Violin

So I have to confess I've been hanging out with a Russian. And the reason I feel compelled to call it a confession is that my last post was all up in the communism mentality. Having compassion and empathy both for historical details from a Russian born person has not been easy.  I am stunned by how the history of Russian has affected generations of beautiful people from a rich Christian culture. There are things I just don't want to know about what people have survived in countries that have been taken over by the value systems that drive communist ideals. I once had a young music student who's mother was born and raised in Russian.  She would drop her talented daughter off to study guitar and voice with me and we would engage in simple conversations about life and all that she was doing.  I was impressed deeply by the moral integrity she showed in relation to her husband.  The Russian people are incredibly loyal, especially the women. Marx and Stalin.  I am just beginning to learn about how and why so many people died in a genocide.  Anyway, Russian violin is amazing.
