Remembering 9-11-01

by Kay Heitsch
As with most of you I well remember 9-11-01. It started out a 'normal day.'  Bill was working at Financial Plus (formally West Side Auto Crédit Union) as a Financial Adviser. He left for work at his usual time.
As soon as Bill got word about the Twin Towers he came home. We both sat and stared at the TV in disbelief. It had only been a couple of years earlier that Bill had taken his training in those Twin Towers with Dean Witter. He knew those buildings and felt a connection with the people in them.
It was a very sad day, but I also noticed how people came together and were willing to help complete strangers. I saw people praying without worrying if anyone objected. As bad as it was you could see love manifested in many ways.
The Bible text "Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good." Romans 12:21 stood out in my mind as I watched people overcome evil with good that day.
God Bless America!
