Remembering 9-11



Today marks the 10th anniversary of the murder of thousands of people at the World Trade Center in New York City. My brother and I had visited New York City and admired the Twin Towers just seven months before. These are some of the articles I have written about 9-11 since then.

The Songs of September 11

Following the 9-11 terrorist attack, several Christian artists put their thoughts and faith into words and produced some noteworthy songs including:

 
Do Not Forget...Living without liberty is not living.
 I sat in a movie theater, watching "Private Ryan" and asked myself, "Where did they find the courage?"
Now I know.

Choking on Honey: What to Do

Choking on honey: What to do Honey is a thick, viscous fluid which can become trapped in a person's airway. While there are many articles written about using honey to remove obstructions from the throat, there is not much, if anything, written about what to do if someone is choking on honey. I had an experience where I was choking on honey and called the paramedics. I couldn't even speak by the time I had someone on the phone. By the time the paramedics arrived, the honey had dissolved enough for me to begin gasping for air.  The main thing is to NOT PANIC and not inhale it deeper while it is thick. Honey will slowly dissolve and thin out.

I wouldn't choose to do it, so my comments should be viewed knowing I realize I could not do what these people have done. In addition, I am aware that most of the action and dialogue takes place off camera. All my impressions are compliments of a cameraman and a film editor and the scenes they chose to share.

Every girl comes up against them in elementary school. They become a force to be reckoned with in junior high and have usually become more sophisticated and somewhat nicer in high school. Even boys know their wrath, but the cruelties of Mean Girls are normally reserved for other girls. Not so on...
