QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out
for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody
who needs a helping hand. I cant change the way anybody else thinks, or
what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.”

Dear friends,
We are still in a state of shock over the massive explosion in Texas Wednesday night. So many brave people lost their lives that night, 4 EMT's in training were some of the first to arrive at the scene.
The first thing that we thought was it was another attack of terrorism. What happened in Boston was too fresh in our minds. Last word we heard, it was a tragic accident and we pray it stays that way. Mommy cried when she heard the tape of a little girl's terrified voice when the explosion happened. When it was thought to be just a fire many people were taping it as was her father. There have been many nasty things being said about the father for even being near the fire and exposing her to harm. It is humane nature, Mommy says, for people to be drawn to things like this. He was just as terrified as she was. Mommy wishes people would just leave it alone and think about what happened and how to help the town.
One lady, whose husband is a volunteer firefighter and was fighting the fire, was interviewed and she said they lost their home after the explosion. She was able to get her mother and herself out alive but not their 2 dogs. The loss of any life is heartbreaking as well as losing your beloved pets. The town is in need of everything, including our prayers.

Congrats on such a beautiful baby Paxton! Did we understand correctly that hubby was fighting the fire in West? Such a sad, sad thing to happen and hurt so many. After such a rough week it was nice to see such a beautiful new face!

The Texas fertilizer thing was pretty awful! We're sorry to hear that people suffered for it. We pray that people will recover from it.
Nice meeting you, Paxton!
Hi Mona and Weenie,
It was a shocking news... I hope people are recovering soon.
The baby is so cute!

We pray for the people around Waco. Today we have our Marathon so we also take time to think of the people of Boston.
Have a serene Sunday.
Best wishes Molly
