Remembering 9.11.01

I am trying to work, but images of that morning haunt me and still do great violence to my soul. The thought of children who lost their Daddies or Mommies, parents who lost their children, God’s children who lost siblings, friends, and associates . . . it all makes me sad. I think I am [...]
