Various famous thinkers and writers have been credited for coining the phrase, "Only two things are inevitable - death and taxes."
While the expression itself is true enough (even if we don't know who said it first), I think it's important to point out that at least the redemptive work of Jesus overcame the sting of death for all believers.
Taxes - not so much. :)
I'm thinking we're going to have to rely on His plan for tax payment, and start looking for coins in the mouths of fish next April.
It's not that I am not willing to pay, or even that we won't be able to do so. I just don't have a clue what to expect that we'll owe when April 15th rolls around next year. Even after enlisting help from the best-trained professionals, it's still really quite a mystery.
Ditto about how to handle vehicle registration.
Driver's License Renewal.
Health Insurance.
Car Insurance.
Etc, etc, etc.
We are finding a whole lot of 'detail' things that are kind of up in the air, even though we're only 10 days from leaving. The problem, of course, is that what we're doing is just a wee, tiny bit outside of the norm, and people don't always know how to answer the questions we're finding ourselves asking. As a result, we end up getting mixed messages depending on which question we ask, to whom, on which day.
To be honest, though - I'm ok with that. We will keep doing due dilligence on our end, and sift through all the answers we get as best we can in order to make our decisions. The rest is up to God. And, I can't think of any better place to put my trust than Him!
