As we express our condolences for those immediately affected by the tragedy in Boston, let us not forget that we stand here as men and women created by a Supreme Being (for those that do believe in that concept) that will provide the comfort needed in this time of sorrow. We should not get angry and fill ourselves with thoughts of violence against others, but rather look inside of our hearts and minds and ask for healing for those affected. Times may seem troubling, but they have and will be far worse. Don't lose your faith over a mixed emotion. We will get past this event and be stronger from it just as long as we keep our composure and trust and believe that we all will be healed. Weeping may endure for tonight........
Hmm. Just thinking. When we tell people to evacuate during natural disasters do we ever think of the privilege in the notion of just loading up the car and grabbing a hotel or a safe place? Some of these people just paid mortgage and first of the month bills and may not have the resources. Some may have been displaced previously and used up their emergency allocation. Some just don't have it. And here we are telling people to just get outta there and backseat driving. I pray that their creator provide for them what's needed to "evacuate." Gotta be better.
