#PrayforBerlin

A German market full of Christmas foods and decorations would be fun at this time of year - normally. This Berlin market was normal yesterday until someone barreled through shoppers and merchandise stands with a truck, killing twelve.

Now heavily armed police stand guard in the Christmas market and a beautiful tradition has been poisoned.

Looks like the U.S. State Department was right to warn about this a month ago when they called for caution "in markets and other public places, saying extremist groups including Islamic State and al-Qaida were focusing “on the upcoming holiday season and associated events.”
