Hackers

So I recently fell victim to hackers! URGH! Some how my email got hacked and lovely span messages sent to my entire address book. So once again, if you received an email from that included a link - DELETE!

So how do you protect yourself against hackers?

Here is a good article that helps explain what can happen:

The best thing I can think of is to constantly change your password - and make them difficult to crack. Trust me using your name or your birthday is one of the first things hackers try.

Good luck and stay hacker-free!!

Easter

As Easter approaches, ask yourself this question: did I stay true to my Lenten commitments? If the answer is yes - that's wonderful, if it's not - why?

Easter is a wonderful holiday, and this week - Holy week - is my favorite Christian week. It reminds us of what God did to save us. Imagine if you had to watch your son be tortured and killed.

Here is a great Web site that walks through the Passion Of Christ: http://www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/SFS/an0201.asp

Just remember what God did, so we can live.

Have a wonderful Holy week and Easter!

Facebook postings

So yesterday, I posted the lyrics to RESPECT. Little did I know that it would be blown out of proportion. I got comments asking if I was ok, my boyfriend got phones calls asking what he did to me, etc. I finally had to post again saying that I just had the lyrics in my head.

I have decided that people really need to get a life - yes it's nice that everyone is concerned, but seriously, get off Facebook. If you are that concern then call me.

This is not the first time this has happened to me. It's not like I post exactly where I am so that someone stalker can find me. Or that something horrible has happened to me - you know things that would get others to really worried. I just post quotes or verses that are on my mind that day...or something funny. Maybe I should not post at all. Then what really is the point of Facebook? To monitor people's posts? Shall we call that politely stalking?

Anymore, I've found myself saying: "Well, I guess I'll see you on Facebook." How sad is that??

So, should I stop posting, or make my post idiot proof? Maybe I am over-reacting and people were just trying to be nice. Any suggestions?

My lenten journey - temption of Christ

The Temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11)
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."

Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:
" 'He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."

Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test."

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only."

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Can you imagine be tempting by the Devil? Going 40 days without food??

We are faced everyday with numerous temptations. How we handle those temptations, helps define our relationship with Christ. Our lenten sacrifice is a wonderful offering to the Lord. He loves the fact that we are not doing things we normally do, to please Him. Granted, we should do it every day, not just during lent. This year, so far it's been a challenge, but it's so worth it.
