             AUSTIN, Texas — Bob Long’s granddaughter is 15 years old this year. The preacher and leader of Rally Call Ministries here is concerned that the young woman — who was just 5 years old when the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks occurred — will not be raised to fully appreciate the change that took place in America physically and spiritually on that day a decade ago.

HOUSTON, Texas  — The Rev. Dr. Doug Stringer — founder and president of the humanitarian organization Somebody Cares America and cofounder of Global Compassion Network — said that the attacks should have been a catalyst for Christians to advance the ministry of Jesus. Instead, Stringer said, the events spawned by 9/11 have discouraged them. He expounds on this theme in the ResonateNews.com Opinion section.

GARDEN VALLEY, Texas — Americans have two basic choices on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists attacks, a Texas pastor said. The 10th anniversary of the toppling of the World Trade Center Twin Towers in Manhattan, and the destruction of part of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., is on Sunday.
