I grew up going to church schools, bi-weekly services, memorizing and reciting (and being punished for not doing) verses, hymns and the like. I'm not whining, it gave me a good moral base for life, but the more I looked at myself and my belief system, I see its all about money.
My parents are still very active in the Church (not Catholic fyi) and give a lot of money. I'm not active, but donate when I'm there. Who gets all the calls, invites and visits by the pastors? They do. Ever hear the story of the "Lost Sheep" I thought the Shephard went looking for the lost sheep. I figure they are tight in the flock and I'm wandering, but no calls to me... Guess I should give more, huh?
