Opus 2024-269: The hour of the 11th

We have a lot of dates that stand out in our minds.  In the positive sense we have birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Easter, the day you got your first kiss.  Use your imagination.  Dates have a lot of positive meetings

They also have negative meetings.  December 7.  October 7.  And today we remember September 11.  It is good to pause, and remember in many ways.  If you knew someone who was killed or maimed on these dates, you might want to remember them either by making a phone call if they still survive or just offering up a prayer for their eternal condition.

We also want to be grateful that we have survived these dates so far.  But as we’re being grateful, we need to remember.  We need to call to mind what actually happened and filter out the spin the America haters and put on these things.  On September 11 it was hard to find anyone who was not shocked and concerned.  Actually that’s not an accurate statement.  Remember that in much of the world people were dancing in the streets and celebrating the attack on the great Satan.  Remember that in this country there were people joining that celebration.

My feeling is that these are the same people that were celebrating on October 7 when Hamas attacked Israel.  While much of the world is filled with horror at the attack on people attending a peace concert, the same people who danced in the streets on September 11 we’re at it again.  And of course the same people were calling for peace when Israel responded.

Don’t just remember what you think you remember.  Make sure you don’t except what you remember by the presentations at the media.  Check your facts.  Check your memory.  Check with your friends.  We are in danger of being overcome by the same people who deny the Jewish holocaust.  There are people who are not ashamed to show their face in public, who claim that it never happened.  Keep in mind that there are evil people around you; that there are people who lie around you.  There are people around you who are just waiting for the evil to come for you.

So remember.  While you are Remembering, don’t forget to be as prepared and alert as you possibly can.  December 7 was not the last time America and Americans were attacked.  September 11 is not the last time either.

May God encourage you and give blessings to your soul.
