I remember the morning, we lived across the street from our house now and I was pregnant with Gavin. Philip was working from home. We all sat and watched the TV in amazement and horror. I remember a state of shock, wondering if this could really be happening. Then I remember a day of fear, frustration, sadness yet mostly love. I remember phone calls to Mom's, Dad's, Brother's and Sister's. I remember wondering what I was doing bringing a child into a world like this. And I remember loving my family more than ever.I love our country. I am always grateful for the freedoms we have. I don't get caught up in politics because they bother me. I don't like to worry too much about what is going to happen with our countries state of affairs. I have a firm belief that after we do all we can do individually and collectively, the Lord will take care of us. I have enough to worry about in taking care of our families state of affairs.....I will research what I can, vote and try to make a difference in whatever way I can and the Lord will take care of the rest.
911 was a most recent tragic event. There have been so many others. These tragic events are so tough for us mortals to get through, yet I believe they are to fulfill many prophecies and scriptures. They help to teach us many different lessons. My heart goes out to those who knew anyone involved in 911. What a tragic event. No one likes anniversaries of tragedies.
On this anniversary we mourn for those who have passed. We hang our flag out so others know we are mourning and yet proud to be American citizens who appreciate where we were born. The Lord put us here for a reason - to help and serve all those around us. I hope in our small way we can do this to show our gratitude to the Lord. May He watch over all those who are struggling on this day of memory.

How well I remember that day. What a tragedy, and yet it's not what happens to us as a nation or as individuals that really matters.
It's how we deal with what comes our way. We cann't choose the cards we are dealt, but we can choose how we are going to play them. There is no tragedy in the absence of sin. Most of those who died in this terrible tragedy are just fine and are being cared for by a loving Father who sees the whole picture. What can we learn from this personally and as a nation? The answer will require a great deal of thought and prayer, but can help us better understand and become stronger if we approach these kinds of circumstances in the right way.
