On the morning of September 11, 2001, my six-year-old daughter snuggled next to me on the sofa. My nine-year-old daughter nestled in on my other side. I cherished these moments. Our easing into the mornings with Bible study and prayer were my favorite times.
However, even though we were enjoying our second year of homeschooling, I still struggled with doubts. Am I teaching them the right things? How long will I be able to do this? Will we survive being together all day, every day?
I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the moment. By the time, I finished reading to my girls; President George Bush also ended his reading to a class of second graders in Florida.
Shortly after that, my husband calls from his office
and tells me to turn on the television. I stand in shock of the images I’m
viewing. Both of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center are billowing black
smoke. Numerous sirens are blaring in the background. Anxious reporters are
dropping words of destruction--"hijacked,” “under attack, “and “acts of
terrorism.”
