I hate having credit card debt and try to keep my balances at zero. But over the past couple months I ended up putting some charges on the card. A little bit here, and a little bit there, and before I knew it my balance was up over $1200. But for a couple weeks last month the project I'm in charge of has been really busy and I was given approval to work and charge overtime. My overtime pay will come to just over $1200.
It's amazing. I don't know how to explain it. I would consider going back to church if not for the fact that I haven't paid tithing for over 5 years.

Man, you had me going there. I was thinking this had the makings for a real faith promoting Fast and Testimony meeting special experience story. It would still work if you left off the part about not paying tithing for 5 years. You could look at it this way, that some things that are true are not very useful.

That is an excellent point. If I send this story into the correlation committee, it could be used in lesson manuals because they could just leave off the last sentence.

Hey, same with me!
I've recently just had 2 moonlighting projects come to me that will end up paying right around $5,000!
Gosh, and I haven't paid for over 2 years.
I'm sure I'll have a $10,000 medical bill at some point and then everyone can cluck their tongues at me and say, "If only he'd paid his tithing..."
