Memo of Integrity, Self Control and Keeping Pests Away

Self Control Part 1

"All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God." (Deuteronomy 28:2 niv)
According to Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, the word obey means "to follow the commands or guidance of; to conform or comply with." To obey, we must listen and discipline ourselves to do something. Our Heavenly Father offers us so much if we are willing to live up to His commands. He offers us things-things we have gotten in the right way. The principles by which He wants us to operate are eternal. His ways are not obsolete relics. They are ways of common sense, practical for everyday living.
Throughout the Belief Principle Series, we will hear much about what makes a man successful. Remember that God promises blessing and prosperity to those who will discipline (control) themselves. Discipline and self-control are virtues common among all famous and successful men.

How to Keep Mosquitoes Out of the Yard!


* Mosquitoes like to nest in and around standing water, so at least once a week make sure all standing water from flower pots, buckets, cans, pet dishes, etc. is emptied, especially after rain.
* Clear out clogged rain gutters to get rid of debris, rotting leaves, and standing water.
* Change often the water in any birdbaths or water fountains located on your property.
* There are a myriad of mosquito and bug sprays available on the market that can be used on your lawn to ward off mosquitoes and other insects.
* Clear away any puddles that may have formed around air conditioning units or faucets.
* Keep swimming pools and hot tubs chlorinated.
* Keep the lawn mowed and trim since mosquitoes can hide in tall grass.
* To keep mosquitoes off of you while outside, avoid going outdoors during dawn and dusk, use mosquito repellant (pure vanilla extract and catnip oil work extremely well, too), and wear long sleeves and pants for ultimate mosquito protection.
