I wish I knew more about the current situation in Ukraine so that I could let you all in on what is really happening but, as you have probably heard, truth is often the first casualty of war. This you can be sure of though--many Christians are caught up in the conflict on both sides and they have very few choices available to them to escape violence. Millions are fleeing to Poland. Being Polish myself and the son of immigrants, I grew up hearing stories of war time atrocities and when I visited then communist Poland in 1985, you could cut the air that was heavy with Soviet oppression. There is a long history of bitter rivalry that exists between nations in that part of the world that we, relatively comfortable in our blessed country, really have no concept of and if you would like to read about my reflections and travels to Eastern Europe, you can do so by getting my brief travelogue that I wrote upon my return to the USA from behind the Iron Curtain that existed then. It's available here at Amazon. But above all, I encourage you to remember the members of the Body of Christ that are facing death and tribulation daily and pray for peace. |
