A day to remember. . .

Did you read it? Have you heard? This morning's Los Angeles Times, along with newspapers and media outlets all over the country, are calling for a day of remembrance for our men and women in Iraq, Afghanistan and other trouble spots in the world. NBC, CBS and ABC are supporting the McCain and Obama camps in their unprecedented move to shut down their campaigns for the day, urging the nation to its knees in prayer!

No, I didn't read it or hear it either! In fact, this morning's LA Times was extollng a different kind of champion--as the Angels defeated the New York Yankees. To be fair, there is a small article about Al Qaeda if you look carefully.

Candidates will gather, there will be moments of silent observance and we'll pretty much "do our day" as usual. But it sure wouldn't hurt to recall the fervor, the fear, the pulling together in prayer and fasting, the flags that waved on 9/11--7 years ago. And to pray for our young people who 7 years ago weren't even teenagers yet, and now they're giving their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A day to remember!
