How many times have you heard the phrase "All you really gotta do is pay taxes and die"? I have heard that statement many, many times and wow here we are with tax day right on top of us! It sure don't seem like it is time to file the dreaded taxes that is for sure! We are the lucky American family that seems to always owe. It doesn't matter what we do, how we change our withholdings, we just simply owe. We accept it and move on!
.
The motto for my family this month has been "We owe the three T's" so everyone knows that only necessities are being purchased. What are the three T's, you ask...[T]axes; [T]ages; and
[T]ires! Yep, we've had all three hit in the exact same month. But, what's the old saying? "All you gotta do is die and pay taxes...and car tags...and get new tires...." (haha)

You know there are people out there who live their lives like this? The walk around all mully grub with the thought that they have nothing to live for, no purpose. Gracious what a lonely existence that must be. I feel for these people because they are just the ones that can suck the pure life out of you and when you try to witness to them they get you all tongue tied and twisted and before long you are just so frustrated you walk away. Has that ever happened to you? It has to me.
.
The truth of it all is that the only thing that we need is our Lord! "'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, 'who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.'" Revelation 1:8 Did you catch that? He said he IS and he WAS and he is to COME! He was the beginning and he is the now and he is the end. There is nothing else to do in this life, nothing else to accomplish! Therefore, all you really gotta do is...accept HIM!
