Thomas Gür on FB: "What Russians are googling: "A survey conducted between February 17th and 21st—that is, in the week before Mr Putin’s invasion—by the Levada Centre, an independent Russian pollster, found that 43% of Russians between the ages of 18 and 24 wanted to leave the country for good. And 44% of those who hoped to emigrate cited the “economic situation” as their motivation.
That situation is likely to get a lot worse. Western sanctions have created an economic storm: rising inflation, a crashing currency, and imports that are expected to dwindle. Many Russians will soon struggle to afford what they need to survive.
Eagerness to leave seems to be mounting. Data from Google Trends, which tracks how often particular words are entered into its search engine, show that Russian-language searches for “political asylum”, “emigration”, “flights” and “visa” all leapt in Russia in the days leading up to the invasion on February 24th..."

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
Psalms 27:5 ASV
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, remember well these two verbs present in this verse:
1) to keep
2) to hide
God has the power to keep and hide his children redeemed with the precious blood of Christ.
For in the day of trouble
he will keep YOU secretly
in his pavilion:
In the covert of his tabernacle
will he hide YOU;
He will lift YOU up upon a rock.
This is a promise to those
who feel in danger!
So many BTJ partners have responded to the crisis in the Ukraine!

I am seeing a small number of Christians starting to adopt the idea that Putin is the good guy and supporting his invasion of Ukraine. I am seeing an increase of believers saying that Putin is destroying the One World Government, destroying the Deep State, and ending child trafficking.
Personally, from the evidence that I have seen - this is a lie.
Anyone that believes otherwise, I invite you to convince me otherwise.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Pancakes Aren't Fiddly! S4, E36
Pancakes are a great way of having fun while you cook AND eat. And we like them a lot in the BerryBunch household!
We all take part in both sides of the process, but, of course, the ending – and eating – is always the more popular. And that’s just Andy and Jo!
Sometimes it’s good not to fiddle with things – like painting. Paint over the spot too many times, and you ruin your work.
But food? Sometimes a little fiddling as it cooks is a great way to get the best result.
It may not make a huge difference to the eating, but since a picture paints a thousands words, and the proof is in the pudding, the final appearance really does matter!
Just a thought…

It isn’t in Ukraine 🇺🇦. It’s in #Myanmar. More than 700 houses have been set on fire in #Sagaing Division in #Myanmar, including Gwe Bin Kone.
By the way the government of Myanmar is being funded by China and barely ANYONE is talking about it because it doesn't fit with the narrative of what the US is pushing!
so excited about sharing in Stockholm this weekend!
