A well-dressed businessman was walking down the street one morning when all of a sudden, a beggar stopped him and asked him if he had a dollar or two he could spare.

The businessman said: “Look, if you are down on your luck, I’ll be glad to help you, but first let me ask you something. You look like you are in pretty, good health… why don’t you get a job?”-

The beggar answered: “O, I have a job! Actually, I’m an author. In fact, you may have seen one of my books. It was a Best-Seller entitled “500 Ways to Make Money.”

“Well, then,” said the businessman, “Why are you out here begging?” “Because,” said the beggar, “This is one of the ways!!!”

Well, on this Sunday morning before our Commitment Sunday next week, I come to you as a beggar… a beggar for Christ and His Church. With no apology…
