the silent partner speaks.

a couple of days ago, sp sent me an "inspirational" email. every once in awhile he sends these out to me, (even though i can not stand chain letters/emails/anything) to remind me of faith, blessings, and spirituality, which he is clearly aware i still have, even though i dont participate in organized religion.

this is what he sent:


meet me in the stairwell.


You say you will never forget where you were when >>> you heard the news On 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 >>> he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a >>> woman 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 , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan . >>> 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 not all knew Me. Some met Me >>> for the first time on the 86th floor.. Some sought Me with 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. >>>>>> I did not place you in the Tower that day. You >>> may not know why, but I do. However, if you were >>> there in that explosive moment in time, would you have >>> reached for Me? >>> >>> Sept. 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. >>>>>> God>>> During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are >>> doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it >>> is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the >>> following: >>>>>> Stop and think and appreciate God's power >>> in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to >>> Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the >>> instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be >>> ashamed of you before My Father.' If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only >>> if you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my >>> fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and >>> night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do >>> everything. Christ is my strength.'
