Remembering September 11, 2001 Today and Always

news-2On this day we remember 14 years ago the events of September 11, 2001 and how it changed our lives forever. We should never forget those who were lost of all races, nations, religions. People were going to work to make their lives better and support their families. Let us never be afraid of those who come to harm us. Let us be in community with those who foster peace, love and reconciliation. Today should be a day of honoring the survivors, mourning the dead and thankful for those who have and continue to keep us safe. Be with the people of New York City, Shanksville, PA and Washington DC as well as our nation and the world. Let there be peace on Earth.

Let us remember that day in American history today and always.

A Ramble About Vacation

The thing about vacation is that it goes by way too fast. You look forward to it for weeks then it comes and goes very quickly. The memories of being away help you in times when you need something to get you by. You are changed by your experience and its something that you can hope to repeat again in a new way in the future.
