#21 No Terror In Heart, Or Mind!
Last Friday we all reflected on the events of 9/11, 14 years ago. It was unavoidable, if you turned on a television, radio or looked at social media. And that is a very good thing! I for one mean it when echoing the sentiment, “We must never forget.” For many of my generation, 9/11/2001 was…
