Collection Up For Grabs
A Catholic priest, a Baptist minister, and a rabbi were counting collections
taken during services for the week. They were trying to come up with an
equitable way to divide the money between God and themselves.
The priest said, “I know what! I’ll draw a line down the middle of the
sanctuary, toss the money up in the air, and whatever falls on the right side of
the line is for God and whatever falls on the left side is for us.”
The minister cried, “No! No! No! I’ll draw a circle in the middle of the
sanctuary, toss the money up in the air, and whatever falls inside the circle is
for God and whatever falls outside the circle is for us.”
The rabbi then asked the two other men to accompany him outside. There he
offered this suggestion: “What I would do with the money is this: Toss it up in
the air, and whatever God catches is His and whatever falls on the ground is
ours.”
