Gossip and Offerings in the Office

Bishop Dexter walks into the church office and catches Mother Jenkins and Deacon Smooth having

a heated discussion. Mother Jenkins, you know we don't allow gossip in the house of the

Lord. Gossip? Baby, I'm 82 years old. At this point,

I'm just sharing historical facts. Bishop, I was simply telling Deacon Smooth here

about Sister Patricia's new husband. That's husband number five if anybody's counting.

Mother Jenkins, that's between her and God. Well, God might need to

update his filing system because Patricia sure is keeping him busy. Deacon Smooth starts

laughing. Bishop, you gotta admit, Mother Jenkins got a point.
