Thoughts on Boston and West, Texas

This week has been a crazy week in our nation. Here are my own meandering thoughts regarding the Boston Marathon Terror Attacks and the Waco Fertilizer Plant Explosion.
We all knew that after 9/11 it would only be a matter of time before another terror attack would occur. However, reality of another attack stirs up old scars. Scars of anxiety, fear and sadness and unexplained loss.  Yet in the midst of the dark and dreary time a light can still can be seen. A ray of resilience. The Unstoppable spirit of the American people. Laying aside their differences and banding together for the sake of helping their fellow countrymen. Many giving from their hearts as well as their pocketbooks. The first responders dropping everything to help others. A ray of hope. Knowing that this is not the end and to keep moving forward moment by moment.  In these dark and trying times I have never been more proud to be an American.
