I admit I've been quite sheltered from anything like that. <br /><br />My husband and I were talking today about those two responsible for the Boston bombing. What in the world did they expect/hope to accomplish? So much loss and heartbreak. Peace is a wonderful thing to strive for, but it does seem impossible to achieve when so many individuals believe violence is the solution to everything.Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-77603979755549052812013-04-21T15:47:19.024-05:002013-04-21T15:47:19.024-05:00It's been nothing short of a horrifying week. ...It's been nothing short of a horrifying week.

So, so horrendous and sad all round. I think the FBI did really good in catching the two culprits so quickly, but my heart goes out to all those affected by this incident.

He had every opportunity to get ahead. He was in a country that allowed freedom. He was smart. He was a student in a fine university. <br /><br />WHAT HAPPENED? It's anybody's guess.<br /><br />I don't think he and the brother planned to die that fateful day.<br /><br />They didn't seem to have the aftermath planned at all. So perplexing.<br /><br />We must all find forgiveness or at least pray for him as well as for all the victims of the bombing. WWJD?
