Depending on your age or where you grew up, you probably remember never locking the door to your house. It seems like just yesterday, but those days are long gone. Our way of life has changed rapidly. People do not know their neighbors as well as they once did.
The following are some crime facts in neighborhoods today.
- Burglary and thefts from auto's are the most prevalent neighborhood crimes.
- Household burglary is one of the easiest crimes to commit, and to prevent.
- Most home burglars are young amateurs looking for easy targets.
- In over one-half of household burglaries, there was no forced entry involved.
- Most home intrusions occur during daylight hours while homeowners are away.
Is the choice either to be burgled or turn your house into a high tech security fortress? Not at all. The first step is to know the ways burglars break into your home and what to look out for to reduce your chance of being burgled. Inexpensive precautions like installing better locks will make your dwelling more secure while at the same time a less desirable choice for the criminal. Install outdoor motion sensor lights. This is an inexpensive way to reduce the risk of someone coming onto your premises at night. Make sure you do not make it obvious that you are away. Have a neighbor pick up your mail. Make a list of all your valuable items. Neighborhood Watch is a proven crime-reduction program. Members watch out for their neighbors and report suspicious activities to their local police department.
What about installing a home security or surveillance system? Undoubtedly the largest benefit you receive when an alarm is installed in your home is the peace of mind in knowing that the percentage of homes that are broken into with an alarm is 97% less than homes that do not have an alarm. The homeowner should have a basic knowledge of the types of systems available to make the most cost effective choice. Perimeter sensors protect each door and window and detect an initial entry attempt. Motion sensors detect an intruder moving inside the house. Systems are either hardwired or wireless, using radio signals. Once an intrusion is detected the alarm system can sound a local alarm or contact an alarm monitoring company. The security representative surveying your home and living patterns can make recommendations for your best protection.
With the level of home intrusion increasing everyday there has never been a better time to make sure your home is secure.

BLOCKS FOR BUILDING A GODLY HOME
The success or the fulfillment of any marriage depends on its foundation and building materials used .If couples dig deep and lay the foundation of their marriage on a solid rock which is the word of God,christ,love,unity and faithfulness,their homes will always stand the test of time .Even if the rain descends,the flood come and the wind the marriage,it will stand because its foundation is laid on a solid rock.Coversely any marriage that does not have its foundation laid on the word of God ,christ ,love ,unity and faithfully,such a marriage is comparable to the house that has its foundation on a sinking sand.The Bible says,"The rain descended ,and the floods came ,and the wind blew ,and beat that upon that house;and it fell! and great was the fall of it"(matt 7:27),
