Cameron Questions the Offering

Once a month, we have what is called "penny march" at church. It's a special offering in which we come forward with coins to place in a big plastic water jug. The money is targeted for a specific purpose every few months (right now, the monies will be used to repair our church van). The offering is designed for the kids, who enjoy coming up and dumping their coins in.

A few weeks ago, Cameron was up there with his friend Lydia. Cameron put his coins in, then watched in horror as Lydia put in a dollar coin. He was like, "Lydia, you can't do that!" He kept peering into the jug and brought the line to a standstill. I know he wanted to get it out but there was no way. He just kept looking in there aghast that she had done such a thing.

The pastor was laughing the whole time as Cameron just couldn't believe one would put a DOLLAR coin in the jug (he had just gotten one from the tooth fairy, so he thought those coins were for more secular purposes).
