I'm watching the Boston Channel Five news right now. Many people injured....They don't know the cause yet. Many questions. Many injuries, people lost limbs. I'm sending prayers to all of them.
Midge
Just do it.

Just saw the news. My prayers go out to all. Such a tragedy.

So, so sad! My heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones.
Bob As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

Glad to hear loved ones have been accounted for, Becky. As far as I know all of mine are safe too. My second cousin works in Boston but she is safe and the rest of the family weren't there to day....whew! My prayers are going up for those involved and their families. Another very sad day in America.

glad to hear that your family is fine Becky. It makes you wonder, what kind of a world are we living in now, when innocent people that are just out enjoying themselves can be blown away by such sick people. My heart & prayers are with these innocent people.

Do people really not care that much about human life? How senseless is that! I heard on the radio this morning that the Boston Marathon had a special dedication to the Newtown victims this year. Each of the 26 miles of the marathon was dedicated to one of the 26 victims at Newtown. What even makes it more sickening is the family of the Newtown victims were sitting near the finish line to watch the race. As of this morning, nobody knew if any of them were injured. My stomach just turns with this news.
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?
