Keeping Perspective!

"Sloughing Towards Galilee!"

KEEPING Perspective!

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time!

January 28, 2024

Deuteronomy 18:15-20;Psalm 111;

I Corinthians 8:1-13; Mark 1:21-25

======================

    I woke up early this Tuesday morning listening to the rain. In years past I have been out passing out socks, blankets, clothes, and food, but this year I stay in. I have always taken ill, the day after, and remain sick for several weeks, and therefore am not present to others. So I take care of my self. I am keeping things in perspective!

    I love laying in bed and going to sleep listening to the rain drops, best sleeping pill one can have, yet I am always edgy knowing how many suffer without housing, blankets, on the street. I am keeping things in perspective!

    Keeping perspective is one thing I have had difficulty with all of my life, for I want everything to turn out perfectly, and (LOL) that never happens! We are all broken vessels, and thus is our society and the Church!

    We worship at the foot of the  false gods of politicians--office holders and candidates, who promise us the false salvation of economic security, the false god of being right about everything, false god of expecting our government  fixing homelessness, of expecting others to meet our expectations.  I prefer keeping the perspective of our broken humanity, and need to do our best!

    All of my early life I was taught that the United States is "the land of the free!" But in "coming out"myself, caring for the um-housed,  people of color and migrants learned the phrase means different things to different people. 

    We enter this election season hearing so many different perspectives on  immigration, gun ownership, abortion, and the rights of the homeless. We are so divided, that many of us will not speak, let along listen to other perspectives. Let us keep the perspective! Let us be open to the perspective of each others broken humanity!

    Paul, in I Corinthians 8, reminds us that we all have our rights to discern our own actions, and to be mindful and lead by example(verse 9: "Only be careful that this freedom of yours  does not in any way turn into an obstacle to trip those who are vulnerable. (Revised New Jerusalem Bible).

    The message of Paul is to eat whatever you choose, in order not to offend other persons.

    I am learning to take that to heart as well, rather than having people fix a vegetarian meal when I come to visit, which is offensive to some, I eat what is put before me. I am keeping things in perspective!

    This message of Paul reflects the summary of the Great Commandment of Jesus, "You shall love the Lord your God, with all of your mind, your heart, your mind, your soul, and strength,  and love your neighbor as yourself." This is the creed of all major religions--to love another as we wished to be love.

    In Psalm 111, the poet high lights the Lord's faithfulness to the community rather than to any one individual. As Nancy L. deCaisse-Walford has written in The Shape of the Book of Psalms, although the Psalms highlights and individuals words of thanks to God, they reflect God's faithfulness to a whole community. The rights and concerns of the individual are important, but the welfare of those at the margins is paramount.

    For myself as a Christian, Bishop Oscar Romero summed this up in his book: The Violence of Love, "Authority to Teach:

To Know Christ is to know God.

Christ is the homily

that keeps explaining to us continually

THAT GOD IS LOVE...

Let us during the next months heed the words of Jack Kornfield, and be at peace and  with one another:

"Be open to whatever you experience without fighting;

Let it be present just as it is.

Let go of the battle."

(Jack Kornfield).

PRV 21:1-6, 10-13

Like a stream is the king’s heart in the hand of the LORD;

wherever it pleases him, he directs it.

All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes,

but it is the LORD who proves hearts.

To do what is right and just

is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

Haughty eyes and a proud heart–

the tillage of the wicked is sin.

The plans of the diligent are sure of profit,

but all rash haste leads certainly to poverty.

Whoever makes a fortune by a lying tongue

is chasing a bubble over deadly snares.

The soul of the wicked man desires evil;

his neighbor finds no pity in his eyes.

When the arrogant man is punished, the simple are the wiser;

when the wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.

The just man appraises the house of the wicked:

there is one who brings down the wicked to ruin.

He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor

will himself also call and not be heard.

Responsorial Psalm

---------------

PS 119:1, 27, 30, 34, 35, 44

Blessed are they whose way is blameless,

who walk in the law of the LORD.

R. Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands.

Make me understand the way of your precepts,

and I will meditate on your wondrous deeds.

R. Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands.

The way of truth I have chosen;

I have set your ordinances before me.

R. Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands.

Give me discernment, that I may observe your law

and keep it with all my heart.

R. Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands.

Lead me in the path of your commands,

for in it I delight.

R. Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands.

And I will keep your law continually,

forever and ever.

R. Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands.

LK 8:19-21

The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him

but were unable to join him because of the crowd.

He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside

and they wish to see you.”

He said to them in reply, “My mother and my brothers 

are those who hear the word of God and act on it.”

FOCUS AND LITURGY OF THE WORD

'The road’ is an often-used metaphor. It symbolizes a journey to be had; a way to be taken from one point to another as well as the way in which it might be taken. In this way the road is vector-like, having both magnitude and direction when animated by the one who journeys. The road can, therefore, also encompass the one who journeys and all her/his dispositions, preconceptions, decisions, and baggage (of both the literal and figurative sorts). 

Though the word ‘road’ is not mentioned in today’s readings, its meaning is embedded throughout them. Take the first reading. The Lord directs the king’s heart. We hear of the ways of a man. Likewise, our responsorial psalm mentions the way and the path. The sentiments of ‘road’ and ‘journey’ abound in today’s scripture and to take the metaphor a step further, the stones that pave this road are laid out right in front of us. These stones have names, too. Names like Righteousness, Justice, Humility, Honesty, and Charity. Notice the stones that are not present: Arrogance, Pride, Selfishness, and Deceit. 

Whether we conceive of this road as being straight or winding, inclining or declining, treacherous or easy, hidden by darkness, fog or mist - or illuminated with the clarity of sunlight, does not so much matter. Indeed, the road can take any of these forms at different points of the journey. What does matter, I think, is that the road is made for us. God has labored and continues to labor to make sure this road is available to us. Let us be the mothers, brothers and sisters who journey it.

DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS (DSR) 📚 GROUP, Tue Sept 20th, 2022...Tuesday of the Twenty Fifth week in Ordinary Time, Year C...Memorial of Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gŏn, Priest, and Paul Chŏng Ha-sang, and Companions, Martyrs...SAINT OF THE DAY

Saint Andrew Kim Taegon (Aug 21, 1821 - Sept 16, 1846); Saint Paul Chong Hasang and Companions (d. between 1839 - 1867)

Saints Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions’ Stories

The first native Korean priest, Andrew Kim Taegon was the son of Christian converts. Following his baptism at the age of 15, Andrew traveled 1,300 miles to the seminary in Macao, China. After six years, he managed to return to his country through Manchuria. That same year he crossed the Yellow Sea to Shanghai and was ordained a priest. Back home again, he was assigned to arrange for more missionaries to enter by a water route that would elude the border patrol. He was arrested, tortured, and finally beheaded at the Han River near Seoul, the capital.

Andrew's father Ignatius Kim, was martyred during the persecution of 1839, and was beatified in 1925. Paul Chong Hasang, a lay apostle and married man, also died in 1839 at age 45.

Among the other martyrs in 1839 was Columba Kim, an unmarried woman of 26. She was put in prison, pierced with hot tools and seared with burning coals. She and her sister Agnes were disrobed and kept for two days in a cell with condemned criminals, but were not molested. After Columba complained about the indignity, no more women were subjected to it. The two were beheaded. Peter Ryou, a boy of 13, had his flesh so badly torn that he could pull off pieces and throw them at the judges. He was killed by strangulation. Protase Chong, a 41-year-old nobleman, apostatized under torture and was freed. Later he came back, confessed his faith and was tortured to death.

Christianity came to Korea during the Japanese invasion in 1592 when some Koreans were baptized, probably by Christian Japanese soldiers. Evangelization was difficult because Korea refused all contact with the outside world except for taking taxes to Beijing annually. On one of these occasions, around 1777, Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led educated Korean Christians to study. A home Church began. When a Chinese priest managed to enter secretly a dozen years later, he found 4,000 Catholics, none of whom had ever seen a priest. Seven years later there were 10,000 Catholics. Religious freedom came to Korea in 1883.

Besides Andrew and Paul, Pope John Paul II canonized 98 Koreans and three French missionaries who had been martyred between 1839 and 1867, when he visited Korea in 1984. Among them were bishops and priests, but for the most part they were lay persons: 47 women and 45 men.

Reflection

---------

We marvel at the fact that the Korean Church was strictly a lay Church for a dozen years after its birth. How did the people survive without the Eucharist? It is no belittling of this and other sacraments to realize that there must be a living faith before there can be a truly beneficial celebration of the Eucharist. The sacraments are signs of God’s initiative and response to faith already present. The sacraments increase grace and faith, but only if there is something ready to be increased.

Your footsteps are quick and haste, sweat beginning to accumulate at your temples when the glowing numbers before you take their sweet time in lowering. The grip on your backpack only intensifies, glancing back and forth warily until a soft chime resonates. 

Stepping inside, you whirl around and press your thumb against the silver pad for the sixth floor. The doors begin to shut when a voice suddenly calls out.

“Wait!” Your hand instantly shoots out with a grimace, only letting once the woman safely enters and the doors are shut close. 

“Thank you.” She answers a bit breathless, but you can only offer a small smile in retaliation when you sink against the wall. She stares up at the bright screen, a frown on her lips.

“How long does it usually take to get to the third floor?”

You bite down on your lip, tightly grasping the steel railing. “F-Fifteen minutes.”

She catches the hesitance in your voice, eyes suddenly on alert.

“Are you alright?” When she inches closer, you flinch and hurriedly nod. “Are you sure? You look very pale.”

More colour disappears from your face at that, her keen eyes growing more and more concerned by the minute.

You hear a small ding and the doors open.

She swivels around, feet beginning to slowly move but not before she sends one final glance in your direction. 

“Take care young man!”

The doors click and you sigh, slumping further against the steel wall. The numbers progress sluggishly, as if testing how much strength you have left. Once the noticeable giant red six appears, you haul up your plummeting form. 

The doors open and you limp over as much as you can, punching your keys into the knob and twisting it instantly. Your backpack gets discarded onto the ground, not even being able to make it to your room when you collapse onto the couch. 

Within a matter of seconds, your lids flutter shut.

***

You’re woken up with a wince, insides feeling like they had been churned and twisted. Curling up into a fetal position, sweat trickles down your forehead and your eyes scrunch up, a sudden wave of nausea not helping to relieve any of the symptoms. 

Unraveling yourself bit by bit, you manage to flip yourself to face the ground, body suddenly jolting when you come face to face with a certain someone passed out on the ground.

He’s wearing a t-shirt and shorts, a headband keeping his black fluffy locks at bay and head resting against a pillow he’s snatched up. You speculate if he possibly came back from training and somehow just ended up sleeping next to you, but it’s a thought you can’t really contemplate any longer when a throbbing sensation churns up in your stomach.

You recoil back into that fetal position again, all hopes of trying to get up diminishing away. Biting down on your lower lip harshly, you stretch out your arm, fingertips barely meeting his shoulder. 

“Taehyung…….Taehyung..….” You quietly whisper, another wave of cramps washing over you as you wince, “Tae…”

Your movements at best, get him to roll away until he’s completely out of your reach. A defeated groan escapes you, the throbbing only magnifying by the minute.

The rustling sound of keys jerks your head up, eyes frantically darting everywhere until they land on the door.

“Who–…oh.” Your eyes meet Jungkook, who leans against the door and is occupied with slipping his shoes off. There’s two bright green bags in his hands that seem to be overflowing with packets of food, but he strides over when he notices you on the couch and Taehyung sprawled all out on the floor.

You open your mouth to retaliate, but a sharp pulse hits your side and a shaky breath escapes you. “J-Jungkook…”

His attention is diverted over to you and you gesture towards the kitchen with your hand, “C-Can you get me my medicine? It should be in the top drawer.”

“Wha– are you okay?”

You peer up to see his furrowed brows when you curl up again, head quickly nodding in response. There’s still a frown on his lips when he glances down, eyes now narrowing at the soft snores escaping from the ground. 

Jungkook pads over with his groceries to the man, who still appears to be very occupied with his drowsy state of slumber. Sticking the edge of his foot out, Jungkook pokes Taehyung mildly on the shoulder. To his dismay, he slurs some sluggish incoherent words in response before rolling over into the opposite direction.

“Is he dead or something?” Jungkook glances around for a moment, eyes fixating coincidentally on the location Taehyung has chosen to fall asleep on. His voice dips down, a harsh mutter of words passing through his lips.

“If he drools on my carpet…”

“He won’t.” Jungkook pauses when you interject mid-way, a soft reassuring smile on your lips. “I promise.”

He seems to be contemplating your response when another pricking sensation stabs you in the stomach again, words faltering as you weakly whisper, “Jungkook, m-my medicine…” 

There’s still a level of reluctancy brewing within his eyes, but after a deep sigh, Jungkook heads for the kitchen. The groceries that had been gripped in his hands are discarded onto the counter, the drawer you had instructed to him being immediately yanked out. He rummages through it for a second with a frown, hands curling around the small box and leaning over to grab a water bottle from the fridge.

He glances down as he strolls back, brows contorting the longer he stares at it.

“Do you have a stomach ache Y/N?” He ponders, handing you the box and water as your eyes widen for a second. Letting out an uneasy laugh, you faintly smile.

“S-Something like that.”

You instantly take the medicine and chug the water down, handing it back to Jungkook who sets it on the table to the side. He moves to sit on the other end of the couch, seeming to relax though his gaze remains on Taehyung.

“How long has he been like that?

You shrug, “He was just sleeping on the ground when I woke up.”

Jungkook hums, but then he abruptly snaps up much to your own surprise. Darting over to the kitchen counter again, he rummages through the plastic of his grocery bags before a brightly red coloured packet and a box comes out into his hands. Coming back, your eyes remain bewildered until he couches down in front of Taehyung.

The brightly red packet is placed on the perch of Taehyung’s nose, your mouth dropping at the sight as Jungkook aimlessly shuffles back to his spot and reaches out for the remote.

There’s a small smile on his lips when he catches a glimpse of your astonished expression, “He’s been wanting ramen for days. It’ll wake him up faster.”

A faint chuckles escapes you at that, now flowing out freely once the medicine in your system begins to finally kick in. Sinking back into the couch, your lids flutter as you rest your head against the soft cushion.

“Did you eat something bad?” Jungkook questions, the box is in his hands open as he munches down on a cookie. 

“Uh…yeah,” You clear your throat, “I should have been more careful.”

He hums, “Hopefully the medicine helps, you need to be good shape for our first game.”

You freeze, becoming wide-eyed as your thoughts come to a pause.

“H-Huh?”

 “Yeah….” Jungkook arches up a brow. “It’s tomorrow.”

Your mind crashes with the information, thoughts suddenly spurting out of control. Jungkook’s words only work as a confirmation, because of course you know it’s tomorrow. You had bookmarked the date in your calendar beforehand and were slowly counting down the days in excitement. However, you’ve failed to realize the day had been drawing closer and closer, being too occupied with the radiating pain in your stomach and transcending aches writhing through your form. 

You gulp, pupils beginning to shake and shoulders starting to quiver when you can already imagine the horror of trying to play in such a state, wondering if somehow you can just pull through for tomorrow and–

A loud yawn breaks the silence, disrupting your chaotic thinking as a head of tousled black hair straightens up.

“WOAH!”

The red packet falls onto the ground, strands of Taehyung’s hair sticking up in unusual ways and hand pressed against his heart as if he had just gone through a heart attack. He narrows his eyes, staring at the bizarre presence of the ramen before him.

Jungkook keenly watches him, leaning against his hand with a smirk. “Rise and shine dear prince.”

“You got it?!” Taehyung grabs onto the packet with both hands, crinkling the metallic wrapping in the process as he continues to gaze at it. He hurriedly flips it over, eyes searching in wonder, “And it’s the extra spicy flavour!”

Jungkook doesn’t respond to him, eyes darting over to his phone as he occupies himself – though there is a small smile lingering over his lips.

A wide grin stretches across Taehyung’s face, eyes suddenly landing onto you and morphing into concern.

“Oh! Y/N!”

He grabs onto your hand, “Are you feeling better? You were shaking a lot when I came back…”

“I’m alright Taehyung.” You quickly reassure him, however your head still wanders over to Jungkook’s reminder of a very important event tomorrow, not settled down onto a proper solution yet.

Tenderly watching Taehyung jump over to Jungkook with an especially generous hug, you can only hope to yourself that tomorrow will be okay.

***

It’s quite simple.

In the beginning, basketball was a mere game to you.

It’s a distinctive memory, and it started off how usually most new things do.

A peak in interest at a time you had least expected it.

You had been going about with your day, everything seeming to be as ordinary as it could be. That is, until a now familiar, but back then more much foreign orange ball rolled over to your feet.

Your eyes blankly stare at it, lips sullen. When you lean over to grasp onto it, the grainy texture meeting your fingers, there is nothing but mere curiosity dwelling in your eyes. It’s only until you hear the clearing of a throat, a girl around your age having her hand planted against her hip and one outstretched, face unamused that it withers away. A group formulates behind her, all staring at you in anticipation.

The ball tumbles towards the ground, bouncing off the rough surface and into the girl’s hands. She spins around without giving you a second look, the group behind her now fluttering with smiles once she returns.

You pout, feet slowly padding away but eyes still glued to how the girl begins to bounce the ball, passing it over to someone else. Only being able to catch a handful of glimpses through the tall metal wired fence, your steps halt when the second girl closes in on the basket, adding strength into her legs and shooting the ball outwards.

It flawlessly lands through the hoop, a roar of cheers echoing through her nearby players as they pat her on the back and congratulate her.

After that, you remain crouching in the same spot you faltered in. Simply and quietly observing from the cloaked shadows of the fence like a figured being discovering light for the first time.

Unintentionally, the observation ignites a spark, a small flicker of a fire that only seems to grow as time passes, becoming never ending through the desire to soar higher and higher. 

It’s quite simple – and yet when you enter that roaring gymnasium, thundering voices bouncing off all the walls, you know that you’ve reached a point in time that is not as simple anymore.

“Over here.” The captain of your team gestures all of you towards him with his hands, a cardboard box resting at his feet. Within an instant, he’s pulled out sets of black sleeveless shirts, mumbling in a low voice.

“Jaebum, Hoseok, Taehyung….” The shirts go flying from his hands, each one meeting a different member’s outstretched hands. 

“Y/N.” You react a tad late when he sends one your way, the delicate satin fabric meeting your fingertips. The front has bright swirls of purple, your team name highlighted with white undertones and grey prints.

Flipping over the shirt, there’s a row of giant orange numbers spelling your name, alongside with your assigned number.

“Seven…” You whisper, gazing at the number in puzzlement.

“Make sure you keep them safe.” Yoongi announces, ushering Namjoon over. He clears his throat, capturing everyone’s attention over immediately.

“Since this is going to be your first game, I’m sure you’re all nervous.” He chuckles, “I am too, but we made sure to prepare you all very well for this.”

He sticks his hand out, five fingers raised.

“We’ll have five players on the court at a time, that means ten in total during the game. We’ve already decided on which players will be on the court for today's game.” 

A list is pulled out by Yoongi, who hands it over to Namjoon, “Jungkook, Taehyung, Jackson and Y/N.” He makes eye contact with the group, “You guys will be playing for this game.”

Your form stiffens, a forced smile arising on your lips as a hand unconsciously hovers over your stomach.

Yoongi is standing right next to you and it would have been a perfect opportunity. With one simple turn, you could do a swap that would have pulled you out instead of keeping you anchored to the situation at hand.

One simple turn.

And yet, you can’t bring yourself to do it – not when there’s a multitude of flashbacks playing in your head, one that heavily consists of a poorly done try out.

Sucking in a deep breath, you move to stand beside Taehyung and the others. He darts his head around, gaze confused.

“Who’s our fifth player?

There’s a giant smug smile on Yoongi’s lips, sauntering over to stand in the line-up as he carries a basketball in his hands.

“I am.” 

Your eyes widen, focused on how Yoongi moves to the middle of the court and beckons the rest of you to follow. Your line of sight briefly changes to the opposing team, who are patiently waiting for your team’s arrival. 

With the basketball in one hand, Yoongi reaches out to shake the other’s team captain’s hand, a mutual look residing in their eyes. He then hands the ball over to the referee, signalling for all of you to get into your positions behind him. Jungkook and Taehyung move to stand on either side of him, you and Jackson heading for the back.

The referee holds up the basketball in his right hand, left hand curling around his whistle. Fisting your palms, you plant yourself firmly into position – mind empty as your quick eyes scan over the court. 

“First team to three points wins.”

The referee blows his whistle.

The best way to describe the aftermath is a complete blur. Everyone sprints simultaneously, heading out in contrasting directions as you try to navigate where the ball has disappeared to. It’s only until a head of maroon hair darts out, expertly dribbling around the players surrounding him.

His shoes loudly squeak when he runs into the other’s team captain, letting out a grunt when the blockade the captain creates is challenging for him to bypass. However, that’s when Yoongi decides on accelerating his pace, generating enough momentum to breeze by the other captain as the ball is thrown over to an already prepared Jungkook.

He quickly seizes it, eyes suddenly alarmed with the overflowing amount of players rushing at him. Darting his gaze over, a tick escapes him when Taehyung and Jackson are buried in a sea of the other team's players and the captain is right on Yoongi’s toes. 

You hastily glide over, finding a lucky opening at Jungkook’s back and outstretching your hands. Jungkook catches on right away, jerking over to the side and thrusting the ball in your direction with the little room he has. 

Your hands slap against the basketball, form speeding up rapidly when you can easily swoop through the overshadowing players around you and head for the basket. But when you’re only a mere inches away, there’s a stab of pain on your side, something that causes you to harshly bite down on your bottom lip as tears well up in your eyes.

Your form curls in on itself, hands quivering as you try to clutch the basketball harder – but your attempts prove to be futile when the opposing team’s captain lunges straight for you, knocking the ball out of your hands.

The impact causes you to wince again, eyes now becoming blurry but still racing over to claim the basketball again. Jackson suddenly emerges in front of you, using the same tactic the captain did to steal the ball away from him.

He goes full ham, dribbling the ball away at an insane speed that leaves you perplexed, mouth falling completely agape when he manages to make it over to the basket and shoot.

The ball practically flies from his hands, falling into the basket as a loud cheer echoes through the room. Jackson fondly smiles, a huffing Min Yoongi patting him on the back.

You’re able to muster enough energy to send him a content smile, breathing heavily as you drag yourself over to your old position. Though the action doesn’t escape a certain someone’s eyes; Yoongi’s heavy gaze lingering on you for a moment, before he races over to take the centre position again. 

The whistle is blown again, and the blur of players occurs once more. This time Yoongi manages to slap the basketball away, throwing it in Taehyung’s direction who catches it after it pounds against the ground. He spins around, eyes meeting Jungkook’s and passing it over to him.

The next set of minutes have your eyes harshly widening, disbelief crossing your features.

All the players charge at him at the same time, completely blocking all of his shots. Yoongi and Taehyung bolt over as Jackson hovers near the hoop, eyes on sight for any long shots Jungkook can make. It seems he’s not left with many options through, expression growing increasingly frustrated by the minute.

The basketball is knocked out of his hands, one of the opposing team’s members accelerating towards your hoop. You’re quick to move on your feet, dashing over to block any potential shots but the lack of team support doesn’t leave you with much hope.

The basketball enters your hoop, and the referee announces that you’ve both been tied.

Huffing even more, Yoongi resumes back in position and glances at his team.

“It’s only a tie, don’t mope.” When you look up, you notice his eyes pause for a moment before turning away completely. 

The whistle is blown for a third time, the opposing team grabbing onto the basketball right away. All of your team players rush at them at once and Yoongi attempts to block off the captain by himself, granting the rest of you the opportunity to apprehend the basketball.

Taehyung manages to after quite a lot of attempts, his teeth clenching when his feet roughly pound against the floor as the basketball meets Jackson’s hands. He whirls around, dribbling the basket but suddenly meeting a blockade of three members.

Making a quick call, the basketball is headed for your direction and you hastily grab onto it, eyes coming into contact with Yoongi’s. Your feet squeak when he gives you a nod, legs tightening when you jump, the ball flying towards the basket.

The ball is slapped away.

Jackson’s blockade catches onto it, hurriedly making use of the newly acquired opportunity to pass the ball between themselves and make it towards your defenseless hoop. The ball plunges in, their overflowing and buzzing audience spreading cheers through the large gymnasium.

You pant, sweat trickling down your neck and soaking your new black jersey as you plant your hands against your knees. Your gaze falters up for a second, grimly regarding how the two glows so brightly for the opposing team, the luminescent and stagnant number one silently mocking you.

Acknowledging that you’re near the tip of the iceberg now, you let out a shaky breath as you straighten up. From a distance away, you notice everyone in position except for a crucial member of your team, someone your wandering eyes meet when he stands near Namjoon and whispers into his ear.

After a moment, he signals the members over. You pad  over hurriedly, unfortunately realizing that the members were already departing by the time you reached them. Your lost eyes glance around, but Yoongi simply shakes his head and signals for you to get back into the resting position.

Shutting your eyes, you exhale and plant your feet firmly onto the ground. The whistle blows and Yoongi immediately catches the ball, whirling around and passing the ball over to Taehyung – who practically flies over to the opposing team’s basket. Meeting a barricade, he glances over at Jungkook and chucks the ball.

Jungkook quickly slides across the court, bouncing the ball over to Jackson who eyes down the man stealthily approaching behind him. When the ball is sent over to Yoongi, he focuses in your direction.

“Y/N!”

You flinch when he calls out your name, noticing the chain the members had created lead to one thing in the end–

You.

The basketball is hurled towards your direction, hands snatching onto it. You swivel around as your eyes try to determine who to pass it over to now, only to realize that you’re the one standing right beside the opposing team’s basket.

Eyes lighting up in relation, you don’t dwell on it any further when you jump and the ball goes straight into the hoop.

A loud range of ecstatic voices cry behind you, Taehyung and Jungkook rushing over with howls of encouragement. You smile, but your eyes are more focused on the way Yoongi seems to eye the distance from the centre to the hoop; the dots slowly beginning to connect for you.

The team is now tied – two to two on the gigantic board displayed close to the bottom of the ceiling. Meaning whoever makes it with this shot, wins the game.

A good glance around reminds you that although your team is highly motivated, everyone is certainly reaching their breaking point. Even Yoongi and Namjoon have been keen and through with your practices, they were also adamant about not wasting any energy and granted you with breaks that many of you were grateful for.

However, it’s crystal clear when your gaze roams, seeing the exhausted eyes, the way everyone’s hair and jerseys are thoroughly soaked with heavy breaths escaping them, that this final match will either make it or break it for you.

Clenching your fists, the whistle is blown for the last time.

Again, Yoongi replicates what he did last time, hand shooting out to grab the basketball before the other captain even has a chance to. Instead of whirling around like before though, he dribbles into the opposite direction and passes the ball to Jackson. When Jackson begins dribbling around and dodging attacking players, you slowly linger closer and closer to the opposite team’s basket, eyes carefully navigating through the horde of opposing players mixed in with your own team.

Jackson passes over to Jungkook, who quickly darts to Taehyung and bounces it over before he’s completely blocked. Taehyung grabs onto it, legs moving faster by the minute when all of the players are occupied except for one.

You promptly get into stance when Taehyung approaches, though you realize that the opposing team has fully understood your strategy. They intercept him right away, knocking the ball right out of his hands.

However, before they even get the chance to claim the basketball again, you hurriedly rush over and intercept instead. Gritting your teeth, there’s water being drawn to your eyes when the exertion of running overtakes you again, but you push the pain away when you draw near the basket. 

Being fully aware that they’re players right behind you and ready to snatch up any opportunity of a mishap, you tightly grasp the basketball and angle yourself for the hoop.

Your breath is stuck in between your throat and lungs when the ball goes soaring, eyes glued to it’s every movement when it plunges into the hoop.

Your knees almost wobble, feeling like jelly when there’s a thunderous roar of screams behind you, the glowing two for your team being replaced with a three instead. Adrenaline overtakes your system and buzzes through your ears, breaking you out of your daze when you’re suddenly being lifted by a group of familiar members.

Shock crosses you but is soon exchanged for a hearty smile, a stream of water leaving your eyes. You’re placed down, each of your members grinning at you with huge smiles that makes you feel like you’re on cloud nine.

Namjoon softly smiles; hands crossed behind his back as he watches his team celebrate your victory. Yoongi dashes over beside him to grab onto a towel, wiping the lingering sweat dripping from his face with a light smile looped on his lips.

“Good call.” Namjoon mutters, eyes locking with his, “Even I wouldn’t been able to catch onto that.”

Yoongi knows exactly what Namjoon is referring to, the former’s memory recalling the way the captain rushed towards him immediately when the opposing team had scored two points.

“Change the strategy.” Yoongi breathes out, but Namjoon gawks at him.

“What? Why?” He eyes the glowing scoreboard, “It can still work Yoongi, we just need to find an opening and–“

Yoongi hurriedly shakes his head, gesturing over to your direction. “Something’s wrong, I don’t know what but change it so that he’s in the front.”

Namjoon’s mouth drops, eyes lingering over to you for a second. You looked perfectly fine and well to him – but he knows that if Yoongi is bringing something to his attention then it has to be something crucial enough to be taken into consideration.

“Alright. Call the boys over.” With a nod, Yoongi’s one gesture draws everyone near. As Namjoon explains the new chain strategy, Yoongi’s eyes linger over to you. He watches how the opposing team is eyeing down the team’s sudden formation, their gazes barely acknowledging you.

Yoongi smiles.

What a truly foolish mistake for them to make.

Tuesday: Reflection on the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

Roman Catholic Proper 21 Revised Common Lectionary Proper 16

Complementary Hebrew Scripture from the Latter Prophets: Ezekiel 20:18-32

I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not follow the statutes of your parents, nor observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols. I the Lord am your God; follow my statutes, and be careful to observe my ordinances, and hallow my sabbaths that they may be a sign between me and you, so that you may know that I the Lord am your God. But the children rebelled against me; they did not follow my statutes, and were not careful to observe my ordinances, by whose observance everyone shall live; they profaned my sabbaths. Then I thought I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness. But I withheld my hand, and acted for the sake of my name, so that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out. Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries, because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were set on their ancestors’ idols. Moreover I gave them statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live. I defiled them through their very gifts, in their offering up all their firstborn, in order that I might horrify them, so that they might know that I am the Lord.

Therefore, mortal, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: In this again your ancestors blasphemed me, by dealing treacherously with me. For when I had brought them into the land that I swore to give them, then wherever they saw any high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices and presented the provocation of their offering; there they sent up their pleasing odors, and there they poured out their drink offerings. (I said to them, What is the high place to which you go? So it is called Bamah to this day.) Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Will you defile yourselves after the manner of your ancestors and go astray after their detestable things? When you offer your gifts and make your children pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And shall I be consulted by you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not be consulted by you.

What is in your mind shall never happen—the thought, “Let us be like the nations, like the tribes of the countries, and worship wood and stone.”

Semi-continuous Hebrew Scripture from the Latter Prophets: Jeremiah 7:16-26

[God is speaking to Jeremiah.]

As for you, do not pray for this people, do not raise a cry or prayer on their behalf, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. Is it I whom they provoke? says the Lord. Is it not themselves, to their own hurt? Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: My anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on human beings and animals, on the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; it will burn and not be quenched.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this command I gave them, “Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk only in the way that I command you, so that it may be well with you.” Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but, in the stubbornness of their evil will, they walked in their own counsels, and looked backward rather than forward. From the day that your ancestors came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day; yet they did not listen to me, or pay attention, but they stiffened their necks. They did worse than their ancestors did.

Complementary Psalm 109:21-31

But you, O Lord my Lord,  act on my behalf for your name's sake;  because your steadfast love is good, deliver me. For I am poor and needy,  and my heart is pierced within me. I am gone like a shadow at evening;  I am shaken off like a locust. My knees are weak through fasting;  my body has become gaunt. I am an object of scorn to my accusers;  when they see me, they shake their heads.

Help me, O Lord my God!  Save me according to your steadfast love. Let them know that this is your hand;  you, O Lord, have done it. Let them curse, but you will bless.  Let my assailants be put to shame; may your servant be glad. May my accusers be clothed with dishonor;  may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a mantle. With my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord;  I will praise him in the midst of the throng. For he stands at the right hand of the needy,  to save them from those who would condemn them to death.

Semi-continuous Psalm 10

Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?  Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In arrogance the wicked persecute the poor—  let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

For the wicked boast of the desires of their heart,  those greedy for gain curse and renounce the Lord. In the pride of their countenance the wicked say, “God will not seek it out”;  all their thoughts are, “There is no God.”

Their ways prosper at all times;  your judgments are on high, out of their sight;  as for their foes, they scoff at them. They think in their heart, “We shall not be moved;  throughout all generations we shall not meet adversity.”

Their mouths are filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;  under their tongues are mischief and iniquity. They sit in ambush in the villages;  in hiding places they murder the innocent.

Their eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;  they lurk in secret like a lion in its covert; they lurk that they may seize the poor;  they seize the poor and drag them off in their net. They stoop, they crouch,  and the helpless fall by their might. They think in their heart,  “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”

Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;  do not forget the oppressed. Why do the wicked renounce God, and say in their hearts,  “You will not call us to account”?

But you do see! Indeed you note trouble and grief,  that you may take it into your hands; the helpless commit themselves to you;  you have been the helper of the orphan.

Break the arm of the wicked and evildoers;  seek out their wickedness until you find none. The Lord is king forever and ever;  the nations shall perish from his land.

O Lord, you will hear the desire of the meek;  you will strengthen their heart, you will incline your ear  to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed,  so that those from earth may strike terror no more.

New Testament Lesson: Revelation 3:7-13

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the holy one, the true one,  who has the key of David,  who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens:

“I know your works. Look, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but are lying—I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming soon; hold fast to what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. If you conquer, I will make you a pillar in the temple of my God; you will never go out of it. I will write on you the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”

NPA's continued use of landmines in Agusan Norte hit

#PHnews: NPA's continued use of landmines in Agusan Norte hit

BUTUAN CITY – A top Army official in Agusan del Norte said the recent discovery of bomb-making materials in an abandoned lair of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) proves that rebels continue to use explosives banned under international laws. Lt. Col. Julius Cesar C. Paulo, commander of the Army's 23rd Infantry Battalion, said Tuesday the banned explosives endanger civilians' lives, especially farmers and the indigenous peoples (IPs) in the remote areas in Agusan del Norte. “I called on the residents, especially in the remote areas, to be always aware of the dangers posed by these CNTs (Communist NPA Terrorists) in our lives. For the past years, they conceal landmines in places that are frequented by civilians. These explosives kill not only the government forces but also the ordinary people in the area,” Paulo said. Late last week, Paulo said government troops recovered 20 rolls of blasting cap and other bomb-making components in an abandoned NPA hideout in Sitio Fatima, Barangay Ibuan, Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte. “We conducted an operation when the farmers and the IP residents in Sitio Fatima reported of a hideout recently abandoned by the CNTs. The civilians said they also noticed some wires and were worried about the presence of explosives in the area,” he said. In July this year, he said the 23IB disposed of eight anti-personnel mines (APMs) and the 23 packs of ammonium nitrate that were previously recovered from NPA encampments in the province. “We all know that the use of IEDs (improvised explosive devices) violates provisions of international agreements, including the Ottawa Treaty, Geneva Convention, and the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL). The CNTs continue to use these banned explosives here in Agusan del Norte,” Paulo said. He also lauded the help of communities and asked them to be always on guard on the NPA's presence and their activities of planting and concealing explosives in the area. “These CNT members are killers as they always have that intention to kill, not only the government forces but also the innocent civilians including the IPs,” Paulo said. The NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. (PNA)

Knowing God Audiobook

[Audio Books] Knowing God Audiobook by J. I. Packer

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word. What began as a number of consecutive articles angled for "honest, no-nonsense readers who were fed up with facile Christian verbiage" in 1973, Knowing God has become a contemporary classic by creating "small studies out of great subjects." Each chapter is so specific in focus (covering topics such as the trinity, election, God's wrath, and God's sovereignty), that each succeeding chapter's theology seems to rival the next, until one's mind is so expanded that one's entire view of God has changed. Author Elizabeth Eliot wrote that amid the lofty content Packer "puts the hay where the sheep can reach it--plainly shows us ordinary folks what it means to know God." Having rescued us from the individual hunches of our ultra-tolerant theological age, Packer points the reader to the true character of God with his theological competence and compassionate heart. The lazy and faint-hearted should be warned about this timeless work--God is magnified, the sinner is humbled, and the saint encouraged. --Jill Heatherly

APRIL 15th "Today I will relax into my own state of being.  I will not so much try to change people, places or things as much as I will come to terms with how they are.  I will not interpret but rather reach an understanding that this is where I am and I will look forward to what shows up next without judging or criticizing. I will rest upon the ethereal."

From the Fish Box

Q) "Hi Jimmy, I  recently bought your package from "Straight Talk for the Soul" and I'm delighted with it. I just have one question. You mentioned on the call that you could play the MP3's for other people by saying for e.g. "I'd like to play this for (person's name) who is having money problems" and it can be played in the background with the volume on low.  My question is: Can you listen to the MP3 with your own prayer request at the same time as you're playing it on behalf of someone else with a prayer request for them, or should the session you're dedicating to another person be played separately i.e. - one request per session only? Thanks very much for your generosity in allowing us to play your MP3's for others. It will make a huge difference in many lives. Many blessings."  - Joanne M. / New Zealand A) "Yes! Yes you can.............. Spirit knows and will always follow along with your intentions." - Jimmy

TGIWednesday and a download for moving beyond Covid-19

TGIWednesday News

Well let’s check in.  How are you doing?  The sky is not falling after all.  You will recover.  We’ve all been through worse. If you’re reading this you have internet/power and or a modern phone, that makes you better off than half of the world. Many people have been comforted and calmed by the Transcending the COVID-19 Crisis audio that we rushed to put out the other week and that's fabulous... and just a reminder that TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO GET IT FREE as a gift w/purchase in the shop and before the price goes up. Click here to check it out now! When things get rough, I get REAL basic in my thanks.  I am thankful for a place to live, clothes, food, water, power, internet friends, family and YOU!  Know that as my sweet momma always said, “and this too shall pass”.  So work on the present, lean into the future and look forward to happy days being here again!  Know that you take your happiness with you wherever you go and we are here to help and contribute to you 7 days a week.

​Hopefully this past Easter weekend brought many of you a little extra happy......it sure did for me as I spent time seeing my granddaughters. Granny Ruth​​ who passed on earlier this year​ surely lives on through Charlie and Blake!  Oh and look​.... the Easter Bunny was making his stroll​ on Sunday​ walking through the neighborhood and at least waving to people LOL​ -​ that is social distancing mask #expertlevel. ​ ​E. Bunny is still alive!

~ MOVING BEYOND ~ Today I will give thanks for the basics of life.I believe, think, know and feel that spirit hears my thankfulness and sends me more. I know, when, where, how and why to stay humble in the face of adversity and continue moving forward. I am ready, willing and able to persevere and weather the storm, knowing that we will come out on the other side, refreshed and renewed. And so it is in all languages and throughout all time lines.

Tell The Fish: 365 Daily Inspirations & Affirmations

APRIL 15th "Today I will relax into my own state of being.  I will not so much try to change people, places or things as much as I will come to terms with how they are.  I will not interpret but rather reach an understanding that this is where I am and I will look forward to what shows up next without judging or criticizing. I will rest upon the ethereal."

From the Fish Box

Q) "Hi Jimmy, I  recently bought your package from "Straight Talk for the Soul" and I'm delighted with it. I just have one question. You mentioned on the call that you could play the MP3's for other people by saying for e.g. "I'd like to play this for (person's name) who is having money problems" and it can be played in the background with the volume on low.  My question is: Can you listen to the MP3 with your own prayer request at the same time as you're playing it on behalf of someone else with a prayer request for them, or should the session you're dedicating to another person be played separately i.e. - one request per session only? Thanks very much for your generosity in allowing us to play your MP3's for others. It will make a huge difference in many lives. Many blessings."  - Joanne M. / New Zealand A) "Yes! Yes you can.............. Spirit knows and will always follow along with your intentions." - Jimmy

In addition, throughout the full 30-days, Jimmy will be dialing into your energetic signature each day upon rising and make certain that you are a clear yes, unclear to no and running forward before you start your day. He is doing the heavy lifting for you around 3am NY time while most of you are asleep in order to smooth out your way and increase your most favorable life outcomes.

Deducting business meals & other expenses on Schedule C

Millions of Americans are self-employed. In the Internal Revenue Service's Statistics of Income count for tax year 2017, more than 26 million of U.S. nonfarm taxpayers filed as sole proprietors, submitting Schedule C along with their annual Form 1040 individual tax returns.

The great thing about Schedule C is that is offers lots of ways sole proprietors, of which I'm one, can reduce our gross self-employment earnings.

But one of those deductions that many likely claimed on their 2017 Schedule C has in subsequent years become a source of confusion and consternation.

The tax break for business meals and entertainment expenses got caught up in the tax code rewrite known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). By the time that hastily-written tax overhaul became law on Dec. 22, 2017, it had eliminated some tax breaks.

Among those that was axed was the business deduction for the costs of entertaining clients, both potential and current.

Business meals, before and after tax reform: Prior to the TCJA, business taxpayers could claim 50 percent of their work-related meal and entertainment expenses. The tax law repealed the deduction for entertainment expenses. Many in the tax world, however, read the legislative language as erasing not only entertainment (and amusement or recreation activities, like taking clients to sporting events) expenses, but also the closely associated business meal costs.

Congress said it meant to do away only with the entertainment, not food, component. The job of putting that intention into practical tax effect was left to the IRS, which has been working on clarifying this deduction since the TCJA's enactment.

On Feb. 21, the tax agency issued the latest in its series of proposed rules on TCJA's changes to allowable meal and entertainment expenses.

This latest rule-making notice, which is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on Feb. 26, reiterates that the costs of business meals while entertaining clients are deductible at 50 percent of the cost as long as they are reflected on a separate receipt.

In addition, the notice examines the deductibilty of other specific food expenditures that were raised by comments on earlier proposed IRS rules in this area. You can read the full, official but-not-yet-published notice for details. I recommend, however, you check the recent blog post on this matter by Ed Zollars of Kaplan Financial Education.  

In that Current Federal Tax Developments item, Zollars notes that "the IRS indicated in the preliminary guidance given in Notice 2018-76 that the agency did not believe the law barred deductions for most meals. The preamble to the [most recent IRS] proposed regulations confirms this treatment."

Schedule C overview: OK, now that meal deductions are cleared up — sort of; the IRS will issue final regulations once it gets comment on this latest proposal after it's published on Feb. 26 — let's take a look at all of Schedule C, this week's Tax Form Tuesday featured document.

In case you're a new sole proprietor who will be attaching a Schedule C to your 1040 for the first time this filing season, don't freak out about the instruction to enter your employer identification number, or EIN. You might not need one, but the IRS' Do You Need an EIN page will help you determine that and, if you do, provides links to where you can apply for one.

You will need, however, to enter your employment code in Box B on Schedule C. You'll find the list of Principal Business or Professional Activity Codes on the last few pages of the Schedule C instructions.

And if you and your spouse each materially participate in your business, take note of Line G. This is where you note that you materially participated in the business. When both husband and wife do so and file a joint return, they can opt to be taxed as a qualified joint venture instead of as a partnership. The Schedule C instructions have more on this election.

Now to the fun stuff. Filling out your Schedule C.

Part I, reporting income: This relatively short section is pretty straightforward.

The IRS wants you to add up all your gross earnings and enter the amount on line 1.

Remember, this includes even those for which you didn't make quite enough to be issued a 1099. You also must report income such as the value of bartered goods or services.

And, as line one notes, this includes income reported to you on a Form W-2 where the "Statutory employee" box on that form was checked. While your report those earnings on Schedule C, Social security and Medicare taxes should have been withheld from your earnings. That means you don't owe self-employment tax on these earnings.

If you sell products instead of services, you'll enter any returns and allowances on line 2 then subtract them to get the amount that goes on line 3.

Line 4 is for more product adjustments, specifically the cost of goods sold from further down the form (line 42). Yep, in figuring the cost of your goods sold to enter here, you have to fill out Part III, coming up later. I know, it's a bit confusing but we are talking taxes here, so….

Line 5 is for gross profit so far, followed by that great catch-all "other" on line 6 for additional earnings. The instructions have more on what could go here (for example, reserve income, bad debts you recovered, interest on notes and accounts receivable).

Finally, on line 7, you get your total, gross income.

Part II, counting up expenses: Now to the more fun stuff. Tallying all the business expenses that can reduce your gross income and thereby cut your tax bill.

Record keeping obviously is crucial here. Good documentation can ensure you write off a wide range of business expenses.

As the image above shows, your expenses cover such things as advertising, auto costs, supplies, legal fees, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and Section 179 expenses, and office expenses, which aren't to be confused (although it's easy to do so) with home office costs. Those are addressed separately in this section.

And don't forget work-related travel and the item that started this whole post, meal expenses incurred while doing business.

I like to use the expense categories listed in this Schedule C section as guidelines for all my expense receipts.

You'll also find in Part II a line (#26) for wages you paid to folks you hired to help you conduct your business, such as bookkeepers, receptionists and salespeople. Production worker salaries, however, are counted as part of the cost of goods sold in Part III (coming up).

There's also a line (#19) for amounts put into pension and profit-sharing plans. This is, however, is for contributions you made for employees of your company, not to your own self-employed retirement account. If the plan included contributions for you, you'll enter those amounts made as an employer on your behalf on your Form 1040 Schedule 1 as adjustment to income.

Now you're starting to see why it's a good idea to have a tax adviser when you're the boss, especially if you have employees!

Underneath the columns for expense amounts, you'll find lines to enter the aforementioned home office deduction, which also require you file Form 8829.

And once you calculate your net profit or loss on 30, you'll be reminded that you also likely will owe self-employment tax.

Part III, cost of goods: If your business sells merchandise to customers, here is where you tally, as the section's header notes, the costs of those goods.

You typically reach this amount when you conduct inventories into account at the beginning and end of your tax year. The tax code allows an exception for small business taxpayers, who can opt not to keep an inventory, but who use a method of accounting for inventory that clearly reflects income.

If, like me, you make your money by providing services instead of selling actual goods, then you can skip sell services instead of goods, then you can skip this section.

Part IV, about your auto: When it comes to business related automotive expenses, you can enter your actual automotive costs (gas, oil changes, repairs, insurance, etc.) or you can take the standard mileage rate that the IRS sets each year.

For 2019 taxes, the standard rate is 58 cents per business mile. For you planning purposes, it drops to 57.5 cents per mile for business travel in 2020.

Regardless of which mileage deduction method you use, don't forget to add your parking fees and tolls to your vehicle cost total.

And note that the IRS wants to know about all your miles on this vehicle, not just your business driving totals. That's why I always note my Chevy's odometer reading on Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of each year.

And because I have tracked my total and my business travel mileage, I can answer "yes" to the last two questions on in this section:

Do you have evidence to support your deduction?

If "Yes," is the evidence written?

Part V, Other Expenses: The last section of Schedule C is a catchall area for all those ordinary and necessary business expenses that didn't seem to fit in the form's previous lines.

This generally includes professional organization membership dues, business publication subscriptions (both for paper and online versions) and business gifts to clients.

The IRS notes, however, there are some items that you can't count here. Do not include the cost of business equipment or furniture or replacements or permanent improvements to property. It's also a hard no in this section on personal, living and family expenses.

You can find more on allowable and disallowed business expenses in IRS Publication 535.

Good or not so good business view: And there you have it. After finishing up Schedule C you have a good overview of just how well (or not) your business is doing, as well as where you're spending money.

While it's no fun paying taxes, at least owing them means that your business made money. Congratulations!

And since you are making money on your business throughout the year, be sure to pay Uncle Sam his portion throughout the year as estimated taxes.

Tuesday: Reflection on the Thirty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Roman Catholic Proper 34 Revised Common Lectionary Proper 29

Complementary Hebrew Scripture Lesson from the Latter Prophets: Isaiah 33:17-22

Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;  they will behold a land that stretches far away. Your mind will muse on the terror:  “Where is the one who counted?  Where is the one who weighed the tribute?  Where is the one who counted the towers?” No longer will you see the insolent people,  the people of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend,  stammering in a language that you cannot understand. Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!  Your eyes will see Jerusalem,  a quiet habitation, an immovable tent, whose stakes will never be pulled up,  and none of whose ropes will be broken. But there the Lord in majesty will be for us  a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go,  nor stately ship can pass. For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our ruler,  the Lord is our king; he will save us.

Semi-continuous Hebrew Scripture from the Latter Prophets: Jeremiah 30:18-24

Thus says the Lord:

I am going to restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob, and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt upon its mound, and the citadel set on its rightful site. Out of them shall come thanksgiving, and the sound of merrymakers. I will make them many, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be disdained. Their children shall be as of old, their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them. Their prince shall be one of their own, their ruler shall come from their midst; I will bring him near, and he shall approach me, for who would otherwise dare to approach me? says the Lord. And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Look, the storm of the Lord!  Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back  until he has executed and accomplished  the intents of his mind. In the latter days you will understand this.

Complementary Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it,  the world, and those who live in it; for he has founded it on the seas,  and established it on the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?  And who shall stand in his holy place? Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,  who do not lift up their souls to what is false,  and do not swear deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the Lord,  and vindication from the God of their salvation. Such is the company of those who seek him,  who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Lift up your heads, O gates!  and be lifted up, O ancient doors!  that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory?  The Lord, strong and mighty,  the Lord, mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates!  and be lifted up, O ancient doors!  that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory?  The Lord of hosts,  he is the King of glory.

Semi-continuous Psalm 117

Praise the Lord, all you nations!  Extol him, all you peoples!¹ For great is his steadfast love toward us,  and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!

¹Paul quotes this verse in Romans 15:11, part of a passage that says the Gospel is for Jews and Gentiles alike

New Testament Lesson: Revelation 22:8-21

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me; but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your comrades the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”

And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”

“See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone's work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murders and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let everyone who hears say, “Come.” And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add that person to the plagues described in this book; if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

The one who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.

What do you miss most?  I miss sitting down in a restaurant, going to the movies, my aqua class at LA Fitness center, and I miss folks going without masks and gloves and general hysteria.  When will “normal” return?  I used to get July, then June, now it’s about the 3rd week in May. Hold on and do your best not to make each day Ground Hog Day - if you haven’t seen the movie now’s the time! And of course pick up our new audio MP3 for Transcending the Coronavirus/Covid-19 Crisis It’s still FREE with any purchase from the shop.  Most folks are getting the $22 Zoom calls (works like a 2 for 1)  but see what works for you.  And keep the faith and all moving forward in prayers with grace and ease. 

Last night's Pink Supermoon was the largest in 2020 - read more about what that means here. -------------- I don't know who wrote this, but it's beautiful. ♥️  "We fell asleep in one world, and woke up in another. Suddenly Disney is out of magic, Paris is no longer romantic, New York doesn't stand up anymore, the Chinese wall is no longer a fortress, and Mecca is empty. Hugs & kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parents & friends becomes an act of love. Suddenly you realize that power, beauty & money are worthless, and can't get you the oxygen you're fighting for. The world continues its life and it is beautiful. It only puts humans in cages. I think it's sending us a message: "You are not necessary. The air, earth, water and sky without you are fine. When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my masters."
