pyramid scheme

today i received my weekly newsletter email from the wayside chapel.

i have long since been a supporter of this wonderful institution, and am always charmed by the stories pastor graham long has to share in his weekly updates.

today's newsletter contained a particular anecdote that put a huge smile on my face, which is something i needed today.

this was it:

"A fellow told me yesterday that he had just bought one of the
pyramids in Egypt. Today he asked me for $2. Geez, land values must be in serious decline."

i just love that mr. long, a dedicated pastor and activist for the disenchanted, can write about his encounters with such a sense of humour, but without losing his deep compassion.

its almost enough cause for religious conversion.

okay, that's a lie. but i hope it made some of you smile too.
