Ooo MY!! UPC Pastor Orders $400 Lobster Dinner!!!! what do you think?

[Bishop1]

Let Me Try To Inject The Following ;

I believe it was a Revival in 1967 when we had a young
Evangelist come to our Church.

They had driven about 500 miles to Preach a 2 week revival
for a neighboring Pastor and stayed with him for a week after
that revival was over because their next Revival was an
additional 3 weeks away -

Learning of this, we decided that we could use him for at least
one of those vacant weeks and if things went well he could
preach both weeks -

Things went smoothly on the 1st night and I felt real good about
the spontanious usage of this young couple that I had just met -

Tuesday and wednesday came an went real well but On thursday
afternoon he came to me with a pressing problem -
He Said That They Were In Desperate Need Of Two Hundred Dollars
{$200.00} And That He Had To Have It Right Away -

Not wanting to pry, {thinking maybe it was somepast due bills such
as Insurance or Car Payments, or maybe medical bills}, I handed him
the $200.00 that he desperately needed and he left.

Later that night as we were eating in a Restaurant He Proudly showed
me his Brand New Alligator Shoes That Only Cost Him $200.00 and My
What A Bargain, He Said -{ keep in mind that it was the year of 1967 }

After the Sunday night service had ended I took him with me into the
office and said, " Let's Settle Up For This Week " and then I Gave Him
A Brand New $ 50.00 Bill -

Stunned and Puzzeled,
He Just Looked And Looked At That Brand New Fifty Dollar Bill -
BUT Before He Could Say Anything I Replied;

" If You Or Your Wife Get Hungry

Or Run Short Of Funds During This Next Week

Just Look Down At Your

Brand New $200.00 Alligator Shoes

And Say "

" MY, WHAT A BARGAIN " !
