It's April 17th, which means it's time to pay up. However, "April 17th" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "April 15th", does it? Or am I the only one who thinks that? Possibly. At any rate, the IRS collected our check a month ago and were grinning all the way to the bank, I'm sure. Over the week-end, we saw a bumper sticker that said, "
If 10% is enough for God, then it's enough for the IRS" - at which point we almost had to stop the car because we were laughing so hard. However, as I shared on Facebook, since all that we have actually belongs to the Lord, then I'm beginning to think that the IRS believes they are God, because they seem to think that all that we have belongs to them.
Just sayin' ...

Taxes aren't fun but every time I'm driving I'm grateful that my tax dollars help pay for that infrastructure!
