a sad, evil day for us all

I've been watching television very nearly all day, like everyone else, trying to fathom what has happened. I'm in Texas, safe, but like many I have family in New York from whom no word has come.

What kind of people do something like this? What kind of people have the sort of audacity this took?

Prayers going out tonight for all the victims, their families and friends, and for our President, that he may have the strength to guide us through this with a cool head and confident manner. Prayers go out for our entire nation and all our allies, that we may have reason to hope and that God will give us all strength to survive the aftermath.
