Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?

These songs were on every radio station this morning. One was my actual post on Facebook. 

Its all over the media and social media this morning (9/11/2013)   9*11

This many years later and everyone can talk about the time standing still, going in slow motion yet flying so fast that day.   I had just left my Senior English class, walked to the "new building" into my US History/Government class. The bell hadn't even rung yet when they came over our intercom and the entire school and staff had a moment of silence. Heads bowed. Prayers and fears voiced.  The tvs were on as we watched the 2nd Plane into the 2nd tower.   Seniors in high school watching history be made for our children's school history books.  We were old enough to understand what was going on. Some of us were old enough to sign papers and go serve. At our 10 year reunion we did have about 5 that had served since graduation.   

I have never been much into politics, or really history, or any government guru,  but I do know that GOD is the only answer for our country.  So many of them have gotten away from that and have gotten our country in the shape it is in.  It scares me daily what my boys will have to grow up in. Drugs, gangs, violence, abductions, murders, suicides, are happening every single day even in the "it doesn't happen here small towns".   I pray all the time for them to grow healthy and safely physically and spiritually. 

I have watched the movies made about that day. Chills. Fears. Tears. Prayers. Silence. You can only hope and pray you never have to face a day like that again. You can only be thankful if you wasn't physically affected that you 'survived' that day.  You can only hope and pray that our president gets back to God and leads our country and people the way he should and not continue the way he has been.  You can only hope and pray that no one forgets the lives lost, the lives gave.      Where were you when the world stopped turning??   And have you forgotten???
