Participating in Race with Grace this past Sunday reminded me how truly kind and compassionate people can be. If you watch too much evening news… or read too many tabloids… or if you travel by phone or laptop on any of the social media highways… you may get a very twisted and tainted view of mankind. But believe me, there is more good in humanity than bad. And in this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I use 2 seemingly dissimilar events to make my case.

Tuesday morning of this past week, my family and I visited the Ground Zero memorial of 9/11. Twenty years earlier, at 8:45 a.m. on a Tuesday morning (September 11, 2001), 19 militants associated with the Islamic group, al Qaeda, showed us the vulnerability of our heretofore taken-for-granted American Freedom! Please take a few moments to remember the people we lost that day. And, for further reading, check out this week’s #fridaypfisterfix for a reminder about why we should never take our Freedom for granted…
