Boston Marathon Prayers

 Please keep Boston in your prayers. People were watching their loved ones waiting to cross the finish line in Copley square, instead they were running for their lives.

Thanks for starting this Kathleen and I do hope you had no one close involved in any way ??  

An absolute and utter horror and we can go round the trees trying to figure out why but in my book, we can't, for anything like that is done by a  mind that none of us can comprehend the workings of because we have none of the insane qualities that have to be present to formulate and carry out such, a heinous act.

I know one girl, Gloria, who has said on another thread about a member of her family being in the race but they are safe and I hope if anyone else had family or friends taking part that they are safe also.   One of my friends on FB had her son taking part and he was approx. 1/2 mile from the finish line when the bombs went off....think we can all well imagine how she and her husband are feeling.  

I should also like to say on here too that I do hope, with all my heart, that if Michael had friends or family taking part that they are all safe.

I also hope that all those that have lost dear ones and all those that are injured can find the strength and support that they will need to even start to overcome the shock and horror that they are now living in and I pray whatever God, each and everyone of them holds dear in their hearts, is with them and can give them the solace they need. 

 

Sylvia.  Your wee Scottish friend.

Have picked this up on FB and it was posted by Holly Marple and thought more than appropriate to bring over here..........

This is what is on my mind as I write this...!!! Now is the time for our Michael to make that video that he said he would very much like to make! Marvin Gayes song "What's going on"??? Because there is simply too much War & Hate in this world today!!! And babies are dying...it's Not supposed to be this way:(

To All of You in Boston, and everywhere...my prayers are always w/you:)!

I guess everyone has heard that the man that sent the ricin laced letters has been arrested. He was from my hometown of Tupelo, about 45 miles from where I live now and they arrested him in Corinth about 20 miles from where I live know. Some of my high school classmates actually new him according to their Facebook posts today. THIS IS VERY SCARY.

No i don't know anyone who was there. I live about 10 minutes outside of Boston. Only connection to marathon i have is my brother. He fixes big trucks, so he follows the truck that bring the wheelchairs to the starting line. This was about 4am on monday morning. the bombs went off 250pm

Law enforcement released the pictures of the suspects. since thursday night it has been a terribly crazy night. there were reports of armed robberies and an ambushed shooting of an M.I.T. police officer.  a police chase where the suspects were throwing explosives at the cops. one suspect was shot and later died at the hospital. one suspect still on the run. about 6 cities.town are on lockdown. no mbta service, cabs have been shut down.

cops going door to door evacuating houses, they are mainly focusing in watertown and cambridge.

it has been crazy. thousands of police officers from all new england help keeping us safe.hopefully the manhunt for the second suspect will be over soon.

Local, state and federal authorities have got the second suspect. He was found in a boat in Watertown. He is in custody.  The state of Massachusetts can sleep knowing that one of the men responsible for taking 4 lives will never see daylight again.
