I had to come back again! Got to give a shout out to my awesome waiter at Cafe Selmarie! Joe
And I stopped in there for some tres leches cake (original and pumpkin) and inteligencija coffee! My fave! Jack thank you for accepting my card and I pray you'll be encouraged by the writings! Yummy coffee and cake!

I hate to bring up past wounds and hurtful scars from the past that have been stored pretty far back in the minds of people. I totally agree with you guys. Who all likes to remember bad memories?

Especially the ones that turned our world upside down! Especially ones that took the lives of loved ones! People were left with internal maybe even, external pain, heartaches, and again maybe even external scars.... Yeah. Those typee of memories.

I want to bring up 9/11. If it's going to be a hard pill to swallow, I understand if you want to stop reading. However, perhaps my reading will do the total opposite? Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it will bring you good memories.

Unfortunately oh, that was a really tough time for people. However, if you think about it if it wasn't for Unity within people all over the world, how would we have dealt with it? No, I vaguely remember all the details about that tragedy. Many people probably just try their best not to remember it.

What I do remember about that time was this. Our country, or maybe even at some point our whole world of people were united! I can imagine many people were probably sharing feelings of loss of their loved ones,with other people. Other people just felt really bad for other people and what they had to go through. People praying. People donated stuff for their cause.

Basically, because people felt so bad for the people that were affected, they did what they were able to do. To reiterate, why do people do that? Answer is because they felt bad.

I am pretty sure that at the time people were wondering why would God allow this to happen? And, to that I say well just like any other bad thing he allowed to happen, my answer is I have no idea. Just had to trust it. I have my guesses. But it's not realiy or is it?

Like I said, oh wow how people were praying to God. Did they ever pray before? Do these people that were praying even believe in God? Friends, I'm going to share a deep thought and I'm going to share some Bible verses following my deep thoughts.

God is mad!

Ezekiel 25:17

I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my
vengeance upon them.”

Isaiah 26:21

For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no more cover its slain.

Nahum 1:2-6

The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord is avenging and wrathful; the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither; the bloom of Lebanon withers. The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it. Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the heat of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken into pieces by him.

Psalm 7:11

God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day.

Matthew 10:28

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

1 Peter 3:8

Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

Philippians 2:2

Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

1 Corinthians 3:10

I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
