... the IRS taketh away. I hate tax season. I used to enjoy it becasue when we owned our home as a pastor, we received enough deductions that reduced our income to where we received rebates. No longer. Living in a New Jersey parsonage has literally cost us thousands of dollars in tax breaks. And now we're paying for it. I'm working on our taxes now and it seems that barring any other deductions we will owe another 4,000 in taxes to Uncle Sam. Hold your breath however. We will be able to apply the child adoption tax credit but it may not help us very much. We'll see. The one thing we know for certain. If the IRS takes away, we believe God will compensate because no one can out give the Lord.
If you wish to view our adoption trip in 2008, you may still access those records by clicking the "archive" button or the "2008 button" on the right hand column of the blog.
Here in the south, locals claim this has been the coldest season on record. Is there really global warming? Our home is heated by an electric heat pump so you can imagine the electric bills. .
This week I ordered my books for the next courses in this semester: "Foundations of Exceptionality" and "Understanding Educatonal Research and Assessment". I expect these core courses to be pretty heavy weighted.
Thanks for your continued prayers!
