Many people are telling their 911 stories. Mine is not that dramatic. I was at work, and someone called out that someone had run a plane into the World Trade Center. I didn’t think much of it, until I heard that the second tower had been hit, then the pentagon, then the towers collapsed, then a plane crashed in Pennsylvania.
I focused on my job most of the day. There was always melodrama at that facility, and concentrating on my duties helped to keep me sane. 091101 was roughly the halfway point of my seven year tenure at this place. There was an unfortunate association with a professional Jesus worshipper. After the extent of the damage became known, he shouted “ They are doing this for Allah”. He then prayed at his desk. After learning what a hateful loudmouth this man was, the spectacle of him praying was repulsive.

I became alienated from Jesus during these years. Once I had once been tolerant of Christians and Jesus, as one would be with an eccentric relative. I  came to loath the entire affair.I do not make excuses for Jesus. I hear of others who found comfort in religion during this difficult time, but that option was  not available for me.
