It was my grandmother who taught me to do that. I have since extended it to include overflying aircraft, regardless of their size. Several years ago, a small aircraft crashed in front of a nearby strip mall, killing the pilot who was on a mail run. Then came 9/11. To this day, each time I hear and/or see an aircraft, I say an Our Father for those on board.
They are.
My church’s morning Mass on 9-12-01 looked like a Sunday.

What a good idea. Thank you so much. Will do it.
**probably better than I dont.**
Have things been improved for you? Hopefully.
Have I found a new church home? No I haven’t. The small church that I enjoyed so much was where our weekend house was and we sold that house. In Houston all the churches around me are huge and I don’t seem to find the one that suits me. I go church shopping every so often and one of these days, with Gods help, I’ll find it. In the mean time I say my prayers and thank God for all my blessings.
This year, Father Nobiletti, a Buddhist monk and an Episcopal priest will lead an interfaith community memorial service
I'm confused now. Did he leave The Church?
That ecumenania thing again.
I also do look at passengers when I get on an aircraft.
If I see anything that looks suspicious I will not hesitate to act. I suspect most feel that way today.
I didn’t have a church then.
But since Friday was a “Day of Prayer” for the nation, I went to a Lutheran (my denomination) church near work at lunch time for their special service. I don’t know how their church normally is, but it was a decent-sized church with maybe 1/2 to 3/4 full.
