I believe in peace (unless it’s professional wrestling). Perhaps those on Team Jesus should set the example of loving thy neighbor as thyself. I hold my prayers and thoughts up for the people of Iran, Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, China, and other places and people we are told to hate. I also hold my prayers for places that have faced devastation because of wars they didn’t ask for, like Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Ukraine. I really don’t think it’s too much to ask to believe the world can be better and that people should win the day.

Support Ukraine Now
The United States is not doing its part to support Ukraine as of late. Republicans in charge of the US House of Representatives are the problem. The longer it takes to get supplies to the Ukrainian military the more Russian forces advance and capture more territory making life hard for the citizens of the war-torn country. Other countries are taking the lead and thank goodness. Ukrainians need material support and prayers to get them through this horrible time in their history.
Russian citizens are not the enemy. It’s Putin who is using the military to advance his evil aims. Every day Russians are subject to sanctions and I would think they would rather not be.
Support Ukraine now and in the future.
Thought Of The Day 03042022
We live in wonky times. Sure there’s inflation and stuff is more expensive these days among other economic situations. It’s a burden we are all experiencing, no one is immune. Let’s be grateful for what we have. And learn from history when things were much worse.
We have a pandemic we are continuing to live with. Also Vladimir Putin decided to use Russia’s armed forces to attack Ukraine. The world can’t seem to catch a break. Humanity needs one.
Be kind to others and yourself while you are at it. We are all in this thing together. Life will be better that way.
Quote Of The Day
Let’s build a country of opportunities, where everybody is equal before the law and where the rules of the game are honest and transparent, and the same for everyone.

The Attack On Ukraine, May There Be Peace Again
The Russian military began attacking the nation of Ukraine on Wednesday 2/23/2022. This situation is dangerous and serious for those who call it home. The attack was unprovoked and is all sorts of wrong.
I’m hoping for an end to the violence and I’m asking that peace will come again. God be with those in harms way, keep them safe. May this be a call to action for people to love above all.
The Ukraine-Russia Situation
I am hoping for peace in the Ukraine-Russia situation. My thoughts are with the people of both nations. In the case of Russia, the people are at the mercy of whatever Vladimir Putin wants to do. His ego is writing a check that will cost the region if not the world dearly.
The global community must come together to condemn the actions of Putin. It’s my hope no blood will be shed by anyone. Economic sanctions are a good start but I hope the military will not be charged with fighting another war however peace often requires action with a cost.
First COVID now this. My goodness, let’s chill.
Give peace a chance, please.
