I still can not believe that someone, anyone would just leave a couple of bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. (Was it to see how many people they could kill or injure. Why on earth would people do this to other people?)
A week like this reassures me that I'm on the right track - there is no god worth following, let alone worshipping. A good god, even a mediocre one, would not let these kind of things happen.
Many of my Facebook friends keep posting little sayings like ~
"God will make this all better."
"God has a plan."
"God will dry our tears."
Things will be made better by caring families, friends, neighbors, & communities, and with the help of state, local, and Federal government (that's right - who we vote into office matters on all levels).
It will be our plans that help us move on through these tragedies (and try to prevent such things from happening in the future).
And we are the ones who will dry each others' tears - for we know what it is like to cry.

| First rose, a sign of hope for me. |
This evening, I am sad because of the destruction I have witnessed this week, but I have hope that my fellow humans will someday soon see that it is just us, and it is up to us to make the world a better place.
