Today is the 12th anniversary of four coordinated



9/11 terrorist attacks upon the United States


in New York City and the Washington D.C.


metropolitan area on September 11, 2001.




That day, Tuesday, September 11, 2001, I dropped off my daughter, Sarah, at Oak Grove Primary school, and was filling up my van at  a gas station in Oak Grove, Missouri, when a young man told me our country was under attack.

"Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations
of our biggest buildings,
but they cannot touch the foundation of America.
These acts shatter steel,
but they cannot dent the steel of
American resolve.

President George W. Bush




GATE



1.  An opening in a wall or fence

2.  A city or castle entrance often with defensive structures



3.  A movable barrier (as at a grade crossing)

4.  A means of entrance or exit (as a starting gate, an area at a railroad station or airport for departure or arrival, a space between two markers through which a competitor must pass in the course of a slalom race, a door or other device for controlling passage.)

Enemies can be GATES to your future.  

God often (allows) assigns and ENEMY to help you achieve your destiny.

Do you have an ENEMY?  

Look there for your CALLING…your DESTINY. 

David’s ENEMY was Goliath.  Goliath was the enemy assigned by God to usher David into his CALLING and his DESTINY.

Enemies are DOORS…

GATES into your next season…

your promotion.

are guarded by dragons:
we must fight in order to conquer it."

"Anybody who has been seriously engaged 
in scientific work of any kind
realizes that over the entrance to the
gates of the temple of science
are written the words:
'Ye must have faith.'
 It is a quality which the scientist 
cannot dispense with." 

Max Planck
German theoretical Physicist who originated quantum theory  (1858-1947)

"Go through, Go through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people;
Build up, Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
Lift up a banner for the people."

GATES are movable barriers.

With God's help we can pass through them and move into our destiny.

and when the gates of the prison open,
the path ahead should lead to a better life."
