9-11-01 We Still Remember - Pray for Our President

I am sure none of us will ever forget where we were when the horrendous actions of this day took place. We were getting ready to get our family pictures taken when we got a phone call to turn on the TV. We rarely have the TV on in the morning. My husband was in the shower, and I yelled to him, that New York was being attacked. It seemed too unreal. Somehow, we still went to get our family pictures take, but our action almost seemed too uncaring to put the fake smiles on our face to get a family picture. We were doing our pictures in a department store, and people were just standing around, not knowing what to do. I think of those families now, who lost their loved ones with such terror in their hearts. I am sure the visions don't leave.

Read the story of the photographer, Thomas E. Franklin, who took this picture, and the reuniting of these firemen, with the photographer and the President, 6 months after the World Trade Center attacks, and the unveiling of this US postal stamp.

Remember to pray for our president. This is an excellent video clip to remember how he is an ordinary man, with an extraordinary job.

First of all, then, I ask

that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone,

for kings and for all in authority,

that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.

This is good and pleasing to God our Savior,

who wills everyone to be saved

and to come to knowledge of the truth.

I Timothy 2:1-4
