Heartless thief robs NYC church of $3K gold-plated rose forged from 9/11 debris — but pastor prays he doesn’t wallow in jail

True: He should rot in jail.

Regards,

Our church has a large concrete statue of Jesus in a garden area next to the church. There are are couple of benches, flowers, etc.

The statue was defaced a few years ago, the vandal(s) breaking off the hands of the statue.

Rather than repairing the damage, our pastor instead had a brass plaque created and bolted to a boulder in the garden.

I don’t recall the exact wording, but basically the text relates to forgiveness, and more importantly- that we were put on this earth to do God’s work - we are his hands. The statue remains unrepaired as a reminder.
