If Paul Had EmailEmail has become the easiest, fastest way to communicate with loved ones at a distance, and busy colleagues ten feet away. What did we do before email?Before email we talked to each other and we wrote things down, two sources that created our oral and written histories. While email is a brilliant solution to many communication problems, this technology does have its limitations. A friend who happens to be a church historian posed one of those problems several years back: What are we losing in personal connectedness, and historical records of relationships, documented in electronic missives that are routinely evaporated with a click on the delete button?What would have happened to the gospels if Matthew, Mark, Luke or John had had access to high speed internet email? People may have received the message more quickly, but would anyone have felt the need to save these words on their PC before moving onto the next message advertising a good deal on sacrificial animals down at that little shop outside the temple? What would we know of the epistles, the letters Paul wrote to the churches of Corinth, Rome, Galatia and Ephesus, and his colleagues Timothy and Titus? Would a...more

Depreciation is defined as a portion of the cost that reflects the use of a fixed asset during an accounting period. A fixed asset is an item that has a useful life of over one year. An accounting period is usually a month, quarter, six months or one year. Lets say you bought a desk for your office on January 1, for $1000 and it was determined that the desk had a useful life of seven years. Using a one year accounting period and the straight-line method of depreciation, the portion of the cost to be depreciated would be one-seventh of $1000, or $142.86. Most non-accountants roll their eyes and shudder when the topic of depreciation comes up. This is where the line in the sand is drawn. Depreciation is far too complicated to try and figure out, or so it seems to many. But is it really? Surely the definition of depreciation mentioned above is not that difficult to comprehend. If you look closely you will see that there are five pieces of information you must have in order to determine the amount of depreciation you can deduct in one year. They are: -The nature of the item purchased (the desk). -The date the item was placed in service (Jan 1). -The cost of the item ($1000). -The...more
