Are there moments when you think God isn't looking? You know, if you just do a little something here and think you are going to get away with it. Well, I have news for you...He is ALWAYS looking!! Yes, every single second of every day.Especially, when you are in church. He sees everything. No dipping your hands into the donation basket or even taking an extra piece of communion. If you're in His house (or not), you must follow all of His rules!
Imagine inviting someone into your home. You have surveillance cameras installed every where, along with signs telling them they are being video taped. Then that someone commits a crime in
Duh! is exactly what I would like to tell the lady in the following story.
WESTBURY, N.Y. (AP) — Nassau County police said a congregant at a Long Island church disregarded at least one of its commandments: Thou shalt not steal. Police said the 46-year-old woman reached over a pew and took cash from a purse while its owner knelt Sunday at Our Lady of Hope Roman Catholic Church in Westbury. Police said an usher saw the theft, and officers stopped the woman as she left the church.
Police said they determined the same woman stole cash from another worshipper's purse while that victim took communion May 10.
The woman has been released on an appearance ticket after being arrested on petit larceny charges. She faces up to a year in jail if convicted.
A telephone message left at the church wasn't immediately returned. The woman's phone rang unanswered.
