A pastor and his wife were robbed during a live-streamed sermon by three masked people with guns. The NYC Police Department said the intruders made off with more than $1 million in jewelry belonging to the pastor and his wife.
What were they thinking!!!
“Okay, before we leave for church, we’ll lock the doors, bolt the windows, and set the alarm. And just to be safe, we will take all our jewelry with us in case someone wants to rob us. I know…we will wear them to church where our address and hours are posted on our website and the service is on YouTube so people know where to find us. And as we say is our mission statement, our door is always open.”
Again. What were they thinking?
“(The) world, I am convinced, could be materially improved, but even as it stands it is good enough to keep any reasonable man entertained for a lifetime.”
