Protecting America's Consumers

False Alarm, Real Scam Campaign In a world increasingly connected through digital platforms, distinguishing genuine threats from deceptive scams is crucial. Here's a breakdown of "false alarms" and "real scam campaigns" in various contexts:   1. False alarms Misleading Information:  This can take many forms, including posts that go viral on social media platforms like  Facebook , claiming events like endangered officers or local incidents that are later debunked by authorities. Errors in Automated Systems:  Software designed to detect problematic content can generate false alerts. For instance, an Associated Press analysis of data showed that a significant portion of alerts from a student surveillance software in one school district were deemed non-issues, including false alarms from student homework. Misinterpreted Communications:  Official communications can sometimes be misconstrued, leading to confusion. An example is a letter about mandatory alarm system re...

“The Train of Life”

By
Image
       Periodically I am moved by a poem or quote that I have read or received.  If you follow me, you know that one of those poems is by  Rudyard Kipling “If.”    The Train of Life  At birth, we board the train and meet our parents, and we believe they will always travel by our side. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum. Some, however, will go so unnoticed that we don’t realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves. The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which stati...

Scientists & God

By
Image
    They are some scientists that do not believe in God, while others do. While there is no scientific consensus that God does or does not exist, as science focuses on natural explanations and empirical evidence.     This may lead some scientists to find the concept of God unnecessary. Not-With-Standing the fact that science “cannot disprove or prove” the existence of God, then it is the religious belief ( Hebrews 11:1)   that involves faith and supernatural ( Leviticus 19:31)    explanations, which are not within the realm of scientific inquiry.      Scientists that do not believe in God because they are not a part of nature, supernatural entities that cannot be investigated by science directly. In that sense, science and religion are separate and address aspects of human understanding in different ways.      Attempts to pit science and religion against each other create controversy where none ...

The Forgotten Heroes

  I saw her from a distance As she walked up to the wall In her hand, she held some flowers As her tears began to fall And she took out pen and paper As to trace her memories She looked up to heaven And the words she said were these She said, "Lord, my boy was special, and he meant so much to me And though I'd love to see him just one more time, you see All I have are the memories and the moments to recall So Lord, could you tell him, he's more than a name on a wall?" She said, "He really missed the family And being home on Christmas day And he died for God and Country In a place so far away" "I remember just a little boy Playing war since he was three Lord, this time I know He's not coming home to me" She said, "Lord, my boy was special, and he meant so much to me And though I'd love to see him, but I know it just can't be So I thank you for my memories and the moments to recall But Lord, could you tell him, he's more than a n...

Tomorrow

By

I don't know about tomorrow because it's not promised.        Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. I just live from day to day because tomorrow may never come      Ephesians 6: 15 - 17  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. I don't borrow from its sunshine because it provides for me on its own      Matthew 5:45  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust For its skies may turn to grey because God said rain makes a new day      Isaiah 46:4  And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hai...

Your Past

By

    We all have some type of past. It consists of Good, Bad, Happy, Sad, Delighted, and Despair, but it's just our past to Christ.              I see post on social media all the time like, "We forget that waking up in the morning each day is the first thing we should be grateful for," or "Some people died in their sleep, but God woke you up again. Stop whatever you are doing. THANK GOD"               I'm not thankful I woke up each day or I may have dead in my sleep. I'm thinkful for God Grace and Salvation He brought to me from the Cross.  While I'm awake now and may be gone the next, I'm "More Thankful" that Christ has saved my soul, gave me Salvation and His kingdom of eternal life at His side. I’ve lost several people in April to death and over years past, and only pray that they found Christ before then.                Phillip Ray Homes   ...
