79 years ago, at 7:55am on Sunday, Dec. 7th, 1941. Pearl Harbor was attacked by an overwhelming Japanese force. All 8 Battleships present were damaged and 4 were sunk. 8 other ships were damaged or destroyed. 188 Aircraft were destroyed, and 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 were wounded.
In a moment, in an instant, people’s lives were changed forever, the trajectory of our country’s history immediately altered. Seconds before that first bomb, people were drinking coffee and frying eggs, feeling blessed by a beautiful Hawaii morning. Some were getting ready for Church, others for a day at the beach, or lounging around the house. For those in the military, maybe a day spent on watch or some much appreciated time off.
But the bombs were coming and they had no idea.
Isn’t life that way? Whether it’s a car wreck, or death, or the consequences of a bad decision or just bad luck. One minute you are alone in the universe of your mind, and then next, BAM!
How do you recover? Like we did in 1941, all hands on deck, united, ready to do whatever it takes to fight back.
