Shut Up and Pray

I want to know what is happening in Boston just as much as most people. I am sure I am less interested than those directly affected by it. I am certainly less heartbroken than they are.

But here's the thing: I don't know anything. I don't care to hear your speculation about what might be happening. It doesn't do anyone any good. Whether it's true or false, can you really imagine that any of those who are severely hurting from these tragedies appreciates you bombarding them with your speculation?

In cases such as these, compassion is our duty. So, please, shut up and pray for Boston. 

No more gabbing. No more political statements. No more. Just STOP.
