Tax Time

I sit here filling out the blank forms trying to make sense of all these numbers and notes. Why didn’t I do a better job of documenting these expenditures? I dread preparing my tax return as much as I dread confession. Could it be that they are basically the same thing? Is it because I need to “fess” up to the truth? Is God going to believe this deduction? I need to stop trying to bend the rules and just fill out “Schedule C” with the correct numbers and let the chips fall where they may. After all…the penance is never that bad.

Thank you, Lord, for this financial insight.
Thank you, Lord, for the fact that there will be no “short form” for me.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for making me understand that there will be a Final Audit.

Amen.
