It was one of those moments where you'll never forget where you were at...what you were doing...how you first heard the news.
I was in Houston at a leadership gathering for Nazarene youth workers.
We dismissed the session with a time of prayer and went to our rooms to watch the footage...over and over...and wait for the fate of the second tower.
As horrible as that tragedy was, it's interesting to compare it to others across the globe which have claimed the same number of lives many times over. Natural disasters such as the Tsunami...the earthquake in China...the disaster of Myanmar. Not to mention the more criminal and morally inane acts of war and terrorism which claim dozens of lives on a daily basis in some parts of the world. The genocidal violence which has wiped out hundreds of thousands in Africa over the past two decades.
But for those who continue to suffer from the loss of husband, wife, father, mother, brother, sister, or friend...we remember in prayer today especially.
