Tuesday mornings, you can normally find me studying and working intently as I prepare for the coming Sunday’s message. On Sept. 11, 2001, I was busy writing when our secretary rang me and said, “An airplane just crashed into the World Trade Center.”
Immediately I turned the radio on and tuned in to breaking news. Drawn into the coverage, I totally lost my focus and paused my preparation. When the plane hit the second tower, I suddenly sensed I needed to go home and be with my wife. I listened to the dreadful news as I drove, and when I arrived home, she had no idea what was happening.
