911DA Story: Story

I was traveling by car on the interstate when the news came on. I sat in disbelief listening to live accounts of buildings falling and confusion. I was stunned. Upon reaching Little Rock, my intent was to drive directly to the Arkansas Baptist Convention building on West Capitol Street. Driving through the downtown traffic and still listening to the news accounts, I became disoriented and could not find my way. While driving down streets I did not recognize, I prayed, "Dear Lord please show me where the Baptist Building is. And dear Lord have mercy on this nation." I turned another corner and there I was..two doors down from the Baptist Building."
