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 :=. "Praise the LORD, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!" ~Psalm 117:1-2 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Praise the Lord." What does praising God mean? It means being grateful to God for all the wonderful things in the universe and all the blessings in our lives. We can praise God by being grateful and humble. Praise of this kind has more power to vanquish evil than has mere resignation. The truly grateful and humble person who is always praising God is not tempted to do wrong. We can have a feeling of security because we know that fundamentally all is well. So we can look to God and praise God. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may be grateful for all my blessings. I pray that I may humbly accept all that God has given me. .=: 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 :=.

We pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at home. We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a good day! .=: A D A I L Y B L E S S I N G :=. http://message.viditalk.com/ver12/showvideo.asp?vid=38058.65105 For a video blessing from Father Pat, just click the link above.
