Tax Day

Happy day-after Tax Day. Whew, we got ours filed the day before the cutoff this year. It has never taken me that long before. When we lived in Memphis during the last 7 years, we always had it done at least a couple of months early. Praise God, we actually got some back, yaaay!

I encourage everyone that can, pay in a little extra on your paycheck during the year. The new Obama plan will put a little more into your pocket every week, but don't forget it's not actually free money, we will pay for it one way or another. By sacraficing a little more, even say $10 or so a week, you will be thankful next year you did.

I actually don't mind paying taxes, I look at it this way. We are paying our rent for living in the greatest counry in the world. To put it another way, do you ever see some guys in Florida load up on a raft and try to paddle to Cuba? No! And you're not going to. We have the best country, that's why eveyone tries to get in, through legal or illegal means.

Not much else going on today, just working on getting my assignments done for graduate school and my wife and son have been working very hard keeping the yard maintained. I've never owned big property before, it's more work than I anticipated, but it's very worth it! God made the home possible for us, so naturally we're obligated to keep it clean and neat. Unfortunately I wasn't much help since I worked last night and slept most of the day (Sorry dear!)
