The pastor stood before the congregation and said;<>
“I have bad news, I have good news, and I have more bad news.”<>
The congregation got quiet.<>
“The bad news is: the church needs a new roof!” the pastor said.<>
The congregation groaned.<>
“The good news is: we have enough money for the new roof.”<>
A sigh of relief was heard rippling through the gathered group.<>
“The bad new is: it’s still in your pockets”<>
