Stealing in the name of the Lord

If you add up the cost of all the low-rent ocean resorts in the world, you come up with a lot of cheap sums of beaches.

This leads me right into a favorite topic, namely, the 1001 ways that sum  some people get out of paying a decent tip at a restaurant.  I can't stand it, but read all about it - a new way to avoid what you should pay.   People are leaving what appears to be a ten dollar tip when all along it's a phony with a message about how to be a better person on the other side.
Looks legit....but wait!  There's less!  
John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." It does NOT say "Some things are better than money."
  The flip side.



And to make it all worse, they drag God into it, as if He endorses cheating people out of money they have earned. As the Good Book says in Mark 10:19:

You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'
And I'd love to see them try to cheap their way into a movie or out of a gas station or law firm with some of these bogus bucks.

People who take a fake ten spot and leave it hanging out of the payment folder in a restaurant, only to have the poor server find it's not a sawbuck at all, but a religious tract, need a swift boot in the Galatians.
