I had just gotten back from a Student Council meeting and was goofing off in my Physics class in high school when it came on the news. Now, a year later, a lot of things have changed. I hope nothing like this ever has to happen again. Too many innocent people died, just because some guys were ticked off. This was sent to me this morning by my uncle, and I thought I would pass it on.

I WAS THERE
(Please pass on, has not been broken since 9/11)

You say you will never forget where you were when you
heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with
a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held
his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace
to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is
OK...I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized he
wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking
on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of
course I will show you the way home - only believe in
Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I
took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were
overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers
there, comforting and assuring them that their faith
has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next
to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you
sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for
the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.

Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my
hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.

But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may
not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in
that explosive moment in time, would you have reached
for Me?

September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready
to go."

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God
(author unknown)

During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is
only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the following:

You simply say an "Our Father" for the person that
sent you this message:

Our Father who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is
in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory, forever and ever Amen.

Next, you send this message to everyone you know. In
a while, more people will have prayed for you and you
would have obtained a lot of people praying for
others.

Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in
your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him.

If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the
instructions.

Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be
ashamed of you before My Father"

If you are not ashamed, send this message...only if
you believe. "Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain
of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and
night.

Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
everything. Christ is my strength.

Some of you whose email I had handy may have gotten it from me already. For the rest of you, here it is.

-Ben
