Once took a training session on fundraising. The speaker said, in reference to accepting donations from companies with bad reputations (tobacco, chemical comapanies):

"There's only 1 thing wrong with accepting tainted money--it 'taint nearly enough!"

That's the only thing I remember from the class! If you google "is gamb" then it immediately suggests "is gambling a sin" as the #1 query. Clearly there is much confusionation on the subject and millions are searching for the answer. The lottery is legal but printing up your own funny money is not!

wait just a minute!!!
Are you suggesting that it is illegal to print my own money?

What if you printed it for me????

And you are saying there is a a clear confusion on the subject of "gamb"???

My doctrine on this is" who ever is perfect, let him / her give the most to the pester of yer choice""...
then I include my name and favorite colors.

Good advice...decided to go anonymous! My family bought the ticket so to prevent them from commiting a spiritual infraction, I agreed to take accept the loot.

And Lon, to protect your honor & integrity, just send me a mailing address and don't ask questions when you start to receive piles of cash.

It's so nice to be in a position of offering friends & family support.

To paraphrase George Best: "I'd spend half the money on wine, women and song and spend the rest foolishly".

Poor Georgie - look what happened to him!

SNOW,
my dear friend,
please do not worry about my honor or my integrity, just send the stinking money and let me worry about character, ok???
Lon @ sermonsforchash

I guess, I would pay off my doctor bills now.. ya think??

I've ordered up your very own snow plow/front end loader to save your back from scoopin snow. You will enjoy the new found power the only heavy equipment can convey. Then, I will help you turn your little congregation into one of them big megachurches with attractions that will draw families from Montana & N. Dakota. Think water park, skating rink, billiards hall and shuffleboard court. Your church will be so popular it will sustain itself in perpetuity.

Second time you fooled me. I would by snowshoe some boots, cause its getting deep in here.

Elmer,
shhhh, if she gets wind of your comments she can send a blizzard your way.... it is uncanny how snow can send blowing snow to even the most sweltering climates.......

she had me neck deep in snow the year before last......

Well honestly it's snowing right now and will be sending it to WY soon!
Beautiful spring snow though the newborn lamb looked confused.
