We must continue to pray and be alert we never know when and who will strike next but God knows all things. We won't fear but take courage knowing we are in HIS hands. People don't realize the weapon of pray and how it can change anything.

In our case, it's continuing to write about the good race. And you've done a beautiful job, Susan. So touched by this post; it was hard to believe that it happened on Patriot's Day. Yet it proved that the spirit of those early Bostonians lives on in her children today. God bless them and grant them peace.<br /><br />Thanks soPat Iacuzzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983141590663751303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-65187347208491458932013-04-22T20:21:19.320-04:002013-04-22T20:21:19.320-04:00Carla, all this must be even more poignant for you...Carla, all this must be even more poignant for you.

I grew up in a suberb of Boston and worked in Boston as well. My heart also goes out to all those who were injured and the families of the deceased. And to all the amazing Bostonians and others who were involved.
