Two years ago this morning is one of those times that will be forever etched in our hearts and souls. The shock and numbness of what was happening before out eyes, the panic and fear in our hearts, and the dread and uncertainty of what life would be like in the future.
I remember wondering what our lives were going to be like in the 'new world war' that had surely started that fateful morning. What was life going to be like now that a true, full-fledged war had begun?
I remember thinking how each of the prior terrorist attacks were each larger that the one prior. It followed to reason, that the next attack would be larger still and would surely cost tens of thousands, if not millions, of lives. And I remember the hopelessness in feeling that there was little that we could do to stop it.
Well…………….Praise God for George W. Bush, it has been two full years since the last attack, a longer time that could have ever been expected. Our president has proved once again “that the best defense is a good offense” (and he has been about as 'offensive' as he could be LOL).
While it is still very possible, even likely, that a new attack will occur, every day that passes decreases the odds and increases the thanks and gratitude that we owe to our president.
