On The Lighterside

  • One Sunday, while counting the money in the weekly offering, the pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. This continued week after week and the pastor finally spotted an elderly lady handing over another of those "pink envelopes." After the service, the pastor went up to the frail but very well dressed senior citizen and exclaimed, "I could not help but notice that you have been contributing $1,000 a week in our collection plate." "Why, yes, she replied, "every week week my son sends me money and I give some of it to the church." The pastor replied, "That's wonderful but $1,000 is a lot; are you sure you can afford this? How much does he send you?" The elderly woman answered, "$10,000 a week." The pastor was amazed! "Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?" "He is a veterinarian" she answered. "That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money," the pastor said. Where does he practice?" The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada...He has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas and one in Reno."
