We used to have a monthly Men’s Breakfast, we used to have a yearly Men’s Retreat.

No more.

I don’t know. I picked up a fairly fierce resentment at mine. I only slightly repaired the relationship because some day my parents will die and I’ll have to show up at the funerals.

I've had a couple of friends who believed they could buy their way into Heaven by donating LOTS of money to their churches.

I felt that way once too. That is a common complaint but although organized religions do need money. In my experience they are about much more than that.

Look at all these TV evangelists, you don’t think they are in it for the money and to stroke their egos
