To my first responder and all those out there who put others before themselves, thank you!

“Heavenly Father, we come before you with hearts full of gratitude for the first responders in our community and across the nation. We thank you for their courage, their selflessness, and their unwavering dedication to protecting and saving lives. Lord, we ask for your divine protection over them as they face dangerous situations and respond to those in need. Grant them strength, wisdom, and resilience, and may they feel your comforting presence in moments of stress and fear. Shield them from harm, bless their families, and bring them home safely. In your holy name we pray, Amen

Good morning, these are my morning thoughts…

We live in a nation that is fractured by political animosity. Yesterdays public assassination of Charlie Kirk in broad daylight I am certain has long been a concern among elected/public officials. When the moment arrived, it unfolded with chilling precision. The logistics were set, a campus stage, a live microphone, and a single, fatal shot. The aftermath now presents a somber and uncertain future for anyone who has an opinion that others may disgaree with.
Today we reflect on the horrific tragedy that took place on September 11, 2001. We must remember the profound impact of that day. Twenty four years ago, the hate that motivated a few individuals brought unimaginable sorrow to a nation and the world. The attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the brave passengers of Flight 93 claimed nearly 3,000 innocent lives.
But in the face of such devastation, we also witnessed a powerful and enduring human spirit. We saw the heroic actions of first responders who ran toward danger, the selflessness of strangers who helped one another, and the unwavering resolve of a country to heal and rebuild.
While we honor the memory of those we lost we are still faced with those who hate. Those who want to hurt others because of their difference of opinion. We must unite as a country, and a society. We can agree to disagree without harming each other. We are Americans, regardless of our backgrounds and should try to come together in solidarity and compassion.
God Bless America 🇺🇸
