My Hero The IRS Agent
I understand our federal government has means to peruse a blog such as mine. And, perhaps my previous post could be misunderstood or misconstrued to falsely portray the idea that I have a dislike for the Internal Revenue Service or an intention to not pay my fair share of federal taxes. I deeply assure any representative or friend of our wonderful governmental organization, the IRS, that I have the greatest of respect for your task. I know you are singularly composed of good people who simply do your job, and I might add you do it quite well. Surely your compensation is meager compared to the selfless sacrifices you regularly make, and all for the betterment of a nation that we all love dearly. I wish you could see, dear IRS comrade, my prayer list of your agents contained upon my PDA, from which I intercede faithfully on your behalf. Incidentally, I was able only to purchase this list with the meager but fair proceeds received from the last tax refund. With a future refund I wish only to secure the enhanced list, which includes color photos of every agent, which will allow me to carry each of you in my heart and therefore pursue your well-being with even greater diligence.
Nothing would bring greater joy to my heart than for my son or daughter, completely legal as tax deductions, to one day announce to me that they would like to pursue a career with your fine government agency. With pride and a smile I would be able to tell all that my child works for the finest organization and with persons who are the cream-of-the-crop. In closing, please allow me to assure you there is truly no need for you to closely study my tax returns. My abiding respect for you would preclude any variance from paying what I owe. You can trust me. Really, I do not think that you are adequately compensated. Is there anything I could do for you?
And, I understand you may have a few questions concerning some of my friends in this particular blogging arena. I'll be honest with you- some of them are fun to hang out with, but I want you to know that I would never be as questionable with my taxes as they. May I suggest that you forego my measly little return, and peruse theirs with as much scrutiny as neccessary.
Oh, by the way, I have met a few IRS agents. And I will be perfectly honest- they were all, without exception, extremely intelligent with the finest of personality, and with a blush I must say physically appealing. A double thanks for your selfless service!

Truth. Finally... Honest-to-God true truth on PastorDave's blog. Unquestionably the truest truthiness I have ever read on our beloved domain. I only hope a cynical sort of person wouldn't be confused by the eloquense you have shown with these words, and think you might have meant even a fraction of what you've written here in a tongue and cheek vein. Surely not.

I don't think I've ever read anything quite so moving - so refreshingly honest and sincere. Thank you for sharing your heart PD, and may I say I'm in complete agreement!
