Certianly since our government is not letting us pray at ground zero, it is a attack on freedom itself!

Here in Australia that day was full of shock and disbelief. Tonight I am watching footage from that tragic day. Ten years has not lessened my sadness for the thousands of lives lost, the thousands of families effected, and the millions of Americans that have lived with a different sense of safety in their own country.

My thoughts are with you on this day- with the families and friends of those who lost their lives on that tragic day, and a hope for the future that never again is such a senseless act of terrorism ever conducted on the soil of your country.

I don't remember a thing from that day, but that's because I was a toddler. My mom told me I watching Barney with my sister in one room, and she was watching the news in other room. She didn't want us to see it and be scared.

Yeah,------------what mfb said. After you have lived through various apocalypses, you'll see that being prepared without fear for continuances’ makes things all better.

To put it in simple analogies: Suppose you get a flat tire on a rural road and you don’t have a working cell phone or other communication. If you don’t have a spare tire or tire repair kit---it’s a catastrophe. If you’re prepared, it’s just an inconvenient delay while you deal with the problem.

A while back, we had a power outage that lasted a couple days. I fired up the kerosene lanterns, cooked on the camp stove, heated water for washing, and entertained the kids with hand shadow puppets. For the kids, it was an adventure. Had we not been prepared, the kids might have remembered the occasion as an emergency with hardship.

There are disasters going on all the time all over the world, prior to modern media, you never knew it until months later if at all.

Don’t worry, be happy. Deal with life as it happens.

We stood up afterwards, as one nation under God! It was an amazing moment there, and a scary one too!
