Has it been 5 years?

It's unbelievable to think that 5 years ago was one of the most surreal, and unbelievable events of our generation; the 9-11 attacks in the U.S. All of us remember that day, yet in its distance from today it almost seems like something fictious that didn't really happen. I remember waking up at my friends house in Caronport; they had gone to work and school. By fluke I turned to CNN to check sports scores only to see moments later a live picture of the second plane crashing. Today there are still many questions that linger about that day and the aftermath. What for the betterment has happened? Wars continue to rage, greed fuels it; men have still not been brought to justice, while others have been injustly treated; the fear of terrorism has been replaced by the imperialistic march of the American military machine, Canada's sons and daughters have been dragged into this.
The only thing I conclude 5 years later is this: I long for the peaceful reign of Christ who truly delivers justice and yet is the vessel of grace to an imperfect world. It is the hope of all Christians.
