Prayer is very powerful. I couldn't survive without it. As much as I wanted to hide under the bed after 9/11, I picked myself up on 9/12 and went back to the city. We can never let them win. But I believe they are very patient and waiting for that opportunity. The saddest part to me is that our children will never know life in the USA as we knew it.

You are a good, strong person freeperfromnj.
You said in part, "We can never let them win. But I believe they are very patient and waiting for that opportunity."
I agree.
Even though I grew-up in the 70's & 80's, the changes make it feel like it was fifty years ago. We would run and play in acres of woods behind our home for hours on end, with our siblings and friends. Our only requirement was to be home in time for dinner. Your parents always told you to beware of strangers. But no one I knew had ever been approached. Sadly, my sons will never have that same freedom. When we walk through the woods, they always have my husband or myself with them.
And the way that everything is changing around the world, I don't think that they will ever experience a time when terrorism and the shadow of threats doesn't exist.
