I still remember 15 years ago today. I can see the planes crashing into the Twin Towers in New York clear as day. Although we’d experienced a few attacks prior to that day, 9/11 was really the beginning of the war against Christianity by Radical Islam. Hard to believe how now it’s a regular part of our daily lives, Islamic terrorism that is. I’m not going to go into it but they’re much more committed to their cause than we are to ours. Most people don’t even know we have a cause. Do you? Ask yourself, what’s our cause or to help you out, what’s your purpose in life? What do you believe in more than anything else? The majority of us wander around trying to please ourselves by buying things others don’t have. Â It’s like a race or contest to see who can have the biggest house or fanciest car. Sadly many think their purpose is to accumulate as much stuff as they can and party as often as possible. People’s values and purposes have for the most part vanished from their way of life. Say what you will about the Islamic terrorists, but they are 100% committed to their cause. They eat, sleep and live it 24 hours a day. In case you don’t know, they hate us for our religion and our way of life. Until we embrace our values or find our identity (of which religion needs to be a central part of) and chose to defend our way of life, we don’t stand a chance. They’re even infiltrating our communities that we live in by imposing their laws, their churches, and their way of life, and thus changing America (through spineless misguided politicians here and abroad) to become a different Country. Not to get political but this is mostly led by Democrats who are being fooled by believing that muslims will eventually assimilate into our way of life. Nothing could be further from the truth. You see, they want to have their own schools, own churches, own communities and even their own system of laws here in America. While not all muslims are terrorists, fewer than 20% of them will denounce Radical Islam, hmmm. What does that tell you? We’d better wake up or we WILL lose the battle, and yes folks, it is a war. If you don’t see that, God help you, as I assure you, they see it as a war, and a long one at that, that they’re willing to take time to win. We worry for our kids and their future and what kind of World and Country they will live in. Enough said.
It’s cool up in the mountains in the mornings. In just the past week, the colors have drastically changed. At soccer yesterday morning we were all wearing coats for the first half until the sun warmed our backs then making it too hot to wear them in the second half. After the game, I loaded up Luke’s elk in the back of my truck and drove to Frisco to meet him as he drove up from Denver. Ty went to Sonny’s and was gone all day and spent the night. Jag was here and then around 8:30 last night went to his friends until who knows when as we were asleep when he came home. Ah to be young again, going out at 8:30!
We didn’t make it to the car show as the day just got away from us. Today I’m cooking beef bourguignon which is beef in red wine with glazed carrots, onions and mushrooms. You then serve it over rice after it cooks for about 10 hours. I’d better get busy so it’s done by 6pm.
Lori and Jag are both sleeping. I guess I’ll have a second cup of coffee and get moving. Hope all’s well, take care and God Bless and take a moment today to reflect and pray for the families that lost loved ones in the senseless tragedy 15 years ago this morning.
