    Absolutely none, Mitch. The world is a very unpleasant place at the moment, driven by a few meglomaniac idiots. 🙁

    I agree my friend. I went to Africa three times for President Clinton and I went to Bosnia for President Clinton. In Africa, us soldiers had to dig mass graves. Poor people and so many children died of starvation. Hard to understand, after 5000 years of fighting. We cannot stop. Soldiers become anti war. We had learn. The dead cannot speak no-more.

      You hit the nail on the head re 5000 years of fighting… remember, yes, learn from yes, but let go and move on with dialogue, understanding and respect. Both the Ukraine/Russia and Middle East conflicts are really continuations of past wars.

    “Like” is the wrong word for my reaction, Mitch. God is in tears over the mess we are making of His creation!

    Well, that photo woke me up from my suburban Starbucks interlude. Such a waste war is. It only robs and leaves behind grief. When will we ever learn?

    It makes me feel ill! What in the blazes is going on here on earth? Certain people opened their respective Pandora’s boxes and people are accepting, even welcoming, evil, pure, unadulterated evil. God help us, 🙏🏽 please!!!!

    Who would have thought all these would happen with all the self-claimed sanity and superior civilizations? So painful

    Sadly, too true. I can hardly bear to watch what is happening in Gaza now. It is terrible. There must be another way.

    True true 🙏 The heart wrenches out whenever one sees a child in tears or in panic stricken state…the news on television capture it beautifully and succeed in moving the lame audience like us, while the real perpetrators continue on heartlessly!

    No words to express the pain and horror of war and hurt children.

    “Is there any clearer sign of a world gone mad than a suffering child?” Those words speak to the heart. So many horrific images coming to us, of children, caught in the battles of others.

    Sweet Jesus, break my heart for what breaks yours. This kills me to the core. No child should have to suffer this way. Peace in Christ to all
