Prenuptial Agreement?

I've been thinking about marriage and the difference between back in my grandparents days and the present. Back then, most marriages went without a hitch and believe or not, love was the bond that kept those couples together. Of course the man had to be the provider and all, and maybe I’m incorrect for this, but I don’t think money played too much of a part in marriage back then.

Fast forward to today. Folks are still getting married and besides love, there’s the other factor you have to consider before attaching yourself to your potential mate: Money. Check this out, though: What if one of the parties were independently wealthy prior to the marriage? What if the individual wants to protect their fortune?

What if one of the parties asks for a prenuptial agreement? Is the requirement for a prenup is a wise decision or a very severe lack of trust and faith in the longevity of the pending marriage?

No Communion Without Tax Refund

Pastor John Goodman of the Houston Unity Baptist Church in Texas told some of his congregation that they could not participate in communion on Sunday without seeing their tax refund information.  The Pastor claims that the building fund is lacking, and he needs the congregation to step up and donate some of their money to rebuilding the parking lot.

Pastor Goodman wants the congregation to participate totally instead of only getting donations from the same few people so this is why he is making such a hard stance on the situation. Would you give your pastor your income tax return information???
