In 100 Words: Flight 93

Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13 (King James Version)

In 100 Words: Flight 93

They did not ask; they acted. Their situation required no extensive soul searching, no profound analysis.

They knew what was happening. The decided it was wrong. They acted. Together.

Why does this particular act so grab at our hearts? Is it because we are in the same situation: knowing what is happening, deciding it is wrong, yet lacking the courage, we sit passively waiting for someone else to pay the price?

In this act, we can see America as a calling as much as a country. We can see a confirmation of our collective spirit:

“Together we WILL be free.”

Platform shift
We're in the process of rolling out new blogging software that we developed in-house. It replaces Six Apart's Movable Type, which we started using -- originally as just an experiment -- back in April 2003.
Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

I have a ##HSA## site/blog. It pretty much covers ##health savings account## related stuff.

Come and check it out if you get time :-)
