The “I love Jesus” blog

Two weeks ago Sunday, church was a little different for us.  Bogdon dragged the projector and screen into the main room. They hooked it up to the computer and we all got to see a blog made by Sergei and a few of the other guys from Safe Haven.
Its titled, Jesus, and has different videos, sermons, Bible Verses, posters, and other stuff.  (Click on the link here to check it out.  Most of it is in Russian, though.)
We watched some of the videos, different people would read some of the verses.  I guess all told it was kinda like a normal church service. 
The kids who live in Safe Haven have Bible studies in Safe Haven throughout the week, and they are a little more interactive there.  But at church, when older people come in and the families are around, most of the kids sit on the outside of the group and almost never speak up.  They are a little intimidated.  Most of them are young Christians, and most of them don’t have a whole lot of self confidence (wonder why?). 
So getting to check out Sergei’s sight was a good way to get the kids involved.

This is Sergei.
It was one of those microcosms for what Safe Haven is.  We are trying to get the kids practical life experience, help them know what it is to be in a family, help them have the confidence to live on their own one day, and teach them to be followers of Christ, and share that faith.
Showing off Sergei’s website on Sunday was a really creative way to encourage him and all the other kids in this way.   I thought it was super cool.  Plus, I follow Russian a lot better if I can read it and hear it at the same time so I got more than usual out of church (Ukrainians speak way too fast).

The power of a hug

Three weeks ago at church, Masha sat next to me.   Masha is ten, has Downs Syndrome and is a fantastic hugger.  She just loves hugging.  So I try to always stop and hug her back.  During the service, she came in and sat between me and her dad, for a while she loved on her dad and then she leaned her head on my shoulder, so I leaned my head over onto hers, and she looked up at me with this big smile.  She reached around and gave me a shoulder hug, and then patted my head, and then rubbed my back for a few minutes.  I didn’t move the entire time because it just felt so good.  It was just simple, innocent affection, and it sent tingles up my spine.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about you need more hugs and back scratches. Human contact is so important.  That’s why I try and hug the kids when we go up to the orphanage.  These are just a few stories of some of the hugs I’ve given and gotten this past month, and why hugs are so imp...

The Costs of Dehumanization

  Our friends, Marina and Ira, have family in Russia.   Not long after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, they spoke with those family members.   Those in Russia expressed their disgust that people in Ukraine were eating children.   Marina and Ira’s reaction was naturally surprise and horror.   In the early days of the war, back in 2014, state-controlled Russian news agencies had started to run a story about a young boy that had been crucified in Ukraine’s eastern territories.  The narrative was that this was what Ukrainians were doing to Russian speakers.  It didn’t take long for the story to be debunked.  But this was primarily outside of Russia, most people within Russia kept hearing this story, and stories like it. Over the years, the stories grew to the point where Russian citizens were hearing that Ukrainians were regularly eating babies.   This is why Marina and Ira were having this conversation.  They told their r...

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain: Why shopping is a pain in Ukraine.

I used to like shopping. I thought it was fun. I love closure, and so nothing was more satisfying than crossing items off a list. I enjoyed the experience of checking out new stuff, looking for bargains, and of course everyone knows that buying stuff feels good.   That was then. This is now. Shopping here is a pain. Let me explain (hey, I’m a poet and I don’t even realize it)! First, we don’t have a car. That means we are at the mercy of public transportation, and so we have to keep that in mind when choosing what store to go to. Is it close to a bus or metro stop? Do we have to transfer metro lines? When we lived in the city center, we were really close to two metro lines. We like this store called MegaMarket, and it was only a few stops away on the metro. So, we would grab our backpacks, walk a block to the metro, go down a ridiculously long escalator, then hop on a metro and ride a couple stops down.   Then we would walk a few blocks and there it was..…Megamarket! Second re...
