Someone once said (and I would like to know who said it) "that there is nothing certain but Death and Taxes". Unfortunately and ironically, I have to say that both of these things are true today. As today is April 17th, 2007...today is the final date for you to submit both your State and Federal 2006 U.S. Tax returns...if you forgot that this year you get a couple of extra days because April 15th fell on a weekend day, that is... Tax returns are due and should be postmarked before 12:00 midnight tonight! So if you still have not gotten your taxes done, 1st of all Wow! How brave of you to push the envelope, so to speak. 2nd, you better get busy and stop reading this blog...I mean it! If you need some assistance you can go to the IRS website by clicking here. Good luck!
I hate to brag about it but I got my Taxes done in February and I've already gotten by refunds back. I actually got a refund, now that's incredible. At any rate, if you haven't finished, like I said quit reading and get to it!
This is also a date that the certainty or should I say uncertainty of death has again made the headlines. Unfortunately, another school shooting has lead to the greatest loss of life in the U.S. in recent history surpassing that even of Columbine High School so many years ago. For those killed in Blackburn Virginia at Virginia Tech College, please join with me and take a moment of our busy lives to pray, to God or whatever higher power you believe, for the innocent young people taken from their families and friends in such a senseless manner. Also, pray for the young man who apparently, allegedly, perpetrated this horrible crime. He had to be experiencing such great pain to inflict harm of this magnitude. Although, I used find it hard to do, someone such as this needs my prayers just as much as those whose lives the young man apparently took. Finally we should pray that senseless violence like this will cease. We all need to remember to open our eyes and ears and hearts to people like this in need and in such unrecognizable pain. If I ever remotely suspect someone I know is in such pain, I know that after today, I can never turn a deaf ear, heart or mind to any pain that person may be in. I will find some way to get them the help they need to avoid another senseless tragedy like that that happened yesterday to so many. As I said, take a moment of your day to lift up your thoughts and/or prayers to remember those who lost their lives. Remember also their families, friends and loved ones who lost someone to such a senseless act.
