FULL SPECTRUM WARRIOR

Last email you were encouraged to assess your own home for vulnerabilities and advantages from a home protection/defense standpoint. While we are not using your home, I hope you are able to apply the same concepts to today's scenario.

Scenario: It's 2:30 AM. You and your spouse are asleep in the master suite when you're awakened by a noise coming from the entry area. Your two children (ages 8 and 10) are asleep in Bedrooms 2 and 3. You suspect an intruder has entered your home through the front door.

• Suspected intruder: Entry area

Questions:

1. What is your immediate action plan?

Perspective and mindset can make all the difference. Identifying and understanding our battles and challenges both physically and spiritually is very important.

We can't fight something we don't know is attacking us and when we do take on the challenge we need to do it with the right mentality.
