Where will you be?

 Dearest family and friends,
I know I just sent out a letter a couple of days ago but I felt the Lord leading me to send out another note after all of the things that have happened today (yesterday for you guys on the East coast). I just
got back from a prayer meeting that was held at Calvary Chapel. Several points were brought up that I
feel I need to share with all of you. In the book of Nehemiah in the Bible, Nehemiah says a prayer that I think fits the situation that we, as Americans, are in. Read Nehemiah 1:2-11. In this Nehemiah prays-
"O Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel (v 10) They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayers of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man."

For my brothers and sisters in Christ, I ask and pray that you will join with me and the other believers of this great nation and pray. Pray diligently!!! Pray hard!!! Pray unceasingly!!! Pray for the survivors,
pray for the rescue workers for strength, pray for the medical workers for kindness and compassion towards the patients, pray for President Bush that he will make the right decisions and that he will lead this country closer to you, pray for the families that are searching for loved ones, pray for the families that have lost loved ones, pray that justice will come to those that did these acts, pray for love toward all people (even our enemies).

For those of you that do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I pray that you will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. He is the only way to spend eternity in Heaven. In John
14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

First you must realize that you are a sinner- "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"  Romans 3:23.
Second you must believe that Christ came to earth as a man and died for your sins and mine.
Then you must accept the gift of salvation. You must pray and ask forgiveness of your sins and ask him to be Lord of your life. It is more than just having a knowledge that there is a God, it is a personal relationship with him.

Don't put off till tomorrow for we are not guaranteed another breath never the less another day. Please take your eternity seriously. I can guarantee that the people aboard those planes or in the towers didn't know when they woke up this morning that it would be there last day with us. Please don't take that chance.
 A comment was made tonight- "After the tragedy today, heaven and hell were very busy."  Which side will you be on?  Please email me back if you have any questions. I am far from knowing all of the answers but I can pass the questions on to my pastor here and I can pray for you. Prayer works and I want to see you all spend eternity in heaven. You are in my prayers.

 Much love and God's blessings,
