The following information was published on the Internet, and it’s the perfect response to a letter to the editor that appeared in the Nov. 24 Star Herald:Where was God on 9/11? Are you thinking, "Where was God on 9/11 when the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked?" Well, I know where God was on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, and He was very busy!He was discouraging people from taking those four flights. Together they could accommodate more than 1,000 passengers, yet there were only 266 aboard. He was on the four flights giving the terrified passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the people who was called by a loved one on one of the hijacked planes mentioned that passengers were panicked, nor was there any screaming in the background. And on one of the flights, God gave strength to the passengers to overcome the hijackers.God was also busy creating obstacles to prevent people who worked in the World Trade Center from getting to work on time. The workday had begun, more than 50,000 people worked in the two towers, yet only 20,000 were at their desks. On that beautiful morning God created scores of unexpected traffic delays, subway delays, and commuter train delays. A path train packed with commuters was stopped at a signal just short of the World Trade Center and was able to return to Jersey City. And far more meetings were scheduled elsewhere than was usual.God held up each of the two mighty towers for a half hour so that the people on the lower floors could get out. And when He finally let go, He caused the towers to fall inward rather than to topple over, which would have killed so many more people. The foundations of six surrounding buildings were demolished by the fall of the towers, but God held them up for many hours until all the occupants were safely evacuated.And when the World Trade Center and Pentagon buildings were down, my God picked up almost 3,500 of His children and carried them to their home for all eternity. He also sat down and cried that 19 of His children could have so much hate in their hearts, that they did not choose Him, but another god that doesn’t exist, and now they are lost forever.He sent people trained in dealing with earthly disasters to save those that were injured. And He sent in thousands of others to help in any way that was needed. And He brought people together across the world in a way that moved thousands to tears and hundreds of thousands to prayer—and caused millions to turn to the one true living God.He still isn’t finished. Every day He comforts those who lost loved ones. He is encouraging others to reach out to those who don’t know Him or believe in Him. He is giving the leaders of our great nation the strength and conviction to do the right thing, to follow His will.So if you’re asking, "Where was God on 9/11?" He was everywhere! And, in fact, he is everywhere today and every day. Without a doubt, this was the worst catastrophe most of us have ever seen. I can’t imagine getting through such a difficult time as 9/11 or ANY difficult time without God at my side.Without God, life would be hopeless.Shirley TopLuverne
