Thankful for BIG Blessings

My daughter and her family recently suffered a car accident where their van was totaled and her entire family walked away uninjured. Let me tell you…this is the kind of thing that makes you get down on your knees and tearfully thank God for His mercy. Watching them work their way through the maze of insurance quotes and trying to decide what they were going to do with their totaled van has been quite an experience. In the end, they decided to take a settlement, buy the van back and get it fixed. After a long few weeks, they finally got their van back on Friday and they are now back to a two-car family again.

Security Cameras

As I was shopping today, my eye caught a sign informing customers about security cameras that the shopping center was using to record customer activities. Got me to thinking…how do I feel about this? How do you feel about this? Does it seem like a privacy invasion…or a necessarily evil…or both? I admit that the thought of shoplifters raising everybody’s bottom line and creating inflated prices just to help a store recoup losses makes me angry. So…I guess security cameras are something to accept and ignore…as long as you are a law-abiding citizen.
