I was in my 2nd period high school history class. I walked in and the teacher said something like "anyone hear about a plane hitting one of the WTC towers ?". A couple of students said they heard something about it and thought they heard that it was a small plane. Well, the teacher turned on the radio. I even remember the station he put it on. 98.3 FM (A country station out of Logan, Ohio.). They had CNN radio playing and were talking about the 2nd plane that had just hit the other tower. Not long after that we heard about the plane hitting the Pentagon. The classroom was very quiet. I went to English next. The radio tuned into NPR in there. It was then I heard about Flight 93. I personally did not know what to do. I was stunned. I was not a believer then, But I did say a prayer at lunch. I remember one of the teachers saying "we are going to war boys". I was upset that they did not let us out of school earlier.

I got home around 3 that afternoon. My mother was silent looking at the tv. It was rough. Just a sick feeling that afternoon.

I watched it until I needed a break. I went for a ride with my uncle John. We stopped at a dairy queen to grab some ice cream. The words "pray for our nation" were posted on the sign outside.

I remember what a sunny beautiful evening that was. I got home just as President Bush came on tv. I was in tears when he quoted that verse from the bible. That was amazing.

I spent all night watching television with my mom. We did not have cable at that time so, so we were stuck watching Peter Jennings on ABC (yuck). I was such a terrible day.

I know that God put George W. Bush on the earth to be our President for that moment.

Thanks :) I was home recovering from surgery, and I turned on the television and it was about 7:45 am (CST), so I saw the whole thing. I was riveted to the set for the whole week after that day. It was surreal. I thought I was watching a movie, instead of real life.

yes, that day was awful in so many ways.

"I know that God put George W. Bush on the earth to be our President for that moment."

Excellent post.

When in Florida during the 2000 recount, I remember watching a bit of a televangelist I didn't know about who simply said that he wanted his parishoners and viewers to pray that whoever God needs to be President will be President.
