It's effects are still felt, and will continue to do so. Among the many reasons that my son has chosen to join the Marine Corps, are the direct and indirect effects in our daily lives. His world changed in a definite way that day, and he has remained aware of that. As his mother, I am all sorts of equal parts proud of him and scared to death for him.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862391896512664748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236410478120328933.post-52256305234181329842010-09-12T14:31:11.757-07:002010-09-12T14:31:11.757-07:00Amazing post Zzub.

The senior pastor and I turned on the TV in the teen room and watched as the towers fell. The phone at the church started ringing and people began showing up to pray. It is day I will truly never forget. That night at a candle light service, a stunned people clung to The Word for comfort and hope. 9/11 taught us a lot of things. And reminded us just how precious life is. Thanks so much for helping us to remember the legacy of those who gave their lives on that fateful day.GreatBiscuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718182850357798147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5236410478120328933.post-9501540094000781362010-09-11T10:48:18.590-07:002010-09-11T10:48:18.590-07:00Wow.
VERY well said, ZZUB. Just the title and ...Wow. <br /><br />VERY well said, ZZUB. Just the title and picture <b>alone</b> brought tears to my eyes. That's such a powerful image and it says so much without even saying a word. <br /><br />It is very easy to get caught up in the trivial but we should always take time to remember today and the families left dealing with the fallout. As they continue to grieve both privately and publicly. I don't believe there will ever come a day when I don't shed a tear or ten on September 11th. Both for the loss of lives, and the loss of our nation's innocence. So to speak. <br /><br />I'll never forget that Tuesday morning as we watched it unfold. The first plane hit right before I arrived at our babysitter's house to drop off our then three year old son and seven month old daughter. As she and I and another Mom stood there watching the news, the second plane hit. And from that moment on, I knew we were witnessing an act that was incomprehensibly evil. I cried all the way to work that morning, just looking at the 'beautiful for spacious skies' (which, ironically, seemed to be so much more beautiful on that day than any in recent memory) and realizing the world that my children would grow up in would be vastly different from the one that their parents had grown up in. <br /><br />And in a lot of ways, it is. There's no denying that. But in other ways, it's still the same. Still way better than good, thanks in large part to our brave men and women in the armed forces and our nation's amazing first responders. So I'll join ZZUB in praying for them all today. And saying God Bless America and meaning it.LaLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155253166426803267noreply@blogger.com
