God is slowly being removed from our society, so bad things like this are bound to happen. I do not think that God makes them happen, but he does allow them to happen to open our eyes to how much we need love, and God is love.
The people that do these things do not have God present in their lives, and there is no way around that. So should we stay inside, stop going to large events, stop running marathons, and stop doing things we love?? I don't think that's the answer. There's a chance for a terrible accident to occur any day, anywhere, and any time.
Our best bet is to get right with God and trust Him. If we do happen to be involved in a terrible incident like this, it won't matter in the long run when we are with Him for eternity. The only way to protect ourselves these days is to guard our hearts with love and pour at as much love as we possibly can.
Keep praying for the victims, but pray for the bombers too.

Right to the point. Most people don't realize that this is what they need to hear. Also, thank you for not posting a gruesome photo. I think it was extremely disrespectful to the victims for their injuries to be splattered on front pages all over the country. #prayforboston
