I just received a personal invitation from a local church to come attend a special Christmas service. This service would give me an opportunity to win a $1,000 shopping spree. There are give aways for the kids also. The invitation suggests that only the visitors that attend will get the chance to register for the $1,000 gift. There is one $1,000 gift card given at each of the three services. That could really tick off some of the members who feel entitled to a piece of the action.I really don't know whether to laugh or cry. I can see the Pastor and his wife on the post card. They look like a lovely couple and I'm sure that they are well intentioned doing this gimmicky solicitation. In my heart of hearts, I really don't want to come down hard on them. I actually feel for them. This whole thing is so very sad. I don't even know how to comment on this. Maybe someone out there can help me.
