20 Years Ago Whitney Houston Reminded Us of the Power of the Flag, the Anthem, and America

Houston had sung the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl in 1991, just ten days after the start of the Persian Gulf War. The then 27-year-old Grammy-winner brought the nation together with her rendition. She did not just sing the anthem. Houston made it new again by slowing it down, extending the word “free” so that it seemed to soar above and through us, infusing the battle hymn with the soul of conservative gospel music.

Coming Together to Remember 9/11

September 7, 2021  - by  Laurie Bradshaw

The year 2021 marks 20 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States of America that shook the world. These attacks, which targeted the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a third unknown location, resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and affected nearly every member of the world family. As we remember 9/11 two decades later—including the lives lost, the sacrifices made, the selflessness shown, and the heroism that unified the world in a time of unbelievable tragedy—we stop to say thank you.

Thank you to the brave first responders, many of whom gave their lives to save victims of the attacks. Thank you to the families, friends, and loved ones who helped those who needed it most. Thank you to those whose hearts were drawn so close in empathy to everyone who was suffering and in need. We remember you.

To help share goodness in spite of tragedy, we have compiled some ideas to help us and others remember 9/11. Sharing the stories that give us hope can bring joy and comfort.
