Still remember....

I'm still reading along in John...

Still have lots to share & think about...

But today, it just doesn't feel right to do anything but post on September 11...

A day in history that is just known by the date...

Not "Pearl Harbor Day" - not "Kennedy Shot" - not "Hurricane Katrina"

but an event only known as 9/11...

I am amazed there is a generation coming up now that really doesn't understand what happened...
& that's sad to me

I've spoken with some of the kids in our youth group before & they don't have a clue...

yeah, they know what happened... but just the basic info that they probably heard in school or from reading a book...

they don't know the shock of seeing the events play out live on tv
they don't know the fear that was felt around the country the days following
they don't know the heartache of so many people in our country dying on our soil

....maybe that's a blessing they don't know...

but we still remember

*Yep, I know it says 10 yrs...

  1. In a way, it is a blessing that they don't know the terror of that day... shoot, Michael wasn't even born yet! But I think that they need to be taught about it, not sheltered from it, because if we don't teach them, then it WILL happen again in their lifetime. We can never let our guard down, because EVIL is still outside the door, just waiting for the chance to pounce again. Horrific acts like this happen daily all around the world, and many think that the US is exempt... they've already forgotten the events of 9/11!!! And to me... that is just sad!

  2. It's crazy that people that born after that date will learn about it in their history class, and it is something that we actually went through.

  3. It certainly is a day I don't think any of us will ever forget...I know I won't. I don't know why, but as I watched the events unfold on that fateful day, I wish I had recorded it on our VCR. I've thought of that many times over, but I think I was just in so much shock that it never even crossed my mind.
