Today, we're talking about Vice President Harris' trip to Poland, the pandemic's second birthday,

the economy's performance, and other top stories for Friday, March 11th,

staying informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pourover.

Here's the quote of the day,

the Christian life then is a battle,

so sharp and full of danger that effort can nowhere be relaxed without loss,

Haldrick Swingley.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

Vice President Harris landed in Warsaw, Poland to talk about the growing refugee crisis,

but her itinerary did require a slight adjustment after Polish leadership revealed their plan

to donate 27 MIG-29 fighter jets and have the U.S. deliver them Amazon Prime-style to Ukraine.

The Pentagon rejected the plan almost immediately for fear it would be seen as an act of war,

which left Harris with the awkward task of maintaining harmony between the U.S.,

Poland and Ukraine. During her trip, Russian forces bombed a

maternity and children's hospital in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mary-Upaul.

Harris condemned the attack, which killed two adults and a child,

and said it should be investigated as a potential war crime.

Citizens of Mary-Upaul remain under siege without water, food,

heat, or evacuation routes.

When faced with horrific events like these, it can be difficult to know what we should do or say.

While Christians can find comfort in the ultimate restoration promised by Jesus,

we are called to mourn alongside those that are hurting.
