Here's my 10%...have a great vacation.

I found a church I really like in Tulsa, and during the offering collection, the pastor was talking about how it doesn't matter what you give, but that God pays attention to the little details, i.e. if you give only a little, God will recognize that. But then, he relates this to a story about Disneyworld that he and his family had visited this summer FOR AN ENTIRE FUCKING WEEK. Now, don't get me wrong, that's wonderful and everyone should go to at least one of the Disneys in their lifetime, but during the offering is the Wrong Time to bring it up. We're all pulling out our money, and at least two of us are thinking..."should I give a dollar less so he can't go to Disneyworld next year...?" A week there is like, what, $1200 for 4 people? If I give more, will you regale me with tales of your Bahama trip next summer?

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

...And those who let the door of their shitbox car slam into my Jeep should not leave their windows open. All I'm saying is that I had a half full sippy cup of curdled milk (thank God for toddlers), and it may have gotten dumped in someone's car.
