In Response to Yesterdays Incident

Yesterday the city of Boston was shaken up by bombings at the Boston City Marathon. How did I find out about? Facebook and Twitter began to fill up with thoughts, concerns and prayers for the victims and families. My first reaction was "how could there be such evil in our world" which many of you thought. But then I began to read about those who responded to the tragic incident by volunteering themselves to carry victims, offering their homes to those who couldn't go back to their hotel, their businesses to offer a place of comfort and refuge and those runners who finished the race and continued to run to the hospital to donate blood. Then I thought to myself "there are still good people in world today." I wish people would use their hands and mind to do good rather than to hurt others. In less than a year many people have been affected tragically due to someone else's action which includes the shooting in Aurora and Newtown. Now this? Those runners, bystanders and others at the marathon were there to enjoy a race, watch their love ones, and just enjoying a day in the city of Boston. They shouldn't have been hurt such a manner. I hope they catch the person or people involved in this so justice could be brought to the victims and their families. At the same time remember there are still a lot go good people in our world today. Hopefully we surround ourselves with them. Lets keep the people of Boston in our prayers and thoughts.
