Enter Matt

Matt, my dear friend and "little brother" from the New Orleans trip has entered into a more key place in my journey.  As of today we are e-mailing and calling each other alot.   He makes me laugh, and not many people can do that.  It is good to add a little "bro" to the clan, now if only we can grow larger...  a family dies if it does not grow and expand.


Note to self: Bev and Deirdrea are so much alike in what they talk about are interested in, and their vocabulary, do not call them back to back, or even on the same day!  For the life of me, I couldn't keep straight who I was talking to... and I have known Deirdrea since her birth, and Bev since only I was 15.  But it is a relief to have gals to talk with, too. It is such a blessing to have good friends like Matt, Deirdrea, and Bev in my life!

SHOCK!

Nothing like this has happened since Pearl Harbor was attacked December 7th, 1941.  I am sitting here still in utter and complete shock at what has happened.  Mom and I were on the phone with Plymouth Plantation making orders so that the items would be here in time for the Thanksgiving season, when the lady told us to turn on the tv, because a plane had flown in to one of the Twin Towers.  I watched the other plane fly in and the towers come down... not only that but the attack on the Pentagon... what are we coming to?

I have had my prayer candle lit as I have watched and prayed.  Everything is closed.  The stores, the banks, they are talking of closing the road through McConnell Air Force Base.  Our branch of the WTC (wheat and airplanes) here in Wichita is on high alert.  They fear the airline industry will be forever changed.  What does that mean for me just preparing to go into the work force, living in the "Air Capital of the World"?

"God help us all!  I am scared, I am nervous.  I am fearful for those lost and those who may be suffering.  Help us.   Protect us.  Don't let anything else harm us this way soon!  Amen."
