Ten years ago I stood in the window at my office building in Newark looking into New York City. As the planes hit the towers my heart became full. Like everyone else I couldn't wrap my head or heart around the magnitude of what I was seeing. Years have gone by but I remember the exact moment our innocence was challenged and our lives would change forever. I will never forget that day.
Many lives were lost and many others were affected directly by this traumatic event. Tomorrow night at 7 pm., at the South Orange Performing Arts Center, I will be ministering at the 9/11 Commemoration lifting my voice in honor of the lives lost and touched on this day ten years ago. Ordinary people were brought together to experience an extraordinary time in our history. Heroes emerged and we came together as one making us stronger as each year passes.
I hope you'll be able to come to the candlelight vigil, which starts at 6:15 pm. and will be followed by guest speakers, clergy and music. If not, take a little time out to remember the heroes who lost their lives on that day. I will never forget them.
