  1. Pray for Ukraine. 🙏🏼 This attack is unwarranted, unjust, and unrighteous. God strengthen the Ukrainian people and help them. We all stand before God and give an account of our lives. Putin has a lot to account for. Will he take back Belarus and Kazakhstan as well?

  2. The reporter misspoke when she said there is a myth that crypto currency is un-trackable. Nobody who knows what crypto currency is says that it is un-trackable. It is totally transparent. It even has sites for you to track transactions.
