SEPTEMBER 11TH AGAIN 2010
Once more a September the 11th has arrived. It is now a bitter-
sweet day for me.
I am one year older - it is my birthday - I am 68 years young.
Then it is a day most in the Western world will never forget. The
cowardly act or Islamic fanatics kill thousands on the attack on
America in the year 2001.
In the deaths of those on that fateful day it is to be remembered
many were from many other nations than just the USA. 24 were from
Canada. The stories of many of them have been told in various ways
over the last 9 years. That day also gave us many who were willing
to do their job in the line of duty, like the firefighters, and
put their life on the line.
The first lady of the United States gave a very fine and touching
speech at the memorial in the field where United Flight 93 went down
- a memorial to honor the 40 people (flight crew and passengers) who
sacrificed their lives so the terrorists could not fulfill their plans.
It is once more a reminder that fanatical people of any "ism" are just
that - crazy fanatics - who believe killing others is doing the work
of a "god" that wants them to kill others. Jesus the Christ said that
some would come who would think they were doing God a service by
killing others. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Fighting, killing, wars, murder, is not from God; it is from the carnality
of the human heart and the inspiration of the work of Satan and the demons.
It is a time we must remember that such hate and killing is still in the
heart and mind of many fanatics in the world, and sadly the killing goes
on. People and nations are still "leaning war." The time is coming, in the
age to come, when God says people and nations will learn war no maore.
The Almighty God of the universe has promised that 1,000 years of a new age
will come, where there will be peace, where nations will beat their weapons
of war into farming implements, where God's law shall go forth from Zion,
from Jerusalem. A time when the lion and the lamb will be together and a
little child in the midst of them; when the lion shall eat straw like
the ox and the cow. It will be an age where children shall play safely
in the streets, when people shall live like the tree - long and full. It will
be the time when the blind shall see, the deaf shall hear, the lame shall walk,
the dumb shall speak. A time when everyone shall sit under his vine - all
shall have their home and piece of land, where no greedy fraudulant finance
geek will robe the people of their homes. It shall then be a time when sin
and wickedness and corruption will be stopped before it begins, when a
voice will say to those wanting to do evil, "This is the way, walk you in
it."
It will be a time when the Holy Spirit is poured out upon all peoples and
nations. When Satan and the demons shall be chained up and no more be
allowed to roam the world deceiving the billions.
It will be a time and age when TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be the law
and constitution of all lands. It will be a time and age when only the
true religion and ways of the Eternal shall be diseminated and taught
in homes, schools, and every place of education. It will be the time of
only ONE HOLY BOOK - the Bible, the Scriptures of the Lord. Just think
about it - a time of no false religion or ideology - a time when no one
will believe in evolution, and all the "science falsely so-called."
It will be a time where no life is cut short - no more 9/11 days of violence.
It will be an age when people will know for certain that the dead will all
be resurrected in God's time plan of salvation for all.
It will be an age of unimaginable joy, happiness, peace, love, safety,
growth, prosperity, an age where all will praise the Lord for His goodness
and His perfect laws of liberty.
Right now September 11th does not so much remind us of that age to come,
but of the hate and bitterness SOME still have towards others on this earth.
It is also my day - the day that I was given to be born. So I must remember
what BLESSING I have been given throughout my life. My parents provided me
with all the physical things a child growing up in Britain desired - I had
my electric train set, my drawing books and pencils, my first musical in-
strument at age 8. I had my soccer ball and boots, my cricket bat, my two
wheel bike. I had the things I was interested in. I was in the Boy Scouts
for years - camping trips and many other things you learn in such a group.
I was blessed with being an athlete and captain of my last two years High
School soccer team. I was captain of the Cricket team for the last year of
High School, and on the ahtletic team in the sprint and relay races.
I was blessed with being able to come to Canada at 18 years old, and start to
work with Western horses as I had planned from age 7. I was blessed with
finding the right Horse Stable in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where I learned
so many things about all parts of the horse business, and where I finally
found a mare I could do my trick-riding on, others had not worked out.
I was blessed in Saskatoon to learn the Orthopedic Shoe-making trade from
A to Z as well as becoming skilled in orthotic making, which I practiced off
and on for decades.
I was especially blessed to have God lead me into a deeper and fuller under-
standing of His Word the Bible. I was blessed to have what some called an
"interlectual" mind-set when it came to studying the Bible, but also blessed
with much common logic.
The blessing since 1982 when I was ordained into the ministry of Jesus Christ
has truly been amazing - the truths I have be guided into ...words fail me
to express it.
The blessing of John Rumanus and Jesse to come into my life and build this
Website for me - Jesse showing me how to keep it alive and expanding before her
untimely death - what a blessing they were to me. Now I have the blessing of
Tara Chapman in my life and the help she gives me.
From the age of 7 I wanted my "Trigger" horse - one like the Trigger that Roy
Rogers had. For many decades I had put the idea away. At age 62, yes 62, God told
me to start looking for my dream horse. I did for six months, just about given up
when a lady one hour north had registered Quarter horses for sale. I emailed her:
"You would'n have by any chance my dream horse - a Golden Palomino - the dark gold
color, a mare, about 15 hand, and young. I was shocked when she replied, "Yes,
I've got the very horse you are looking for." And horse market was down and instead
of 7 to 10 thousand dollars I bought her for 3 thousand dollars.
What a horse she has turned out to be, if I had the time, she could do just about
anything from show jumping to the race track to reining to the halter class, to
cutting and to roping - her beauty comes from her direct Sire and Grand-Sire.
I am blessed with health and strength, blessed with 20 or so student a week for
that extra retirement income.
I'm blessed that my mind is still sharp for study and meditation and for writing.
So yes this day - September 11th - is a sweet and bitter day for me. Some died on
this day, but some were also born, I was one of the latter.
