Prayers for Boston

It just doesn't make sense.  I don't know why someone would take advantage of a joyous occasion and turn it into a place of destruction.  My prayers go out to all of the runners and spectators and the people of Boston. I can't imagine what the runners and their families were feeling when this was going on and in the aftermath. I can't even let my mind go to what I would have done if this had happened during the Chicago Marathon this past fall, when my mom and uncle were running.  I would have been a complete mess, as I know so many people were yesterday.  I've come across this picture on facebook several time in the past 18 hours and I think it says so much about the human spirit and the way so many people react in crazy situations.
