I was on my way to work this am ........when I heard the news........I flashed back to the last shuttle accident......I was watching when that happened..........Sometimes I think we take things for granted.........I pray for the families that lost their loved ones today..........I am thankful that America is the land of the free ......that people care..love...we are still the home of the brave......cause they are the ones who gave their lives up this am for us.............God bless America!!!! God bless all of those who have given for us.......for we recieve and are safe cause of them.......Please take a moment to pray or just say a word what ever your thing is.........BUT remember they died trying to make OUR world better for US............


Our father who art in heaven...

I too was watching the last space shuttle 17 yrs ago with my middle son....we sat there in astonishment....not believing our eyes.....and then when the twin towers were blown up....it brought the terrible fact home to us....that we are not invinsible.......the terror the loss of lives that day were overwhelming.....the Oklahoma bombing.....the list goes on and on....we all take for granted that we can't be touched by these things...but one tiny moment changes lives forever......again I say.....we all need to send up a prayer for the families and not take for granted what we have......be grateful for all we do have....Amen.....

the people that we lost today
our prayers they go to you
it seemed like such a simple thing
space and the the things you do

now families left behind are hurt
some lost a mom or Dad
its no longer quites so simple
and America is sad

please know your mark is on our hearts
we'll feel it everyday
may you find that blessed rest and peace
From God who leads the way ...

Windycityman...you started a pray and I wish to finish it...

Our father who art in heaven; hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.


Peace be with them and their families

Thank you for the bravery and unwavering dedication of the astronauts and ground personnel of NASA. Prayers to the American and Israeli space personnel who so tragically perished today. It brought the other shuttle disaster back to memory in a heartbeat. Thanks for my valued freedom that our troops and government fight for every day! I am especially thankful that we live in America...free to express our opinions (whether we agree or not), free to move about the country without intervention, and able to have the choices that so many do not have the luxury of having around the world.

Every day...I wonder why I got to live so many years...a few yrs ago I was moaning becuse of my age and a very good friend of mine said.....well what's the alternative...now I wear my age with pride...and thank God everyday for letting me stay...I need to be here for all the family

I believe this and I could be wrong but it is how *I* feel.

When we are born the day of our death is already determined. So whether we are in the air, on the ground, in a car or just sleeping, it doesn't matter. What matters is what we did during our time on this earth. Sometimes death can be ugly but sometimes it can be a blessing too. I don't want to get too deep here but I try to treat others as I want to be treated. I feel we are going to war soon and I am scared. I am scared for my children and their futures. I teach them the same thing my mom taught me *smile at everyone and be kind, sometimes they smile back and are kind.* I live in New Jersey windycityman and 911 was my eye opener. I still smile and try to be kind........

Kissing away the tears from your eyes...it will be ok.

My heart goes to the families of these astronauts. The families were arriving to greet their husbands or wifes, fathers or mother, sons or daughter or brother or sisyer, for their safe return back home.

I was watching it, after my daughter came in to tell me. The tears came to my eyes again, thinking about the love ones left behided. They were young, but death has no age to go or stop on.


May god watch over the families, for the pain they are feeling now. Give them the strength and love they will need from this day on.




Someone pointed out on the news, they should stay away from the C's naming the rockets.
