Hello ,
The most versatile of
all crime victims is no doubt this Passiac, New Jersey, man named Maryn. Over the course of five years he endured 83 muggings and was hospitalized 20 times. In achieving that record, he was knifed, shot at twice and bludgeoned with a metal pipe, lost several teeth, and was robbed of $2,000 in cash, several bags of groceries and four automobiles. According to newspaper reports, Passiac police offered Maryn a walkie-talkie as a quick way of summoning help, but he turned them down. "It would only
be taken from me," he explained.
I have sometimes felt like I was the victim of a spiritual crime. With all the things that steal my attention everyday, I have to be VERY intentional about my relationship with God. I have to set aside a time where I can be quiet, alone, and able to open up to my
Creator. Without it, I would soon lose my connection with what is most important to me.
"And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed
and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed." Mark 1:35
Have a great day and God bless!
