NEW YORK -
As night fell on a mourning nation, twin towers of white light beamed brighter into the sky above ground zero, capping the emotional second anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "Tribute in Light" returned after a 17 month hiatus Thursday night, a ghostly reminder of the day hijacked jetliners slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon (news - web sites) and a field in Pennsylvania, killing more than 3,000 people in the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
"It makes you look skyward," Melannie Dunn, 34, of Manhattan, said as she gazed at the tribute. "There is something hopeful about directing your thoughts upward."
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4)
