For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

This could probably be cross-posted to the MOTCOJCOLDS in the News thread, but this article in the Wall Street Journal today talks about two Americans who have been in Ukraine fighting and providing training on the Javelin missile to the Ukrainian military:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/ukraini...hare_permalink
It has this little gem at the end of the article:
The two Americans—who are Mormon—met at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel in Lviv, Ukraine, and ended up connecting informally with a Ukrainian Marines brigade operating out of the southern city of Mykolaiv.
The Mykolaiv Marines welcomed Anton, Mr. Hayward and a handful of American and British veterans with Javelin experience. Anton, unlike other foreigners, didn’t have any military experience, but the Marines took him anyway because he is a competitive shooter and, more important, speaks Ukrainian and Russian.
Neither Mr. Hayward nor Anton received any formal paperwork from the Ukrainian military, or signed any contract. This week, following an informal referral from the Mykolaiv-based Marines, Anton and Mr. Hayward moved to the Zaporizhzhia region to hook up with the 128th Brigade. They started off by “fixing” three supposedly malfunctioning CLUs after realizing a mistake in the brigade’s translation of the manual.

Absolutely. They are all heroes.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View Post
Still, there are brave Ukrainian pilots who gave their lives defending their country. Very brave, and very sad.
One guy shooting down 40 jets in air to air combat just seems too much. But you never know."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I see these types of reports pop up in Twitter about fires at plants and such around Russia. The suggestion is sabotage by Ukrainians. Seems like a lot of bad stuff happening to be just coincidence. Or, Russians have terrible safety protocols and this is normal. This one is way out in Far East Russia, so it seems a little too remoate to be Ukrainians, but who knows.
