Pastor Randy will kill me if he sees this but I had just had this funny conversation with Chandler on the way to church about the offering.... (something like this)

Chandler: what is the difference between the pastors at our church and the volunteers who help like you and Mr. Mike?

Me: Well, the pastors work all day at the church for their job and the volunteers just help and have other jobs to make a living. That's why we give tithes and offerings to the church, so that the pastors can earn a living for their family and for the church to have money for other things.

Chandler: (with great indignation) I thought we were giving that money to the Lord!

Chandler: (with additional indignation) What does Pastor Randy do all day?

You can imagine how funny it struck me to walk into the church office two minutes later to find Pastor Randy sitting at the pencil sharpener. He was covering for the (yet to be installed) new youth pastor and was sharpening a package of pencils for a youth activity and was kind enough to flash the charming smile that won his wife's heart.
