Everett Leon-Guerrero: What kind of person breaks into a church?

Frustration, lack of understanding, lack of morals, etc. – rhese are emotions that come to my mind when I wonder how low a person must go to break into a church. Church of the Cross (at Dale and Snyder) has had numerous break-ins that truly make no sense. For that matter, breaking into any business or home doesn’t make sense. Windows broken, property damaged, violation of one of Gods’ worship houses – how can this be?

It all starts at home, how a child is brought up. If you are going to have them, then take care of them! I pray for our country and even the burglar who vandalized our church. .

Everett Leon-Guerrero, Elder, Church of the Cross, Modesto
