Taking It to Work: I don’t know if this is Christ-like, but I love this guy, Mark Rober on YouTube, that puts packages on people’s porches as bait for these crooked thieves, known as Porch Pirates, that routinely steal other people’s packages from outside their homes.

Taking It to Work: In general, it is not until later in life that a son or daughter will truly appreciate what was done for them when they lived at home with their parents.
