I'm Catholic, convert so that I could Church marry my wife... The Latina.
I joined the Knights of Columbus, I wanted to donate some time and do things for the community.
This church was popular, all mass times were booked solid... Knights wanted to do a breakfast... Pancake Tuesday.
There were a couple dozen Knights working this... an 80++ year old man doing dishes... We were packed... as each mass came out they'd go for pancakes...
A few days later I was at a meeting with the Knights and they boasted that we made, net, $250.00 from the breakfast...
I said loud enough to be heard... Why didn't everyone just pitch in $10 dollars and stay home... I was reminded about fellowship... and all I could think was... I wanted to make a difference... Support some orphanage somewhere... Help non-aborted babies in someway... ANYTHING other than work my ass off for, as a group, to make $250.00
It was the last meeting I went to... I'll just donate to causes I want to and not have my time given to an organization who gets excited about $250.
There is more to say... But I'll leave it at that.
