As I start to craft this post there are less than 12 hours left in this year. I debated whether or not to add to the blogosphere’s bloated offerings of end-of-year reflections. But when my friend referenced this site in HER wonderful end-of-year post, I thought I’d better at least have a little fresh content here.
On this 10th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001 the word that keeps coming back to me is “arise.”
I’m surprised that this is the word that that hits home. But after watching too may YouTube tributes, and too many commemorative specials on TV, and shedding too many tears for lives lost, familes shattered, and dreams unrealized, it is the word that comes.
In a microwave society like ours, waiting is a bad word.
Fast food dinners. Instant messaging. Rapid response strategies. Express delivery.
I want it. Now.
