We were at the office when news of the first plane hit the local airwaves. We went to our boss's house (we are a very small office) to watch the news. When speaking with my mother, I learned that the plane that was crashed in Pennsylvania was less than 50 miles from her home. Later that evening, I talked in detail with my then 5 year old son. I have also written a detailed letter to put in his "time capsule." Even though I don't know anyone personally that was devestated by a loss in this tragedy, I know that I was emotionally attached, as an American Citizen. I pray in earnest that God would have His hand in the lives of everyone involved. Jesus, have mercy on those that have tried to destroy our great nation. Thank you for bringing us closer together, and uniting us once again. Father, bring us all to our knees in repentance, and bring us all back home to You. Father, we need You. We are the reason that You went to the Cross. Please help us to see that to know You as Lord and Savior is the only way. I will Praise you forever. In the might, precious name of Jesus, AMEN!!!
