I saw this story and thought that there has to be a sermon in here…but I am not preaching for a little while so I will just post it. I think that this would be a little extreme to do in reality. I think you would have to weigh the cost of a plastic baby Jesus from walmart vs. a trip to Best Buy for some motion activated cameras and a gps unit.
To each their own I guess…and God bless them for doing so because it made me smile today.
When Baby Jesus disappeared last year from a Nativity scene on the lawn of the Wellington, Fla., community center, village officials didn’t follow a star to locate him.
A GPS device mounted inside the life-size ceramic figurine led sheriff’s deputies to a nearby apartment, where it was found face down on the carpet. An 18-year-old woman was arrested in the theft.
I would love to be the one to knock on the door and say, “Could you please give me back my Jesus…I promise you can come and visit him on Sunday.”
