This morning in the car as big Tina and I were driving to work we heard President Bush come on the radio to make a speech remembering September 11th. It's hard to believe that it has already been one year. I remember so clearly where I was on that morning a year ago. Physically and just personally; how I felt; who I was... And now it seems that so many things have changed. I think that as individuals, people have seen much personal growth. Maybe it takes such a tragic event to shake things up and lead us to examine what is really important in our lives. Like Keith said at service last Sunday, God whispers to us in times of pleasure, speaks to us in ordinary times, and screams at us in our hardships. It really does seem that tragedies like September 11th bring people together and closer to God. We are in such need of healing, as individuals, as a nation, and this entire world. I really pray that things are going to get better. I know that is pretty vague... it's just so hard to see all this hurt and pain in the world, and so daunting compared to just one little person. But it is also comforting to be secure in God, to know that there is nothing he can't do. God is so awesome!

update on my sniffly-status: This is a much better morning. I am feeling still a little sniffly but nothing compared to the past couple of days. So that is good. Plus there were no drugs involved so that is doubly good.

update on my work-status: now I hear that 115 folders for LA need to be stuffed and ready to be shipped by Friday. Hahahahhaaa! *groan* Well, better get to it...
