No, this is not an update in Chapter, rather it is a statement and a chance
for me to share my condolences with those who've lost their loved ones from
the tragic event that occurred earlier today.
I, as the author of this story, wish to extend my prayers and thoughts to those people who have felt a sense of loss over this event. I, like many other American citizens and citizens of the world, am deeply sadden and grieved from this tragedy. Though these people, brave and honorable, may not be able to witness first-hand just how special and important their lives have been, I pray that they will be able to feel how deeply missed they are in all our hearts.
To the families and friends of these seven souls: May God shine down upon you and comfort your hearts as you mourn the loss of your dear loved ones. Each of them has accomplished more that many of us dare to dream, and they gave themselves to this country and to the further exploration of our world, willingly and without a doubt. They exuded honor, valor, and courage, more than I could ever muster up in my own self. I want to extend my gratitude to the seven brave men and women who ventured up into the unknown to make what we don't understand, understandable.
I would like to relay our President's message to the country, that through this tragedy, we can still be sure that the Creator of the skies, the earth, the seas, and all that inhabit them is still with us today. I pray the those who have lost their loved ones today will know that even though you may feel as if you have lost everything in this world, that your loved ones did not die in vain, but they died for their country and for a cause that is noble and worthwhile. As President Bush spoke this morning, he reminded us of the words of the Hebrew Prophet, Isaiah. In the book of Isaiah 40, verse 26 it says:
"Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing."
To the entire country, world, and the families who have lost their loved ones today, please remember that the souls of these people will be remembered by the hearts of the nations of the world, and most importantly, be remembered by God.
May God Bless and Keep you All!
