Reflecting on[ 911] Sixteen Years Later



 


What was I doing when the Twin Towers was bombed on Sept.11, 2011?
 I was working the night shift at the Frederick Mail Facility in Frederick,Maryland. The shift had just ended and I was processing paperwork to report on the tour's performance; when I heard the awful news of the airplane crashing into the Twin Towers. I was numb. I thought about my mom and other family members who live in New York. I wondered were they okay. The telephone lines were down. The cell phones were not working due to the extensive calls being made to check on family and friends My son at the time was stationed in Iraq. My daughter-in-law was pregnant with our first granddaughter Mya. My heart is pounding and I am crying for those that lost their lives in the bombing. I remember feeling helpless. The only way that I knew how to help was to pray.


Today sixteen years later, I give thanks to God for sparing so many lives that could have been lost  I thank God for my granddaughter who will be sixteen in December. I share the story of 911 with her since this was a major event that happened in the year that she was born. I am so thankful to God for showing us mercy and grace. We were put on notice by this[ horrific catastrophic] event that changed our whole world. and taught us to stop and pay closer  attention to the world around us. That day for me, felt like the world just stood still in awe of what just had happened. I could not believe that someone would want to hurt us so badly. However, we took  that notice and began to defend our freedom; the freedom that we took for granted. We collected ourselves, we took stock and prepared to defend what was precious to us[OurFreedom].We did stop. We stopped to comfort and console each other. We remember that we are human beings wanting to live in peace and harmony with our neighbors



Remembering the fallen. People helping people. God Bless America! As you remember 911, tell someone that you love them.

Burning Paper Outside- What could Possibilty go Wrong?

How many of you dispose of unwanted things, especially unwanted newspapers, old documents, and unwanted mail? What method do you use to get rid of all that junk? Do you recycle? Do you shred it or do you burn it? Well, I decided to burn all of my junk especially the paper material. For months, I had been collecting all of my unwanted mail, paper bags, old documents that I found while cleaning out my garage. By now, I had a total of one basket and five boxes full of paper material. It's time to burn it all. It's a beautiful Saturday morning in January. I have been around the house cleaning and mapping out my plans for the day. It's about 10 a.m. in the morning on Saturday, I went to the hardware store to purchase a trash can for burning paper. This can is galvanized that has holes in the sides to let the smoke out. I placed the can several feet from the house in event of a fire. I went back to the house to start gathering the paper for the fire. I placed some ...
