Where were you? I was in Statesboro, in my final year of school.  Driving to my apartment that faithful  morning to get ready for class.  I listened on the radio as Tower 2 was struck and the remainder of the day was spent glued to the television.  The most vivid reruns of desperate victims jumping from the tops of the towers.  The soot covered rescuers, the exhaustion even in the eyes of rescue dogs.

As I remember that day today, what I pray for is for a country who came together that day as one.  The politics aside, the religion aside, the differences aside and we became one.  Why, in only one day of tragedy, could we come together for the betterment and strength of our nation.  Why not today?  Why not everyday?

It is unreal to me that we already have children in our grade schools who will never know the feeling of that morning.  Crazy how quickly the time passes.  Help them remember we are a nation of one.

My thought for myself today?
I want to give more.  I want to do more.  I want to BE more.  How will you be remembered in lives of those you touch.
Galatians 5:22-23

New International Version (NIV)²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Disappointment...

I usually try to be upbeat and positive, but I just have to say today I am angry! I am angry this stinking blog is so much more difficult than I expected! ;)

First off, how has it been 2 MONTHS since I last wrote? Impossible.
Second, how do others make it seem so simple?
Lastly, well... I don't know what else.

I began this blog to journal my first year in Birmingham.  To share my witty thoughts, my bad days, my really good days, etc.  But then I lose track of time, I don't sound as witty as I thought, the blogs are too personal for the world to read.

To all of you who blog on a regular basis and say the things others love to read, KUDOS to you! And I am glad you do because I love to read them.

For me, I will continue to make the effort.  To tell what I remember and pray my thoughts and feelings ooze out of my finger tips as the months go on!

I hope you all have a wonderful week and maybe I will remember to write before Christmas
