I remember I was at home watching television, being in the first three months of my pregnancy with my fourth child I was always tired on the couch. I remember seeing the news broadcast and not really understanding what had happened until about the 3rd or 4th time of seeing the footage. By then, my husband being a Ligonier Police Officer had been called by the Department, was put on alert. Ligonier, IN being a very small town has a high Arabic population. I remember my Son being in school in first grade and I was terrified to be away from him. I was contimplating whether or not to go and get him, but when my husband got the call from the department I was terrified and called to school to inform them I was coming to get my son. They were very sympathetic with me and gave me not trouble. The children were not given to much information on the matter and the staff handled it very well as not to scare the children, I was very greatful for that. After having my son with me I prayed for the situation in NY but also prayed for the situation in our own area. We were not just in the stix anymore, untouched, everyone was vulnerable. I am greatful for my faith in Jesus. He is my protector. His word says that he will make my enemies my footstool. He is my protector and with him I tried to instill in my terrified children that God would be with us no matter what as he was with those in the twin towers that day. The scriptures are very clear that America will protect Isreal. I know that we will stand strong, the bibles says so and it has never been wrong. My faith in the Word of God has kept me strong and it what will keep this Great Country of ours strong as it did from the day it was founded, "In God We Trust" this is what our country was based on, this is what will keep us strong.
