You can do without this "special" delivery
This just landed in my inbox:
The message purports to be from DHL and sports a convincingly spoofed "dhl.com" e-mail address.
The attachment is called "DHL_Label_NR34791.zip," and that's the real tip-off.
Well, that and the fact that I'm not expecting anything to be delivered by anyone.
Even if I were, why would a simple shipping label be in a zip file?
It wouldn't. It would be a pdf, surely. Or I'd be instructed to log into dhl.com with my tracking number.
This attachment and others like it -- the numbers appear to be randomly generated (yes, I got 2 of them with different numbers) -- contains a trojan that will install malware on your Windows computer. But even if you have a Mac, you should not open unexpected attachments from unverifiable sources.

The courier company was not able to deliver your parcel by your address.
Cause: Error in shipping address.You may pickup the parcel at our post office personaly!...The shipping label is attached to this e-mail.Please print this label to get this package at our post office....

Shine on
Kris den Besten, author of SHINE, asked us at the November luncheon whether, when people watch us, they see a worker, or an instrument created by God to bring him glory. He also introduced us to the acronym SHINE:
Seminars based on den Besten's book SHINE will be held at Belhaven College in Maitland and Palm Beach Atlantic University in Orlando beginning Jan. 14. Facilitators will be Eddy Moratin of Lifework Leadership and Mark Goldstein, president of the Christian Chamber.
Both seminars will be held from 7:15-8:30 a.m. The seminars are free. Both the book and workbook will be available at the seminar.
To register and choose a location to attend, e-mail us or call Mark at (407) 484-3899.
For many of us, the workplace may be our primary mission field. SHINE shows how to move from making a living to making a difference.

You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
--Matt. 5:14-16 (NRSV)
