Today one year later, my TV is once again on. I don't want to watch, but I can't turn it off. Does that make sense? Did any of 9/11/01 make sense? No. Not since the civil war has our country seen war on its own soil. My heart is broken but like our country and our people in it, it will heal and be stronger than it ever was. Today, someday, everyday those "jerks" who did this to us will pay the ultimate price. Do I want revenge? No, I want peace in our home, in our little town, in our big cities, in our country and in our world. I want a better place for my children, grandchildren and our first little great grandchild in which to live and love one another. My prayers are for my friends, neighbors, fellow Americans and my world - yes even the "jerks" who planned and did this. They certainly need them. And now, finally, may God shine the light of peace on all of us forever and ever. Amen
