Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: For some reason,I didn't turn the television on the morning of 9/11. I was happily oblivious to what was happening on the other side of our country. I first heard about it while driving my son to the busstop for school. I thought it was some sick joke and that the DJ had a seriously perverted sense of humor! When I returned home and turned on the TV, I saw that this was no joke. Our precious country had indeed been attacked. I stumbled through the day in a state of numbness. Even though I had not suffered a "personal" loss, I felt a sorrow that went so deep. Sorrow for the families of those lost...sorrow for a world gone crazy. We had a service that evening at my church. We gathered in our sorrow and prayed for our leaders, our country and those putting their lives at risk. We prayed for God's mercy on this country, this country that had turned our face from Him. I found it strange that so many people who support striking the name of God from our schools, our government and any public place, would now turn to Him. I hoped that people would change, and allow God back in this country! I remember our pastor saying, "people wonder when we will get back to normal. Well, let's hope we never get back to normal, if normal means turning away from God and treating our fellow man with disrespect". I agree....We must never forget what has happened! We must not turn our backs on God again. We must not let those people who died, die in vain! God Bless America!
