We cannot let it win!
Bombs destroying a day of accomplishment for all those who had trained and worked so hard to achieve their goals. Men and women of courage and strength and determination do not deserve to
be treated with violence.
A country that acts like a bully betrays its citizens and allows deep feelings of hatred to build up against the people. And as usual the innocent suffer and once again many are forced to live in a state of fear. We cannot treat others like they do not matter and that their lives do not count.
Even our own country is guilty of acts that are unjust.
What now?
Strangely for most people normal life will continue on even in spite of tragedies occurring all around them.
I can only hope that their will be passionate young people that can see the truth and be willing to do something about it and speak out against injustice.
We are both felt lousy. I had a short, slow walk and dad has rested a lot.
Dad and I are very grateful for the help our family gave to us during his trips to the emergency. Sandra was such a good help driving to pick him up and also drive us in the next day. Carol surprised us with a visit to the emergency and I will always remember that too. Kenny with his phone calls and Rick with his visit before his long drive home.
Ava phoned to offer her help which was very kind of her.
Ladies meeting at the church today not sure if I will go. The minister is going to drop by later today.
"When we encounter pain and suffering our lives are disrupted. Our normal paths and expectations come to a halt. Suffering forces us to take a new path, to create new expectations and to see the world differently." from Drops Like Stars by Rob Bell

Terrorism is a real problem and will be around for quite a while, I fear. I tend to think the Boston bombing was just one odd individual, but I suppose we will find out more as the days go by.

It is impossible to understand a mind that would think killing and maiming a random group of people who are in no way threatening the attacker. As one day Mary and I will be at that finish line waiting for Michael John with baby Simone with us it makes me sick to think of the people who's lives will never be the same. Death penalty seems fitting for this crime. There is no rehabilitation possible, and why feed and house the person/s responsible for the next 30 years.

I agree with you both. I think it was some crazy.
The USA is full of radicals , as their has been no claim by a foreign agency , I assume its a American. USA is a very sick country where the right to bear arms is more sacred the human life .
Ken
AMEN
