"...look after the orphans and widows in their distress..." James 1:27 Of the more than 700,000 children in Russia classified as being "without parental care," as many as one-third reside in institutions. Thousands more are temporarily quartered in various public shelters under police jurisdiction waiting for an available space in an orphanage. Thousands of children are abandoned to the state at a rate of 113,000/year.

Sunrise in St. Petersburg
Mornings always come too quickly here in St. Petersburg, but they can be beautiful. This is the scene from my hotel window Thursday morning just as you folks in Texas were heading to bed.
It is getting colder every day, but I have to admit I enjoy it. I just don't want to be here when it gets to minus 30 in another couple months!
