Good afternoon, and congratulations to everyone who is receiving rain this afternoon. Enjoy!
Here are some stories of interest for you this afternoon:
1. Life in lower Manhattan resembled any ordinary day today as workers rushed to their jobs in the muggy heat, but time stood still at the World Trade Center site while families wept for loved ones who perished in the terror attacks 12 years ago. At this link, you can read how our nation paused today to pay tribute to victims of the terror attacks on that tragic day, along with links to more related content.
2. Your week in music: Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift lead CMA nominations, Coldplay releases first song in two years for Hunger Games soundtrack, and Mandisa's encouraging new single, Overcomer, reminds us to 'stay in the fight 'til the final round.' Read the news and see videos here.
