From a friend:

Last week her friend had a cat for many years and it finally died. Because the friend was ederly, frail and lived in a unit she couldn’t bury the cat in the backyard so she placed the dead cat in a box and wrapped it in brown paper with string around it. The idea was to place the box in the waste bin art the local shopping mall which is emptied every day. She placed the box on the back seat, drove to the shopping mall and parked. A few teenage kids were nearby. She was worried that she would get mugged and forgot to lock the car as she did her shopping. When she came back her car had been broken into and money stolen from her glove compartment … and the box was gone! I’d like to see the thief’s face when he opened the box.

Churches are like that box. You never know what you’re gonna get.
