[On the bombing of the Boston Marathon]

As much as this horrible event hurts, saddens, scares, etc., let's remember that Satan loves to divide & conquer & he's probably happy if we start bickering amongst each other.....there are SO MANY facets to this travesty, but perhaps the most significant is that people might be 'shaken' enough to turn to the Lord; realize that life is precious & waaaaayyyy more important than self-glorification in some ancient race.

I'm a runner but never ran anything close to a marathon, but so many of these folks spend many of their waking moments preparing for this event, it's become idolatry; perhaps now they will look to Jesus.......& I am praying for President Obama; as much as I disagree w/ some of his decisions, I pray he's moved by this & perhaps he'll seek the Lord as well....?

There's been some awful violence in Boston recently, esp the bus driver who was attacked & beaten by a mob of 15-16 year olds in March. I don't even bother going into the city unless I absolutely need to. What can we expect from a godless city though? A city clearly calling 'evil' good & 'good' evil? It's like God's Hand of protection has been removed from that area. We don't live near the city & I'm very content in my blue-collar 'uncultured' town.
