I was at work on that morning and there were some co-workers talking. All of a sudden, a co-worker that had been in the army came running into my office yelling, "There's been a plane that has flown into the Twin Towers!" I said, "I hope that everyone is okay." But then, he came into my office again saying that another plane had been crashed into the WTC and I said, "Oh my God, this is for real!" My co-worker then said that New York is under attack from terrorists. So, to myself I said a prayer. When I got a chance to see it on the news, it hurt me so dearly inside that tears started pouring out of my eyes. I started praying even more than I had been previously. It looked so sad to see people running for their lives. I thought you only see those kinds of things in movies. My prayers are for the children that lost their parents, and I pray that everyone that survived prays even more than they did before this happened.
Everyday of our lives counts, and I call every hour and minute a blessing. Even though they claim that Bin Laden did it, the Bible says love thy enemy and it is not for us to judge. This tragedy has brought everyone closer to Christ. My prayers go out to the world.
