Lucy was pretty hot, as usual, in Lucky number Sleven. The movie wasn’t so hot though.

It is very difficult to put my head around the number. Almost 3000 people. In some aspects it seems a trifling number compared to stadiums, The Million Man March, Woodstock, Auschwitz and other places were there were thousands of people.
Then other times I think of the vast number of people that died. Six times more than work in my building at work. Four times the amount of people I went to high school with. Fifty times more than fit on a packed city bus. Six hundred times more than fit in my car.
It makes me sad and reminds me that life can change in an instant.

Every time I read this list…and I have, many times, in the last five years…I remember standing at the Wall in Washington, D.C. I remember saying, as everyone did when seeing it for the first time…’oh! so many names….’ And I remember that each of these names belonged to someone who was cherished, someone’s mother, father, son or daughter, someone’s husband, someone’s wife, someone’s friend. And I know that it was not God’s plan for these people to die that day…and so we must always remember them.
I posted a poem about ‘The Names’ on my blog.
