I played guitar for this camp but took a few pics just for fun. One thing I realized was how fast time flies! That’s why I like taking photos, you blink and everything has changed 🔄

Had a fun time at the Michigan Renaissance Festival last weekend. The jousting is always fun and there were some swordsmen that demonstrated how knights, pikes-men, and soldiers fought in that era. It was pretty interesting 🏰 #renaissance #renfest #knights

A throwback to an event for special needs children in Ukraine. It’s really amazing because if I remember right it was in a government building in downtown and it was the first time a church was able to do an event there for the kids. In the soviet times, something like this would’ve been unthinkable because it was an event put on by a church and your value depended on your work to the state. Special needs people thus were of no use. I remember one story that was told to me about a special needs child in the soviet times who was hidden away in the apartment building. The child could never go outside but could look out the window. One day I think it was amnesty international or some organization came and asked the child if they had any wishes that they could make come true, the child said yes just one, to go outside and see a train. Apparently trains would go nearby and make the train sounds but they couldn’t be seen from the window. What a simple wish that most of us wouldn’t even consider. Anyhow, it was great to be part of this amazing celebration and thanks to my friend Sveta and Emmanuil church for this event and remembering that everyone is valuable!

Just moments ago. I was in my apartment when I heard a loud explosion. I could tell right away it was a bomb blast. Then there were three more in rapid succession. I tried to eliminate the possibilities...was it construction work? Perhaps thunder? No, I knew these were cruise missiles raining down. The apartment I’m staying in is near the train station. My friend, who is staying next door, confirmed it. He saw black smoke rising from the direction of the train station. My friend has experience in these matters and knew that the strike was over so we went to investigate. As we crossed the road we were wondering, was the main terminal hit? No, we could see that the main terminal was ok, seemed like the blasts were somewhere behind there. Mind you I just passed through this station just yesterday. But as we got closer my heart sank. I saw black smoke coming from downtown, around the center of town. I was just there this morning and yesterday. So many people walking around enjoying the nice weather. I was devastated by what I saw. Russia will regret this and all the damage they’ve done and the innocent people they’ve killed. Russia has no place in this world. #ruscism #russiansarekillers #prayforukraine #justiceforukraine

Scenes from Ukraine1. Burned and destroyed cars from the Russian occupation2. Shot windows of a residence complex where my friends lived3. The husk of a completely destroyed Russian vehicle4. Ration boxes of the Russian army. The Russians were here for a temporary time before they were destroyed and then retreated to Belarus and Russia5. I’m holding a spent casing of a large caliber gun6. Burned and destroyed building in Irpin. Virtually every building in this city, just 10 miles or less from Kyiv, was ruined or damaged#warzone #standwithukraine #prayforukraine #destroyed #war #zombies #orcs #russianaggression #denazifyrussia #russianarmy #ration #ruscism
