Remembering

Do you remember where you were 8 years ago today?  When I was growing up, I always remember hearing people say that they remembered where they were when they heard about Pearl Harbor or the death of President Kennedy.  I never really got it until September 11, 2001.  I was in chapel when one of the teachers came up to announce that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.  At that point, we all thought it was some horrible accident.  And as I sat there watching news during whatever classes I could, I thought, “This is what they meant when they said, ‘I remember where I was…’”.  I know that I’ll never forget.
