I was on my way to work down town Tampa. When I walked through the door, one of my co-workers said, did you hear the news, I said no, then she said go and look at the news on television.
I could not believe what I saw and heard, that two planes flew into the twin towers.When I saw what happen and the Towers were collasping, I said O My God have mercy upon us.
I burst out in tears, for I am a New Yorker and felt like someone pierced me through my heart.
I turned to God and said, that is my home, I lived there for 16yrs. I could not stop crying, I felt lost and an empty feeling inside of me.
I went to church immediately to pray, for my fellow Americans, whose lives, were lost innocently.
I blamed the government,for they did not protect the American people.We do not need war, we need peace and harmony, one nation under God.I ask the Lord to take his world into his hands and let there be peace on earth.
I am asking all Americans to wake up, for we have to take control of our country and not others.
