So Incredibly Close, So Incredibly Painful

Continental Flight 3407 crashed a week ago.
It went down about 15 minutes from my house.
It went down around a thousand feet from my church.
It's taken me a week to get the stomach to write about this accident.

It's unbelievable how different a disaster like this is when it happens in your neighborhood. Especially in Western New York and Clarence Center. Smalltown USA. Everyone knows someone who knows someone that was lost. Everyone knows someone who knows a first responder that has worked for a week to get things cleaned up. Thank you to all who helped make this tragedy a little less difficult for someone.

Please say a prayer for all the victims and their families.
