"Let's Roll!"

Today we pause to remember that tragic day four years ago, when the centre of power and commerce in America was attacked in such a tragic manner. In remembering those who died in the Twin Towers, let's not forget those who perished at the Pentagon and also those brave warrior heroes on board a flight destined to destroy the White House, who defeated the terrorists, even at the cost of their own life, dying in a remote field in Pennsylvania.

I recall those agonizing minutes, as I watched on live television half way around the globe, as air traffic controllers attempted to contact that lone Boeing aircraft, flying high above the American homeland.Let our prayers and our vigilance ensure that none of these innocents at those three locations died in vain. Let us pray that He, (my reading of this indicates the Holy Spirit), who does restrain, shall continue to restrain, until He (and let's pray us) - are taken out of the way.

Until that time, we are on a world-wide damage limitation exercise, called to respond to a world in crisis with the compassion of Jesus Christ.Four years on, and those simple words "Let's Roll" still speak powerfully of those who put others first, before their own dreams, families and security. Let us always remember.
