I remember it. It didn't really mean much to me at the time. I wasn't affected by it when I was thirteen. I came to respect President Bush and all high political offices. Because in hard times they had to bare the weight of the heaviest trouble, and rally the nation through grief to battle. Standing against evil no matter who would try to stand in the way. How came we only see the negative part of every battle? Is there not also an outcome of good in all our efforts? For what propose did we go in, if not to achieve what we set out to do? These (nonwar)people can not see beyond their own grief and selfish desires enough to support an army that is protecting the rights and freedoms they are now enjoying. They ridicule instead of encouraging, and hinder instead of helping as they should. Is this nation so blind as to hate the truth and stand against it?! Lord, I want to do my part. I may be only sixteen and terribly afraid , but I can not stand by and just watch. I will be on my knees while this nation is making history, because I know that I can make a difference in that at least.

Do We Need Reminding?

That picture makes me cry everytime I see it. I remember that day. All too well.
It makes me wonder why I'm in this earth a this point in time. What does my future hold? Am I being all that I can be and influencing the world and the people around me for the better? How does this puzzle fit together and who holds the last piece?
Where will it all end? and where will I end up? So many questions not enough answers.
Yesterday at church whenever anyone talked about a tragedy I thought of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but it seemed everyone was referring to Katrina and all the devistation there. In all the hurt where is the support for the familys that lost loved ones four years ago? I wondered 'why aren't we lifting up that hurt in prayer today?' Why?......
Well, that was a mouth full. I didn't mean to make you unhappy Mia.
I loves you
Yep. Amen.
Love you!
