Today I am a writer without words. I am shocked and dismayed over the events that took place in Paris yesterday. I pray for the victims and their families and all French citizens. I commend French President Francois Hollande and his ministers for taking decisive action. He has shown himself to be a true leader of his people. May he continue to be the leader his country so desperately needs in this horrific hour.
Au revoir.
