   "How Your Financial Future Is Determined"   
   (continued)   
      
   I just read "How Your Financial   
   Future Is Determined." Fantastic! This   
   was something I really needed. I have   
   been unemployed for too long and I need   
   to step out on faith and get a job.   
      
   Enclosed is an offering and tithe on   
   the few dollars I made on the sale of   
   some products, along with a commitment   
   to get a job tomorrow or at least make a   
   full-time job of getting a job, or turn my   
   selling profession into a full-time job by   
   going out and doing it.   
      
   I have got to be prudent and produce   
   for my family and God's work. I have   
   been on welfare and unemployment for   
   too long now and blaming "back prob-   
   lems." The problems are real -- but not   
   real enough to keep me down unless I let   
   them.   
      
   Mr. Armstrong said: "It is not good   
   for a person to get something for noth-   
   ing, or for very little effort. This evil   
   human urge to GET without giving -- to   
   receive without paying -- is the very   
   thing in human nature that produces criminals."   
      
   I have got to stop getting something   
   for nothing and start producing. As I said   
   before, I commit to do this in writing as I   
   send my first check for tithes and offer-   
   ings of many more to come.
