Remembering.

It's hard to believe that it has already been 9 years.

This morning I felt really compelled to watch some of the footage captured on September 11th. I guess I just really wanted to make sure I never forget the significance of this day, or how many lives were lost. What really got me was a tape of a woman who was a flight attendant named Betty Ong on flight 11. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to actually be in the midst of it all and trapped in a plane. It was even harder though to think that she didn't survive, and the pain that her family must have gone through.
Tonight, my family and I will be attending an amazing event at Calvary Chapel of Chino Hills. They are calling it a "9/11 Memorial" to remember this day and honor our service men for continuing to fight for our freedom. Brigitte Gabriel will be speaking also. She is a New York times best selling author of the book Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America. I think it will be fascinating to hear about her experiences and her views.

Hopefully you also are not forgetting to remember today. It's too important to forget.
