" MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL "


You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11, 2001.

Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words, and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?

September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. God

WE HAVE LOST OUR FOCUS;
6 years ago today evil actually did triumph over good.The world we knew would never be the same,even here in Chicago.
Chicago has had every chance to prepare,but like New Orleans has just payed lip service and squandered $$$$ allocated to them.
Instead of beefing up our ranks we've allowed them to dry up until they are essentially not a deterant,we can't even contain an unfocused West Side Minister,let alone a focused well armed cleric.
The chance to upgrade our arms and training was waisted by installing useless cameras,that focus on No. 1 parkers,but yet remain silent on in-progress calls under the very same box.
The leader of the Dept is a street smart man with a very unimpressive resume,no one from these huge place called Earth bothered tp apply for this thankless job.
My suggestion to right these wrongs, is to simply hire
an outsider that would have NO TIES to Chicago.Recruit from the ranks of either the Special Forces or an Israeli or English Military person proficient in the challenges of the insanity that is overseas,but on its way to our shores.Eliminate all these ridiculous Exempts spots and hire a P.R. FIRM TO HANDLE OUR IMAGE WHICH IS THE LOWEST IT HAS EVER BEEN.
WE ARE AS WIDE OPEN NOW AS WE WERE 6 YRS AGO TODAY,PLEASE CORRECT
THIS, mr mayor.

OBAMA=OSAMA

Let us not forget this. If he is elected, he more than any Democrat will lead this country down the path to appeasment that will make the French look like stallwarts.

Born a Muslim, raised a Muslim, always a Muslim.

I don't care where he now goes on Sunday mornings, it is an act, he was still born a Muslim and will always be a Muslim in his heart.

It has been said by some of the appease at all cost types that only 5% of Muslims are radical to the point of having all infidels (Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddists, Bahais, Wiccans, forgive me if I left a religion out) killed. 5% of ONE BILLION (that is a conservative estimate)is still 50 MILLION people that want me dead because I don't pray like they do.

He is full of more shit that Jesse and Al put together. Those fucking traffic stop stickers and cards are proof positive of this.

FUCK HIM, FUCK OPRAH, FUCK ALL THE HOLLYWOOD TYPES WHO SUPPORT HIM.

I'd rather see Hillary, than him.

If he had it his way, we'd all be praying 5 times a day on little rugs, facing east.

Vote for Fred.

The liberal mentality that has taken over this country is obvious. This country has long forgetten what happened on 11 Sep 01. Islam is a threat to civil and moral human exsistence. It's sad to say, but I think it will take another terrorist attack in America to possibly make people in this country wake up. The "feel good about myself" liberal mentality will be the downfall of this country. What will the liberal pukes in this country do if we were to fall to an islamic or communist country. File a lawsuit? Protest? Ya right, and then you and your family will be executed. Liberalism is harming our country more than any war or terrorist attack could ever do. Every good and moral value in this country is being struck down. Liberals don't want God to be a part of anything in this country. Hatred of America, the police, our political leaders, and God is favored by liberals. Hopefully there are enough sensible people in this country who still love America, God, and good values that we can overcome this liberal agenda that is thrown in our face everytime we turn on the news. Hopefully it will not take another 11 Sep 01 to wake this country up! God bless the troops, God bless those who died on 11 Sep, and God bless America.

I am in mourning today with the rest of America. Deal with the pain in your own way, but praying to "God" after a tragedy happens is kind of more symbolic than helpful. Not trying to spark contraversy but you control your own destiny. If you want to do something, get involved and get the first responders and recovery teams money they deserve for performing their jobs. Support the War on Terror! Go to your FOP meetings. God is not going to grant us a contract. The one who thinks he is God is. Sorry if I offend anyone, but it the way I feel today, especially today. Maybe i need to talk to a Reverend.

Anybody wanna see how a REAL Police Dept. operates? Then go to nbc.com and click on the video section and look for the story about the NYPD and it's efforts at counter terror. They do things like having a helicopter ALWAYS on patrol looking for suspicious people or ships with heat signatures, divers that go under water checking the hulls of ships for bombs and an assortment of other things that a PROFESSIONAL Police Dept. does to safeguard it's citizens. Now when you take into consideration that there was probably alot of fluff on the part of the NYPD in the report for the benefit of the newsmedia, they are STILL way ahead of us when it comes to combating terror.They seem to be proactive in their efforts to protect their citizens. Absent from the report is any mention of outdoor roll calls, seatbelt missions, POD missions, anti-violence missions,event numbers, all the things that WE do to combat terror on our streets. I wonder whose efforts will produce the best results. Oh yeah, wait, I forgot. We hired lil Tommy Byrnes daughter to work in our counter terror unit. I feel safer now.

Not a popular opinion, but I am with you on this. I was raised in a religious upbringing including over 16 years of religious schooling. After the things I've seen on this job for the last 15 years, never mind world events, I can't bring myself to pray to "God" anymore.

Fortunatly for the culprits,we have the worst commander in chief in the history of the US during and after this horrible attack.Interment camps,closed borders,deportations all would have made sense in the last six years.After it was discovered that almost all the hijackers were saudis,following a saudi mastermind a war with Saudi
Arabia would have made sense.Instead we invade Iraq.Under the pretext that they were somehow involved.Remember when Bush fought to turn port security over to some Dubai outfit??Two hijackers were from UAE,and most of the money financing the hijackers was wired from there.Next time you see your president holding hands with some Saudi royalty and kissing him on the mouth,because thats a sign of respect in their culture,remember this....twenty years of Bushes and Clintons have sent this country in some bad directions.....its not a liberal/conservative issue,its about putting your country ahead of your personal interests,and our so called leaders have failed us miserably.
