As a little girl in Sunday school, I loved to hear stories about Bible times. When it was time to listen to our teacher tell a story, we would scoot out wooden chairs near hers as she pulled the Big Book of Bible Stories off the shelf. It was a large book with perfect pictures to go along with the stories.
All of them were great, but one has recently jogged my memory again. It was the story about keeping our house clean so good could live in it.
It goes like this. When you decide to live a good life for Him, you clean up your life. You want to do good things and take care of people and serve God. You want to make sure you don’t fall into the old bad habits that brought you to Him in the first place. When you start cleaning up your life, it isn’t easy. Your friends encourage you to continue doing the “fun” things you did together. You are tempted daily to fall back into your old ways. As my teacher told us, "If you don’t live for Him every day and grow stronger in that Love, then the mean old devil will come back and he’ll bring more of his bad friends with him to make sure you fall back into your old ways." In other words, he brings reinforcements.
Ten years have passed and evil reinforcements may be on their way. As 9/11 approaches, new threats are at our door and they cannot and MUST not be ignored. In a recent report by Heritage, The Right Strategy to Fight Terrorism, they state:
“Unfortunately today, the United States is not on a trajectory to adequately counter the terrorism threat. Though America has enjoyed success in thwarting al-Qaeda's efforts against the United States, those victories have come as a result of a decade of taking the offensive in the war on terrorism. Now, though, the Obama Administration is changing course with its new National Strategy for Counterterrorism.”
This week, the White House issued Guidelines on 9/11 Observances. “The guidelines say the absence of Al Qaeda playing any significant role in the “Arab Spring” uprisings against longtime autocrats in the Middle East and North Africa should be cited as evidence that Bin Laden’s organization “represents the past,” while peaceful street protesters in Egypt and Tunisia “represent the future.”
It is unfortunate that we must spend today’s observance of 9/11 showing you not to believe this statement.
Why?
Remember my Sunday school lesson? If you don’t clean it out and fill it up with love, the evil one will come back with reinforcements. They’re here.
Three thousand innocent men, women and children died on 9/11. Will we allow more to die at the hands of radicals? Will Congress put a stop to the low-level concerns of this administration or will it stand up and protect American citizens from evil men who want to destroy us? Will those in Washington DC who want America to be like Cairo be allowed to shut down our government?
Just like the pictures in the Big Book of Bible Stories resonated with me for life, the pictures of 9/11 have also.
Let us be reminded of the horror that evil men can do to innocent, loving Americans. Show the attached pictures to your family and let them know that the enemy is coming back with reinforcements and this time, they may look like us. 9/11 Aerial Photographs
May God have mercy on America and send His angel reinforcements to protect us. Amen

Don't worry about HOFFA JR.His dad said and made the very same threat to a group of people back in the 1970' s and shortly after he simply disappeared!!!
What goes around will come around!!!
TS, We agree much more than you think. By only playing defense in the homeland I mean that inside our borders we are not doing anything to change the minds or stop the radicals. I would rather take the chance and have freedom than continue giving up more and more freedoms in the name of safety. The opression of the government in response to this perceived threat is everyday. If we had to live with crazies everyday we would take them out instead of appeasing them. We certainly would not be allowing them to build isolated enclaves for recuiting more radicals and pushing their agenda within our borders.
US citizens bow to Islamic demands as they seek absolute Dhimmitude, the Islamic system of governing populations conquered by jihad wars, encompassing all of the demographic, ethnic, and religious aspects of the political system. With each concession comes further surrender and appeasement towards Islamic demands.
I stand with you give me freedom or give me death.
It is too easy for any radical, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, atheist, to kill innocent Americans. One of the reasons it is easy is because we are a free country. Americans can essentially go where they want, associate with whom they want, worship where they want. With freedom comes risk. I'll take the risk. I watched Norway deal with a terrorist situation in its country by a man calling himself a christian and killed innocents because of a perceived threat he felt. I will take the risk of the crazies over giving up my freedoms because without freedom, what is any safety worth? I know Jefferson said it way better. If people want to march in the streets, then I'm all for it. If workers want to strike, please do. If people want to call me a barbarian, please, bring it on. If some marchers really think they can shut down the government, go for it.
And by the way, if taking out Osama Bin Laden in secret in Pakistan isn't going on the offensive, I don't know what is.
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
