Got this as an email...thought I'd share.

"You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke
>filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his
>fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am
>not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go." I was with his
>wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her
>up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't
>coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
>woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of
>your heart for 50 years!" I said. "Of course I will show you the way
>home - only believe in Me now." I was at the base of the building with
>the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him
>home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered. I
>was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was
>with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
>believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved
>them. I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when
>you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that
>I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met
>Me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last
>breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and
>flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my hand." Some chose, for the
>final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there. I did not place you in the
>Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
>there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?
>September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday
>your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now
>while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to
>go." I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

>God

>OUR FATHER
>
>During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this
>opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the
>following:
>
>You simply say an "Our Father" for the person that sent you this
>message:
>
>Our Father who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name,
>Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us
>this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
>those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but
>deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
>forever and ever Amen.
>
>Next, you send this message to everyone you know. In a while, more
>people will have prayed for you and you would have obtained a lot of
>people praying for others.
>
>Next, stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing
>what you know is pleasing to him."
