When Thieves Save Lives
You have probably seen prisoner work
crews working alongside a highway.
While working on the side of the road
repairing concrete medians near Tampa,
Florida, a work crew was approached by
Shadow Lantry, a motorist whose one-
year-old daughter had been accidentally
locked inside the car. The girl’s father had
strapped her into the rear car seat, threw
the keys in the front seat and closed the
doors, not realizing they were locked.
Providentially, these men had experience
getting into locked vehicles without the
key. As the deputies oversaw and Lantry
stood by recording video, they used a
clothes hangar to pop the lock of her
Chevy Tahoe. The child was freed in less
than five minutes.
“Thank God for the criminals in the world,”
Landy was recorded saying. “I respect all
y’all.”
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco
agreed. “There's only a very small
percentage of those criminals out there
that want to fight us and want to attack
us, but a lot of them, like these
individuals, they know they made bad
mistakes, bad choices, but they want to
do the right thing in life.” (From:

rescue/index.html)
We just never know where help is going
to come from. If God can use a talking
donkey (See Numbers 22:21-33), I am
confident God can use thieves to save the
life of a child. We serve a God who turns
bad into good, right before our eyes.
Lord, give us eyes to see your goodness
at work this week.
Have an insightful week!
