A Note from the Pastor

January 28, 2021 by Ed Vinson in Note From Pastor

Friends,

 

“Truth is stranger than fiction.” You can’t make this stuff up. I have an example of that.

 

This story comes out of Oregon. A young mom pulled up to the door of a convenient store and left the car running while she ran inside to buy a few items. She left her child in the car seat in the back seat.

 

A car thief saw her walk into the store and he jumped in her car and zoomed away. He didn’t get far when he noticed the child in the backseat. He drove back to the store and waited for the mom to come out. When she did, he lectured her on what a bad mother she was leaving her child unattended in a running car. He ordered her to remove the child. She did. Then he promptly drove off. So, who was more ethical?
