Most of us have received e-mails, mostly from Nigeria or another African Country. They come from various relatives of someone who died with a lot of money, who wants to get money out of the country and give some to you, who wants to give to charity, who is dying of an incurable disease and wants to do something nice for you. They most often ask for your phone number, e-mail address and other information. Then they'll contact you and want to send a check, or transfer the money directly into your bank account. Of course they'll need account numbers. It's a SCAM every time. Somebody actually sent me a check for four thousand dollars this year. I was supposed to wire $2000 to someone in Florida and keep the rest. Needless to say the account didn't exist and the check would have bounced, after I'd sent money on. The best tip . don't respond! _________________________________________________ .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." ~Ephesians 4:31-5:2 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We cannot believe in God and keep our selfish ways. When we believe more strongly in God, we begin to abandon our selfish ways. The old self can shrivel up and die, and God's image can become much clearer. The gradual elimination of selfishness in the growth of love for God and our fellow human beings is a wonderful goal in our lives. As the picture grows, we can reveal more and more of the likeness of God until those who see us can see in us the power of God's grace at work in a human life. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may grow in my likeness to God. I pray that others may see in me some of the power of God's grace at work. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
