I was at home because it was my off day from my job. I work in forensic mental health and was talking to a friend/co-worker ,on the phone, who was at work. We work on residential buildings that have televisions and my friend/co-worker told me to turn on my television set because something was going on. My friends name is Judy and Judy couldn't see the television from where she was talking to me on the phone. I turned on the television set and saw the live taping of the first plane that had hit the first tower. Then the live coverage switched to the Pentagon and I realized at that time that this was a terrorist attack upon the country. I called Judy back at work and told her that it was bad, REAL BAD, and that the Pentagon had been hit and breached by an airplane. She said that she was going back to watch the television on the building to keep track herself and I hung-up from talking with her. Then the coverage was back at the World Trade Center and I saw the second plane hit the second tower. I was already upset and I began crying then. I called a Christian friend of mine and we began praying for the country and the victims of this terrible, horrendous act. I cried and prayed all day because I knew that this country; that was founded by a majority of men who were believers; was now in the beginning of a terrible time in its' history. I hope and pray that this supposed democracy that we live in, in this country, will wake up and reclaim what the God of Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob gave to our founding forefathers and reclaim this nation as a God-Fearing, Christ believing nation. The majority of the people in this country say that they are Christian or Jewish and they all believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I thought that in a democracy that the majority rules. We have lost track of that over the years and I believe that these terrorist attacks that have been so heinous are a wake-up call to the factual majority of people in this country. I hope that the people will wake-up. May God have mercy on us all and grant my, and other believers prayers. Time to wake-up America! Quit letting greed, lust,and moral decline run our country. It is time for The Truth of love,integrity,hope and faith to take its' place in our government and our country! For God is working for good towards those who love Him, those who are called according to HIS PURPOSE!-Romans 8:28.....WAKE-UP! WAKE-UP! GIVE THIS NATION BACK TO GOD!
