[Maeve]

I backtrack on nothing. This little girl gets to hear the words from God, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." She's accomplished her work and has done more in the vineyard of the Lord than most. Whether or not we get God's word to us is an entirely different matter.

A revisit to Exodus 12:29 can always stand in the wings especially for a nation that is more than willing to legalize the murder of its own children in the womb. To such a nation, this child is sign, symbol, message, Gospel, warning, witness, and her passing from the world will remind some who have already forgotten that her life was sacred when it was in her mother's womb -- just as sacred as the lives of others in the womb who can be legally murdered in this country.
