Today is 9/11/07. Six years ago 9/11 became a rallying cry for America. We seemed to forget about our differences and come to the cause of our nation. I'm just wondering this morning:
What ever happened to all of that?
What happened to the sense of patriotism that engulfed us on that day? What happened to reaching out to one another and helping our neighbor?
Now we are filled with anger and distrust toward one another.
What happened to politicians in Washington - Democrats and Republican together - standing on the Capitol steps and singing God Bless America?
Now those same politicians are tearing America apart.
What happened to the prayer meetings that were going on everywhere?
Now we've returned to our pre-9/11 sense of malaise.
What happened to supporting out troops as they go about rooting out those who perpetrated this horrendous act of cowardice?
Now many despise our troops and politicians denigrate their leadership and mission daily.
Six years ago, on 9/11, many of us fell in love with America again. Yes, we had problems. Yeah, there were differences. But we were Americans. And America was right and good.
I'm just wondering: What ever happened to all of that?
God, help us.
