Dear Cybersalt.org List Members,

All Cybersalt.org lists will continue to be silent tomorrow, Friday, September 14, to observe America and Canada's National Day of mourning following the attack on America.

The events this week are so overwhelming in their size, implications, and emotions; I feel that it would be disrespectful and trivializing to rush to try to say anything about them right now.

However, as an expression of solemn observance and memorial to the events of September 11, I have posted a memorial page. I pray that this page will be meaningful to you as it has been for me to make.

Cybersalt.org lists will resume posting on Saturday Morning. I must admit that restarting the lists is an awkward decision for me to make. I want to be sensitive to all impacted by what has happened this week and don't want to be or seem insensitive by sending out jokes and other material.

However, I know that resuming everyday life and activities is part of coping, pressing on, and relieving tension in the darkest moments of life.

So if, once posts are going out again, it is too soon for you to read them, please just delete them and maybe the next day you will want to read them.

God bless you all.

Pastor Tim

In response and reaction to today's events in New York City, all Cybersalt.org e-mail groups will be observing a day of silence and mourning tomorrow, September, 12, 2001.

A fire started on some grassland near a farm in Indiana.  The fire department from the nearby town was called to put the fire out.

The fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could handle, so someone suggested that a rural volunteer fire department be called.

Though there was doubt that they would be of any assistance, the call was made.

The volunteer fire department arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck.  They drove straight towards the fire and stopped in the middle of the flames.  The volunteer firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions.  Soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily controllable parts.
