Sparrows are Cheap

No sparrow can fall to earth without the knowledge of God; yet still the Plan dictates that they must fall, or in certain cases be made to fall. One such was an infanticide victim during the early eighties, whose body was discovered in a carrier bag by the local vicar and his wife. So profoundly moved was the community that the child's grave was isolated from the rest on economic grounds; and with similarly British spiritual poignancy, the case is receiving attention again because someone, a teenager when God's will was done, has now been arrested. To prevent the grave becoming completely overgrown with symptoms of common humanity, it was recently found necessary to provide a charity-handout headstone; and although the inscription could be considered unduly sarcastic, it does at least serve as a reminder, for those with eyes to see, of Who ordained the murder from the beginning of time and lifted not a single omnipotent finger to prevent it.
