Perspective.

I keep telling myself...99% percent of what I am doing now will not matter in 99years. Point? What will matter is the relationship that I have with God.  One of the commandments is (in a nut shell) " Do not worship false Gods"  I received this today  via a daily scripture reading ( these aren't my own words) 

"We may not worship false gods like the people of Old Testament times but our false gods today include education, job status and success, power, an abundance of wealth in terms of our homes, cars, vacations, and the like, and even our own children. For instance, a child's Sunday sports schedule is more sacred than the Sunday Mass schedule. Because you are on vacation does not remove the obligation to celebrate Sunday Mass. "

GUILTY AS CHARGED!

Wow. I tell myself everyday nothing is more important than my relationship with God. But doing is another story. I am recommitting myself to daily mass and adoration. I am making a more structured prayer and faith life for my children. We never ever miss weekend mass. But that is the minimum. My intentions are always to go to daily mass. But so much (nothingness) gets in the way. Dah!  I know better, the more time I give to God, the better my life will be.

In other news, this might be boring..... How to freeze your credit.... Yes, boring, but essential. You might see those companies out there like Life Lock that charge millions to protect your identity. I did it myself and my hubby for $30, with all 3 credit bureaus. It works. My mom is in the banking industry. She tried to run my credit. BAM!  NA NA. Lock down. I have a code to remove the lock on it. But  no one else can access my credit or steal me, without me knowing. Doing this also cut down on preapproved credit card offers. This is the link that will give you step by step instructions.... http://clarkhoward.com/topics/credit_freeze_states.html

Ok, enough being mom to the Internet abyss today. WORD>
