Sunday

A nice, quiet Sunday of rest for us.  We watched/listened to two different sermons on-line this morning, and then hit youtube and listened/sang along with some hymns.  We prayed for a few things we have seen either from church announcements, or on Facebook, so that was church this morning.  We could see the top of a church in the distance from our room, so we headed toward that to see what it was.  As we approached the church, we hit a large street market, so we walked through the middle of that, just to see it.  They had everything you might need in the market.  As we approached the church, the market wrapped all the way around the church.  The church had beautiful golden domes like the cathedrals from Kiev, but the building was in a state of declining condition. It did not really even look open, the best we could tell.  As we walked around the church, I wondered if this is what Jesus saw when he approached the temple.  Very ironic(but with no humor associated with it) that the market place wrapped all around the church, and was going wide open on Sunday.

We went to supper with our facilitator, to a Ukrainian barbecue place.  We had some local salads, and pork BBQ, more like shish-kabob meet.  All of it was very good.  Someone asked for a normal picture, not a tourist shot, so here is a picture of Main Street in Romny.
