AMES, Iowa – Second-degree burglary charges have been filed against an Ames man who broke into a church where he allegedly used the institution’s electronic equipment to watch pornography. Police allege the 55-year-old man broke into the First Christian Church on Thursday. After gathering items from around the building, he is believed to have gone to the basement to spend the night.
Police summoned to the church Friday by staff, found the man trying to haul away a garbage can filled with food, kitchen utensils, clothes, electronic equipment and a 26-inch flat-screen television.
Police Cmdr. Mike Brennan said the man used the electronic equipment to watch pornographic movies that were found on him when he was arrested.
The man was being held at the Story County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond.

“let them who are without sin… be the first to cast another stone at this fool”. You see, the Church is a building that all manner of sin is being brought and,stored for “The Judgment.” This building is re-enforced by the forgiveness and, the love that is in you for another. Everyone of us knows a horror story filled with shame and kept secret a time… remember? But, don’t worry babies “God has already forgiven this poor fool,and you too! ..no matter how great the folly or, insult! God’s love is so great,powerful, and healing for everyone. See!

Before we are quick to cast judgment has this individual had a mental health evaluation and are there other circ**stances that may have led up to this i.e he could be a registered sex offender and may of not had nowhere else to go so before we cast judgment let’s look into our own closet and at least try to understand where this man is/was coming from.
