The Book of Revelation Unveiled ------------------------------   This Is the Way... "She's Ours" by Robin Webber Most of our reading audience is familiar with the wonderful story of the rescue of the baby Moses from the waters of the Nile River. It is a story of daring and courage on the part of several parties. It is a constant reminder that parents will go to incredible lengths to preserve their children from the grips of oppression. Moses' name, which literally means "drawn out," also reminds us it is a two-part equation. Someone else on the other end has to be willing to step forward and literally scoop a little life out of the clutches of death. But not everyone happens to be Pharaoh's daughter, and not everyone turns out to be a Moses, and it's not always a little basket of reeds headed down our personal stream of life that demands within us a discerning spirit towards the preservation of a life. Nevertheless, this miracle of courage and sacrifice is borne out generation after generation by ordinary people who perform extraordinary deeds of kindness far away from the banks of the Nile. Such countless events with nameless individuals should continually remind us that it is not the stature of the personalities involved, but the stature of the event which is paramount. Recently, Los Angeles Times staff writer Paul Watson placed a spotlight on such "nameless individuals" and gives us names, a rescue and an inspiring story of courage lived out in the 20th century. In his article "The Heirs of Kindness in Croatia," which appeared in the Los Angeles Times, July 24, 2000, he brings to life acts of courage in one of the most historically troubled sectors of oppression and counteroppression known as the Balkans. What we have witnessed over the last 10 years in this troubled region is only the latest chapter of suspicion, hatred and war that has plagued this area for hundreds of years. It is the story of Croats during World War II who risked life and limb for Serb children adrift from their parents. It's a story over 50 years old, but a story being repeated somewhere today, by someone else, for a little life caught up in the squeeze of history. It may be your story one day. It's worth repeating.
