Does anyone know if you're supposed to pay all of your new job's first wages as tithes or just 10% like normally???

The Lord leads, but, yeah, besides praying abut things of that matter, I think, Scripture says 10 percent is a good rule of thumb. One other thing: be a cheerful giver, Scripture DOES say this :)

Hmm. That was...informative.

And also still...ambivalent.

Just one day at a time, I suppose. Meh.
Sho-Bro, Could you be a bit more vague, please? :confused:

Do churches care about Christians singles over 40? Hmmmm... Sadly the answer is often no. :(
Ugly is right - - it's not just an over 40's thing. Many churches don't seem to acknowledge singles once they are past college age. I am sorry you are experiencing this. I've begun saying "no" to things my church has asked me to do so that I have time to attend a few singles functions at a larger church the next town up. Maybe you can do something like this or look online for Christian singles events and fellowship.

Leaving my baby's due date up to God was awesome, and now we're not waiting for it anymore. My little Adrianna Rose was born at 7:39 this morning :)
Congratulations! I love the name! :D

I wonder what it takes to get a video to get so popular. I mean, I guess you have to be consistent with video uploading...but...I dunno. I'm an impatient person. I guess I feel like I wish more people were interested in my videos. But everyone always wants to hear someone sing. It's all about your vocal skills. Never your instrumental skills. But maybe I need more practice, more lessons to REALLY get myself out there.

*Sigh* God's timing. Not mine. I could be frustrated and anxious till the cows come home (you learn those saying when you have older parents) and it'll never do anything.

In addition to that...I know it'd probably help to smile. But my problem is I get so concentrated that I just end up looking something like a serial killer playing guitar in my videos. Maybe THAT'S my issue...

My first suspicion was sadly right, he is a total pervert, and my sister believes he probably old as well.:(
ewww....sorry this happened to you. And old? I'll bet he was like, 47 or something! oh wait....

I'm sure God will honor your decision either way. The Lord leads (sorry, Green. You don't own that! :p)

Mia. We met for dinner last night. I could totally be wrong about her ambivalence...because if my history has proven anything at all (other than the fact that I am a blithering nincompoop), it's that reading women is a skillset I lack so poorly that it cannot be described adequately by the English language.

History has also proven that I am prone to excessive hyperbole, but that is neither here nor there.

Sometimes, I sit here and totally zone out, and then realize I'm drooling on myself.

And then I'm like, WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!

*Note- It turns out that I wasn't actually "zoning out" at all, but sleeping sitting up in my chair. I only drool on myself during waking hours as a party trick.
...why don't I just shush sometimes?

shobro and I got something in common there, I blither and blather too , around girls I've gone out with, I like to THINK that I was just being shown that they were not right for me. LOL, catfrenchhorningherder, I would like it if we all used 'The Lord leads' more as a whole. They are three powerful words for me , they help me keep God focused on. I say them as much as I can think of saying them during my day and He leads me :)

00-00-00-00--00

I used to play cards with my cousin, she was like smoking me at 'gin.' It a fun game , just so you know, and, shobro, maybe, learning 'gin' could be a good way to have a date, you could break out the cards at the date table and, the Lord leads, she just might really like cards :) But, that's not what I was saying here, truly, what I was saying is that I got tired of getting beat my 10 year younger cousin so I went and got a book of Hoyle on cards strategy and read the gin section and went back and played my cousin and I began to win some of the time. It was more fun for her and me really although she didn't mind my losing all the time, I guess, she wasn' the one getting tired of playing , I was. But, after I read that Hoyle book it was fun again, for me :)


Now, I say that because sometimes we don;'t think things are something we do good and in that case , no matter what is is , we need to figure out ways to get better and though I didn't mention God in getting better at gin that is what I mean, we need to ask God 'God, how can I improve at this area of my life.' And , whether it's singing or drumming or french horn playing learning or what the shy-pony-boy whatever, we need to bring our voice to God for His 'lesson' for us to understand His orchestration and the result of our faith in what He pushes us toward will be instrumental in making us take that next step, that blesses us and gives Him what He wants us to give Him, all the glory told of Him moving us along that road :)

You smiled fine in that video, littleChristone, it seemed to me you were really concentrating on doing the piece and that's acceptable understanding for smiling less, but, yeah, you still smiled, milady . The Lord leads, just realize that you're wanting to bring others to Him and your work, whatever it is, will, a little more, with a joy shown others in what you do, giving Him glory :)

Yeah, happens here a lot. Even among some of the regulars.
Far as his age, your sister makes a lot of assumptions she can't prove. There are plenty of young perverts out there too. Of all ages.

Tithing at 10% was a temple tax in the Old Testament and is not a valid New Testament issue. It was payment to the priests. There is no set specification on giving. You give what you can afford, or feel is right to give. God wants a cheerful giver, no one feeling bound to give up money they don't want, or guilty because they can't afford it. If you think 10% is a good idea, then go for it. If not, then go with what you feel is right.

Thank you :)

I think I was just trying to say that I hope people see Christ's love in my words and actions, along with all the other weird stuff I say/do.
I think they do, for God is maturing you as you see more and more to trust God in all situations. It takes away the stress, and then we see and react accordingly as we learn truth from God, whom is our teacher Hebrews 8

2 Cor. 8, 9 and ten to me answer the tithe issue. That we are under the heart of giving, to give what we have, and that could be anywhere from 1% to 100% as God purposeth in your heart. Not necessarily to a Church either, could be neighbors that you know are in need and God leading you to secretly give
Matthew 6:4 that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Alms is not limited to money, much deeper.

You are right. He might have actually been young, it just easier to assume he was older. Initially I thought he sounded like he was young , but then again he could have been older who knows.

I want some pomegranate...but first, I need to rid of (actually eat) the apples and oranges in my fridge before I buy a single fruit.

McDonald's is officially the worst. If you have gluten or dairy allergies, stay away.
