It’s funny to learn what subjects generate interest.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a short post wherein I simply asked the question, “Why is the tithe a tenth?” And it is still generating more comments than my other recent posts combined.
It‘s not is my post with the most comments (yet)(as of 3/10/09), but I went a whole weekend without looking at a computer screen (or accessing any of my blog stuff from my iPhone – I bet that’s a record for me), and I return to several weekend comments all on that same post.
I don’t mean to be critical of the commenting, not at all. The comments have, for the most part, been great. I enjoy reading them, and I have learned a great deal from them. I simply posed a question that had been nagging at me for a couple of weeks expecting a few friends to share a few thoughts, but now I’m even questioning some of my own ideas.
Maybe I should write about speaking in tongues, healing, or whether Paul authored Hebrews and really get the fires stoked.
Thank you all who have commented. Please don’t stop.

You know, maybe you would have been better served quoting the great Danny DeVito in “Heist”:
“Everyone needs money. That’s why they call it money.”
See there. It’s sage advice like that… and there you have a lovely post about tithing that not only discusses the pragmatics about tithing, but also misdirects some of those comments to consider the economy instead of keeping their own 10 percent.
Ah, don’t you love it when things work out. Good times. High-five, anyone?

Indeed. I suppose any publicity is good publicity, so if it brings people here, I won’t complain. Thank you, my brother.

Please help me. I’am homeless and in desperate need. I have been homeless 20 years and more since around 1985. I’am slightly handicapped and can find no work or assistance from the government. Please help! To make a donation go to my website, its free, to help at; homelessinamerica.bravehost.com
I apologize if my need seems greater than my thoughts. Jesus would help me.

Charles, I’m always eager to help, but, tell me, where exactly do you access the internet(?) and how is your hosting company paid for?
