Many times we sit and wonder about ourselves..... The how's, why's, when's, and what ifs in our lives.  We regret some decisions we made and we are happy about some of the  the ones we made. We might even have a diary and keep tabs of everything we do daily then do a review of what we should have done and what we shouldn't have done. We could cry or laugh over a thing we did and didn't do well or a thing we forgot to do... However, these are what makes us humans.  We make mistakes sometimes and we get it right sometimes.  We can't always be right even though we strive towards it.  I made a mistake at a time in my life and instead of looking for a way forward,  I thought of what could have been, how I could have been more careful and all then I discovered that I wasn't improving instead I was wallowing in my mistakes and regrets.

000The Trials of Mary-Jane Prologue The aroma from the kitchen was very enticing, it was like that of a sweet savor.

To Tithe or Not To Tithe by Kenneth E. Hagin (culled from Midas touch) Tithing is a thing of faith not law.... From time to time over the years, people have asked me if the practice of tithing is still valid for the Church today. "The New Testament really says very little about it," they say. "Should pastors and other ministers preach and encourage tithing with so little New Testament information on the subject. Should Christians be bound by the Old Testament Law?" It is true that there is very little mention of tithing in the New Testament. Two of the Gospels, Matthew and Luke, report the only recorded incident of Jesus saying anything about it. But in this instance, Jesus clearly affirmed His belief in the practice of tithing: "Yes, woe upon you, Pharisees, and you other religious leaders—hypocrites'. For you time down to the last mint leaf in your garden, but ignore the important things— justice and mercy and faith. Yes, you should tithe, but you sho
