"This is part of an annual epidemic. In New Jersey, thieves made off with 27 statues of Baby Jesus, and in Chicago someone stole 32 plastic replicas of the Christ Child. In Plaistow, New Hampshire, someone filched the plastic Baby Jesus from the front lawn of a home and replaced it with a beer can.More distressing are the actions of those who try to kidnap the real Jesus year 'round and hold him hostage for their own gain. Take the words from the Sermon on the Mount, for instance. We are told, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God," but they are hard to find in these parts. We are advised, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, ... For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also," yet some vigorously ignore that advice. And when told, "Judge not, that ye be not judged," there are some who are ready to condemn immigrants seeking a better life or others wishing to adopt homeless children.
