TERRORISM - MISSED OUT ON SEPT. 11, 2001

By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.

The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on. It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.

1) As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
2) Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
3) One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.
4) One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.
5) One of them missed his bus.
6) One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
7) One's car wouldn't start.
8) One went back to answer the telephone.
9) One’s child dragged and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
10) One couldn't get a taxi.
11) The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he
developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today.
12) Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone and all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where I was meant to be at this very moment. So think of this the next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated. May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.

Plainly, don’t get short changed. Let’s be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31) 2) Repent Of Sins (17:30)
3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37) 4) Be Baptized In Water (2:38)
5) Live A Christian Life (14:22) 6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
