Re:

Hi!

 

 

This is your last chance to prevent unpleasant consequences and preserve your reputation.

 

Your operating system has been hacked.

All your personal data has been copied to my servers.

 

I have installed a Trojan virus in the operating systems of all the devices you use to access the Internet.

This software gives me access to all the controllers on your devices.

 

Thanks to encryption, no system will detect this virus. Every day its signatures are cleared.

 

I have already copied all your personal data to my own servers.

 

I have access to your emails, messengers, social networks, contact list.

 

When I was collecting data from your device, I found a lot of interesting information about you.

 

You really like to watch adult videos and have orgasms while watching them.

I have some videos that were recorded from your screen.

I have edited a video that clearly shows your face and the way you watch porn and masturbate.

Your family and friends will have no problem recognizing you in this video. This video will be able to completely destroy your reputation.

 

 

 

I can send out proof of your illegal activities to all your contacts, make it public to everyone on the internet.

 

I have a lot of your personal information. It's your browsing history, your messenger and social media correspondence, your phone calls, your personal photos and videos.

I can put all of your data in the public domain.

 

I'm sure that after that the police might be interested in you. And other security agencies in your country.

 

All it takes is one click of my mouse to make all the information you have on your device available to the public.

You understand the consequences.

 

It will be a real disaster.

Your life would be ruined.

 

I bet you want to prevent that, don't you?

It's very easy to do.

 

You need to transfer me 1300 USD (in bitcoin equivalent at the exchange rate at the time of transfer). After that, I will delete all information about you from my servers.

 

I will not bother you anymore.

My bitcoin wallet for payment: bc1qwyp265c725njtlrx22uaeqhl6gr42p9xgvangk

Don't know what Bitcoin is and how to use it? Use Google.

You have 2  days to pay.

 

After reading this email, the timer starts automatically.

 

I've already received notification that you opened this email.

 

No need to respond to me on this message, this email was created automatically and is untraceable.

There is no need to try to contact anyone for help. Bitcoin wallet is untraceable, so you will just waste your time.

 

The police and other security services won't help you either.

In each of these cases, I will post the entire video without delay.

All of your data is already copied to a cluster of my servers, so changing your passwords on email or social media won't help.

 

I hope you choose the right solution.

The Light of the World

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” - John 8:12

I love Christmas.  I love the music and the decorations and the food and the general sense of joy and hope that  surrounds everything and everyone.  It’s the lights that I think I love the most.  

All year long I see traffic lights and street lights and the headlights and tail lights of cars.  But when fall turns into winter, those lights magically look like Christmas to me.  And the last things I want to take down  when the season is ‘over’  are those lights.  

And the real beauty of those lights is that they never go out.  They might not be lighting The Plaza or my home or my tree, and the traffic lights might start looking like normal cars again, but they stay lit in the world… and in my heart.  

Because the birth and the life…. and the death… of the man who is the reason for those lights have changed the world - and my heart - forever.  And, I pray, that even when things appear dark,  I remember to follow the Light of the World.

Thank you, baby Jesus.

Being the Prayer

We do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself speaks to God for us, even begs God for us. The Spirit speaks to God with deep feelings that words cannot explain.          Romans 8:26

I’m reading Why Not Be a Mystic? and love it because the chapters are short and sweet and make me stop and think deeply about what has been said.  Sometimes I write comments and questions in the margins that I want to discuss with my small group, The Mystics.  Occasionally my soul does a happy dance about something that I read that just thrills me.

When this scripture was tied to the thought that prayers don’t need to be ‘laundry lists’ of names and events and needs and hopes and that the best prayers are little more than simply being present with God, in every breath, and allowing the Spirit to pray in me, I was rocked!  What a relief!

There are so many things that are in my heart regarding the people I love and the world we live in.  I worried I was leaving someone or something out.  What a blessing to know God hears my petitions with every beat of my heart, with every breath I take no matter where I am. We are a living prayer.
