'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.'\
