What happened that day was not his doing. It was plain evil. It was man's doing. God only allowed it for some reason. Other than that, I like your comment.Roy Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769040227897149560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453924994209545783.post-42412197048884875762010-09-11T18:19:58.808-05:002010-09-11T18:19:58.808-05:00Nine years ago that morning of 9/11, I was the fir...Nine years ago that morning of 9/11, I was the first person to come in of our department at work. 2 big screen TV sets were broadcasting live what was happening.One in the conference room and one in the breakroom where I was headed to put on the coffee.I stood paralyzed. It didn't seem real, surreal was the word. Here in America? When my mind and heart connected to my sight, all I could do was extend both hand palms spread toward the TV praying aloud, words coming forth from deep with and then there was more. I soon realized, there were other voices too,joining in prayers, beside & behind me as each employee came in.... and then our families came to each of us, We took turns to go to our offices/cubicles & called our families, emailed, faxed. But we keep going back to the conference & break rooms, somehow there's the safety in numbers. We each felt so vulnerable,& exposed. The president of the company announced we could take off, those with young children went home, some f us with families at work or away in college opted to stay to huddle in prayers, call our prayer chains, our ministers.. If we who are on the other side of the U.S were feeling lost, how much more to those who are in New York, DC, those we are seeing on TV& the ones on flight 93? But God was there, everywhere... in the smoke, in the fire... in the plane... amongst us.... and will always be. We were hugging each other, were openly crying and saying God bless you, respecting each other, there was no director, manager, engineer, new employee,etc, we were persons, feeling the same mixed emotions, and openly acknowledging our God who alone can make such horrible terror happening before our eyes be something like His Easter morn!Mary Batong Cadwisinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503908522124962122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453924994209545783.post-23829800479129453842010-09-11T13:22:19.659-05:002010-09-11T13:22:19.659-05:00proud of you kailyan nay ayy idwanni ak lang ay ma...proud of you kailyan nay ayy idwanni ak lang ay maamuan ..keep it up...matagu tagu takko am-in....badecao and son'snoreply@blogger.com
