9/11 - 10 Years Ago

On 9/11 - 10 Years Ago, I was a mere 8 years old. We didn't watch TV and though we had a radio, we hardly ever used it. The thing I remember about that day was knowing my daddy was supposed to come home from Anchorage, Alaska that afternoon....the agony and suspense-wondering if he was going to die too....and then the relief upon hearing that his flight had been delayed a day or 2.

I remember for the next couple days our pretty strict bedtime gone, and just sitting around the table listening to the radio like they did in World War II, with our ears to the speaker....waiting....for what, we knew not.

At the time, New York seemed forever away, and in all actuality, I really only grasped the reality of what happened in the last few years. Everyone I knew closely made it....even the girl at our church who worked in one of the Centers but was absent from the building....

Now knowing what I know, my heart goes out and grieves with all those many families....what a joy it was for all of us kids to jump my dad when he came in the door....but what about all those kids who didn't and never will again??

This short but powerful video really impacted me with the reality of it all, and how God is still and always will be in control. I hope it impacts you as well. I can say no more.
