Today we remember one of the most unexpected tragedies in modern history.  The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was destroyed, lives were lost, and people were injured.  The picture posted is not of the destruction 20 years ago, rather it is a picture of the memorial that has been placed where the Murrah building was previously located.

I have been to Museum and walked along the rows of chairs, one for each person killed that day.  It is a somber experience to be there.  The way that people all over nation responded to help care for the injured and then to plan and erect a fitting memorial is a testimony to the fabric of this land we call The United States of America.  Even when tragedy strikes, we don’t let that tragedy keep us from moving forward dedicated to the hope of a better tomorrow.  I encourage you to pray for the survivors and the families of those who died that day.  Even 20 years after the fact, they need our prayers!
