I HAD JUST ARRIVED AT WORK, I WORK FOR SOCIAL SECURITY
AND EVERYBODY WAS HOVERED AROUND THE TV IN THE CAFETERIA,
AND THEY KEPT SHOWING THE TWIN TOWERS AND MY HEART JUST SANK LIKE A SINKING SHIP AND I JUST STOOD THERE IN AWE AND
WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT AND THEN THE PENTAGON
WAS HIT AND WE WERE TOLD OF A MEETING IN THE AUDITORIUM AND THEN WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE WAITING TO HERE FROM CONGRESS
AND OUR DIRECTOR WHETHER WE COULD GO HOME OR NOT, AND THEN WE WERE TOLD WE COULD LEAVE FOR THE DAY, I WAS SO RELEIVED
I COULD NOT IMAGINE WORKING THAT DAY. I WENT HOME TO PRAY FOR OUR NATION AND OUR PASTOR AT CHURCH HAD AN IMMEDIATE PRAYER MEETING, IT'S TO BAD IT TAKES SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO GET US TO REALIZE HOW FRAGILE LIFE ITSELF REALLY IS,
I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS WILL BOND TOGETHER AS ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
