Shortly after the Sept. 11 bombing I went to church. I had heard the night before about the defaming of the sign outside of the Lynnwood mosque. Father said that any of us who would like to show our support to the people of the church could do so that afternoon.
My friend and I decided to go and meet some of the people and we could feel their hurt. A mother passed us and thanked us for coming. She had two beautiful young children, Sarah and Muhammed. She said she was frightened.
The other night at my church, Father mentioned a phrase we’ve all heard – “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” He said that the terrorists were smart men and how wonderful it would have been if instead they chose to help their own people. Bin Laden could or should have done the same thing with his wealth. They all chose to kill innocent people in a horrible way. How sad. God bless us all and God bless our country.
