Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was working with another volunteer in a community food pantry. We had just opened the doors when I received a call from my mother telling us a plane had hit the first tower. Calls continued to come but we didn't realize the full impact of what was going on. We heard it was a small plane, or a jet fighter, or a bomb had gone off. It was a couple of hours later before we understood the magnitude of what was happening in our country. Both of us had sons away at college across the country in Nashville, TN, Cleveland, TN and Denver CO. Our first desire was to talk to our children. We knew they were away from the danger but there is just that need to hear their voices. As we finished working at the pantry and were able to return to our homes, like the rest of the nation, I was glued to my television. My church organized a prayer vigil for that night. Our minister of music had downloaded pictures from the internet that we were able to show that night as we prayed. We had people from different occupations from our congregation lead us in prayer for different groups; police chiefs, firefighters, mothers, students, teachers, the armed forces...for that one night we were all one family. We all hurt and this was the only thing we could do that would make a difference. May we continue to call on the Lord and bring our country back to the Christian nation it once was.
