Never forget

"Today, we gather to be reassured that God hears the lamenting and bitter weeping of Mother America because so many of her children are no more. Let us now seek that assurance in prayer for the healing of our grief stricken hearts, for the souls and sacred memory of those who have been lost. Let us also pray for divine wisdom as our leaders consider the necessary actions for national security, wisdom of the grace of God that as we act, we not become the evil we deplore."
- Rev. Nathan Baxter, Dean of Washington National Cathedral

"If the culprits are Muslim, they have twisted the teachings of Islam.
Whoever performed, or is behind, the terrorist attacks in the
United States of America does not represent Islam. God is not behind assassins."

--Muhammad Ali

For some reason, that day is still too fresh of a wound in my heart to fully discuss it in a blog. However, I thought these two quotes did an adequate job. I will never forget hearing my dad's voice on the phone, telling us he was safe. Thank God for that.
