Scam Alert!!

Dearest In Christ,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Houphouet Dolores. from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Houphouet Patrick who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christian.
Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$5.5million dollars in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.Presently, this money is still in bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem.
The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a charity organization that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want an organization that will use this fund for orphanages, school and church ,widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth".I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight for my case and I shall hold my peace". I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always.
I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Contact me on this email :address: houphouet_dolores118@yahoo.fr :any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Houphouet Dolores.

The Difference Ted Bundy and Myself

I once actually met this monster. It occurred in the county jail at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, back in 1977, shortly before he made the first of his two escapes from that state's custody. This event ... referring to both our fated encounter, along with the subsequent escapes, and ensuing panic ... were key ingredients in the overall formula Satan had used in his own failed effort at molding me into something similar.

I came as close to being another such person as anyone could ever possibly be, without crossing that last, thin line, seperating the worlds of fantasy and reality. I cannot explain how Bundy became what he was. Yet I can describe my own dark story ... of how I "evolved" from an adolescent who discovered his first copy of Playboy magazine ... into someone who, two decades later, was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison ... as the result of a failed action that was very Bundy-like in nature.

I wish to offer a powerful testimony. Should anyone here be interested, I direct your attention to my profile page. In the blog area, you shall find something entitled "The Shadow Whispers" which is where my tale will be told over the course of upcoming weeks. I would also suggest familiarizing yourself with an earlier blog-story of mine called "The Girl I Never Knew" wherein I tell of my salvation.

For yes, though I once walked a path of darkness that would have surely wrought terrible destruction, our Great God intervened to prevent such a thing from ever occurring. That is the difference between Bundy and myself. He became a rapist and killer. I myself did not. I don't know how God works in such matters. Why one was allowed to become a monster, with the other being saved at the proverbial last moment.

There are those within my church, including our very Godly pastor, who believe that this is precisely why I was saved ... to share my story with other people. Perhaps that explains it as well as anything. "The Shadow Whispers" is my humble attempt at doing what I feel I must.

how do single moms protect themselves n their home

Recently a woman in her mid twenties was sexually assulted in her home. The guy was supposively a friend of hers. She tutored his children. He stopped by her house to see if he could talk to her. this was the first time she had let him in her home the entire time they've been friends. She showed him around and the next thing she knew he had her in a choke/sleeper hold. she pasted out. when she came to he was still inside of her. she tried to reach for the knife under her pillow but he ended up using it against her. tellin her he would kill her if she screamed out. she didn't want to wake her three children up and so she did as she was told. after he left her house she called the cops. she had the rape kit done took a lie detector test and told them who the guy was. the cops are too busy to investigate the crime. It's been three weeks since the crime had happened and nothing is being done. she asked me why does this happen? I didn't know what to tell her except that God will heal her in time. so how do single moms protect themselves in their own home? it's not right that anyone should ever go through that and cops being too busy to help. what do i tell her on how to keep herself and her children safe?

Children abducted from their own homes.....

It seems like there have been several stories over the last few years of children being abducted right out of their own homes while their parents sleep. The most recent heartbreaking story involved a young girl who was murdered and found dead by her mother the next morning! Her mother had left her sleeping on the couch, went to bed herself, and someone was able to get to her daughter and do this vicious act.

We think our children are safe just because they are in our own homes, but that might not be the case. I feel compelled to post this, because I want to remind everyone to BE AWARE of where your children are, even if they are in your own home! Make sure that the doors and windows are locked before you go to bed for the night, and set the alarm if you have one. Use precautions to make sure there is no way for someone to enter (or exit) your home while you are asleep.

Never assume you or your children are safe just because they are in the house. Please err on the side of protection!

Single Women and Single Mother Safety

It not easy to trust anyone when you're a single woman or a single mother and have to face your everyday life on your own. There are thing in your life that you have to be done such as work, grocery shopping and etc. How do you stay safe and how far can you trust someone in your home, even if the person if a friend? Trust has a thin line. If it crossed or broken it's not easy to repair.
Now ask yourself:
Q: How much should I trust anyone?
A: This much;
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Anything passed this point and it makes you feel uncomfortable is a violation of your space. Move back, out of the way or ask the person nicely to step back. It's your life so safety should always be in your everyday life. I'm not saying don't trust anyone but just use "Awareness" because even a friend can turn you into a victim. Always thinking of your safety, Michael

Beware of this method for breaking into your house

I think someone tried to break into our house. This morning when my husband was leaving for work, he found that someone had tried to pry the peep-hole off of our front door. My husband works for a company that does security systems and locksmithing, etc so he knows what he is talking about here! He said that there is a method of breaking in where a person pries off the peep hole and sticks something through it that can grab on to the lock from the inside and unlock the door! Then when they leave, the just put the peep hole back in and close the door unlocked. It looks like you forgot to lock your front door!

We have a double cylindered deadbolt on our front door. In other words, you need a key to open it from either side of the door. You might want to consider something like that if you have a peep hole or a window in or near your front door.

Just FYI.
