John Edwards: "Walk with me through this day"

John Edwards spoke this morning at the Congressional Black Caucus Prayer Breakfast about the triumph of joy over sorrow on the third anniversary of 9/11.

Good morning. Today, on this day of remembrance and mourning, we have the Lord’s word to get us through. “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed stones; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”

And let me show you how we are building and putting cedars in those three hallowed places—the footprints of the Towers, the Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania. Walk with me through this day and you will see that this is a season of hope.
