Boston....

Day 6,
  Today I was glued to the tv as the events of the bomb attack at the Boston marathon unfolded...it left me thinking what is next.  I couldn't really focus on my projects. I just kept thinking this kind of stuff doesn't happen in the USA. But it's sad because it does. We need to all stand up and say this is not the America we want to live in. Please pray for those who are lost. Have lost and those who may feel lost after this day has forever changed their lives.
