I don’t have anything to say about Boston, because after I saw the photo of the young man in a wheelchair, in shock, with his legs blown off, there is nothing to say, except maybe for this.

I just saw a live interview with Dr. Peter Fagen Fagenholz, a Boston trauma surgeon, who has been operating on the injured all day, and just went back into the hospital to work to save more lives. That is a good man. There have been lots of good men and women in Boston today, running to help people. I cannot believe that the evil that the cowardly bomber did today annihilates the courage and goodness of the people of Boston. These words are trite, I know, but this is true, and it’s important to remember.

Pray for the dead, the injured, the frightened, and those who are helping them now.

One more thing: I have learned from my sister and her experience with the cancer that killed her that sometimes, it’s more important to quit thinking about why terrible things happen, and get busy helping those who suffer. Don’t try to explain; explanations are not possible. Just love, and comfort, and strengthen, and encourage. If any redemption can come out of these terrible events, it will be through those things.
