Lead me from death To life, from falsehood to truth
Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust.

SPECIAL YEAR-END GIVING OPPORTUNITY
Between now & December 31, 2007, taxpayers over age 70 1/2 can avoid paying income tax on IRA distributions of up to $100,000 by donating them directly from tax-deferred IRAs to qualified charitable organizations (such as a church or other tax exempt organizations such as
St. Malachi Center or
Malachi House). What this could mean: if your required minimum distribution is $10,000 and you are in the 15% tax bracket, you could donate the $10,000 directly to the church or charity and NOT pay $1,500 in federal income tax. Please note that amounts excluded from income under this provision cannot be taken into account in determining the charitable contribution deduction. Please consult your financial advisor for details.

He rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. - Mt 2:19-21
