The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner."
And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!
Put a smile on your face…and share it with someone today. No foolin’!!! Happy April, y’all!

Most excellent! I like the way that organist thinks!
Would you believe that yesterday at BWTB someone was telling me that the pastor of a local church actually refused to go pray for a friend who is church member who was in the hospital because she was behind in her tithes? That was a jaw-dropper for me!
What did you think of The Harvest? I loved it when it started out but as it went on, I was very disappointed.
Happy Monday. It's hawt down here in south jawjah! Big hugs xoxo
Haha, very creative organist.
