A GPS for Baby Jesus

WELLINGTON, FL (WFLX) – Last year baby Jesus got a G-P-S.

This year the Christmas Tree and the Menorah at a Wellington holiday display could also have a G-P-S implant.

The village of Wellington says it’s added even more G-P-S tracking devices to its holiday display, after three years of thefts and vandalism.

Last year, officials finally implanted a G-P-S into the Baby Jesus. That led to the arrest of an 18 year old girl, who deputies say, stole it as a prank.

12-Year-Old Unbroken Prayer Chain

As a dairy farmer, Kevin Jahnke knows all about early mornings, but Tuesdays are a special case.

When his alarm sounds at 12:30 a.m., Jahnke, 42, drives 10 miles to St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fennimore.

For the next hour, he sits in a small chapel, sometimes praying, sometimes reading or sometimes just staring at a wall to clear his head.

At 2 a.m., another parishioner takes his place.

For more than 12 years now, this prayer chain has gone unbroken. Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, someone is always in the chapel.

The effort seems logistically daunting, especially for a relatively small congregation, yet church members say they are driven by a powerful spiritual component.
