Tithing (n) See also; Amazing, incredible, true principle

I've learned, yet again, that Malachai 3 (See the Old Testament, KJV) is about as straightforward as commandments and promises from the Lord can be. I present for your consideration the following:

It's June / July 2007. I am working as a freelance designer / videographer / artist / ward therapist.  I am poor. 

 For whatever reason (maybe nothing more than a lack of commitment on my part), I got a few weeks behind on my tithing. It was the age old story of "Oh, I owe this much for tithing, I will pay it next week in church." Then, due to various circumstances, I was never in my ward to pay it. I was in various wards for farewells, visiting family, etc.

 I have always known tithing was more about faith than about the money... and that when we pay it, the Lord blesses us—greatly. So, I finally was in my home ward, and paid it. And, here's a list of the results that have happened since:

1) I got two web design projects. Both are fairly big projects that pay well.

2) Dave and I got a videography job for a small company

3) We got in touch with Ted, the promising partner for large projects. We will be starting a large project for a company in Park City within the next week or two.

4) We got hired by the City of South Jordan to work on a campaign to clean up the trash in town. We will be doing TV, radio, print, and web/interactive ads. 

 In other words... The Lord is pouring out blessings that there is not room enough to receive it. Hosanna.
