"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, Virginia, California, Michigan,  Afghanistan.

          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?

Sept. 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

          During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are

          doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it

          is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the

          following:

Stop and think and appreciate God's power

          in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to

          Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the

          instructions. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of Me, I will be

          ashamed of you before My Father"

          If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only

          if you believe. "Yes, I love my God. He is my

          fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and

          night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do

          everything. Christ is my strength."
