As I work on my income taxes

Today I began the annual ritual of working on my U.S. and state income tax forms. After spending most of the day I sat back to see what Yeshua had to say about this. He did have an opinion, telling his followers to remember to give to Ceasar what is his, and to God what is his. Paul also reminded his readers to pay their taxes.

My interpretation of Yeshua's remark is  this: "Do not forget your responsibilities to others, but dedicate you life to the Creator of All." Remember that, at the end of the day, you will judged on how you followed the Creator's wishes.
