There is something that I dont understand and it makes me really mad. I am one of those people that really likes our President. September 11, 2001 was a really hard day for me. Horrible for the people involoved and rough on me. I was at work when it happened....listening to my morning show mention a plane hit the Trade Center. At first I thought it was just like a little personal plane and someone got too close and hit the building....then they saw they other plane hit the 2nd tower and were SHOCKED! My whole unit turned on their tv's and radios...and we all couldnt believe it. Such a scary day. They even let us go home from work.....and they NEVER close this place. Going down the staircase in my building just 8 floors took us soooo long. I cant imagine what it was like for the people in the towers. I live by Metro Airport and there was like NO SOUND for the next couple days over head. I never realized how many planes I would hear or see everyday and then there was NONE. I was so surprised at how affected I was this day. I cried alot. I was worried for this country. I love America. I am such a patriot. I love the military and deeply care for all that serve. I couldnt wait to hear what the President was gonna say that day. I waited by the TV and longed to hear from him. Days after, I watched everything he said and needed to hear him speak. But right now....I am mad at George. I dont know alot and I am sure there is more to know....but I dont want us to be in Iraq anymore. I hate that the borders are sooo open and not guarded. I hate that there doesnt seem to be enough being done to care for our soldiers or the safety of people here in America. I hate that illegal aliens are just allowed to live here and not go through the correct procedures to be citizens. I dont care if they immigrate here but they need to be legal. I hate having to pay for illegal immigrant's health care and pay higher taxes while they pay NONE. And the thing that I hate more then anything right now....is to hear the President give all this money to Lebanon to rebuild....while people that live in this country where hurricane Katrina hit....still dont have homes and havent been cared for like they ought to be. I understand "we" want to be the good guys for other countries....but what about the people that live here? What about protecting America? What about honoring and caring for those who give their lives daily for us and the families that loose loved ones because of all this? I love America but I am REALLY struggling to love what we are doing here. I mean look at how we fly that pedifile home from Bangkok first class and feed him better then most people eat daily and take care of him like a person of honor? He is not a celebrity. He hurts kids....takes advantage of them. What are we thinking America? Oh God helps us. And help me to release this to you....help me to love those around me more than I love myself and help me to PRAY FOR AMERICA. I love this place and I am so thankful to live here. My heart just hurts about all this.

**Please note....I know this is a different entry than everyone is used to (and may sound mean) but I had to get this off my chest. :) Thanks for listening and remember to join me in praying for the U.S.A. and George W. Bush.

Hear our prayer, oh Lord God Almighty, Come Bless our land as we seek you, worship you. (Blessed by Hillsong)
