9-11


I had planned a much different post before I started writing.  But Noah, my four year old, came to sit beside me and ask questions as I looked at pictures of 9-11.  In his innocence he asked why the building were on fire.  I started crying, and then he wanted to know why.  It was really had for me to tell him about the evils of 9-11.  I am so very thankful my kids do not have to see images like this as an everyday occurrence.  Those of us who gathered around a TV 9 years ago will never forget the feeling we had when we realized just how far true evil will go to satisfy their thirst for hate.  I thank men and women like my husband everyday for not letting something like this happen again.  And I thank God for healing the hearts of Americans everywhere.  This wound is a reminder to all of us to never take our country, military, freedom, and above all our safety for granted.  We will never forget!
