The discount store in town isn't leaning on their customers to fork it over for that storm

that hit last week.  Few days ago my purchase was $6 and the change went to the charity.  Not this time.  i need gas and am already over budget.  Shoulda just ditched the dentist appointment.  Have to drive tomorrow, that means gas and parking. 

Ccchhhaarrities!  Ya wonder why people bristle, especially when christians??? keyboard shake-down posts.  One guy, seriously, advised not even brewing that morning cup of coffee at home, and drinking just water instead.  Uhm, does he skip his morning coffee or soda-pop?  Why his advice?  Nah, it wasn't about storm victims; it was about padding pulpiteers' pockets.  Even if that means your water bill goes out late...uhm, isn't paying late an act of theft against one's neighbors?

Another scripture-slinger was going on that if you bristle, you are carnal.  Well, welcome to the real (fallen) world, of real (ly fallen) people, buddy.  The Lord expects/commands us to do the freaking impossible, and be freaking cheerful about it.  Say, freaking what???

Next week, will try to do better, and cough up a few more bucks for the storm victims.  Just sign me, almost-oudda-cottage-cheese-and-celery.
