9/11

such a tragic day in our countries history...i remember that i was at justin and nathans open house at nursery school on roll road...the director of the program came running in late 'because there was an airplane crash in new york and she wanted to make sure her son was ok.' little did we really know at 9:30am on that morning what the big tragic picture was about to unfold in front of us...i was pregnant with colin at the time (although i had not shared the news yet) and i could not help but think that i was bringing another child into this crazy world and that only through the grace of God could we as parents do this...i can not comprehend how anyone on this planet could intentionally want to kill or hurt another human being (yes, i actually stopped the lawn mower last week to wait for a toad to hop into the garden...file this under 'things i never thought i would do' catagory)...so on this day, may we pause and reflect on those who unknowingly died for our country on 9/11 and pray for those who are fighting now because of 9/11 for our country...peace.
