and i don't believe i did either - and if i did that
is not what i desired to share - 

when we give we give from the heart, not the law -
never the law - if we are to be cheerful givers we
need to do so with a smile and not a heavey heart - 

if you feel God is telling you to give 50 bucks a week
to the church, but you decide to give 75 you are
violating God's touch on your heart - God may have
other plans for you and that other 25 - for example,
you see an old friend who is hurting and in need. 
God's desire was for you to share that 25 with him,
but because you had to follow some old, outdated and
filled law you could not pass the money on to your bud
- 

when we give we give at the level God calls us to - if
for you that is 10% cool, if not cool - you give based
on God's personal call in your life -
