I was on my way to work that day and heard about the first plane hitting. I was at work and heard about the second one. We had trouble getting any kind of news, the internet was overwhelmed.
In my office, my coworkers went to prayer service on their lunch time. The director got angry about that, said this tragedy was none of our business. My coworkers were in trouble over that.
We lit candles in my neighborhood, on our front porches that night.
My church ignored the whole thing, none of our business I guess. I complained about that attitude, we could at least pray for people. My husband led prayers for those lost when no one else would.
We found out three weeks later that my husband's cousin was killed in the Pentagon. It took a while to find his body. The highest ranking officer killed there, I was told.
I am confused as to why the Director would complain that your co-workers went to a prayer meeting during their lunch hour - it was not as if they took time off work.
I am surprised that your church ignored it as well I would have thought they would have at least prayed for the families that lost loved ones.
Sorry to hear about your cousin it must have be awful waiting all those weeks for confirmation he had died.
wow hoosierpearl, how are you so "sane" when it seems you are surrounded by such sick people (your hubby obviously excluded)
Sad stories there. People have a chance to love & shine & instead they act like jerks
