today

Today is the day that everyone talks about September 11th and the tragedy that happened on that day. I was thinking about 2001 today and what I experienced in that year, at that time, on this day. Being out in Philadelphia at that time was so surreal. Everyone knew someone who had been hurt, or maybe their relative did not go to work that day for some strange reason. We all needed to feel involved and affected so much. I'm not trying to make any more of a statement than that. Today I tried to just be sure I still felt affected by it, that I didn't discount the oddness of that time for me.

Jon and I are going to meet with a couple from a new church we've been attending. This couple along with another are starting a church in March. Jon and I feel very strongly that we would like to be a part of that church plant. So, needless to say I'm pretty excited about this dinner.

So now Jon's talking to me non-stop about Christmas presents...guess it's time to cut this short. Yes, that's right...I said Christmas presents.

Peace all. Deck the halls.
