Recommending church security systems

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 3:14 PM, Jen

Looking out my window the snow gently falling on the ground reminds me of what time of year is quickly approaching. We're getting closer and closer to my favorite holiday season. The day after thanksgiving we all transition to the spirit of Christmas and everything we do becomes about that air of giving and kindness. This is the time of year when I personally do a lot of volunteering and get my family their gifts. I am not one to wait until the last moment to make such an important decision. Sometimes I buy things so early I tend to get a little bit too much for people. I have a lot of time to see things that I know that they would like to receive and that makes it harder to just buy them one or two things.

This year I will not only by volunteering at the food bank on Christmas, I will also be doing a lot of work for my church. This last year we had a bunch of problems during the Christmas season and unfortunately we have to change some things within the church to make ourselves a little more secure about the holiday this year. Last year we had a few incidents where people broke in to the church and either destroyed some things or they actually stole some pretty important items that we all had to replace. Since I am in school for electronics they asked me and a few other guys who own homes and security systems to install one here. The only real difficulty there is that none of us know anything about church security systems so we have to a do a lot of research and figure out what works for our particular building.

Personally I think that this year is going to be just as great as every other year. Even with the negative events of the last season, I still found the peace of mind and happiness that I have in the past. For me it is just about being able to humble yourself and do for others when you still have plenty to do for yourself.
