Remembering 911

9/11 ceremony was emotional on so many levels.  I particularly liked Rudy Giuliani reciting Ecclesiastes, 3:1, A Time For Everything.  Solid and true words to reflect on.  Worthy of printing and keeping on the wall at home...

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

I just watched Boatlift, An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience on CNN narrated by Tom Hanks.  You must see this, it's inspiring.  500,000 people rescued by boat from Manhattan in less than 9 hours!  This represents who we are, and what we will and can do for each other!

Pray for peace, live in peace, live a life of love, but stay vigilent!

Blessings,
Dr. Rick Barrett
