We visited New York this past July as part of our summer vacation. These are some photos I took of the 9/11 Memorial, St. Paul's Chapel, and the Freedom Tower. Rebuilding and restoring hope in the face of evil, and the idea that destruction is not the end should point us not to just a vague idea of freedom, but to Christ, who rose from the dead to secure our ultimate freedom from all evil.
