A Decade Ago

Well, I just had a whole post about September 11th typed and then it spontaneously self-deleted. Story of my life. So instead of the personal memories from fourth grade, and the reflections on how it is our generations Pearl Harbor, etc. I'll leave a few quotes. For my words really are insufficient to say anything worthwhile about the atrocities of ten years ago today. But the Lord was not caught off guard.  And our nation can rest in his sovereignty. 


"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9


The following is John Piper's tweet from earlier this morning. I am not at all surprised that his remark would be such, but I find it sobering nonetheless. We talked about this same mentality with regards to election this morning in Sunday School.
"Jesus' sure word to me on 9/11: Do not be amazed that the towers fell. Be amazed that they didn't fall on you. (Luke 13:1-5)"

    Thanks! I actually tried that and it had a much earlier draft saved with only one sentence! Haha. I'm choosing to blame it on AU Wifi instead of Blogger
