Don't Move, and I'll Let You Breathe

Heard a great story of good triumphing over evil this morning.

Randy Fennig pastors our United Brethren church in Springfield, Ohio, and is preparing to head to Sierra Leone as a missionary. This weekend, he and his wife visited a daughter in Spain, while their two sons stayed back in Springfield.

A career criminal broke into the parsonage. He disturbed the cat, which woke up the sons, both of whom are wrestlers. They apprehended the criminal. One son put the thief in an illegal wrestling hold and told him, "Let me offer you an arrangement. If you don't move, I'll let you breathe."

The guy was evidently still breathing when the police arrived and hauled him to jail.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
