Political Aspirations

So, we had the parliamentary elections here in Ukraine yesterday. So far, from what I can discover we're still in limbo. Sigh. I really think this is a state of being for Ukraine. The way the voting looks now (they've counted about 40%) Timoshenko and Yushenko could come out on top--if they can set aside their differences and form a coalition. Otherwise it is quite possible that Yanukovich could form a coalition with some of the lesser parties and still pull off the necessary majority to gain control of parliament.
So, if you are a praying person--pray. And if you aren't a praying person--pray.
I don't know what to ask you to pray for precisely, but pray. God knows, and He alone knows, how to work this situation out for the good of the people.

  1. for those not into Ukrainian politics (or have bad memories like me) Yushenko is the "goodie" but weak politician (he was the one poisoned at the time of the Orange Revolution)... Timoshenko is the woman who works with him (and she apparently is a bit of a national hero)...
    Yanakovich is the baddie!!! My mother in law says she would use the word evil with him :) that might help with how to pray :)
