Valuing ourselves

[Leslie Bartlett]

Also, there's the little bible verses about "don't muzzle the ox as it
treads out the corn", and "the laborer is worthy of his hire"...........
Wouldn't those good Christians want to be good testimonies by living up to
their own scriptures, or do they only apply to the preachers??????

Schools and churches are notorious to ask for discounts. I give them a
discount when I'm asked to tune more than one piano in the same building.
But certainly not just because they want me to tune the same piano every
month, or so. 

One way to get around the question of a discount, is when an administrator,
or church secretary, asks for a discount, just because it's a church, is to
ask if they work at a discount. 

Also, when I'm asked if I give church discounts, I tell them that I tune the
pianos at my church as part of my tithing, and that I can't afford to give
to other churches, too. That usually satisfy them.
