We are all a team - and now we all need to pray.

My posts are, normally, uplifting.  They are about appreciating the little things and how the adventures I encounter form my thoughts and days.  Today I have questions.

I was ready to write about my amazing and full weekend.  The wonderful people I had fun with, the family adventures we encountered but now?  Now I am confused.

I am a runner and one thing I have learned is that running is a team sport.  I run with some wonderful ladies and we get each other through our easy and hard runs - easy and hard days.  I am on numerous FB groups where we cheer each other on as if we are old friends, and yet, we have never met.  We are all kindred spirits, we run together.

Today, we were all cheering for our fellow runners in the Boston Marathon - we are their cheerleaders from all over the globe. Some of us even have far fetched dreams of making it some day.  Now we are asking questions.  Now we are praying.

We don't know what has happened, and we don't have answers.  It may be a while before we know anything but one thing I do know - we need to pray.  We need pray for the runners who are done, the runners who are still on the course, the fans, the families and friends cheering from home and can't get updates.

We are all a team - and now we all need to pray.
