I had a very dear friend question my faith in God right after the

terrorist attack on America. Her question was simply put, "Where

is your God today?" She was very hurt, as all Americans were, so

I tried not to react defensively.

Since that moment I have prayed and grieved over the disastrous

events. However, I believe I have the answer.

I know where my God was the morning of September 11, 2001! 

from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over

1,000 passengers and there were only 266 aboard. He was on 4

commercial flights giving terrified passengers the ability to

stay calm. Not one of the family members who was called by a

loved one on one of the highjacked planes said that passengers

were screaming in the background. On one of the flights he was

giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the highjackers.

He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees at the World

Trade Center. After all only around 20,000 were at the towers

when the first jet hit. Since the buildings hold over 50,000

workers, this was a miracle in itself. How many of the people

who were employed at the WTC told the media that they were late

for work or they had traffic delays.

He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of the

workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top of the

towers didn't topple when the jets impacted. Although this is

without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I can see

God's miracles in every bit of it. I can't imagine going through

such a difficult time and not believing in God. Life would be

hopeless.

Another thought: CNN said that if the twin towers had fallen to

their side toward the water, they would have taken an additional

50 bldgs with them.  How many more lives would have been 

taken if this had happened?
