Quiet day on the blogging front because of the commemoration of Sept. 11.

I can't imagine how hard it is for people who lost loved ones in the tragedies, especially since their grief is so public. On NPR this morning, a reporter said that she has spoken with a lot of people, including fire fighters and other victims, who intend to commemorate the day quietly in their fire houses or at home with a few friends and family. I only hope that whatever they do, they can find peace within. God bless them.

I'm not going to be at any of the commemorations today. I feel saturated with rememberances and I need to soak in this stuff without drowning in it. Last nite, on NPR's All Things Considered, they played, for at least 30 minutes, a sonic memorial which was a phone line to which people called in and left their thoughts and reflections on 9/11 and the WTC. Some people left answering machine recordings from people trapped in the building and general stuff like that. Now, that is deep.

Like Andrea Crouch sings, I firmly believe that

Jesus is the answer for the world today

He is the Prince of Peace and only through his grace will we find that peace we all seek.
