Land of the FREE

	I've cried to God as I've beheld The world wrapped up in fear Of lack and death and war that looms To snatch lives held so dear I said, "My God! - Have you not heard The newsmen on TV?! Do you not know the shape we're in?! Do you not care for me?!" "I'm scared, Dear Jesus! - Help us! - Please! There's news of fear and war And I'm afraid, Lord - I admit! - Of what might be in store." "Peace, be still, My child," He said "And hear now what I say For I have seen and heard the cries Of those who, to Me, pray. "Keep your eyes upon ME now Not what you hear or see And, as you do, you'll keep My peace - IF your mind stays on ME!" "It matters not what one man says Or even many more For I am God, and I decide Each day what lies in store." "I've told you there would be such times When, of these things, You'd hear I told you so you'd be PREPARED And FULL OF PEACE, not fear." "For all these things MUST be fulfilled Yet MY WORD fails not For I AM still your Hiding Place As all the fires rage hot." "You're hid beneath MY shadow now And you can rest in Me Yes you can trust My Words of LOVE To last eternally." "For I'm your Father, Counselor, Friend Your Alpha and your End And if this was the world's last day Be sure, for you, I'd send." "I've promised I'd save you a place If you would stay in Me Stay pure and faithful, eyes on Me And, victory, you'll see." "I can't tell you if it's 'the end' - NO human man can know But I CAN tell you, it IS close, So be prepared to go." "Each day I give you, reach in love To save another soul For snatching them from Me for Hell Is truly Satan's goal." "Occupy until I come Live each day FULL in ME Just keep your eyes upon MY face And know that I DO see." "I see the world, I see YOUR LIFE And I DO care for YOU And know, no matter WHAT occurs My love for you stands TRUE." "I'm Alpha and Omega - God - I'm King and Lord of ALL I'll be right near to care for you As, on My name, you call." "For I can change the hearts of Kings And I, their hearts, do try And I'M the one who formed this world And says when it shall die." "So, USE this time to SEEK THE LOST And tell them of My Love That they, too, may be saved and live With Me, again, above." "Don't listen to fear's voice - hear MINE! Then STAND on what you've heard Don't fear yours or the world's fate - It's destined by MY WORD." "Keep your eyes on ME, My Child, And let Me wipe each tear For I am God and IN CONTROL - So live in peace, not fear."
	May today there be peace within May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be.... May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith... May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you... May you be content knowing you are a child of God... Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun... It is there for each and every one of you...

THE LADY I wonder what she thought As she stood there, strong and tall. She couldn't turn away, She was forced to watch it all. Did she long to offer comfort As her country bled? With her arm forever frozen High above her head. She could not shield her eyes She could not hide her face She just stared across the water Keeping Freedom's place. The smell of smoke and terror Somehow reduced her size So small within the harbor But still we recognized... How dignified and beautiful On a day so many died I wonder what she thought, And I know she must have cried. One As the soot and dirt and ash rained down, We became one color. As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building, We became one class. As we lit candles of waiting and hope, We became one generation. As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, We became one gender. As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength, We became one faith. As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement, We spoke one language. As we gave our blood in lines a mile long, We became one body. As we mourned together the great loss, We became one family. As we cried tears of grief and loss, We became one soul. As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes, We become one people. We are: One color One class One generation One gender One faith One language One body One family One soul One people We are The Power of One. We are United. We are America. Sunrise in New York Something we will never be able to see again!!! A lady returning on a cruise took this picture this past summer (July 28, 2001). It is a sunrise over lower Manhattan. She Writes: As I watched the beautiful skyline of New York City float past me I noticed the sun was about to line up just behind the twin towers. I was lucky enough to snap the picture at exactly the right moment. If you look at the sunrays it is almost prophetic. - A little spooky. When I show this picture to anyone they almost always ask for a copy. I just want to share it with all that want it. Please take this picture and share it with anyone and everyone who likes it.
