we will never forget...
My girls and I are in Puyallup this weekend to visit good friends and to see the 9/11 exhibit at the Tacoma Museum that is being sponsored by the Smithsonian.
It was a great experience to see and remember all that happened to the victims and to remember how different the world seemed then, compared to now.
Prior to 9/11, life seemed simpler, more innocent....now we live with many more uncertainties....or do we?
I don't believe so.
There have always been radical factions stirring up trouble throughout history, this is nothing new to history, just to the USA.
Really???
"Radical " Christians came to this country in search of the freedom to worship God as they pleased. They sought freedom from oppression and I am grateful for that legacy.
What can we learn of the "radicals" of that horrible day who chose to give up their lives in the name of a religion??
They DON"T represent the whole.......
Don't be hatin' just cuz I say I'm a Christian and don't be hatin' just cuz someone is a Muslim.
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another...for they will know you are my disciples."
Jesus spoke this to his disciples not too long before He left this world....
We must NEVER forget......

I loved you and me getting to share that together with the girls. It felt important to try and teach them the pain of that day, and also the goodness that sprang up in others, in spite of such a horrific tragedy.
I won't forget 9/11 - and I won't forget this day that we shared. I am so glad ya'll were here.
It was a wonderful weekend!
P.S. Thanks for the vomit jelly beans.

I never thought of the pilgrims as radical christians, but your right. Great observation.
Thank you for teaching our girls this important moment in our history, and not letting them forget.
PS. you visited the exhibit on the 1 year anniversary of the Spain terrorist attack, ironic?
