On every network, at every church, at schools and even at work, there were remembrances of the tragedy that happened on 9/11. I really didn’t want to watch any of the programming on TV because I know how emotional I can get. But I could not tear myself away from a program on NBC that remembered Flight 93 and the heroes on board.

What really struck me was the stories of the family and friends of the passengers on board that received phone calls from the plane. Two wives mentioned how business-like their husbands were when they called. The men were told of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks and said “We have to do something.”

Some women on board called their husbands and left messages of love to their families.

It made me think, what would I do? Would I rise to the occasion and be brave? Would I be able to calmly call my husband to tell him how much I loved him? OR, what if it was my husband on board? Would I be able to give him the support he needed as he did his patriotic duty? Would I be brave afterward like so many of the survivors?

I pray that I never get answers to these questions. I pray for the souls of those that want to kill in the name of their god. I pray that they come to know THE GOD that is all about love and forgiveness.
