     I had just gotten up on that morning, and went to turn on GOOD MORNING AMERICA ( wich I watch every morning,} when they interrupted the station with a news flash that one of of the world trade buildings had been hit by an jet plane  I stopped dead in my tracks to watch, when to my horror they showed the second tower being hit by another jet plane.  I was stunned, and not believing what I saw.  I said how could this be happening.  Who could do could so such a horrible thing not once but twice within minutes of each other. Then hearing about the jet crashing into the Pentegone and yet still another jet heading straight for the pentegone , but crashing in Pennsylvani was in my mind horrifying.  I was in a daze the rest of the day. To think of all the lives that were lost was just unbearable. I couldn't imagine what was going through the minds of the people who had love ones who were in those jets or in the twin towers that they would never see again.  As I watched the story unfold I thanked God that I did not have any loved ones on those jets or who worked at the twin towers, then I began to pray for all who were involved in this deadly diasaster, that people would find their loved ones alive and if they didn't that at lease they would have comfort in knowing that their loved ones did not die in vain.  They were victims of some cruel sadistic person, and never thought this could happen especially in the U.S., but now we know it can happen as it did.  So we should not only be ready as we are for another attack on the U.S., but we should be spiritually ready in our hearts.  We should be asking our selves "if we were to die today would we go to Heaven", and if we are not sure ask the Lord to come into our hearts, and forgive us for our sins.  If you don't know how to do this, then go to someone who does.  I know that going to my Lord and savior has gotten me through this last year.  Even though I am getting over what has happened on 9-11, I will never forget it, and I am still praying for all the loved ones who were left behind.  I also want to say to those loved ones  when you can't bear the pain anymore take comfort in knowing that Jesus is right beside you to ease that pain, and help you get on with your life.  May God give you peace and comfort as you go no with your lives.  Love a friend in Christ Judi</text>
