Tip of the Day 5/17/12

4 Things Disaster Experts recommend to be prepared.
1) Buy the right insurance. Disaster policies can be costly, but not as costly as the disaster. Review your policies carefully.
2) Buy upper story escape ladders, and practice using them. You won't figure it out in the middle of a fire.
3) Keep important papers and at least $100 cash in a fire safe to grab if you need to evacuate.
4) Have an emergency plan for where the family will meet in case you are separated.

We all pray we never face a disaster, but being prepared will help if you ever do. 

Word for Today, Upright: Sadly this is not a word we hear used very often to describe a person because it is becoming more rare to find someone that this description fits. When a person does come along that appears to be upright media and society start looking for any little thing that will prove the person is not. It is tragic that the world seems to take so much pleasure in finding something wrong with people rather than rejoicing in the good. It was no different when Jesus walked the earth. The religious leaders followed Him around just looking for something they could say was wrong in His actions. Often times He chose to not answer their accusations, and when He did answer them He used God's Word as His source. When the world stands against you turn to God's Word for the answers. There are many times we need to just keep our mouths shut before our accusers, but if we answer it should be in grace. If you are choosing to live according to what you believe God's Word teaches, there will be trials, but stand firm, in love, on your beliefs. "He holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless." "As He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct."
