My heart ached when I heard the news and saw the reports
from the Boston Marathon yesterday. Evil does exist in the world. The events in Boston really struck a nerve. I
can’t imagine the terror and confusion in the moment and the grief in the
aftermath (I’m especially feeling for the runner whose son was killed and wife
and daughter injured). I have
participated in a number of big races through the years, especially Richmond, so
I could imagine being near that finish line. The atmosphere is always upbeat, positive,
and celebratory. And to be shattered in an instant by a senseless act. I don’t
get it. I agree with what Bob Russell tweeted yesterday: “The evil one seeks to
kill, steal & destroy. Don't cower in fear. Let’s run to the only safe
haven - the will of God. He will overcome!”
