One thing never changes

This day in history, 11 September 2001, changed the world we live in, forever. Even if you are not American, everything changed. Here in South Africa, on the southern tip of Africa, it has changed everything about the way we live and do business: laws have been amended affecting the banking system, property (whether you rent or buy), and even cell/mobile phones. Most people can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing the moment those planes hit the Twin Towers. I was having tea with one of my favourite friends. We had been told to turn the TV on after the breaking news came with the first Tower being hit. Only to have the shock in real time of watching the second plane fly into the South Tower and flames appear everywhere.

The fallout at the time caused many people to search for answers. Places of worship were full, every Sunday, for weeks and months afterwards. Somehow the stresses of life take over and the  deep spiritual yearnings in us get shelved after a while and we just carry on, putting one foot in front of the other.

There is one thing though, that never changes. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever... (Hebrews 13:8)
