Aileen
thanks to the work of nick Broomfield we can all move beyond Hollywood and towards a better understanding of Aileen Wuornos's story. Tania and I viewed nick's 2nd film on Aileen last night called Aileen - the life and death of a serial killer. I highly recommend it. Actually I recommend our journey - first seeing monster, then the selling of Aileen Wuornos, then finally the life and death of a serial killer.

Anyway...Tania and I wept as the credits rolled at the end of the film. the death penatly for this woman seeming to us completely inappropriate. the weight of abuse and pain that this woman had to endure was overwhelming. if this is life on the earth...if this means she deserves hell for her actions...if this is justice...

we must see beyond. when we look at her whole life we understand. I can only believe God in his infinite wisdom and eternal perspective can look down with kindess and grace upon these his lost, fallen, and wounded lambs. this i pray...
