The glass, concrete, marble and architectural showpieces were a spectacle to behold as we toured the monuments of New York City this midnight, unaware that it was 81 days to a historic September 11, 2001. My host made stops at Times Square, Madison Square Garden, Central Park, Wall Street and the World Trade Centre. Ironically, the photos he took at the Twin Towers printed blank. They would have been the reminders of my visit to a landmark that was.

?But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal.? ? Mathew 6:20 (KJV)

Heaven and earth will pass away.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
