WAYS TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR HOME’S HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING ENERGY COSTS
Did you know that according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American household spends almost $2,000 a year on energy bills? Did you know heating and air conditioning operating costs can account for as much as half of that? The oil or gas burned to heat our home and the electricity used to keep our equipment running can be a huge source of greenhouse gas emissions.With a few simple steps, you can stay comfortable, save money and protect the environment.
1. KEEP HEAT OUT During the summer months, keep your blinds closed and window treatments over large windows. Blocking the sun’s rays will make your home easier to cool and keep your air conditioning system from running so often.
2. USE NATURE’S FREE ENERGY During winter months, pull back window treatments and open blinds to allow the sun to warm your home naturally. Close curtains on the shady side of the house.
3. LEAVE THE THERMOSTAT ALONE Continuously changing your thermostat settings wastes a lot of energy. Consider a programmable thermostat that will automatically adjust temps at preset times. When used properly, it can save you money. Change the temps so your system runs less when everyone is sleeping. 4. MAKE SURE YOUR HOUSE IS AIR TIGHT Seal air leaks at drafty doors, fireplaces and windows with caulk or weather stripping. Adding the proper amount of new insulation can pay for itself in reduced heating and cooling costs.
5. DON’T LET ENERGY ESCAPE Running your kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans too often will cause your heating or cooling system to work harder.
6. KEEP IT CLEAN A little bit of dirt can cause major problems. Get in the habit of changing your air filters every thirty days. Keep your outdoor unit clean and free of leaves and debris. 6

SIGNS YOUR CAR NEEDS SERVICE
1. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER DASHBOARD WARNINGS As ambiguous as a “check engine” light may be, your car’s on-board diagnostic system is essential to keeping the engine running efficiently. Flashing or blinking warning lights or check engine indicators should be addressed as soon as possible.
2. OIL SPOTS UNDER THE CAR Have you noticed dark brown oil spots on your garage floor or driveway? Not only are the stains unsightly, they indicate your vehicle is leaking precious motor oil. The problem could be as minor as an oil filter or drain plug not secured tightly or as major as compromised gasket somewhere in the engine. 3. SQUEALING OR SQUEAKING WHEN BRAKING Many vehicle manufacturers and brake components maker engineer their brakes to emit a high-pitch squeal or squeak when brake pads are near the end of their service life. Squealing or squeaking can also indicate that brake hardware has become too worn. Putting off simple brake repairs can quickly cause more costly damage.
4. CHIRPING OR SCREECHING FROM UNDER THE HOOD Drive belts, also known as serpentine belts, direct engine power to accessory systems like the power steering or AC. But these belts can become frayed, brittle or glazed as they wear, which can create a chirping or screeching sound, especially on start-up. Belt replacement is a simple repair that’s relatively cheap.
5. HUMMING, GROWLING OR ROARING WHEN DRIVING If you notice these noises, your tires may be worn or deformed, which mean it’s time to replace them (which should help improve fuel economy). Another cause, especially if you notice the sound only when turning or changing lanes, is a bad wheel bearing. If you suspect a bad bearing, get the issue checked out immediately, as a seized or damaged bearing could leave you stranded.

SHE P HERD ’ S G UIDE S P O TLI G HT
MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETY BRINGS HISTORY ALIVE Sponsored by Maryland Bible Society
A
s the State of Maryland celebrated the 200th anniversary of the writing of the Star Spangled Banner, the Maryland Bible Society is teaching history in a unique way. MBS was formed in 1810, and over the past 200 years has accumulated a fascinating collection of Bibles, books, and historical objects that tell the social history of the area. University and accessible to scholars, is The collection, now housed at Stevenson at churches throughout the region. The made available by MBS through “Bible Sundays” presentation combines a proclamation of the Word of God with bringing history to life through the remarkable objects offered for display and description — and has received an enthusiastic reception. The 200th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner makes a particularly appropriate occasion to renew interest in history told through Bibles, as James McHenry (for whom Fort McHenry is named) was a prominent member of the Maryland Bible Society in the 19th Century. As MBS begins its third century, it has turned its emphasis from printing and distributing Bibles to “encouraging and helping people read, understand and live out the truths and principles God has given us through His Holy Scriptures”, as explained by Executive Director David Moyer. MBS’ goal is to “ignite fresh passion for God’s Word.” That passion is fully on display in the Bible Sundays, which bring to life the impact of the Scriptures on history, and on today. (To schedule a ‘Bible Sunday’ at your church, please call our office at 410-685-4040 or visit our website at mdbible.org)

TIPS FOR HIRING A DRIVEWAY COMPANY
1. GET ADDRESSES FOR DRIVEWAYS THE CONTRACTOR PROVIDES AS REFERENCES Any good company will give you addresses for driveways they’ve worked on in your area. Don’t just call them, just drive by and look.
2. JUST SAY NO TO DOOR KNOCKERS Never let someone knock on your door and say they have extra asphalt or they are in the area sealcoating, because that is the easiest way to get scammed. A good asphalt company never has extra asphalt.
3. IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS Get a receipt stating the batch and mix you purchased.
4. VERIFY CREDENTIALS Your contractor should be licensed, bonded, insured and hold workers’ compensation
5. MORE MAN POWER IS BETTER Asphalt cools quickly after it’s put down so contractors must act fast. The more hands on the job the better, or the driveway won’t last as long. Make sure they are putting it down 3 inches– If you have to take a ruler and put it in the ground, do it. 49

QUESTIONS TO ASK
BEFORE YOU HIRE AN ELECTRICIAN
Before hiring an electrician, know their qualifications by asking the right questions:
1. ARE YOU LICENSED, BONDED AND INSURED? These components help you in case something goes wrong.
2.WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE DO THEY HAVE? The longer they’ve been on the job, and the more continuing education they’ve received, the more likely they are to know the ins and outs of different systems.
3. WHO’S DOING THE WORK? Will it be the owner, or a licensed journeyman electrician? If apprentices are on the job, who will be overseeing them? Additionally, if the electrician uses subcontractors, they may not be covered by the contractor’s licensing and insurance, so make sure everyone is protected.
4. ARE THEY UP TO DATE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICIAL CODE? The NEC sets the standard in most states, and it’s updated every three years. A good electrician will be up to date on the most recent edition.
5. DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY? Ask whether the parts or labor both are under warranty and how long that warranty is effective.

The Honor of God and Decisions of Faith This article was originally published in CPN OnPoint and is republished by permission. More information is available at www.cpnonpoint.com. © 2014 Christian Professional Network
T
he course of our lives, and the success of our businesses, is largely determined by the decisions that we make; and the decisions that we make are in turn governed by the priorities that we establish. As Christians, we should set as a high priority the Glory and Honor of the Lord. Exodus 14 records the famous account of crossing the Red Sea. What gets most of
the attention is the dramatic parting of the waters and the amazing escape of Israel from Egypt. What is most instructive is the dialogue that went on there between the Lord and Moses, which gives us the Lord’s take on the whole situation: “Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” *** But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.” (14: 4, 16, 17) The people were focused on their immediate position; but the Lord was focused on His own Honor. As Christians, we need to have the same mindset, to center on the Honor of God, and not just on our own situation. This is where many Christians lose their focus, and so lose the direction that the Lord desires in their lives, and why some even lose their faith in difficult times.

As a lawyer, many people come to my office with business and personal problems, and what they want is for me to make the problem go away. Get me out of this. Fix this mess. What is the fastest, cheapest, most expedient way out of this present problem? That is often the way we pray: we ask God to make the problems go away.But that is not how the Lord surveys the situation. Rather, the verses in Exodus 14 tell us that the Lord is acting so that He will be glorified on the earth. Israel’s deliverance was a by-product of His glory. This is from Psalm 106: Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea. Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, That He might make His mighty power known.

SHEPHE R D ’ S G U IDE SP O T L IGHT continued from page 58, “The Honor of God and Decisions of Faith” by CPN On Point
Some Christians today do not understand His wonders – they do not understand that God acts for the sake of His holy name. In Ezekiel chapter 36, the Spirit of God looks far into the future, to the gathering of Israel out of the world — how the Lord will cleanse them, and put a new heart in them, and make a new covenant with them — and says this (v. 22, 23): “Thus says the Lord God: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake … And I will sanctify My great name … and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, says the Lord God, when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.” In John 9, Jesus saw a man born blind. The disciples asked who sinned, this man or his parents? The disciples asked: what was the cause, what was the problem? Jesus said that this blindness was so that the works of God should be revealed in him and that God would be glorified in his life. So the operative question in decision making should not be: what is the fastest, cheapest way out of this problem? Your question should be: what action would most glorify God in this situation? What would most honor Jesus Christ? What would be the greatest testimony to the Lord? When you ask the right question, the right answer is usually obvious, as it was at the Red Sea: And the Lord said to Moses, Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward…. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. (Exodus 14: 15, 16) Christians should be patient and wait on the Lord, and not to have the hysteria of action. But we should not have the hysteria of inaction or paralysis either. The Lord said to Moses: Tell the people to move forward. Some years ago, the phrase WWJD – what would Jesus do? – became all the rage, and appeared on plaques, bracelets, and T-shirts. The problem is that what Jesus would do, I usually can’t do. If there was someone sick, Jesus would heal him. If the people were hungry, Jesus would feed them with five loaves. If somebody died young, Jesus would raise him to life. I can’t do that. I suggest that rather our operative question should be WWFD: what would faith do? Or in other words, what is the next logical step of faith? Faith often takes the hard way – the way through the Sea – but at the end is the Honor of God, and no other result can compare.

REASONS WHY A
CHRISTIAN SHOULD MAKE A WILL
Sponsored by Thomas Schetelich and the Law Firm of Ferguson, Schetelich & Ballew, P.A.
A Will is an important legal document that governs your affairs and distributes your estate after death. It can also be a spiritual testimony in real and practical ways, including:
1. YOUR WILL GIVES INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING YOUR FUNERAL AND BURIAL, and can assure that a Christian testimony is maintained in these arrangements.
2. A WILL PROTECTS YOUR FAMILY and enables you to set up trusts to provide ongoing protection for children or those who are otherwise unable to manage finances. 3. A WILL ENABLES YOU TO DO TAX PLANNING that can substantially reduce death taxes and preserve more of your estate for your family. 4. YOUR WILL ENABLES YOU TO PICK THE PERSON who will be
your Personal Representative, who will settle your estate.
5. YOUR WILL IS THE ONLY DOCUMENT by which you can select a guardian for your minor children.
6. YOUR WILL CAN PROVIDE FOR SPECIFIED GIFTS to particular family members or friends, who will most appreciate them.
7. YOUR WILL CAN INCLUDE GIFTS OF CASH OR PROPERTY TO YOUR CHURCH and other Christian organizations, to support
ministries of your choice.
A will allows you to control each of these important aspects of your last wishes. If you don’t have a will, the Law will make these choices for you. 67

In a Christian community, everything depends upon whether each individual is an indispensable link in a chain. Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.

4
REASONS TO HIRE
A PROFESSIONAL
PEST CONTROL COMPANY
1. YOUR HEALTH Beyond being creepy, pests can carry harmful diseases and hazardous bacteria that can expose your family members to illness. For instance, cockroaches carry E coli and salmonella on their bodies and can also cause or intensify health problems related to allergies and asthma. Tick bites can cause Lyme disease, which is a dangerous condition often associated with symptoms such as rashes, severe fatigue and extreme illness. Ants can contaminate your food, and bees or wasps can cause injuries and trigger dangerous allergic reactions.
2.IDENTIFY & ELIMINATE PESTS Most pest control companies can eliminate many different types of pests, including spiders, rodents and all sorts of insects — ants, bees, cockroaches, fleas, termites and wasps. Different types of baits and chemicals are required to extract and eliminate different types of pests. A licensed pest control technician will know the safe and proper dosages of these chemicals to apply and when and where to apply them.
3. FINDING THE SOURCE Professionals can maximize the effect of a pest control treatment by also locating the source of the infestation.If you eliminate the pests but don’t find the source attracting them to your home, more infestations are likely. Pest control companies can determine the cause of your problem, find the specific source and eliminate it to prevent future infestations.Sources might include egg batches, garbage, nests, plants, soil, pet food or particular areas in your walls.
4. AVOIDING DAMAGE The cost to hire a pest control company may even save you money over time. Many pests and rodents can damage your home — destroying carpets, clothes, foundations, floors, furniture, rugs or walls. This can eventually force you to repair the damage or pay to have it fixed. 82

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR PLUMBER
1. REFERENCES An experienced plumbing company should be able to give you the names of recent customers in your part of town. 2. ESTIMATES Get at least three written estimates from three different plumbers. Documentation is often the best ammunition should things go wrong.
3. LICENSED, BONDED & INSURED Nearly every state in the U.S. requires plumbers to be licensed through a state professional licensing agency. Requirements vary on the need for professional licensing bonds, but all plumbers should have insurance to cover accidents that may happen while on your property.
4. PAYMENT SCHEDULE On a big job, especially a planned remodeling, the service provider may want the customer to pay 10 to 15 percent of the cost up front and 50 percent paid before the job is completed — especially if expensive materials need to be purchased for the project. Make sure you know what is expected. If you’re suspicious, contact your state’s professional licensing board or contracting board to ask about local standards. Many states set limits on what is allowed to be paid upfront.
5. WHERE THE COMPANY IS LOCATED Be cautious of contractors who give you a post office box with no street address or use only an answering service. Never hire someone who comes unsolicited to your door and can’t provide you proof of qualifications — especially if he or she pressures you to hire fast and pay cash up front.

WARNING SIGNS YOU NEED A NEW ROOF
1. ROOF AGE How old is your existing asphalt shingle roof? Most experts agree that a typical roof will last between 20 and 25 years. It also depends on whether the old roof was removed and you only have one layer of shingles, and if it is properly ventilated. If the roof was installed over another layer or several layers and it is older than 20 years, chances are you need a new roof.
2. SHINGLES CURLING & BUCKLING Shingles that are curled or buckling are another sign that you may need a new roof. Look at the slopes of your home that get direct sunlight and if you notice the shingles are curling and losing granules, it could mean the shingles are past their life expectancy. 3. ROOFING VALLEYS If your roof shingles are falling apart or missing in this area, it’s a definite sign you need a new roof. Valleys are one of the most important areas of your roof. Snow and rain flow through valleys and into gutters. If the valley is compromised, you could be susceptible to roof leaks.
4. MISSING SHINGLES These are another sign your roof could be failing. Check to see if all of the “tabs” are intact. 5. CHIMNEY FLASHING This is another area to be concerned about. If your flashing consists of roof cement or tar, it may need to be replaced with a long term, water-tight fitting, which would be a metal flashing system.
6. SHINGLE GRANULATES IN GUTTER Look in your gutters to see if they are loaded up with shingle granules. Roofs tend to lose more granules toward the end of their life cycle. 7. DAYLIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF BOARDS Check your attic to see if there is any daylight coming through the roof boards. Also check for moisture in the insulation. 101

STEPS TO ENHANCE YOUR PETS QUALITY OF LIFE
1. EXERCISE Staying active is crucial to staying healthy. Taking your dog for a walk every day is good for you and your pet. The length of time and the intensity will be determined by your dog’s stamina and fitness level. For your cat: Buy a few interactive cat toys (including wand toys, such as Da Bird) and exercise your cat at least 10 minutes a day.
2. HEALTH DIET If your pets are doing well on their current food, there is no reason to change just because they have turned a certain age. Your veterinarian can offer further advice. And of course, clean fresh water should be available at all times in more than one place.
3. KEEP TEETH AND GUMS HEALTHY A healthy mouth does not smell. Gums should not be red or bleeding. Brushing a few times a week can help keep your pet’s mouth healthy. Use pet enzyme toothpaste and a toothbrush made for animals. For more instruction, check with your veterinarian.
4. REGULAR VETINARY CARE Immune systems can weaken with age, making an older pet more susceptible to disease and infection. Vaccinations should be kept current and a regular physical check by the vet can help prevent illness.
5. DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY? An older cat or dog may become more easily agitated and act out with aggressive behavior that is uncommon for them. There is a type of senility that pets can develop which can cause this change in behavior. Any changes in the home environment, especially if there will be new pets, pet sitters or other visitors coming into your home, should be done gradually. 116
