Some Random Thoughts on 9-11

U2 helped us heal...Their hope and faith album "All That You Can't Leave Behind" was released almost a year before 9-11, and the band was in the midst of touring, but they essentially became a big part of helping America through those tough times.  They were the first big band to play New York after that day, and the songs from "All That You Can't Leave Behind" seemed to be prophetically written for that time, and then there was this:

Wilco's essential "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" was also seminal during those days, but from a different angle.  I will let  John Hendrickson of the Denver Post put it much more eloquently than I ever could:

Peace, and I hope and pray that finally this day will just be the darkness before the light, and that 9-11 will finally be put in its place when He returns.

Love God and love your neighbor.
