I can't avoid seeing parallels here during Lent. Sometimes this woman (speaking for myself, won't speak for others) feels like she doesn't count for as much in the Kingdom as men. Mary was chosen as the first witness. Here is a modern woman who has evidently been chosen as a witness in a dark world and, to me, God worked a miracle through her. If you don't buy the miracle part, we can compromise on blessing that no more people were killed by this individual.
He could have chosen a Baptist preacher, but he chose her.
Of course, scoffers will say it was random (kinda was or was it?) or tarnish her reputation, whatever. He brought some good out of this horrible evil.
I wish her the very best
I do as well. She hasn't had an easy life it appears. We all make mistakes and some learn from those mistakes and some don't.
Can't say I learned anything from reading "The purpose driven life" though. I read it and almost every page make me think, "well, duh!" - but then again I read a lot of Catholic stuff, so "The purpose driven life" wouldn't be anything earth shattering for a Catholic I guess.
