Bush said this line in his speech following the Sept 11th incident ; where USA and the rest of the world was caught "unaware"( note the inverted-commas because someone did claim that they knew about the purported evil plan before it happened and yet the CIA and the FBI did not pay heed to it ; too much of false positives all the time maybe...)
I wonder how much has been done to alleviate the terrorism problem in homeland America - and how many of these measures are actually effective. Recent tsunami events on a day after Christmas 2004 and Easter 2005 shows our unpreparedness towards facing the unknown and the unevitable. If another crash happens at another Twin Tower such as KLCC, how would it impact us? How would it impact the emotions of the entire world ? Are we going to launch another hunt against the terrorists or hold another Force Of Nature II concert ? How do we prepare our own minds and hearts against heartless acts as such?
Make no mistakes twice. We've been caught in the act twice during the recent earthquakes - let it not be a third time. Do what's right and do not wait till the last minute, when every thing is already too late.
Jesus says this : "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36)
What warning has Christ given that we might not be taken by surprise by this great event? It's in the Bible, Luke 21:34-36, TLB. "Watch out! Don't let My sudden coming catch you unawares; don't let Me find you living in careless ease, carousing and drinking, and occupied with the problems of this life, like all the rest of the world. Keep a constant watch."
Do what is right.
