Day 105: Pray for Boston

This afternoon our nation experienced, yet another tragedy. There is not much more to say today than to continue the prayers. Keep those directly affected, those injured and those you love in your thoughts as we, as American pull through together. We are a strong nation and it is unfortunate, but it's in the moments of weakness that we remember how strong we are when we work as one. United We Stand. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

On a lighter note, it is my pleasure to say that there were 14 runners from my hometown and none were  injured. The case being the same for runners from Spokane. Many of the runners finished just minutes before the explosion.

God bless,

Kailee

P.S. Other than prayers, I wanted to see if there was something more I could do. This article summed it up best.
