  1. Yikes. We don't do tipping so much here in Australia. But that does seem a little low for the amount of effort! (Jo)

  3. That's a lavish tip for a post Bible study meal. Normally they stiff you. Because, bootstraps. I love the title of this. Christ would not recognize what they've done to his teaching, and yes, he would be tear gassed and recrucifyed if he mentioned that camel going through a needle's eye. Prosperity is just a pretty label for greed.
