Until I watched the evening news last night I was unaware of the 3 pm attack on pedestrians in New York by a lone wolf terrorist. Many of you recognize the picture above as the sight of the attack. The striking part of the image is the crumpled bicycles laying on the ground. No pedestrian or bike rider is safe when a pick-up truck is speeding toward them. This path is supposed to be free from motorized vehicles, which further surprised the people there when the speeding vehicle appeared.

I am glad they have the person responsible in custody. More than that I pray for the victims both dead and alive and their families. Their personal world has been shattered and done so in a cruel and violent manner. I also pray for the health care workers, police, and others whose jobs require them to respond to what has happened. All of them will need the power of prayer support in the days ahead.
