Cross Purposes

Summary

Where were you on the morning of 9/11—that is, if you were born and are old enough to remember?

I was pastoring the Toledo Mennonite Church at the time. That morning I was in a pastors’ meeting at a restaurant on the edge of Pettisville, OH. One of the owners interrupted our meeting to tell us a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers. We didn’t think much of it. Then she came back later and said the other Tower had been hit by a plane. Then we knew something big was up and we disbanded our meeting. I went home and pretty much sat in front of the TV the rest of the day.
