A pastor approached a local farmer on the subject of giving to the church. “If you had £500 and I asked you to give half of it to the Lord, would you do it?” asked the pastor. “Sure, I would,” answered the farmer. “And if you owned two head of cattle and I asked you to give one of them to the Lord, would you do it?” asked the pastor again. “Yes, I would!” came the farmer’s determined response. “And if you had two pigs, would you also give one of them to the Lord?” The farmer then looked rather indignant and replied, “Now hang on a minute, Pastor. That’s not fair! You know perfectly well that I have two pigs.”
