9/11

Today is one of the days you will never forget. Each year its creeps up on us, thinking hopefully it will go by without any feelings. It never does. It takes me back to the morning while standing in living room watching the news, one tower on fire and thinking what this all about. My son who was 2 looking along with me. He kept saying fire, fire. Until I found out what had really happened I would have thought that it could have happened this way. Our country was too secure. No one could ever pull that off. They did! Once you wrap you mind around this type of stuff it really messes up the way you thing in regard to other people, religions and their countries. I have always tried to give people the benefit of the doubt. That now is pretty much gone. Now its us and our people. These citizens who are proud to be in this country, people who would die for our way of live, die protecting it. The problem is it seems we are running low on these types. People who would run up 70 flights of stairs to help people who couldn't help themselves. They would die to help others. I worry about what our world will be like when its time for my son to be an adult who is aware and start entering into the political systems. Someone asked if God rooted for people? God is rooting for the world to get through another horrible time in history. When Rodney King asked "Why can't we all just get along?" he didn't realize the magnitude of his comment. Now is not the time to sit back and do our best not to offend people. Really now?
