I will be changing these thought provoking words of wisdom from time to time.

<pre>Here are two that will really make you think......
<span id="vote">Why Should You Vote ?</span>
OUR OBLIGATION TO VOTE
Aren't we glad somebody has always believed
in the significance of one?
Like back in-
1645... when one vote gave Oliver Cromwell the control of England.
1776... when one vote gave America the English language instead of German.
1845... when one vote brought Texas into the union.
1868... when one vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment.
1875... when one vote changed France from a monarchy to a republic.
1941... when one vote saved the Selective Service System just twelve weeks
before Pearl Harbor was attacked.
1923... And did you know that one vote gave Adolph Hitler control of the
Nazi parry?
Ah, the power of one! Never underestimate it.
You, alone, can make a difference!
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
If there really is a GOD, how could he allow this to happen?
Where was HE? How many of us have heard that question "Where
was your GOD when the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was
attacked?"
Well I know where my GOD was the morning of September 11, 2001,
and He was very busy! He was trying to discourage anyone from
taking these flights. Those four flights together held over
1000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard.
He was on 4 commercial flights giving terrified passengers the
ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who were
called by a loved one on one of the high-jacked planes said
that passengers were screaming in the background. On one of the
flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake
the highjackers.
He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees at the World
Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were at the towers when
the first jet hit. Since the buildings held over 50,000 workers, this
was a Miracle in itself. How many of the people who were employed at
the World Trade Center told the media that they were late for work or
they had traffic delays.
He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the workers
could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the towers didn't
topple when the jets impacted. And when they did fall, they fell
inward. GOD didn't allow them to topple over, as many more lives
would have been lost. And when the buildings went down, my GOD
picked up almost 6,000 of his children and carried them home with
him. Reassuring his frighten children that the worst was over and the
best was yet to come.
He sat down and cried that 19 (Terrorist Attackers) of his children
could have some much hate in their hearts. That they didn't choose
him, but another god that doesn't exist, and now they are lost
forever.
He sent his children that are best trained for this disaster and had
them save the few that were still alive, but unable to help
themselves. And then sent many others to help in anyway they were
needed.
He still isn't finished though, he held the love ones that were left
behind in his arms. He comforts them daily. His other children are
given the strength to reach out to them and help them in any way they
can. And I believe he will continue to help us in what is to come.
He will give the people in charge of this great nation the strength
and the wisdom to do the right thing. He would never leave us in our
time of need.
So when anyone asks, "Where was your GOD on September 11", you can
say "everywhere"! And yes, although this is without a doubt the worst
thing I have seen in my life, I see God's miracles in every bit of
it. I keep praying for those who don't believe in GOD, every chance I
have. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not
believing in GOD. Life would be hopeless.
