never forget

{photo from national geographic here}

i can't believe it has been 10 years.

i can remember the first time i learned about the twin towers.
i was ten, and on my way to new york city with my family.
my grammy leaned over to look out the window of the plane
and said to me, "look, there are the twin towers."

i can remember being in awe of the matching giants.

the next time i heard about the twin towers was
from ms. shaughnessy, my drama teacher,
as the world froze in horror on 9/11.

we have been watching all of the specials this weekend
and really taking in all of the perspectives
from that day.

if you watched the memorial service,
you may have noticed
mayor rudy giuliani's speech.
he quotes ecclesiastes 3,
for which our blog is themed.

i hope you've been able to take in some of the media today
and really reflect on that day.

andy stanley at northpoint church spoke today about
our leaders remembering our country's motto:
in God we trust.
a great reminder on this day.
listen here and be sure to check out the entire series.
it is really good!
