A Time to Rejoice

Meriam Ibrahim is the courageous Sudanese woman married to an American who has steadfastly refused to renounce her Christian faith despite months in a Sudanese prison with her baby. She was released yesterday and flew to Rome. Her release was accomplished through the steadfast diplomatic efforts of Italy and the Pope. Thank you Lord; thank you Italia; thank you Pope Francis! Meriam - you are one brave soul and that does not go unnoticed in heaven.

As an aside, perhaps I just don't read the right media sources, but this story was conspicuously missing from all the usual suspects. I first saw it at Townhall, linking to the UK Telegraph. I am sure U.S. media were covering other, more important stories. Here's one from Yahoo's headline news roundup right now: " 'Lust, Caution' Actress Tang Weds in Sweden." Yup, only the important stuff.
