Today, or rather yesterday, (with my rather odd sleep schedule I have not gone to bed yet) I awoke to the news that Paris had been attacked by terrorists. There were six attacks across the city leaving 128 people dead and at least 180 more injured. At this point it is believed that all the attackers died, most via suicide. French President François Hollande has declared a state of emergency for the first time since 2005, closing public places, imposing curfews and restricting the movement of people and traffic throughout the city. My heart weeps for Paris, we must all pray for Paris.
