I was at work and a co worker was telling us that a plane had hit the world trade center. I was in total disbelief. Then immediately I thought of my brother who is in the army. I know that I haven't spoke to him in a while. GOD knows I didn't know where he was. So, I called my aunt and she reassured me everything was okay. So, honestly I was okay until I went home and actually watched the news. I wasn't a Christian at the time but I prayed and prayed. Even though I felt a sense of loss it still didn't affect me. So I went to church that Sunday. The preacher preached a good word but it still didn't affect me. Now that I am Christian when the anniversary came it was all to real. I know that GOD has took his protection off of America. He is still going to get the glory. We as Americans have to look at is we rejected GOD. He is no longer in our school systems. If you are caught praying you are in trouble. If pray to the muslims god and it is okay. So I just don't want GOD to be blame for this. Satan is very busy!! He worked in them hijackers, Bin Ladin, and anyone else that wants to kill innocent people. I still give GOD the Glory. I also prayed yesterday for the families. I know that they went to work that tragic day knowing that they were going to see their families and loved ones. Then the terrorist had another plan. I mean it really affected me the way it was suppose to affect me from day one. I don't want to downplay what the terrorist did but I just want it made known that GOD never left and he is still here. Like I said I prayed for the families and I prayed for the terrorist also because if they don't change their wicked ways. The repayment is deep. You reap what you sow. I really realized how much I loved my country. I am very much proud to be an American.
