Welcome to Gaia! ::

Around 11:42 am, 2:42 pm Boston, The Boston Marathon was attacked by two bombs. Not much is known about the attack and what i have heard 2 people have been killed and multiple wounded. They do not know if this is a domestic attack or foreign attack, not much is really known. Nonetheless i ask you all to pray for those who are grieving, wounded and even the attackers. I dont know how but God will make a miracle out of this some how.

Update: I found out that the devices that caused the explosion were small and not military grade, meaning home made. I also found out there was a third explosion at John F. Kennedy Library that went off the same time as the others. Some one knew what they were doing, they planned this. Though we don't know if JFK Library is tied to the Boston Marathon, but people assume so. There are at least 68 patients, including children admitted to hospitals, dozens admitted with 'shrapnel type wounds'. 2 dead 23 injured, Bombs described as "small portable devices", according to AP, 2 additional devices found. Fire at JFK Library being investigated as related. As of now we have no clue who cause the attack, the gov. or Homland will be looking on the internet to see if they can find anyone expressing joy and/or claiming credit to the attack. Aside from looking every where else they can think, as well as the Usual Suspects. No other devices like the bombs have been found yet but the boston police are still looking just in case. The Fire at JFK was caused by an explosion. A witness saw a trashcan explode moments after the first bomb. This attack has been deemed a terrorist attack, though they do not know if it is foreign or homegrown. Boston had their cell phone service taken down, due to the chance of the bombs being activated remotely. FBI and Homeland are trying to figure out who did this, according to the president.

With now 3 dead and 144 hurt, it's a tragic thing. sad Definitely will be praying.

I will also be praying for the people that were responsible for this - that they would find God in their lives and allow Him to mold their heart. Also, that the ones who did this will face the consequences of their actions.

This is horrible news. It just makes me think: what has our world come to, that people would enjoy causing pain to others? I wish Jesus would come back soon; I'm so ready for Heaven. I will pray diligently for those families affected. They didn't deserve this.

All the more reason to pray. but you know what? God's gonna be with us the whole way. We have His protection, and when the End comes, I'm not going to be afraid. He'll always be with us, and I'm so thankful for that.

Why don't we pray for the starving people of Africa
Why don't we pray for the people dying in Burma
Why don't we pray for the Palestine people
Why don't we pray for the people of Libya and Syria
Oh wait
people dying in america are more important burning_eyes

Thank you for pointing this out Khalid. You are quite right.
Nobody should be left out of prayers regardless of geographical location.
One reason we do could be that things affect us differently when it happens close to home, and how we are exposed to it through the media. We don't hear so much about the people of Libya or Syria compared to what we hear about our own countries. Not saying that is right, or how it should be, but that is how it is.
People in America is just as important as people dying in any other country, and for any other reason than terrorism.
