7 Years ago today...

• My marriage was a little over a month old.
• I was working at Liberty Baptist Church.
• I still had one college class left to take. I crammed 4 years of college into 6 (working full time at a church will do that to you).
• My favorite band was dc talk.
• I had never heard of Chipotle...my favorite restaurant!
• I wore a suit to church.
• I was at the Dr. because I was urinating blood and they didn't know why.
• I was feeling sorry for myself because the Dr. was poking and prodding me in ways no grown man should experience. I still shudder when I think about it.
• I heard an announcement over the loud speaker at the Dr. that the World Trade Center was hit by a plane.
• By the time I got to work they announced it was a terrorist attack and the the Pentagon was attacked as well.
• I watched on TV as the World Trade Center buildings fell.
• Everyone was sent home from work to spend time with their family.
• I ate Taco Bell for lunch and had the Chicken Quesadilla for the first time.
• Jamey Menser and I watched the news for hours.
• At the end of the day I didn't feel so sorry for myself. God taught me a lesson that day that every day is a gift from Him. Even when things aren't going my way I should be thankful for the life God gives me.
• They never found out why I was urinating blood. I think I experienced a miracle because I haven't since.
• Today I'm thankful for my country! I love America! 9/11 was a horrible day in the history of America, but it every year the anniversary comes around it makes me thank God for the country we live in.
