Brother, Can You Spare a Prayer?

The mockingbird media continues running days or weeks old stories of the Russo-Ukraine war. From the same few sources. Bing may be the worst. Go there and type in “Putin is winning” - and watch what happens.

As a separate but not unrelated story to the war in Ukraine: my wife is a salaried RN with the third largest home health care company in America. Or I should say “was”. The company just eliminated her salaried position and is now going to pay her *per visit*. Which will entail a roughly 21% cut in her pay.

Medical care in the US is largely controlled by the government and insurance companies. And though her company has been unrealistically raising the performance bar for its field staff the last six years, I don’t think the timing of the pay cut is mere coincidence.

Job losses, pay cuts, rising prices, rising taxes…. It’ll probably come down to us having to choose between going hungry or cold. We’re in deep trouble.

Time to pray AND fast, friends. For ourselves, our families, our friends, our countries. Now more than ever.

“Where there is no prayer and fasting, there are the the demons.” - Theophan the Recluse
