Today I am thankful to be alive...
7 years ago something happened to our country that we just never expected.
I can remember sitting in 1st period History with Mrs. Coleman at Castle Hills... I was a sophomore in highschool... a girl that had gotten sent home for dress code came in and whispered something to my teacher who immediatly turned on the radio, it was at that moment that I felt stunned. The announcer on the radio screamed, "oh my god! They just hit the 2nd tower!" I am on the verge of tears now writing this... it was a very real day for me. I couldnt imagine being a wife or family member of someone who worked in the towers... My heart goes out to those familes still. It was that day that the word "hero" became very real to me. Watching on televison for weeks to come the fire fighters digging through the rubble... wow... seven years... doesn't feel that long ago does it?
where were you when you heard?
I am proud to be an American, I am also proud that our military went to protect us, they didnt wait to defend on our turf. They went to stop it before it came again. Thank you God.
Thank you to our troops for not letting events like 9-11 happen to us again.

I remember where I was when I heard and saw what happened. I was a senior in college (Union University) and I woke up to my radio alarm. Instead of music and funny jokes, there was a serious tone. When they mentioned something about a building being hit, I ran into the living room and turned on the T.V. and saw it unfold, both the replay of the first tower and the second. Aside from one class I had, the rest of them were cancelled. I remember my roommates and I watching on TV all the news coverage. We also had the chapel open where students could go in and pray.
It was a time where I felt grateful that I knew and followed God and it reminded me again of how precious life is both the physical and spiritual.
