9/11 10 years on...


10 years ago, i was glued to the tv in GCTC as i watched the events unfold. same time 10 years later, glued to the tv watching memorial events. praying for the healing of a nation's soul and the release from the grip of trauma and terror.

10 years ago, i was undergoing training in my full time ministry career. was in GCTC (great commission training centre). i felt i wanted to watch some tv after dinner... was there at 8plus pm (8 plus am in NY) when the news (a plane crashed into NY world trade centre) interrupted whatever was airing on channel 5 then. then watched live as the 2nd plane crashed as well as when both towers came crashing down. 

10 years on... was told today that i will be my church's youth pastor. back in "full time ministry" part time now. 

one reporter was saying on tv that we tend to measure our lives in 10 years - 10, 20, 30 years old... pretty true. how far i've come. 10 years went by... pretty fast. was a good 10 years. 

watched the porgramme featuring audio recordings of the victims leaving last words to their loved ones... we dont need to wait for such a time to our loved ones how much we love them.
