After the horrific and tragic events in Boston this week, the troubles we had in the family last week have paled and faded in my mind. Seeing this image this morning makes me wonder what the human race has come to.

What does this scene bring to mind for you? How has the past week affected you, your family and your friends?

Even if you choose not to share your thoughts, take a moment to reflect and write them down, if only for yourself.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families and friends.
