Doing God's Work
It was mid morning on a cold December day, when the local toy store was held up. Because it was Christmas season, there were many parents, grandparents, even aunts and uncles there. More importantly, were the poor kids, terrorized by the sight of the man pointing a gun at them. Their fears suddenly intensified, as a crack of thunder resounded through the store, the gunman falling down. Two twin loud noises came right afterwards, with men that had shirts that said Police on them rushing into the store from the back.
A lone police officer with a cross around his neck walked calmly in the front of the store, not holding a gun like the others, but a bible. He waved for the hostages to exit the store behind him, which they happily did. One woman stopped and asked him one question before she left. 'How is it you can do your job following your religion without sinning?'
'I help people,' the officer said. 'What more can I do to help out my god?'

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back it was always yours, if it doesn't it never was.
