The Stoning of Soraya M.

We have no idea.

I'll repeat: We simply have no idea.

I watched a film this afternoon that has changed my life and I'm recommending it to the world: The Stoning of Soraya M. It isn't for the faint of heart so gather up some courage before you see it. It is rated R. It is extremely graphic in its violence.

And it really happened.

And it is happening all over the world; simply change Soraya's name to another.

I'm not even sure what I can write about it. Soraya's story took place in a country where my God is shunned and another is worshipped. Where women and children are treated so unjustly. Where a child is handed a stone and told to throw it at his mother... And he does it. Where human life has no worth.

The thing is, this story could happen anywhere. My country is full of people who worship idols. My generation isn't that far removed from the one where women had no legal rights in this land. And how we forget. And how we take for granted all this freedom. I absolutely believe this: God gives to all. He also gives to some to give to all. My freedom (spiritually, physically, etc.) was given to me to bring freedom to those in chains, to bring a voice to the voiceless, to bring hope to the hopeless. The same Power that raised my Savior from the dead is also in me, and is in you if you know Jesus.

We have to do something.

So what do we do? I have an idea about what is happening now, so God, what do I do??
