It's one thing to declare the ideal situation, where every wage-earning family contributes 15% or more of their gross income, 10% tithe going to the pastor and 5% offering to run the church and everything else. It's another story when a pastor has to decide whether to cash his check or keep the pipes from freezing in the church.
Pessimists and Realists are simply Optimists and Idealists with experience. We need a "smirk" smiley for when I say things like this.
