Tithe

I was about to respond to a post elsewhere regarding tithing while poor,
as I was typing it I realised the mini-story I was telling was a bit antichurch,
so I backed out and didn't respond. So I'll tell it here.

My father is a very upstanding, though very liberal, SDA. However, he has recently become uncomfortable with the extra pressure put on church officials to tithe EXACTLY their 10% or more as to be an example. He has explained why he doesn't and it wasn't very accepted, so he's protesting by no longer holding any church office, even if offered to him, and explains his position again whenever they try to offer him a position.

He believes that his god wishes him to help family and friends above tithe and offerings, as a result he gives FAR, FAR, more than ten percent of his earnings and his time to people in need, and little or no tithe to the church.

My father is the number one reason I have endless respect for real christians,
even if I sometimes disagree with his giving decisions, it's his choice.

WWJD, motherfuckers.

Symptoms of larger issues

Ok ok ok ok ok, I fucking give.
I can't keep making the same mistakes over and over.
Why do I EVER think I can fix the sleep issue?
Cause sometimes I can, when it's not so severe, maybe.

I keep trying to force sleep into a certain time period,
am too exhausted from said effort to do anything else,
but not the proper tired for bettersleep.

So yeah, fuck it. I'll just let sleep happen when it happens,
if I just busy as possible during my awake and lucid periods,
it'll fix itself.

I've just gotta quit trying to forcefix everything,
and just let some things fix themselves, damnit.
Have faith that my body will sort it out if I quit forcing,
have faith that the universe won't let me die of erratic sleep.

YOU HEAR THAT POWERS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE?
I give, you sort it out, I'm going to wash socks.
