As you know, today is September 11th. Today is an anniversary. Anniversaries take many different shapes and styles and are celebrated or remembered in different ways. My husband and I celebrate a wedding anniversary and (usually) do something special. I celebrate my official hire date at my real job. Our former pastor celebrates an anniversary - his cancer anniversary - with his family (they go to Florida to celebrate).
The musician, Alan Jackson, has a song called "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" - I couldn't find an official video of the song, but if you haven't heard it, it really does place things in perspective. Spend time with those you love. There are a number of memorials planned today throughout the country. Sometimes we forget what is really important...
**UPDATE: Although I couldn't locate an official video of his song, I did find an interview he did when he discussed this song.
I do have homework today (blech!), but we will also be celebrating with family. Our son was born shortly after September 11th. How many of us re-centered our lives after September 11th? I remember going to church the evening of September 11th to pray with friends and my church family. The churches were packed right after that day.

I did find a video with Lee Greenwood singing at the Grand Ole Opry. It is part of an official video from Opryland. This was a live performance. Hope you enjoy the words and sentiment behind them...
God Bless the USA!
