Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11, 2001 happened while I slept, I am a midnight shift worker. As I awoke that incredible day, I turned on the TV before I got out of bed. I couldn't believe such a movie was on in the middle of the day, airplanes crashing into buildings, yound children might see this, I thought. Oh well, I'll change the channel, I don't want to wake up to such chaos that TV sometimes brings. I must have changed the channels a few times before I realized that I was watching continuing news coverage. But I was still unclear as to what exactly had happened. As the afternoon unraveled, I lay in bed, catching up to what had occured while I slept. The tragedy struck my heart in such way I didn't know I could feel such sorrow. Having lost a loved one I already understood that I must cherish every moment I spend with my friends and family. I had never realized though that I should cherish all the people of our country and all of the freedoms that we enjoy. Not many days have gone by in this past year that I have not thought about the events of 9/11. Today being that anniversary, I was listening to the radio and heard a dj say something about saying a prayer for those lost on that day. I did just that, I said a prayer, asking the Lord to keep all of those souls close, for they did not ask to be role models in the new war on terrorism, they just lived their lives on that day. I know this may not be a popular way of thinking, but I also asked the Lord to forgive those who died perpetrating this horrible act. I don't know the exact quote, but Jesus once said Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do. I don't condone any of these acts of terror, but I do believe in the "What Would Jesus Do" concept. I happened upon this site through an e-mail sent to me by another site. I had no forethought in what I have written, but I do hope my thoughts hold meaning for some readers. God bless us all, and may we stay united as a country and love one another a little more in honor of all of those who were lost 9/11/01.
