September 11

It's been two years since the terrorist attacks on America. It is a day to remember, to remember the sacrifice of others, to remember the soldiers who now fight to keep us safe and free.

The day following the attacks, I went to my BSF study. That year we studied the life of Moses--following the exodus of the people of God and seeing how God's hand was on them even though they disobeyed again and again.

On the first anniversary of the attacks, we met for BSF to begin the study of the gospel of John. We studied the life of Christ and as we learned how he touched so many lives while he was here on earth, he touched our lives during the course of that year.

Yesterday we began our BSF study for this year--the history of Israel and the minor prophets. We have a lot of ground to cover--yesterday's lecture and this week's notes cover the books of Joshua and Judges, and this week's reading is I Samuel 1-10.

God was at work on September 11, 2001--in spite of the terrible tragedy. Many lives were forever changed on that day, though many were lost, many were also saved or brought to Christ.

God was at work through the men and women we read about in the Bible. As we study their lives through the Scripture, God can teach and touch us as well.

It will be a good year of study, beginning today, September 11, 2003.

Till next time,
