Offertory Thought October 11, 2009

In prep school on Wednesday afternoons we received our weekly allowance of $3.00 to enjoy during what was called our “downtown time.” The allowance was to last the week, and might buy lunch at Friendly’s, or a movie, an ice cream sundae at the State Street soda fountain, or maybe even buy a gift for a friend or pay for martinizing. Few of us had any notions about not spending every last penny of that allowance. I am just about 100% sure not one of us kept a portion of that allowance to place in the offering plate at the churches we were obliged to attend every Sunday. Hmmmmm!!!???
