SUNDAY OFFERING….
July 15th, 2005
One Sunday after services, three Priests were
discussing how they determined how much money
they keep from the collection plate and how
much they give to the church. The first Priest
said that he put all of the money in a basket,
drew a circle on the ground, and then threw the
money up in the air. What fell inside the circle
was his to keep, what fell outside the circle
was the church’s. The second Priest said that
he too put all of the money in a basket and threw
it up into the air. What he was able to catch
inside the basket was his, and what fell to the
ground was the church’s. The third Priest remarked
at how similar his method was to the other two,
where he also put all of the money in a basket.
And he too threw the money up into the air. Then
he motioned upwards and said, “What he wants, he
keeps!”.
