A True Tragedy Today: The Boston Marathon


Today, I write with a heavy heart.

The Boston Marathon…

Something we’ve all known about our whole lives. A race that America is proud of, that people train their whole lives to compete in…a race that now is attached to a great tragedy.

The visions of today’s explosions are terrifying. As are the reports that the bombs were filled with additional items outside of explosives like bullets, shrapnel, etc.

My famous question remains, “What in the world is wrong with people?”

I am so saddened for those affected by this awful tragedy, but I am going to follow the act of Patton Oswalt and try to look at a positive side. Look at all of the individuals running TOWARD the explosion in the videos and the photographs that have surfaced today.

His point: There may be an individual or a group of people who attempted…and succeeded…in ruining The Boston Marathon. Lives were ruined today and individuals were hurt and even killed. But, there are more of us who ARE the good of the world and who will continue fighting to better it. 

We can make a difference – keep faith, always remember the good and send your love and prayers to Boston. I know that’s what I am doing.
