Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at home going about my usual chores. I received a phone call from a fellow employee to turn on the television. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. I felt such a sickening feeling as I listented to the anchormen report on the terrorism. My first thought was, how could we not expect something like this not to happen? How, as a country, are we to feel safe when the government is allowing all of the beliefs and trusts that we have in our lives to be removed? They have taken away the prayers in our schools, our pledge to the flag and any other sayings that includes God in our language. Why? Because of the people that don't want to believe in Him? We are letting the unbelievers, such as the terrorists, destroy our world as we know it. Just to satisfy them? We want to hold our flag high and be proud but how can we be proud of a government that allows this kind of stuff to happen? I went to work that day and there was a person there that I had had trouble with for such a long time. Her son was in the service and I saw the fright on her face. All of the ill feelings and thoughts I had for her disappeared as I watched her sit and pray to our God to keep him safe. Think about it. We need God in our lives to help us feel secure in a world where there is nothing but tragedy and pain. Maybe, by this happening on 9/11 He is trying to tell us that we do in fact, need Him.
