Top Story of the Month W hen w as the Last Time YOU backed up your data? There are a lot of people who do not insure their pc data by backing it up. This month I want to focus on methods you can use as well as programs and services you can use to acc omplish this simple yet lifesaving task. The first thing you need to do is figure out what da ta you actually want to back up. Most people the conte nts of My Documents, their outlook data, their address book, their favorites, computer settings, email attachments, and their financial data. Make sure you put ALL your data in the My Document s  folder first since this will make it easier to back up just the one folder rather th en searching yo ur entire hard drive for your files. If you want to keep your entire hard drive backed up once a month on a recordable CD, try Norton Ghost 2005 from Symantec. ( www.symantec.com ) it comes bundled with System works 2005 Premium Edition. This program will allow you to back up just your entire hard drive to an image file you can burn to several CDs. You will need about 10 for a typ ical 10 GB of data. More if you use a 30 or even 50 GB drive. DVD backups are here so now you can save money buy buying 5 DVD-RW disks rather then 50 CD-RWs.! For those who only want to keep your data intact, there are a couple a free solutions you can use if you use Windows XP. On your start menu under accessories/system tools there is a program called files and settings wizard. This will back up your profile and all the files under it to either a space on your hard drive or a floppy disk. Do not use this method for everyday backup s because if you hard drive crashes you will lose this data. These files require many floppies so unless you can back up the data to a

II. Spiritual Word of the Month

“ A Vase Full Of Good I ntentions”

Read: James 4:13-17

To him w ho know s to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. —James4:17

Bible In One Year: Leviticus 11-13

In a Peanuts cartoon by Charles Schulz, Marcie gives her schoolteacher someflowers. Not to be outdone, Peppermint Patty says to the teacher, "I thought aboutdoing the same thing, Ma'am, but I never got around to it. Could you use a vase fullof good intentions?"

We've all had intentions of doing something good but then failed to follow through.We may want to make a phone call to check up on a friend, or visit a sick neighbor,or write a note of encouragement to a loved one. But we don't take the time.

Some people know that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, and they plan totrust in Him someday. Yet they keep putting it off. They may have good intentions,but that won't bring salvation.

As Christians, we may say that we want to grow closer to the Lord, but somehow wedon't make the time to read the Word of God or to pray.

James has some strong words about our problem of not taking action: "To him whoknows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin" (4:17).

Is there something you've been putting off? Write that card or letter today. Visit thatsick friend. A vase full of good intentions never brightened anyone's day. —AnneCetas

"I do intend to do Your will"Is what we often tell the Lord,

But what will honor Him the mostAre deeds of love to back our word. —D. De Haan

Good intentions are no good until they are put into action.
