Go team, go!

[Texas DPS @TxDPS]

Winter weather is on its way to Texas — and now is the time to prepare. @TxDPS offers the following tips to help ensure your home is ready before and during the upcoming #winter storm.

❄ Insulate outside faucets and pipes near outer walls.
❄ Make sure furnaces, heaters, fireplaces and wood stoves are clean, well-ventilated and in good working condition.
❄ Stock up on firewood and supplies, including canned goods, bottled water and medication.
❄ Keep space heaters at least 3 ft. away from walls and combustible materials, including furniture and bedding. Turn them off when you’re away or sleeping.
❄ To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, never operate a generator or other fuel-powered device inside a home, garage or other enclosed space.
❄ Never heat your home with a gas stove or oven.

Tech-savvy thieves exploit obits, online posts to strike homes while families grieve, expert warns https://t.co/t1gPCaocqF #FoxNews

Surprisingly, the article makes it sound like there wasn’t an active security system in place as the player came home to find out what had happened…

This is the latest example of a professional athlete’s home being broken into while they are away for a game. This is why we always recommend setting your alarm system when you are away. https://t.co/SSPsLH8sc4

Today’s reading. What words for today.

Luke 6:27-38

Jesus said to his disciples:

"To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well,
and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic.

Give to everyone who asks of you,
and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

For if you love those who love you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you?
Even sinners do the same.
If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners,
and get back the same amount.

But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,
and lend expecting nothing back;
then your reward will be great
and you will be children of the Most High,
for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.

Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful.

Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.

Forgive and you will be forgiven.

Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.

For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you."

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking.

You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.

Reading an email from a client that says they found the equipment online for less than I quoted, and just wants us to install it

Underrated life advice: The “cheap” option is often the most expensive in the long run. Applies to products, but also decisions. Hacks and shortcuts are cheap decisions. They may sound good now, but when you cut corners to “save” you just pay for it later (with interest).

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Do hard things. Because there’s nothing better than a hard-earned win. The pain. The struggle. The resilience. The grit. And then, the reward. The joy of knowing that you paid the cost of entry for the thing you wanted to achieve. Hard things are good for the soul.

“Burglary tourism” is an amazing phrase

[Kevin Dalton @TheKevinDalton]

California homeowner finds a camera that was covertly installed by felons plotting to loot his place.

And it turns out this is happening in neighborhoods all over the state.

Investigators have linked the cameras to burglary tourism groups visiting from South America.

Your entire life will change when you realize that you have to sacrifice short-term freedom in order to earn long-term freedom. Instant gratification will kill your dreams. Sacrifice is the cost of entry. Delayed gratification is the key to the life you want.
