New York City police officer Moira Smith hurried to the holocaust-type scene on September 11, 2001, when terrorists crashed an airliner into the World Trade Center. Witnesses say she was last seen helping someone down a stairway. Her police dispatcher heard her calm voice on her handheld radio reporting her efforts. Her name tag and badge were recovered near her remains at ground zero much later. She was the only NYPD policewoman killed in the WTC attack.
Facing opposition from unfriendly Jews and a hostile Roman government, Paul’s life was in danger many times as he traveled and preached about Christ. He wrote that his friends Priscilla and Aquila risked their lives to save him. Like police officer Moira Smith, who gave her life for others, they risked their lives that Paul might live.
Father, help me to have the courage to respond if I should need to risk my life to save someone else
