My heart goes out to the victims and families of those lost and injured at the WTC and Pentagon attacks, passengers and crews of airlines across the nation, and to the firefighters and police officers who without a second thought only cared about saving lives.
I also am praying for the people that did this and their families and those who have the same ideals and values as the hijackers or Osama bin Laden. I am praying for our country's leaders and the leaders of other nations who are forced to pick up the remnants and stabalize economies and bring terrorism to extinction.
I was in bed when it happened listening to the radio and not wanting to go to class. I heard beginning reports of a plane striking the WTC, so I turned on my television to see the other plane strike and the towers crumble shortly after. I think I lost my stomach as I sat there in horror and watched Tuesday's events unfold.
Honestly, I am scared for whats to come with the economy, threat of war and nuclear possibilities and scared as to what I want to do with my life or how these events will affect my life and the lives of my family that I want to have one day.

Two years later, little is different as far as how I feel. My prayers are still with families affected by what happened and those affected around the world by what has happened since - our troops, innocent people affected by war in foreign countries and the people who lead nations and world organizations.
Looking back on my words is a little odd for me, but I was compelled to see if I said anything and what that was. I am watching a 60 Minutes special on Bush that has caused me to tear up and revisit this thread.
