Thought for Monday August 8

Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
He has granted peace in your borders;
with the best of wheat he fills you.
He sends forth his command to the earth;
swiftly runs his word!
Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

What are the 10 best things taxes have been used to pay for? What are the 10 worst things taxes are used for?

Action: Use your time, talent and/or treasure to improve a situation that tax money just can’t help.
