Every Sunday morning, TLW (The Little Woman) and me go to Mass, then to a diner for breakfast. It is our time to chat about either the agency we volunteer for or her job, and sometimes we talk about the business world in general.We have noticed the past few weeks that the diner has been very busy: and the church is fuller than it has been for sometime.
Why is that? We think there is a definite correlation for the two.
Times are bad, people are not spending like they used to. There was a time when a couple went out for dinner and a movie. The times they are a changing!
Now, for a cheaper time, people to go church and breakfast! That’s right! They go for the cheaper way to make them happy. A movie can cost over $20 for a couple, add on anything to that such as; popcorn, candy and a soda and forget about it. Then if you were like us, dinner would be over $100 with drinks, not to mention appetizers, and desserts and tip!
Church is what you put in the collection, and $20 to $25 for breakfast and you are done!
In both instances, you go out. You cover a meal and feel you did something. The church/breakfast deal is a whole lot cheaper!
Please remember DD and John, and all those that need our prayers.
