The
Stairwell
Meet me in the
Stairwell
You say you will never forget where you were when you
heard the news, September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a
man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye". I held his
fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to
say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is
OK... I am ready to go". I was with his wife when he
called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held
her up as she tried to understand his words and as she
realized that he wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell on the 23rd floor when a women
cried out to me for help. "I have been knocking on the
door of your heart for 50 years!" I said.
"Of course I will show you the way home - only believe
in Me now."
I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I
took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard
my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with
every prayer. I was with the crew as they were
overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers
there. Comforting and assuring them that their Faith
has saved them.
I was in Texas, Kansas, Mississippi, London, Quebec,
Seattle. I was standing next to you when you heard the
terrible news. Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every
name - though they did NOT all know Me.
Some met me for the first time on the 100th
floor. Some sought me out in their last breath. Some
couldn't hear me calling to them through the smoke and
flames. "Come to Me... This way.... Take my hand."
Some chose, for the final time, to ignore me. But I
WAS THERE.
Most of you were not in the TOWERS that day. However,
if you were there in that explosive moment in time,
would you have reached for Me?
Would you have heard My call to follow me?
September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for
you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be
there for you as well. Seek Me now while
I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
"ready to
go".
I will be in the
stairwell of your final moments.
Meet me there.
