One year after 911
Today on TV, there was endless coverage of 911. During training, in our room in Bel Air Presbyterian looking out over the valley, we saw a formation of prop planes pulling four American flags and a banner saying, “United we Stand”. Our host, Bonnie, was watching CNN early in the morning and even as we left the house. We thought, perhaps traffic would be lighter with many people staying home, however, it was just as bad other days.
Our evening was light – we had take-out pizza from Shakey’s and then watched the CBS documentary. I observed that the images of the planes hitting the towers and the sounds made by people hitting the ground after jumping out of the towers continue to sear into the minds of people watching, ripping into their psyche – still.
Bel Air Presbyterian Church held their 911 memorial service. Our team decided not to go, but instead to spend the time together at our host’s home.
Hopefully people are starting to heal, and that God will show His glory through this time.
