Medical workers aid injured people at the 2013 Boston Marathon following an explosion in Boston, Monday, April 15, 2013. Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.

Authorities say they are searching for a darker skinned or black male with a black backpack and black sweatshirt, possibly foreign national from the accent of the potential suspect, WABC-TV reports.
“Five minutes before the first explosion, officials said this person attempted to gain entry to a restricted area. When turned away, he broke eye contact and pulled his sweatshirt hood over his head and left, officials said,” according to the station. CNN has also reported on the development live on the air.
Law enforcement officials are also searching for a yellow Penske box truck that reportedly attempted to gain entry with “medical supplies” about 1 hour before the explosions.
More from WABC’s report:
The Federal Aviation Administration has created a no-fly zone over the area, while security at key sites in Washington DC and New York has been tightened.The devices, based on examination of post-strike video, appear to have been small and may have been concealed in small bags or boxes, officials said. The size of the device can be judged by the lack of structural damage to the windows and buildings adjacent to the blast sites, they explained. The smoke seen after detonation was consistent with the results of a low-velocity improvised explosive mixture, perhaps something like flash powder or a sugar chlorate mixture. Based on the relatively small number of casualties and the types of wounds caused, it is likely that the attackers packed the devices with nails or other improvised shrapnel.

Please keep all involved in this attack, in your prayers... Friends, the Bible says that in the days of Noah, before the flood, that violence filled the land, and that the imaginations of their hearts was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5,6,11, "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence."
Matthew 24:37, "“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day."
Friends, if you are wondering what is going on in the world, Jesus' own words in the Holy Bible tells us these signs would be happening just prior to the second coming of Jesus. I believe that Jesus will come very soon, to take to heaven all those who have accepted Him as their Savior and Lord! The Bible says, we will meet Him in the air! 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, " For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words."
This is good news!
God's best 2 U, Joy J
