Wow, it is finally Friday. It has been a very ugly week for news. Every day this week has seen an ugly news story develop and the headlines reflected it..
Bombs going off at the Boston Marathon, two IED's (improvised explosive devices) found on the streets of Quincy, graffiti on a bathroom wall at a school in Camp Point that prompted police to search students' personal belongings. Those are a few of the things that have happened this week that have made national and local headlines, and cause everyday people to take pause.
Central Baptist Church, Seventh and Broadway, Quincy, will host an ecumenical Candle Light Prayer Service for the victims and first responders at the Boston Marathon tragedy. The public is invited to this prayer service at Central Baptist Church on Wednesday, April 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
When I heard about two explosions in Boston during the Boston Marathon Monday afternoon, it brought back flashbacks of 9-11 all over again. Innocent people killed and maimed for no reason at all. It also brought out the anger in me in that I wanted this person (or these persons) to suffer for it, as well. God would not have been proud of me for what I was thinking.
