I was getting ready to go to work. My husband and I worked at the same place, and homeschooled our daughter. She was able to go with us. We lived in an area where we didn't get television reception, but that was OK since we don't watch TV anyway. The phone rang and it was our son. "Dad, have you seen the news"? We turned on the TV, and for some strange reason we were able to get reception. Those images are burned into my mind and the feelings are still easily brought to the surface. Watching thos planes being flown into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, that field in Pennsylvania. What horrid images, but what heroism came to the surface. Those courageous people who did not allow the final plane to hit its target...the firemen, the policemen, the red cross, all those who risked their lives to save others. There is evil in this world and those hijackers mistakenly believed they would be richly rewarded by their god for doing this evil. The truth is, their god is evil. He is the father of lies. Today these men fully understand that they were deceived, but there are others who are still living in America and around the world who have bought into this lie. Christians, we need to stand on the Truth - hold fast to Jesus the Christ. We need to keep Him in our hearts so we don't hate, but we need to remove this evil from our nation. Pray for America. Pray for our pastors that they preach only God's true word. Pray that Christians will stand firmly upon God's word and not be caught offguard by the lies of Satan. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HIS girl Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I remember it clearly - it was my youngest son's 2nd birthday (Sept 12th in Aus) and we spent all day in front of the tv glued watching incomprehensable events unfolding via live news coverage. It's still unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stationed at FT Stewart I went into the office made coffee and was beginning the days work. FOX the station of choice was playing throughout the day as we did everyday. Sometime around 10 in the morning we put are coffees down to wathing a plane fly into the world trade center building. At first we thought this must be some sort of horrible accident. That was until the second plane hit, We all new that thing were going to change forever. Then when the pentegon was hit all I could think about was war. I left the biiulding that day around 11 pm with armed gaurds securing the building not just the HQ were I worked but everybuilding. Yes life changed after that, and we will never forget.

All of a sudden, there was a "break" in the news, that something had hit a building. That was the beginning of a very bad movie that never ended. I saw the first building burning, and a bit later, the second building being hit by a plane. From there was Washington and then Pennsylvania. The entire sequence of events still "seemed" like a bad movie, never ending. I guess I watched almost continously from that point for many days. That evening, there was a special prayer meeting at church. We all know the events for many months, the loss of so many lives, the changes in lives of those rescued and saved, the testimonies of many Christians and their impact on victims of that terrible day. On Friday, September 14th, 2001, after watching a "Memorial", I developed a "Memory" bookmark, which I still make until this day. One side is The Pledge of Allegiance, and the other in memory of those that were lost. The changes in us shall remain (those in the USA). The tragedies of that day, impacted so many lives, and families, and many have not recovered emotionally. Remembering the victims whose lives were lost and their families on September 11th, 2001.

elizabetht Posted September 11, 2009 Group: Advanced Member Followers: 0 Topic Count: 1 Topics Per Day: 0.00 Content Count: 399 Content Per Day: 0.07 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/18/2008 Status: Offline Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) My husband woke me up just in time to see the second plane hit the second tower. I sat there in horror watching live; as the towers came down and I wondered; "how many lives Lord?" Horror gave way to outrage and I turned to my husband and said to him; "the world will never be the same after today." That evening I attended an emergency prayer meeting at my church; we were all so wounded and confused. My pastor stood up and with tears flowing he said; "today was a bad day...." I wept openly. I wept for the people who lost their lives, their loved ones, and our nation. The most bitter of my tears however, were over my own feelings of outrage and hate for those who perpetrated such evil. I was forced to confront myself in a way I had never had to before.....and I struggled. "Forgive them Father; for they know not what they do." That verse, it kept coming at me, and I didn't want to listen. I was so angry and bitter. Even now, I struggle with those feelings; and that verse comes back like an echo....."Forgive them Father; for they know not what they do." I whisper that to myself in an act of trust and submission.......as a mantra to protect my own soul from bitterness and hate. (sigh) Anyway, that is what I remember.
