War

NO, it's not here. But it's happening to a friend not too far away. The media tells us it's a dispute over two areas of Georgia who wanted to break away, maybe return to Russia. Russia gave many people from this region passports.

Bombs are falling. People are dying. People are crying. People are running.

The last day of VBS at Kenyazachee, (Thursday, August 7) we saw fighter planes in the sky above us. Not just once or twice but several times.

Russia has come in to the country of Georgia to prove it can't be picked on. . . Georgia is struggling to maintain her nation. Ukraine mentions that maybe Russia will not be able to return to its year-round navy base off the coast in Ukraine.

The media and former Soviet bloc nations say that Ukraine will be next to be invaded.

Life here goes on as normal. Everyone knows what is going on but the bazaars continue, traffic continues. No groups are standing around discussing the issues. We did see grafitti making the Ukrainian national emblem into a Nazi swastika. We're waiting and praying. . . while about 400 miles away friends, and possibly family of our Ukrainian friends are suffering and dying.
