You know how a lot of homes have a sign in their yard with ADT or Brinks Security or one of the many other alarm systems that is installed in their home?  Well a lot of those homes still get broken into but I have found a sigh that just might help stop some of the home break-ins.

No matter if you like Ted Nugents music or not, I can’t argue with his philosophy when it comes to gun control.  I must warn you there are some pretty harsh words but I agree with him.  We have become too soft on repeat offenders.  Just listen with an open mind and maybe you’ll hear what he is saying.

I got this in an email and personally, I do believe that prayers are answered just like this said but that’s my opinion.

A girl went to her friends house and she ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.  She wasn’t afraid because it was a small community and she lived only a few blocks away.  As she walked along under the bike trail Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.

She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God’s protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.

The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her  When the policeman asked him, he answered, ‘Because she wasn’t alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her.  Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you’re not alone.

Did you hear about the Missouri mother on trial in a landmark cyber bullying case was convicted of misdemeanor computer charges instead of felonies in a cruel  Internet hoax played on a 13-year-old girl who later committed suicide?  The federal jury couldn’t reach a verdict on the  conspiracy allegation against 49-year-old Lori Drew and rejected three other  felony counts of accessing computers without authorization to inflict emotional  harm on the girl.

Instead, the panel convicted her of three lesser offenses of just accessing computers without authorization. Each of those counts is punishable by up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.  Drew faced up to 20 years in prison if convicted of the four original counts.   What I don’t understand is why in the world would a 49 year old woman do such a thing?  It’s bad enough that kids go through bullying in school and everywhere else with other kids but a grown woman?  The whole world has gone absolutely stupid it looks like.

I grew up with water and boats being a daily part of my life.  Living in New Orleans, there is plenty of water to enjoy, fish, or what ever you like to do on the water.  I have also seen some terrible boating accidents too.  Being on the water can be fun and too many times, people want to ‘party’ on the water as part of their fun.  All too many times, that type of fun can turn into a tragedy in the blink of an eye.  We have laws against drinking and driving a car and a lot of states now have the same laws for operating a boat and drinking too.  I personally think this is a really good idea.

If you have ever seen a boating accident due to someone drinking, you’ll be glad there are Boating OUI laws too. Stop and think about it, in a car you have air bags, seat belts and all of that medal around you. In a boat, you don’t have any of those things so there is a very good chance that someone will drown from the accident. I’m one person who thinks this is a great law and hope that all states have it too. But that’s my opinion.
