A moment of Silence

On Tuesday, March 22, radical Islamists attacked the people of Brussels, Belgium, killing 34 people and wounding over 220, some critically in attacks on both the International Airport and the Maelbeek metro station. Three terrorists were involved in the attack. Two died at the scene, and a third is still at large. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

I know we have all watched this over the last few days. One minute, people are going about their normal day, perhaps traveling to a vacation destination or a business trip, but in the next minute their world is forever changed. My thoughts are with those impacted by the horrific acts of terrorism in Belgium and around the world. We must stop what we are doing and join together in prayer for the families and victims of this attack, as well as for the entire United States, all of Europe and our allies around the world. Please join my husband, Mike, and I in praying for all of those impacted by these heinous acts of terror.
