Mark's Remarks 3/2

This one very “thrifty” fellow was in from outstate and he wanted to see the Sprint Center. After purchasing his ticket he remained at the box office and counted his change three times.
The ticket seller watched him for a while and finally grew impatient, the “thrifty” man was holding up the line. The ticket seller queried, “What’s the matter? Isn’t the change right?”
“Oh, it’s right,” the man replied, “but only just right.”

Our budget is closely tied to our pledges. If our generous pledges don’t come into the church on a timely basis, we are quickly short. “When we work together and all keep our pledges current, things work well.
