Today at church Ken and I took a gamble on the relationship class for Sunday School. Sometimes when we go to this class we find ourselves itching to get out with all sorts of over-shares and girls who think this class is therapy/a place to air all their dating discontent. Other times the teacher uses the time as another lesson about really basic principles such as how to get a date and how to date cheaply and how early to be home. Not the kind of relationship topics I find interesting.
This week they talked about financial management which is a topic I enjoy fiercely. It's amazing to see how closely Dave Ramsey's money advice follows the church's published advice - he and Dr Laura should just convert already.
The teacher didn't disappoint stirring controversy though. She said "A lot of people think paying tithing on your net pay is acceptable. But are those people full tithe payers? No they are not. You are to pay one tenth of your gross pay."
Huh? I'm sorry I wasn't aware that the brethren had made a final, declaratory statement on that subject. It is quite a bold statement for her to make. They're NOT full tithe payers? They're NOT temple worthy?
I disagree. And so do a lot people.
Anyway, not really important but it's been on my mind. Here's to tomorrow!

Those arrangements are gorgeous! Good job. What a fun and rewarding hobby. I hope you made an extra for yourself.
Love the flowers. I'd love to pass that on the way into my kitchen every morning!
Feisty Sunday School lesson indeed.
Thank you so much again. The flowers received many compliments and were the perfect touch to the evening. You're seriously very impressive with your talents.
