Thanks be to God. At the same time, there is this nagging sense that the world is not quite the same in light of our September 11th tragedy, a day that will be remembered by us all forever. On that day, a sense of our own vulnerability came crashing down on us, reminding us that we are a part of a broader world community, and there is some 'bad stuff ' out there. How easy it would be to stay in bed, pull the covers over our head, and hope the trouble will go away. If only that could work.
