Atlanta CPA Thoughts on My Daily Bible Reading 

Galatians 6
-We are to restore others to Christ when they are in sin, but we should be careful not to be deceived or to fall into sin ourselves.
-We will get what we invest/we will reap what we sew.
-We should not ever give up.
-Outward appearances are not what is important. It is what is in your heart, by your expression of love and grace to others only, that counts.

Atlanta CPA...Thoughts on My Daily Bible Reading (Galatians 6, Ezekiel 2-3, Psalm 149)

God is calling us all to speak boldly.

-Look to help others that are in sin to restore them to God's ways.
-We will get out of life from God what we invest properly in it.
-Work hard and do your part.
-Boast only in Christ and not what you do.
-What counts is your being re-created in Christ.

Atlanta CPA Presents...Atlanta CPA: Author's Note

Precipice of Power is a call to action. Economically, politically and as a world leader, America stands on the brink. A step towards destruction or a step back to morality hangs in the balance. Precipice of Power is for all good thinking American's to lead us back to smaller government and democracy and away from runaway deficits and Socialism. For what evil lies within the hearts of man, whose passion is inflamed by the lust for power, must be stopped. Democracy hangs in the balance until good people rise up and defend America from sea to shining sea. We must never back down. We must never be afraid. We must be bold. We must act. Now. Precipice of Power is not a call to violence but the peaceful revolution that our Constitution and democracy allows, granting us the privilege and responsibility to serve, vote and to actively seek positive change. Shirking not from our moral duty, but to do what you can locally, domestically and internationally to help seat America permanently as a beacon of democracy to a world in need. Precipice of Power will be published here in its entirety at http://www.hiscpa.com/blog/

Atlanta CPA...Is God's Word Getting Through to You?

Is God's Word Getting Through to You? The below is a sample note we might receive from one of those reading the Bible with us all the way through in a year:

You know sometimes, actually most of the time when I read the Scriptures I really do not understand it meaning or at least all of it. I feel like a barrel that is sealed tightly on both ends floating in the ocean. There is plenty of water around but nothing is getting in. I wonder if the group would be interested in making comments as to our daily reading. Not necessarily all of it but possibly particular verses or any amount they wish. I would love to hear other peoples take on what we are reading. Just food for thought.

Atlanta CPA...Are You in the Valley of the Shadow of Death?

Are You in the Valley of the Shadow of Death?

Some Ten Years Ago....

I walked through the Valley of the Shadow of Death...

For no Matter Where I turned...

I Saw Evil and Discourse Lined up Against Me...

So I worked...

On Changing into the Man that God Wanted me to Be...

And Sought HIM mightily....

Today is Different....

Not Because There is no Valley of Shadow of Death...

But Because He Lives Within Me...

Raising Me Out of the Mire and Pain of Life...

Yes, The Valley is Still Here...

Each and Every Day....

But Thy Rod and Thy Staff They Comfort Me...

For You Are With Me Always....

For My Life Did Not Change...

But the Way I Saw My Life Did...

Choose Today to Seek HIM!!!

Psalm 23: A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. FULL POST

Atlanta CPA...2011 Year End Tax Planning 

It is that time of year again when we need to take a look at your financials to do some tax planning for the year. I have recapped below a list of the items we will need in order to properly evaluate and plan for your year-end taxes as well as address any year-end tax planning ideas.

As the end of calendar year 2011 approaches, it's time to think about what can be done to minimize the amount of taxes paid to the IRS by your business. Although tax planning should be a year-round process, there are several year-end strategies you can take, particularly if you are an S Corporation.
Here are some things to think about as the end of the year approaches:
• Try to keep your inventory as low as possible on December 31st. Since you are taxed based on the value of your goods in stock, it makes sense to minimize your inventory.
• Accrual-based taxpayers may want to consider delaying end of December billing until early January. Since income is recognized when it is billed, you can delay the tax effects from 2011 until 2012.
• For the same reason, it makes sense to book all tax-deductible expenses and accounts payable before the end of 2011, rather than waiting until next year. This includes your personal expense report for December. Cash-based taxpayers must pay these expenses, while accrual-based taxpayers need only to receive and enter the bills.
• There is still time to set up a qualified retirement plan. A defined-benefit plan can be a good way to reduce taxes while preparing for your retirement.
• Please be sure to turn in an expense report and obtain reimbursement by years-end for any business expenses you might have incurred personally such as business mileage on your personal vehicle. FULL POST
