Web browser ‘Tabnabbing”… It’s what the new security exploit is called when someone wants to trick you into thinking you’re logging into your email or facebook account when you have multiple browser tab’s open. With the advancement of new browsers that have “tabs” (which allow you to have many websites open on one browser window), come new ideas, not all of them good.

But basically, Tabnabbing is when your browsing the web and you come across an article or site that looks interesting and you right click on it to open it in a new tab. After the new tab opens, you switch back to finish the original article before moving onto the next. Once back on the original articles tab, the one that you just open changes to the look of the screen to your email or facebook login page, tricking you into thinking you’re logging into your email or facebook. You then enter in your username and password and the site redirects you to the real page you’d normally log into, all the while collecting your email and password. read the rest of this post »
Many people don’t realize their emotions follow their thinking. Emotion doesn’t cause thinking. It follows thinking. So if you are blah and down and someone walks up to you and gets you to thinking about something good, suddenly your emotions come up. The same is true in the opposite way. If I am feeling good, and someone gives me something negative to think about and I begin to give my thoughts to it, my emotions are down. Our emotions will always follow our thinking. Prov. 23:7 says, “For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” When we think good thoughts, our emotions are up and energy or power is apart of our life. But when we think negatively, and the negative thoughts dominate our life, our emotions are down and we feel tired, depressed or discouraged. When God said, his thoughts and ways were not ours, he wasn’t saying we couldn’t have his thoughts or ways. In fact he gave us his thought and his ways through his word. We can have power and energy in our lives by having the thoughts that are higher; God’s thoughts. If our thoughts are negative today, let’s be quick to change so we can find the power we need to succeed. Changing the thinking will change the emotion that follows.
In 2 Tim. 1:6, Paul said to Timothy, “Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands”. Why would Paul have to remind Timothy to stir it up? Could it be that it can get lost under all the fears, the worries, the anxieties, the problems, the negative circumstances and the negative people of life. And if you’re not careful, that gift of God, that power and presence from God, can get buried under several pages of bad news reports, or problems at the office and home, or fights with a spouse or friend. And pretty soon everything God has put in you is buried. Paul says, “Stir up the gift of God that is within you!” If when you look at your life you feel you only see the yogurt, then just stir it up and you’ll find “the fruit” (Holy Spirit). Let’s fan into flames the gift that’s in us.
Aryn and I are in Chicago O’Hare again this morning and we were on a smile:) mission. As we sat enjoying our Starbucks…me a skinny Caramel Machiatto and Aryn a hot chocolate and muffin, we once again noticed that no matter how hard we tried, people would not smile. It was as if when smiled to, they were staring into the face of aliens from Mars (or Venus if you please)! We decided to make a sign on the back of our Starbucks bag. It simply read per Aryn’s dictation, “Keep on Smiling!” She sat smiling and holding the sign. We started counting the smiles and even counted a half smile. When our 9 1/2 smiler came across our path, we noticed that she was intently paying attention to the fact that we counted her. She kept going and about two minutes came back in our direction. She came over to us and told us that we had made her day. She said she wanted us to know that this little action made a significant impact on her day and that little things matter BIG. She asked if she could take Aryn’s picture because she wanted to share it with her friends too and brighten their day! Yes! One person’s day made, Mission Accomplished!!!
P.S. Of the thousands that walked by…only 30 and a half smiles!:)
