Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
3421. Strange we call money dough--everyone knows dough sticks to your fingers.
3422. We’re living in a land of plenty--everything we want costs plenty.
3423. Some people give God a tenth--a tenth of what they ought to give.
3424. Establish an emergency fund and you’ll be surprised how quickly an emergency develops.
3425. We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we keep.
