COME ON IN

Gone are the days when cooks leave pies on the window-sill to cool.

Its just to tempting for a passer-by, stray animal or even bugs to render the dessert lost or inedible. Modern cooks, working in modern kitchens, use modern techniques & technologies to prepare, cool & store food.

So why is it that so many modern homes are still being protected from unlawful entry by a small length of chain & a few screws?

Whether you home is modest

Or a monument

Your HOME is Your Castle

And deserves to be Guarded as such.

Your family, property & pets should be shielded from harm & mishaps with layers of protection.

Starting with gates, locks, bars

& with a monitored Security System that Alerts you,

ADT’s Monitoring Centers & the proper Authorities, should there be a fire, flood, intrusion or carbon monoxide threat.

People often ask me if ADT is hiring, and I always tell them yes. Truth is, there's always openings in professions that set high standards. Opportunity abounds in fields that require high performance, self discipline, drive, tolerance, self motivation, acquired skills and an appreciation for quality. People who need to be told what to do, when & how to do it, simply don't thrive in environments that demand constant adjustment, creativity and a penchant for problem solving. Working at ADT is not tactile, never redundant and it's certainly not stagnant, as technology constantly changes the playing field. It's a place where You are the master of Your own destiny.
Protecting What Matters Most!

LOCK DOWN

Ok!

   So, school is out and you get to worry while you work. Are the kids ok? Are they safe inside or riding their bikes in traffic? Is the sitter feeding them on time or just rushing a snack before you get back?

I'm a Mom and a Grandmother, so I know all the questions that run amuck in your brain when you aren't with your children. And, as a child advocate, I recommend ADT Solutions, not just because I'm an ADT Security Consultant, but because I was a latch-key kid. I know first hand, the challenges of parenting and the opportunities that presents themselves to unattended children. 

ADT has solutions that allow you to monitor everything from the opening of doors to how high the AC is turned up. Personally, I enjoy the video monitoring that allows you SEE who's in your home. 

No longer do you have to call the house and hope they haven't forwarded the call to their cell. If you want to know if you child is at home, simply log onto the web and view your cameras. 

I'm not talking SPYING. I'm talking checking up & checking on. Monitoring routines. Like...

...are they studying or watching TV all day?

...are there people in your house that you disapprove of?

...is there any bullying taking place?

...and a multitude of other questions that plague our minds when we go to work each day and leave our children at home alone or with a sitter.

ADT is more than a noise to frighten burglars away. ADT is total home management (Business Too) but that's another topic for another day. 

ADT is all that futuristic stuff we saw in the movies, when we were kids ourselves. Opening doors and turning on lights before we get out of the car...that's just a taste. Knowing what's happening when it happens...now that's futuristic.

ADT LOCKS YOUR HOUSE DOWN SO TIGHT THAT THOUGHTS CAN'T ESCAPE!!!

Going on vacation? No worries!

Travel for a living? Still, no worries.

That's what the ADT peace of mind is all about. 

IF YOU LIVE IN MISSISSIPPI, CALL ME NOW AT 662-582-1105 TO LEARN MORE!

As you can probably tell, I love talking about what ADT can do...SMILE*

WATCH AS WELL AS PRAY

Quasimodo and Esmeralda sought sanctuary in the Cathedral. We too seek the protection of the Church in times of tribulation & great fear. But God dwells in our hearts, that is where He truly makes His home, not in a building. This is why we must not be confused about the safety of our houses of worship. The house of The Lord has the same needs as our domiciles. The bills must be paid to keep the utilities turned on. The grounds must be kept and the repairs made. The church, however Holy, will not clean itself - someone must vacuum and dust.

So; that stated, why is it that we put bars and alarms on our homes and expect God to work over-time keeping the church safe from thieves and vandals? The church is valuable property and should be protected as such. 

In the dusty-country, where I live, most houses of worship have no plans in place to thwart theft, fire, violence, molestation or any other calamities that are increasingly befalling modern-day sanctuaries. What’s worse is the lack of thought given to fact that it could happen to any of us at any given time. Rarely are such issues discussed in board meetings. Yet we are appalled when the headlines read of tragedy in a neighboring county/town.

Taking a stand for safety in the church is a pro-active and productive move. People are frightened and it’s only good leadership to alleviate those fears by implementing measures to combat church-place crime before it arises.

Here are some helpful links for educating your parish, family and community.  Remember…it’s not weakness to protect the ones you love - it’s smart.

WHEN OPERTUNITY KNOCKS

There is no such thing as a “Victimless Crime.” Wrong doing always leaves someone worse off, than had the crime not been committed.  There are three types of criminals:

The Opportunist. 

This type of criminal makes choices within blurred moral boundaries, often believing that they aren’t hurting anyone or that their actions are fine as long as they don’t get caught. This person won’t pick your pocket or rob you at gun point. But if he/she finds a wallet, they will keep the money. They won’t break into a house or car, but if the door is open or the windows are down, they may help themselves to any accessible goodies. The Opportunist takes advantage of an unfortunate situation, even at the expense of others.

The Opportunist is also referred to as ( The Petty Criminal ) as their criminal activities are often low in loss value and almost never involves physical harm or danger.

The Hardened Criminal.

Opposite of the petty criminal, the hardened criminal makes judgment calls base purely on criminal intent. 

Breaking and Entering/Burglary…………..Battery

Armed robbery……………………………..Crimes of Passion

Car jacking………………………………....Arson

Pandering……………………………….......Extortion

Bullying..………………………………........Bookmaking

Embezzlement………………………………Vice

Bunko………………………………..............Racketeering 

The hardened criminal engages these activities despite the possible ramifications of imprisonment or even death. They make choices based on perceived needs or desires and consequences are usually weighed only after they have been apprehended.

Masterminds and Psychotics

These types of criminals are becoming more prevalent in society because of the breakdown of the nuclear family and the preponderance of violence in the media which relentlessly depicts graphic gratuitous scenes and hateful lyrics. While mastermind criminals often suffer from schizophrenia and delusions of grandeur, psychotics may suffer pathological tendencies (uncontrollable urges) or lack empathy and other human traits that allow peaceful social adjustment. These are people who genuinely feel they have little or no control over their own actions or the may even feel compelled to do things by forces outside themselves; such as Aliens or hearing voices. 

Urges may evolve gradually. They may plot for years to commit a crime. Or they may simply snap (Go Postal: a catch phrase of the seventies to depict mass shootings in public places).

Pedophilia………………………………...............Terrorism

Serial Killings……………………………….........Genocide

War-Lording/Gang-Lording……………………...Rape

Torture………………………………....................Kidnapping

Crimes of the most heinous nature are often committed by persons with deep mental and emotional wounds/gaps. They lack empathy; the human quality that permits one to understand and identify with the suffering of another. They may be hopelessly entwined in Satanic activity. They may even see their victims as Things and not People. 

It is up to each of us to act in a fashion that improves our own level of personal safety. We must teach our children to watch for the signs of instability in the people around them, lest they fall victims to those who prey on innocence and kindness. The world is full of goodness and beauty, but wickedness abounds and we mustn’t give it an opportunity to take root in our homes or our hearts.
