A dear FReeper FRiend reminded me that Glenn Beck is going to gather his family next Friday for a solemn day of fasting and praying for our nation. This post is a reminder for us ... for me ... to do the same.
1. Are you going to get with a group to pray?
2. Is your church organizing a worship service?
3. Does your place of work recognize 9/11 and how will they acknowledge that event?
PIMP PING!
Libertina reminded me that Beck was
going to fast and pray on Friday.
I was working in the newsroom at our newspaper that day, and Ill be there on 9-11
Spoiler!
God Bless YOU!
I’m not sure about 9/11 itself yet, but I am contemplating visiting the Flight 93 Memorial in Somerset, PA on the 9th and then greeting the Tea Party Express folks in Johnstown.
It was as if every member of my family died at the same time ..I never knew any of the people who died on 9-11, but it was the same feeling.
I was in a different city at a customers site. Wondering if/when I would be able to get home again.
Right by Love field in Dallas. I still remember how quiet it was that week from the lack of airplanes.
I was and still am a newspaper editor and when I finally got it ready to go, I drove home with my 9mm browning pistol in my lap loaded.
I will be singing at a Christian/patriotic 9/11 program at my church called “For the Future”.
I asked my choir the other day what they would say
if they knew the plane was going to crash in two
minutes? The obvious answer is the God would tell
them what to say.
However, Scripture tells us to be ready in and out
of season. To have a reasonable answer for the
Gospel. And thus... I assign myself practice
scenarios because you never know, do you?
Enjoy the memorial. Be praying in the Spirit while
you are there. I know you will.
Yeah, right. Why is a good Christian fasting during Ramadan? Should that not take place during Lent? The guy just stays confused, doesn’t he?
I was in California watching the news coverage.
I can’t imagine what you went through but I
understand your feeling of loss. We lost some
friends at the towers and in the planes that day.
I finally got out of Dallas after 6 days. Only 4 passengers on the 737.
At the airport some guy from New York was freaking out over the hunters rifle case. Surrounded by people who had slept in the airport for several days and this idiot was saying “do you think he really has a rifle in that”.
Since then I’ve worked with numerous transplants who watched the buildings fall. People who helped care for other people hurt either from debris or from the mad rush.
One lady was running out of the building as the people jumping were impacting around her. She ended up with other peoples bone fragments in her legs.
That is what the communists and MSM want us to forget. America was united following 9/11 and that made us stronger.
“Why is a good Christian fasting during Ramadan? Should that not take place during Lent? The guy just stays confused, doesn’t he?”
He’s not confused, he’s lying.
Interesting how all the 9/11 interviews are from
people who were either at the Pentagon or in NYC.
Your story is from your heart and from the heartland.
“For the Future”... sounds like the Holy Spirit
will be there. May God bless your event.
THANK YOU!!!
I will be in Washington, DC touring and scouting the protest area for the next day’s protest. Might even meet up with a freeper or two. I’ll probably take a picture of the Pentagon at some point during the day to remember the 9/11 attack. I intend to stand on the same side that the plane hit.
Keep telling your stories. It’s Yourstory and
it’s HIStory. No one can take it away from you.
Not the Media. Not Van Jones and his “Truther”
friends. No one can take your story from you.
Who is confused or lying?
“...a solemn day of fasting and praying for our nation.”
An EXCELLENT idea!!!! There’s nothing that can beat this....
God bless you Meyer. I pray that you will be
used as an agent for truth. That God would
protect you and inspire your thoughts and
words while you are there.
“Who is confused or lying?”
BO
Most of what he says has just enough truth that people hesitate. Often he parses words to give the listener the impression he is saying something other that what he really says.
But its ok for the muslim to lie to non-believers
Thanks everyone has a similiar story, some worse than others. Unless we do something I’m afraid we are in for more events like 9/11 and they will probably be worse.
I WILL BE TRAVELING TO D.C. FOR THE 9-12 PROJECT.
Christians can fast at any time....there is no ‘rule’ for it like there is in Islam.!
I’m jealous! May God protect you and keep
you in His tender care as you travel, as you
go out as an ambassador for truth.
9/11 Fasting & Praying PIMP PING!
Yep. Good Christians don’t only fast during Lent. They fast anytime they feel the need.
Are you talking about Beck or 0bama?
But Friday, along with other activities, I will need a few quiet moments looking at the west wall of the Pentagon for that is where the plane hit. I have to do that to remember that day (as if I could forget). I WILL never remove it from my mind. NEVER!
I’ll be teaching my students about 9/11 and the heroes who served that day; and all the heroes, including our men and women in uniform, who continue to serve.
Good to hear from another newspaper man on FR. Run the photos big, will ya?
I’ll be driving to DC with my dad, son and nephew on 9/11 and attending the memorial service at the Sheraton with fellow freepers that evening.
Be sure to kneel and pray for our nation when
you get to the Sheraton. It’s important to
ask for God’s direction and protection as we
go into battle for America.
It was such a sad day ...
we lost friends in NYC ...
thank God my spouse was not in NYC that day.
We almost lost a niece that day ... she was scheduled to be in NYC for a major financial firm ... thankfully her training was in Brooklyn that day and she could see from the company classroom there, people jumping. She just lost her Mom to cancer in August so we were frantic about her well being. You couldn't get through on a cell phone - “all circuits are busy” so we were besides ourselves with fear of losing her too. I am still very sad for those that lost their lives and those who have that huge void in their life from a missing loved one. My heart truly goes out to them.
Glen’s a Mormom.
Fasting is okay ... . If this is how Glen shows his sincerity, I don’t mind.
“Christians can fast at any time....there is no ‘rule’ for it like there is in Islam.!”
Exactly!
I will be driving to DC for the Tea Party. I’ll be praying during my drive for safe travels for everyone attending, for our actions to make a difference, and for God to have mercy on us.
My family will be going about our daily routine, practising what little freedom we have left to us - because on that day, my husband dodged an airplane that plowed into the Pentagon and ended up under his office and I had opened windows in my classroom 10 miles away, heard the blast go off and had to take care of 30 third graders, trying to keep the big, bad world away from them as long as I could...horrible day but one never to be forgotten....
Prayer Campaign Started to Convert Pro-Abortion Catholic Politicians to Pro-Life
I’m proud of your family and they way they
encircled your niece. Sometimes all you
can do is be there for people until they
are stronger. You are great Americans!
Our experiences and challenges are meant to
make us stronger, not weaker.
Thank you for making me stronger through
your experience.
Thanks Salvation. Those will be prayers on my heart.
I am sorry for those who lost their lives on that
day. I am rejoicing for those like you who bravely
did what was expected in spite of shear terror.
No... never forget. It is Your Story... HIStory.
And now it is the story of your 30 students. Don’t
let them forget. It is their eyewitness testimony.
God bless you.
[... You will be praying for safe travels for
everyone attending, for our actions to make a
difference, and for God to have mercy on us...]
AMEN! I will agree in the Spirit with your prayers!
And may The Lord Jesus Christ, Creator of Heaven and
Earth defend America with His victorious Right hand.
We will celebrating our wedding anniversary!
Thanks, Jo - it’s one I don’t mention often - my kids were real troopers that day - loved ‘em - I picked up my husband at the Metro stop wearing his uniform and rubber gloves - that’s it...but we don’t talk about it and know many who weren’t as lucky. When I read about this admin”s wanting to “down play” 9/11, my blood boils - never forget!!!
And God Bless you too....
Congratulations!
I pray that God will continue to knit your
marriage into a strong chord of three that
cannot easily be broken. In Jesus Name...
