Does God Get Your Best?

It's an old story, one I heard as a boy. About the turn of the 20th century, a missionary who was working in Central Asia saw a mother of twins, both babies under her arms, walking slowly, deliberately towards the river. Understanding the local belief that twins were cursed and that one should be sacrificed to the gods by throwing it in the local river, he wondered if this fate was in the mind of the woman who walked so slowly that morning.
