9/11/2009 - Never Forget

8 years ago today our world, our lives our way of living all changed, what we knew or thought we knew all changed. For me I decided to start giving blood, the following week, and have been a faithful giver for the past 8 years, that was one of the benefits; people not thinking so much of themselves and their fears, but what they could do to help others. For a moment we were all one community, there wasn't anything you wouldn't to for a brother. I am a regular at Facebook and Twitter, but today decided to take a break from all of the banality of everyday life by focusing on what really matters, I prayed at 8:46, 9:03, 9:37, 9:59, 10:03, 10:28 (I hope I have them right) and the rest of the day thanked my God for what he has given me, I went to work, just as I had the tragic day. I thanked God for the job he provided me. Mainly my focus was on my family, my new wife, my young son. I'm no different than any other person on that day, but we're all different since that day. I pray that none of us ever has to go through anything like that again, I pray for healing for our country, the victims families, our country's leaders, and the first responders who risk their lives everyday they put on the uniform. God Bless America.
