911DA Story: Story

I was at work, when someone husband called to say that the World Trade Center had been hit, about 15 minutes later someone who had been watching it on news said the first tower went down. I couldn't believe it. I was in shock. When I saw it on news I saw people running, jumping out of the windows. It was a day that changed my life. It got me to cherish what time I have with my son, I may never know when I am going to die, or him. It also got me to be closer to God. I realized that America needs God. I now say America Bless God, not God Bless America. I started praying for people lives that were lost. I prayed for their familes. From then on we still see visions of an airplane hitting the building. We see it all. This day changed history, but not necessary changed people. We must realize God hasn't changed he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We are the ones who are changing through time.
