Book Review: Tithing...test me in this by Douglas Leblanc

Book Review

Tithing by Douglas Leblanc

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, 

that there may be food in my house. Test 

me in this,' says the Lord Almighty, 'and   

see if I will not throw open the floodgates 

of heaven and pour out so much blessing   

that you will not have room enough for it."

- Malachi 3:10

In these uncertain economic times, does it really

make sense to tithe? 

Douglas LeBlanc thinks the answer is clear enough

in Malachi 3:10, where God goes so far as to tell us,

"Test me in this" The people profiled in this book   

have done exactly that- and the effect on their lives

has been dramatic. 

In these intimate journalistic portraits, LeBlanc

shows us true tithing in action. From members

of the clergy, to best selling authors, to social activists

both conservative and liberal, these are the lives 

of real people who tithe in joy and plenty, in the

face of poverty and natural disaster, in community

and missionally, and as a spiritual practice comm

anded by God. They come from different back

grounds and live in varying degrees of financial

comfort; but they all tithe and wouldn't have it any

other way. Through their eyes, we come to under

stand this ancient practice as God's call to a life of

generosity, joy and compassion.

Our Review: 

I can truly attest to many blessings we've received

through regularly paying our tithing honestly.Reading

through this book reminds us of what's important to

give back to Heavenly Father. All that he asks is 10%

back of every check that you get and how can one

say, no to so much blessings?

I've seen the days that we don't pay and you can 

truly feel the difference. For instance, we are self  

employed contractors and on a good week will get 

a job or two when we pay our tithing. If something

comes up and dh decides that we can't pay it and    

some other bill gets paid. The phones won't ring and 

his bids won't go well. So from then on we made   

sure to pay tithing first before anything else, no matt

er what our situation.

Consumer Tips: Reusing Newspapers

Do you have tons of newspapers lying around

 after picking out your coupon inserts and what 

nots?

I do, in fact it's around 10 or more

and it drives dh nuts sometimes because it 

ends up sitting there for the whole week un

til I toss it in the recycling bins at our comp

lex. I knew of one way to reuse them, which is

  using them to wash windows,glass surfaces &

mirrors. Our monthly newsletter from the office 

 highlights more uses for recycling yesterday's 

news which I'd like to share with you today. 

WAYS TO REUSE THE NEWSPAPER

1.] Paper packer- Use it as extra cushioning

when sending out your next packaging. saving

you money from paying them to package your

items then sending. This works great for me   

when sending off items for giveaways!

2.] Eliminates Odors- This one is my fave. 

Place a couple of pages on the bottom of your

kitchen trash bag to absorb spills and smells fr

om any leaks or tears in your garbage liner.

3.] Helps Ripening- Use it to wrap fruits & vegs

that haven't matured yet. Why? The ethylene gas

emitted by produce is trapped by the newspaper  

which helps it to ripen more rapidly. 

4.] Peeling Platform- Use a layer or two on a flat

surface (kitchen counter top or table.) to place the 

peelings from carrots, potatoes, etc. After peeling, 

simply fold up and toss!

5.] Reduce Moisture- Line your crisper drawers in

the refrigerator with newspaper to absorb moisture

and wipe out odors. 

6.] Footwear- Drying out wet shoes? Stuff them w.

bunched up newspapers to help absorb the wetness

and help your shoes to dry faster. 

Do you have tips for reusing the news? We'd love

to hear it!

Mamavation Monday: "Move It or Lose It" Challenge

#Mamavation Week 4 Post

Welcome to another week [#4] of Mamavation 

"Move It or Lose It" Challenge..I'm following  

along with the ladies in the actual challenge and

shooting for a goal weight of 150 from 300. 

Last week I weighed in at 301 and was determined

to go down from there and continually be moving 

and eating small meals and snacks 5 times a day, 

and no eating after 6 pm. 

Before I wouldn't eat

breakfast and didn't snack throughout the day, ther

efore leaving me hungry and ravenous by the end  

of the day eating whatever was in front of me and 

not keeping a food journal to document all that I was

consuming on a daily basis.

So now if I can I'll wake up and go on an early morn

walk before I get the kids off to school and a bowl of 

Kashi Cereal and either Silk Soy or Silk Pure Almond

Milk with a fresh fruit. Snacks are either a Kashi bar, 

fresh fruits and vegetables. As that is what we only ha

ve stored in the kitchen now and tons of cold tap h20.

About 6 16 oz. of water in a Nalgene bottle from Brita.

which is about 96 oz. of water. I should be drinking 

more according to my bmi.

Week #4 Measurements: 

BMI: 43.9 = [Dangerously Obese]

L. Arm: 17.5    R. Arm: 17.7

Hips: 53.5   Chest: 49.4 

L. Thigh: 30.5   R. Thigh: 31

 Previous Weight: 301  Current Weight: 297.6
