236 this morning. This morning's passage from My Utmost talked about giving the Blessing God has given you whenever he blesses you. I hope that I do that with the design talents I have. I think that I struggle with working at a church sometimes. It's not particularly where I wanted to be, but it was a job that was there as I was being laid off from another job and it really was a blessing that I got a raise and just a weekend layoff before I started the new gig. I struggle with whether or not I'm a 'member' of a the church I work at and whether that means that I tithe my salary back to the church. Which just goes to say that I have a hard time with blessing. Is it giving back to God that I use my skills professionally? I imagine that sometimes it is. I don't think that that's as far as it goes though. I think it goes much, much further than that. I also think that I'm a long ways from properly understanding that.
Off to work. More later.

I struggle with that too B. There are years I have consistently gave 10% and recently that has not been the case with all money going to medical bills.
In lieu I have started to donate my time more than my money working with outreach and community events.
Christ see's our intent in our heart and our actions. I know plenty of people who claim to be Christian and let lead an unholy live, and non-believers in any religion have the biggest heart in the world for the less fortunate.
