What, if anything, did September 11 teach us
as Christians?
Jeanette Keim

I believe that September11 has brought us closer to our
church and closer to our neighbors. It has changed our church - more love is
shown; our faith has grown.
In general, people in the U.S. have been more aware of their families, and have
drawn closer to God.

I realize that much as we want to control our lives, that
it is God who is in control of our lives. At the time, I felt I ought to do
something, but didn't know what. I no longer feel helpless. I have come to be
more appreciative of my family and life.

How to keep our faith in God and to always be prepared.
Keep yourself right with Jesus. Keep our lives right. "What would Jesus do?" His
hand had to be in that tragedy, too, for the good things that came out of it.

Quite a bit - that we shouldn't worry too
much about tomorrow. God's already there. He knows what we need tomorrow.
9-11-2001 reinforces our need to be conscious continually of the brevity of
life. |

It helps us to realize suffering is a part of life. It can
come any time, any moment, anywhere. Instead of pushing it away, we need to
learn to deal with it.
