Mourning for Ukraine and the images – wanting nothing more that to be ‘free.’ Thomas Friedman in Sunday’s New York Times labeled this war ‘World War Wired.’ This is the first war that we are seeing horrible images of Ukrainians hunkered down in subway stations, bunkers, and bomb shelters. We are seeing the images coming in powered by smart phones. Our hearts hurt for these loving people whose lives have been disrupted by a mad man. One man with his fingers on the nuclear trigger against the rest of the world. That is what is on my mind and I am sure on everyone else. Out of this a real hero has emerged -Zelensky. Not only that, an amazing leader. I pray for this man, his family, and all the people in Ukraine.

I feel exactly the same. My heart and thoughts are with the people in Ukraine. Let us all hope and pray that the evil will be the loser.
I agree. The news and images are heartbreaking Pray. pray, pray for these brave and admirable people who only want their country to be free. I do admire their spirit of never giving up.
Joining you in these prayers, Vicki, and adding one that our fellow citiziens stay focused and not lapse into complacency because “it’s not in our back yard.”
