Pastor gives his pay raise to congregation (Lead: bills, money)

This is such a good story. I'm not what you would call religious, but this still brings a smile to my face.

THIS is why I love South Dakota. And this is the simple thing I wish our current "leaders" understood. Both the Dems and Republican leaders need to take this lead. IMHO if they had given money to small business owners instead of those wall street companies, our economy would have turned around already...

Great story MJ1986. Thanks for sharing that story! R_Cowgirl is right. Our fearless leaders can learn something here!

Maybe we should all "twitter and facebook" that story, AND send it to our congressional leaders. Think if they got flooded with it they would make the leap? This pastor took $1,100 and pretty much turned it into $10,000 and counting. Our "leaders" take $10,000 and turn it into a dollar fifty.

MJ - what a great story. I agree with all who posted thus far. Our leaders certainly could learn something from this story. I think they need to get it pronto especially after this weekend's vote to increase the debt ceiling !
