Lets Remember 9/11


Do you remember where you where when the first plane crashed into one of the world Trade Center Towers? I normally leave home early but for whatever reason, I was still at home at the time the first plane slammed into the WTC. I watched on TV as the 2nd plane turned and crashed into the second tower and America as we knew it changed.
I drove towards the George Washington bridge and I could see the smoke rising from where the buildings where supposed to be. People just kept looking in the direction of the smoke. They could not comprehend what had happened.
The innocent and the relative safety we felt evaporated. I used to remember each time that I crossed the George Washington bridge or one of the tunnels that it could be my last time. I always wondered how my children would remember me if that happened.
I wondered if death would come in a loud blinding explosion or if it would be a slow painful death.
It is 7 years later and I drive by the same bridge and tunnel and I don't for one second give death a thought.
Let take a few moments to thank God for what we have and how far we have come in the last 7 years.
Please dedicate a moment to all those that perished. Also pray for those that hated enough to kill people that they never met.
