It is an awesome thing to sit here, five years after this post below, and see again - just how God has worked in our lives personally. Our country has been through many changes, but regardless of any ups and downs, we have never been attacked again like we were on 9/11/01. I remember after that horrible morning, the feeling that most of us had, of another imminent tragedy of large proportion. The feelings of vulnerability and insecurity were overwhelming.
Here is my post from six years after the original attack, and my reflections on how my perspective about life changed, post 9/11. I am grateful that God has opened my focus up from mostly turned toward me, to others who are in need of hope, all around the world, and how He continues to sustain and comfort our family too, through trials. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. What comfort and peace there is in that fact.

Growing up, I often said "I wished I had a corner," meaning I wanted a little hideaway where I could get alone and just BE. It got to be kind of a joke in the family, but they understood what I meant - a spot just for me; to read, journal, garden, enjoy music, meditate on life, or pray. The "corner" I longed for wasn't even an actual place, but more, the opportunity to do those things I love. So, welcome and see what is going on in our family's corner!
