Distributing food and supplies to this mother and her baby, some of the four million “internal refugees,” as the air raid sirens blared.

FOCUS: Morsberger heard air raid sirens on Ukrainian mission trip

By Emory Morsberger | In Ukraine, I spent a few days helping with food distribution, and meeting a number of the refugees. Most of them were people just like us. I mean, you wouldn’t know them from your average American walking down Peachtree Street. They were disrupted and forced out of their homes, under great pressure, and suddenly ended up in all parts of Ukraine.

BRACK: Viewing dress at the airport, and how to present Georgia’s weather

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Spend time at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and you get to see a continuing distinctive display of people walking by, decked out in all kinds of outfits for their travel. America’s clothing today is a far cry from the once common more formal apparel for airline travel. You see few people “dressed up.”
