Attitudes are like tires…You have to change them if you want to go forward

“Before you speak, listen.

Before you write, think.

Before you spend, earn.

Before you invest, investigate.

Before you criticize, wait.

Before you pray, forgive.

Before you quit, try.

Before you retire, save.

Before you die, give.”

~William Arthur Ward

Have a beautiful day!

Ingredients

Kosher salt

12 ounces linguine

1 1/4 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

5 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/3 cup dry white wine

Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
2. Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate. Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and simmer until slightly reduced, 2 minutes. 
3. Return the shrimp and any juices from the plate to the skillet along with the linguine, butter and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Continue to cook, tossing, until the butter is melted and the shrimp is hot, about 2 minutes, adding more of the reserved cooking water as needed. Season with salt; stir in the parsley. Serve with lemon wedges. 

Talking to God

“Pray, then, in this way…” – Matthew 6:9a

Jesus’ disciples would often see Him go off on His own to pray.

Curious to learn more, they asked Him to teach them how to pray. Now, there’s no real mystery to praying – after all, you’re just talking to your Heavenly Father – it should be like talking to your best friend.

But Jesus knew His disciples needed help, as we often do, so here is a summary of the conversation that followed:

• Address God as Father – Through Jesus, we can know God personally as our Father who is the embodiment of the ideal dad.
• Praise – Praise God’s name and character traits. This helps keep our problems in perspective when viewed in comparison to God’s matchless greatness!
• Pray for His will to be done – Share your concerns and requests with God, but remember to pray for His will to be done in your life and in the lives of others.
• Pray for daily needs – God wants to meet our needs, but don’t confuse your needs with your wants.
• Confess your sins – Ask God’s forgiveness when you sin and for God’s help in forgiving others when they wrong you.
• Ask for protection and strength in the face of temptation and evil.

Jesus taught the basics of prayer, but prayer doesn’t end there. Whatever else you need to talk about with God, go ahead and tell Him. He wants to hear from you.

Find a quiet spot and give it a try.

And, remember, your prayer life gets better with practice.

It had great food, but no atmosphere.

Nothing, it just waved.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine will likely lead to a significant increase in global cybercrime.

A potent new form of malware has already emerged since the initial attack began. Companies and consumers in the U.S. should be on alert for an increase in the number of phishing emails that contain dangerous malware.

We’ve seen the pattern before: in the past two years, cybercrime goes up when high-profile news stories break. Phishing emails, ransomware, and financial scams targeting U.S. companies and individuals grew significantly during COVID outbreaks, the creation of fiscal stimulus packages, and election controversies. There are already signs that cybercrime linked to the conflict in Ukraine will spread globally.

> McAfee says phishing emails related to the Ukraine attack will be particularly effective. Scammers can easily create highly topical fake emails, and payoffs are large because readers are aware and curious about the topic.

> ZDNet says this week’s major attacks on the power grid, banking, and other Ukrainian infrastructure, are seen as a “large-scale test” for use later against targets around the world.

> Already a growing threat to companies, ransomware is evolving quickly. Today, British newspaper The Guardian says a newly discovered type of ransomware attacks firewalls, bypassing traditional methods of cyber protection. To distribute the new malware, criminals use emails with compelling subject lines designed to get recipients to download and open attachments.

​

> MIT says, because it’s impossible to localize a cyber-attack, the impact on Ukraine will quickly grow across the globe. In 2017, Russian malware called Petya and WannaCry, targeted at Ukraine, caused $10 billion in damages in the US, according to the Department of Homeland Security, making it the most expensive cyberattack in history.

​

> Disinformation campaigns are ramping up. Barron’s reports social media posts in Eastern Europe showing doctored photos and videos attributed to credible news sources, along with a spike in anti-Western content, are growing.

***Slow down when going through your emails and texts. Be suspicious of emails that are urgent or compelling.

***Trust your gut. Does a message seem odd, even if it’s from someone you know well? Be suspicious. 

​

***Don’t open attachments unless you know the sender and you’re expecting the document.

​

***If you receive an email or text asking you to provide or change personal information, send money, or log in to an account, call the sender directly using the phone number you have (not the one in the email) to confirm the message is genuine.
