I took a moment today at 2:49 pm to offer prayer for those 3 people who lost their lives one year ago today and for the health and continued recovery of the 260 or so injured in the Boston Marathon Bombing of just one year ago. While praying I remembered the police officer as well as one of the accused bombers are also now deceased. After reflecting on the passing of one year, my determination is for the creation of a peaceful society that all of us can feel proud to be a part of where violence is never allowed to come into the equation in resolving conflicts.
