A Tithing Discussion

The scene: allowance time.  I handed out the money and we talked about how 10% of $10 is $1.  So Genevieve should put $1 in her tithing envelope.

I look over, a moment later, and see her putting $2 in the envelope and she tells me she wants to pay extra:

"$1 for the fast offering... and $1 for the slow offering!"

In our church we pay fast offerings, which are used to fund our church's welfare program/provide food for those who need it.  We fast every month and donate the value of that meal (or much more, if possible) and so we call it a fast offering.  Tithing, on the other hand, I have not heard referred to as a slow offering before.  Viva's brain is a fascinating place to visit.
