How many times do we miss the face of Christ in our lives? Oft, we expect Christ to appear in the good fruit of the earth, like in healthy strong clean peoples personifying God’s blessings. Yet, that old scraggy stooped unwashed smelly old bum might have been the face of Christ… infers Ayub Chege in this recite of encounters with Christ.

Theft classes are famous for being court ordered punishments or obligations. What many don’t know is that they also aid in diversion for troubled individuals who just need help, rather than punishment. For these individuals, theft diversion programs are necessary to learn from their mistakes and keep from making the same ones again later on in time.

Theft classes have been used since the idea of theft protection has been around. The bottom-line before taking any theft prevention is, this question: can theft classes really help? They have evolved from simple law men teaching what to look for in their own towns, to professional classes that can help both the victim and the perpetrator. Theft classes teach specific ideas that, when implemented, can have a serious impact on preventing theft and helping thieves to fight the urge to steal.

I am an instructor for both court and probation approved classes here in my local jurisdiction. Most of the participants that call to come in for a class do so because it is some form of a requirement from either the court, probation, or a diversion program. I always interview those attending classes and ask what it was that they stole and why they did it. The answer to these two questions varies greatly from person to person. Some steal for the thrill of it, while others claim to do it out of necessity.

What is stealing? Say when a person takes something that belongs to another person without permission that is stealing. We’re not talking about in sports; where it a good thing when you steal a base like in baseball. Steal the ball like in basketball. My friend further more that action could lead to winning the game and thus being greatly rewarded.
