Ten years have passed since 9/11/01 when thousands of innocent Americans died. We honor them today as best we can. Sadly, many thousands more lives were lost because of wars the United States conducted following 9/11. We have created more enemies of the U.S. for generations to come.
When we assess where we are today, we can't help but ponder why our choices have not made us a better nation. We have discovered that our American way of life is fragile, and that the U.S. is not the center of the universe. We blamed all of Islam for the senseless attacks of terrorists. Yet many of us have friends and family born into Islam, and who through it, seek God's will and seek to live in peace with others--just as Christians and Jews claim to do.
Humility before God is something we need to develop personally and as a nation. We cannot trust our government or banking institutions to have the answers. We can only trust in God.
