Former Wichita Falls pastor Robert Jeffress spoke at Liberty University yesterday morning, covering many topics including the reason God allowed the 9/11 attacks.
In Lower Manhattan, near the spot where the Twin Towers once stood, the reading of the names of those who died on September 11, 2001, began early Thursday morning.
If you continued watching the coverage of the Super Bowl after the game ended, you got to see something pretty interesting during the press conference.
12 years ago today - on September 11, 2001 - two planes hit the World Trade Center towers in New York City, a third hit the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and a fourth went down in a field in Pennsylvania. Country stars like Lady Antebellum, Hunter Hayes and Josh Turner are among the many Americans taking a moment to remember the victims of those terrorist attacks.
On Wednesday morning in New York, family and friends of the victims of 9/11, along with law-enforcement and political leaders, gathered at the World Trade Center site to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
I can honestly say I never bought into the politicization of the September 11 attacks. Not for a second. Yes, once the facts were known, I realized it was an act of war which required a political and, likely, military response from our country. But I never thought of it as a holy war and I damn sure never thought it justified any fundamental change in the way we live our daily lives.
