Five years ago, I woke ready for class, early on in the semester. I turned on the TV to see a special report. A plan had hit one of the towers of the World Trade Center.
Aside from the bomb planted years before in the garage of the WTC, I knew nothing about this building(s). I would never have picked it out in a skyline unless somebody said, "Its the tall ones".
I had no mistake about it this time five years ago. And then something else happened - a second plane flew right into the second tower.
So where I was this time, on that infamous, disasterous day - heading to a silent, emotionally drained classroom. Class was canceled and we just say watching the news. Class ended, nothing changed and then on my way back, the towers collapsed.
God - please bless those who were effected by the atrocities in NYC. Thank you for the heroes that emerged, and I pray for the dispicable who wreak havoc. I pray for the end of terrorism and injustice. I pray for peace. I pray for wisdom for every and all governments on both sides of the terror race. I pray for forgiveness to be implanted in the hearts of so many in the world and pray that you would continue to work in my own.
