Coffee Time!

Brother David, I lost a dear friend and prodigy on 9/11 at the Pentagon. It has been very hard on his family.

[nChrist]

Brothers and Sisters,

I didn't lose any personal friends or family on 9/11, but we all lost something. I lost being naive about the lengths terrorists will go and senseless killing of innocent people. It didn't matter that people from their own countries and small children were among the victims. In fact, that just made the so-called terrorist victory SWEETER for people who place no value at all on innocent human lives. We should have learned a lot about the enemy that most of the free world faces, but I fear that we don't take the enemy seriously enough yet. As an example:  only the terrorists will decide when the war is over - NOT US! The PROBLEM is NOT going to go away if we leave it alone - it will simply get WORSE! This is an evil that we will be forced to deal with whether we like it or not! Our only choice is where most of the problem will be dealt with:  1) their soil with our terms;  2) our soil with their terms. REGARDLESS, the terrorists are NOT going to stop trying to kill us!

[Soldier4Christ]

Amen, brother. There are many that say it was our policies that brought this about. The only policy that caused this is our desire for freedom from an oppressive people. These people are intent on world domination and will settle for nothing less. Those people that think that talking or giving in to these people will work are truly blind to the truth.

I will admit that when I first saw the news I didn't know or understand what was going on, mostly because no closed captioning. Even when I learned about it, I was still naive.
There is something else but it would sound heartless.

[nChrist]

I'll never forget that day. I was doing a Bible study and had Fox News going in the background, so I probably got the news when it was first available. My first thoughts were, "What idiots would want to kill all of those innocent people?"

I then watched the situation develop, get worse, and the buildings fall. It was like watching a horror movie, but it was quite real. It was a matter of minutes when they first started mentioning the nursery with all of the small children, the women working in a variety of jobs, and the facts that the victims were from all over the world.

I considered it to be an act of inhuman cowards, and I still do. If they want to fight, let them go fight someone who can protect themselves and fight back. People of honor and bravery don't go and intentionally kill defenseless, innocent women and children. WEIRDO COWARDS do things like this! The best they can hope to achieve is fear because they certainly won't get ANY RESPECT - ZERO!

Innocent women and children do die in wars, but it's a sickening, cowardly twist to intentionally make innocent women and children the primary targets. The terrorists are told that they will have 72 virgins waiting for them after they die, but this is a lie MOST OBVIOUSLY. IF this was the truth, would a person with any courage and morals go kill a bunch of innocent women and children for a sex orgy? NO! - it takes a cowardly and immoral person to do something like this, regardless of whether there are virgins waiting for them or not!

I remember watching, what I thought was a movie. I turned on the TV late, for me. Till that infamous slip of the tongue, when the newsman started cussing on air.  I still remember those words today. The camera man focused on another plane. Then I saw the 2nd plane hit the other tower, and flames exploding out the other side.

When I saw thew 1st tower start to fall, I prayed for those still alive in both towers. Then cause I got up late, I when outside to raise my American Flag and prayed to God help those in need right now.

Good Morning.... here, have a cup of coffee ...

[nChrist]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

It's been a long night, but I'll see everyone in a little bit.

By the way, who is our official trumpet player who gets everyone up?

[Soldier4Christ]

I can make some pretty loud and awful sounds on a trumpet that I am sure would wake everyone up but I think that I am one of those that need to be woke up before I could do it.

Well when you learn the bugle, then you can have a trumpet.   But I think the bugle is more your speed..........

[Soldier4Christ]

I really don't think you would want to hear me playing either one.

[Shammu]

I really don't think you would want to hear me playing either one.

Well it wouldn't bother me, I'm in Arizona.........

[Soldier4Christ]

Well it wouldn't bother me, I'm in Arizona.........

Don't count on that helping any.

Good Evening everyone. I have been so busy cleaning up outside as we had a big blow last night with lots of rain. Think it knocked down every  dead palm frond, from every tree on our place. Think I would drather pull weeds, as I don't have to bend over so much. Also been watching C-Span and all the stuff about the war. Trying hard not to let my blood pressure go up over the political nonsense.

I was at a friend's house on 9-11. Heard them talking on the radio about the first airplane hitting the tower. Turned on the TV just in time to watch the second plane hit. I stood still in shock and grief for the lives lost and the horror of the moment. I prayed for all those people. I am still saddened by the thoughts and pictures of the towers falling. I will never forget.
