Disastrous Week in America

It's been a disastrous week in the United States.  North Korea and its saber rattling grabbed headlines in recent weeks.

Suddenly the nation's attention turned to Boston Marathon bombings.  Tragically three people died and over a hundred injured. 

As the law enforcement began its investigation in Boston, more tragedy struck in West, Texas.  An explosion killed twelve people, possibly more, and leveled a good portion of the small Texas town.

While it didn't make headline news, an explosion at the ExxonMobil Beaumont refinery occurred on Wednesday.

I don't really have anything profound to say about these events.  This is more an acknowledgement of events that happened this week in our history and lifetime. 

It's also to remember those who lost lives and loved ones, to remember first responders and ordinary citizens who help those injured, to remember doctors and nurses who attended the victims in the aftermath and to pray for all those affected in anyway by these events.
