I was in my sociology class at 9:25 on Tuesday morning. My professor adressed the class stating that she heard on the radio that morning of the first building being struck by an airplane but their wasn't much information about why. We all came to the conclusion that it was a freak accident where something just went terribly wrong. In my next class, my history professor was more informed and he went into more detail. We discussed issues about middle east angst towards the US. Many of the students, including myself, were ignorant about the fact that we could be targeted because of our support of Israel. Our whole nation as a whole yearned for more information about what conflicts there were between us and the middle east. On my way home, without knowing the terror which I would see on the news, I prayed and told God that I wanted to console Him. Never in my life have I thought that I wanted to or even could console the most high God. My heart was sad because my God knew of the destruction and killing on such an omnipotent level. His heart was broken over our world and the people which he created. The Lord has comforted so many hearts since 9-11 and our country is grateful. What else can I say except GOD BLESS AMERICA!
