It really happened. Waking up on Wednesday, that was the first thought of the day. Two days ago such an event would have seemed suitable only for a James Bond film plot.
Already endlessly repeated, the images of the collapse of the World Trade Center are burned into our memories, a symbol of the impotence of commercial and economic might in the face of determined attack Everything is different now.
On September 11 2001, the World Trade Center was destroyed. The Pentagon The Pentagon is the five-sided headquarters building of the U.S. Department of
Defense in Arlington, Va., across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.It covers an area of 11.74 hectares (29 acres) and is one of the largest office buildings in the world. It consists of five concentric pentagons around a center courtyard.
The Pentagon was built by U.S. Army engineers from 1941 to 1943. It was built to bring all of the offices of what was then the Department of War together in one building. The Pentagon now contains the offices for the departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and for the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The name Pentagon is also popularly applied to the Department of Defense itself.
The building is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and has three times the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York. The National Capitol could fit into any one of the five wedge-shaped sections.
The Pentagon is virtually a city in itself. Approximately 23,000 employees, both military and civilian, contribute to the planning and execution of the defense of our country. These people arrive daily from Washington, D.C., and its suburbs over approximately 30 miles of access highways, including express bus lanes and one of the newest subway systems in our country.
Terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners Tuesday and crashed two into the World Trade Center in New York and another into the Pentagon in Washington D.C., killing what is estimated to be thousands of civilians. The attacks are being described as the greatest catastrophe on American soil since Pearl Harbor nearly 60 years ago and the world’s worst-ever terrorist strike.
My heartfelt condolences go to those who have lost family and friends in this cowardly act. My thanks go to those who help us recover and who protect us and our ideals. Must See!
Have your tissues ready.

Thank you Dino!Prayer for Peace
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who said to Your Apostles: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you," regard not my sins but the faith of Your Church, and deign to give her peace and unity according to Your Will: Who live and reign, God, world without end. Amen. Christian Prayer for Peace "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be known as Children of God. But I say to you that hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you. to those who strike you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from those who take away your cloak, do not withhold your coat as well. Give to everyone who begs from you, and of those who take away your goods, do not ask for them again. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them."
Dear Heavenly Father, We are moved by the alarming news and crisis that our country is facing.

Please have mercy on those suffering, hurting and in fear, and give wisdom & strength to those who are assisting. May the forces of evil be broken by your power and may we humble before thee, our strength and refuge.Give wisdom to all our President & our leaders and bring your Comforting peace through the power of your Holy Spirit. Help us here to reach to those that have been affected by this tragedy.
In the name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. AMEN
Lord, I pray for our country right now, that everyone would feel your presence and your comfort and that they would know that even in the chaos and the unknown, that you are in control of each of our lives and that you love us all. We are all in so much shock, Lord, and our lives have been shaken though we are not actually physically at the places that have been devastated. Help us each to find comfort in you and help us to feel your presence as we learn more and more details as the hours and days go by. Be with the victims, the emergency personnel, and our leaders in government. Guide them, strengthen them, and comfort them as they continue to face the horror of this tragedy. I pray this all in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen. I Said a Prayer for you I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although I heard no word.I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind.)
I asked to send you treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.I asked that God be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small,
But it was God's loving care for you
That I prayed for most of all.Prayer for World Peace
