Fail.

Yes - that reads just like it reads. Fail.

F-A-I-L

As in I failed last week in honoring my commitment to God on the first day of the week with my first fruits. Heck - I didn't even Cain it last weekend. Nothing. Totally nothing.

The previous week or so, I made some major calculation error on the budget (mostly in my head). Next thing I knew, our bank account... well, it had a decent money number. It's just that there was a dash at the front of said number (and all the digits were red). When I received my pay last Friday, there were other important places that the little we had left had to go. So I had to make an executive decision, and that was to not write out our check this pay period. And I felt (and feel now even typing this) a little shamed. No one to blame but myself.

So I am now in debt to God. I hope his creditors don't call all hours of the night.


(And yes - I TOTALLY see the irony that I said "other important places" and not referring to God. What else could be important, huh?)
