Looking for Divine Nobodies

This thought comes from mulling over the sermon of two weeks past. Our guest preacher was a lovely guy Barry Grecu of Ministry Emmaus Inc, of Atlanta.
I liked his motif of a 'divine nobody.' People who have quietly, persistently, maybe even invisibly impacted upon our lives and our lifecourse leading to a deeper and closer encouter and journey with God.
It seem close to the premise of Mitch Alblom's magnificent novel 'The 5 people you meet in Heaven.' That the unknown quantities in your life, footnotes, passers by, observers may be much more significant than we could ever realise. So I will be looking out for them and hoping that I too may be impacting, may be just a ripple that forms a wave and then tide of change.

More unbearable infanticide

Its seems the brutality towards our young is on the rise. I'm thinking of the double murder of the Tamil children in London and the death by starvation of the 7 year old Indian girl in Birmingham.
How can this be happening? Are we simply seeing the media mining a theme here and grisly child murder stories that otherwise wouldnt make through the newsrooms are now flagged up for public consumption?
