Three priests back home in Lapland met in an ecumenical meeting. After the meeting was over, they went together to have a cup of coffee before returning to their respective homes. They started to talk about the collect, how they deal with the collected money after Sunday services.
The youngest one wanted to show how clever he is. He told two older colleagues he uses heads and tails method; heads to the God, tails he keeps. Both older gentlemen looked at her amused.
Next distinguished gentleman told two others he belives God lives in the Bible; he drops the money on top of the Bible and what stays on Bible, is for God and rest he keeps to himself. Younger priest looks and says "Awesome! I have to try that".
The oldest from group is even more amused. "You young idiots! I can see your faith is not so strong than mine. I believe God must decide over everything, also how much he wants from the collect. That's why I leave all the money on the table in my chambers after Sunday services, and tell to God in my prayer to take what he needs. When I come to church then following morning, I'll keep the money God has left on the table."
