I"m glad that the piece touched you. Somehow I had the vision of Pharoah as a prototype for all racists, for all those who try to enslave or do. I am hardly saying that any of us, especially these nine and their grieving families, would have chosen this "escape route" to God. But we know that they are now safe with Christ.

I'm indebted. I don't have a blog, and wanted a way to share my grief publicly while this is timely. Remembering will always be timely; racism never is. It's my prayer that we will learn life-changing, soul-stirring lessons and never tolerate the racism in our midst, in ourselves. Thank you for helping me find a way to honor these nine precious saints who gave the full measure of their devotion to Christ.<br />Thanks again so much for your kindness in sharing.<br />LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
