I sit trying to write this post, trying to put together my thoughts on how this day unfolded....and it is difficult to do just that. The day began with cheering for the wheelchair division runners....
We sat perched at mile 7 waiting and cheering for all of those making their dreams come true. Having put in the months of work, they were finally running Boston...THE Boston Marathon! It is difficult to think that these people...
were just 19 miles from a horrific scene...I really am without words and do not want to write just to write. So for that reason I am signing off for the day. Thankful that my friends who were at the site are all OK and that my family and I made a decision Monday morning to head to mile 7 instead of spend a sunny day in Boston. My thoughts and prayers are with all those effected.
Today I am wearing a race shirt...a sign of camaraderie to say that evil will NOT be victorious. Joining hands with brothers and sisters far and wide so show that good WILL triumph!
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21
So glad you are okay, I was thinking about you when I heard. I will be wearing my race shirt today.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful verse for today. I'm thankful you and your family were no where near that finish line today. I'll also be wearing a race shirt.
ReplyDeleteHow scary to be so close, glad you and your family are safe. It was scary from across the country I can't imagine 19 miles.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm thankful you made the decision to cheer at mile 7 yesterday. This whole tragedy blows my mind. I just can't believe it.
ReplyDeleteI've got my race shirt on today.

ReplyDeleteExactly, good will prevail!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, so scary how close you were. My mind was flooded with scripture all afternoon too, love the verse that you shared. We will continue to do our part in overcoming the evil with good.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs my friend. I'll be wearing race shirts all week. :) I'll be running as much as I am able.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys are ok!
ReplyDeleteSo scary. So happy you're okay ;-) such senseless hate...no other words.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are ok! I really enjoyed your happy race picures. I remember seeing those burgers. I got passed by one last year, and I think a pregnant lady passed me last year too.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, without words. I was so happy to see you at the 7 mile marker! A smiling face makes all the difference! I am so happy that Jill and her brother are okay; I was especially worried about them!
