I came out of my hotel this afternoon this morning and
heard screaming. I looked around to figure out what was going on. I really
could not understand what the man was screaming about. I finally was able to
find him and noticed he was on the ground being held down by two police
officers. It has been very interesting what I have seen in San Francisco so
far.
Just a few hours later I heard the news about the
bombings at the Boston Marathon. After that I read a posting on Facebook about
a restaurant in Houston, TX who put a sign that said that beer should be like
violence, domestic. All of these things remind me of the messed up society we
live in today. An 8 year old boy and two adults lost their lives today in
Boston because in someone’s mind it was ok to put bombs out and hurt people.
There were people today who celebrated the loss of life. It is sad. It is sad
that we walk around wondering where it will happen next. It is sad that we have
to question our safety. I pray for all around the worlds, especially families
all around the world who have lost loved ones today.
But today, in spite of all of the negatives I witness I
must remember the everyday heroes. There were first responders who stepped in
to help people after the bombing. Also, the runners who not only finished the
marathon, but kept running to Massachusetts General Hospital to donate blood. We
have to keep praying for a better world!!!
