Prayers for Boston

[sharelle]

I really have no words for the tragedy that happened in Boston today, and I'm struggling to comprehend the cowardice of those responsible. As a runner, I'm familiar with the personal challenges, as well as the feelings of pride and achievement, that come with participating in an event like this. Assembled at the Boston Marathon today was an international community of runners - individuals representing dozens of different countries, pursuing not only their own personal goals, but also many who were running to benefit charities in need.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the innocent victims of today's tragedy. I'm especially praying that my local friends, who were participating in the event, come home safely.

Be kind to each other, everyone.
