Please pray for the health of my brother in law and sister in law (chronic illnesses), and the overall well-being of my young nephew and niece, as it is difficult for them to understand and process it all.

Been there, done that. Lord, have mercy!

I have a photo of doing one of those ear suppository-candle things to my older daughter. It's weird for Americans to see in treating ear infection; I certainly had never heard of it. I even posted it once, and said we were teaching kids to smoke out of their ears.

There's actually a funny story from when my oldest was a baby and I was a grad student at the Russian School. He had a high temperature, and the (Russian) women all told my wife "Get svechki!" (the word for "candles". They got me to call the local pharmacy, as I'm the American, and I told the woman who answered the situation, and said that we are asking for something like birthday candles to put in his butt. The woman figured out that we meant suppositories, something I had had no experience with, and I picked them up with no problem. But 30 years later, I still get rubbed for that one...

another school shooting, this time in Texas.

Lord have mercy on this insane world.

Asking for prayers. Despair is ramping up. Several of our local priests who expressed opposition to the war have been moved/replaced/punished for doing so. I'm losing faith in the Russian Church altogether. I have nowhere to go, but the local institution is clearly serving the masters of this world rather than the Master of the next.

I was a lead defender of Russia until this current madness. Now I can't defend anything, feel betrayed myself, and have nowhere and no one to turn to. Even saying this is risky for me.

(belated) prayer request for all those men and women who have died in defense of their country.
