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.

"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

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.

It is a quality which the scientist
cannot dispense with."
