Not An Update - But A Prayer

In my local time of South Africa, I woke up this morning to the news that Russia has finally (very unfortunately) began their invasion of Ukraine.

Currently its 5:42pm here and it's positive to say that I probably haven't missed a singular (worth mention) update coming out of both Russia and Ukraine.

From the horror's that I have seen so far take place there ... I'm shocked to my very core. Up until today (even though I haven't been alive for that long) I can say that I've never felt the need to compare any modern 'war' between anyone to the horrific acts that took place in WW2.

Yet today I have nothing else to compare the horrors of today to; if you're sensitive to things that happen in reality, skip to the next paragraph now. It's always been a thing for some reason that very explicit videos reach my inner circle and honestly the videos I've seen today reach the caliber of Northern Africa militias on the front of gore. I am talking blood, severed limbs and burst skulls. It is DISGUSTING.

For myself it's important to remember that it's one thing to write about gore, but it's a whole nother ball game when you second handedly witness it. Its both heart and gut wrenching.

Furthermore, today is nothing short of how WW2 began and even though I am thousands of kilometers/miles away from the ongoing battle, I can't help feel afraid for my family, and quite frankly for every family in the world.

If I have anyone here reading this from anywhere in Ukraine, all I can say to you is that may God and all of his strength be with you. You and your families are in my prayers and will remain there until all of this horror comes to an end.

And finally, to whatever may come from this, if it becomes a global battle ... May God be with the rest of us too.

Stay safe.-
