Why do terrorists attack the most innocent among us?
We may never have the answers but the following quote from Tolkien reminds us that in times of great peril… Evil cannot prevail against Love.
“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
J.L. Bond is an author, blogger, wife and mother of two daughters. Contrary to popular belief, she is not related to that other J. Bond, nor is she an international woman of intrigue. She began blogging in 2005 while on a seven-month long “around the world” trip.

Thanks for your insightful comments. As time goes on, I hope we never forget those whose lives were forever changed by this unthinkable evil.
