Of Giving

Reverend Philip Lim was speaking on Giving during the 7:30 am service last Sunday, and he made a funny at the start of the sermon. It’s the kind of joke that sticks in your mind. My memory’s a little fuzzy but I think the story went like this:

Two men were marooned on an island with no help to be found. One of them looked pretty at ease and confident they’d be rescued. So the other fellow asked, We’re stuck on this island, no help in sight. Why are you so confident?”

The fellow replied “Well, I make a lot of money, and I give 10% to the church without fail, and it’s a sum of $100,000 every month.”

He paused for a moment, then added “I’m very sure my pastor will find me.”

OK, maybe it’s a corny joke, but I laughed, Ling laughed, so did the people behind us in the pews. If you didn’t find it funny, maybe this one will be better.:)
