What’s in YOUR Mind?

Tithing means giving one tenth of all that we receive, without strings, to people and organizations who feed our world spiritually. Tithing is a very personal process, and no one can tell another person specifically where his or her tithe should be given.

When I’m with you, I am home.” “I will give love. I will speak peace, all because of the love that’s got a hold of me – so wide open, so…

Joy Rising
