This weekend we remember the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks upon our nation. Please pray in a special way for those who died, their families who continue to deal with the trauma of loss, healing in our nation, and for our world's conversion to a respect for all human life from conception to natural death.
Happy Labor Day Weekend! I hope you enjoy the extended weekend and rest from our daily labors. Although at times it may not feel so, work is actually a gift from God. Work perfects us as it glorifies God through our deeds, and it makes us contributors with the Lord in building the Kingdom of God in our world. May this Labor Day help us unite all of our works with the work of God.
