   Sad But Wiser   
      
   "I am a sad example of one who   
   decided to quit tithing for just a little   
   while until I could catch up on some   
   of my bills. Well, that little while   
   turned out to be several months and   
   I still haven't caught up. My financial   
   situation has become increasingly worse   
   and worse. The last few weeks have   
   been a nightmare. Financial difficulties   
   have come against me like waves of the   
   sea and all my frantic efforts to make   
   ends meet have been in vain. I am   
   forced to make double payments on my   
   house each month to prevent foreclosure,   
   and to add to all this frustration,   
   my last double payment became lost in   
   the mail (a distance of only 72 miles   
   to its destination). This quickly   
   brought another threat of foreclosure.   
   To top it all off, I am being harshly   
   criticized by my mother for deciding to   
   tithe again. Well, I'm mailing my tithe   
   anyway despite criticism and the threatening   
   foreclosure. I sincerely hope that   
   others will not have to learn through   
   bitter experience that it always pays to   
   obey God no matter what the circumstances   
   are."
