If you spend a lot of time on the internet, you’re not just shopping or being entertained, or following the news or participating in an online community. You’re probably also dealing with accounts and information that eventually can become part of your digital “estate.” And if this estate isn’t properly looked after, it can lead to confusion and conflict among your survivors, as well as an opportunity for hackers to try to get at whatever resources they can touch. If you haven’t stopped to think about it, you might be surprised at the number of assets that could become part of your digital estate. You may have financial accounts (banking, brokerage and billpaying); virtual property accounts (air miles, “points” for hotel bookings); business accounts (eBay, Amazon, Etsy); e-mail accounts (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo); social networking accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram); online storage accounts (Google Drive, iCloud, Drobox); and application accounts (Netflix, Kindle, Apple). Given all these areas, how can you protect and preserve your digital estate? Here are a few suggestions: • Create a detailed inventory of digital assets. Following the categories listed above, draw up a list of all your digital assets. • Document your wishes for how you want your digital assets managed.

New Life of Currituck Money, Marriage, and Mansion. thought it might be fun and challenging to do a three-part I series on thankfulness leading up to thanksgiving this year. So, last month I wrote about being thankful with what we have financially, this month is on marriage. It is not hard to find a conversation these days about the trend of marriages breaking apart, living together without being married etc. If you read this article and call me old fashioned that is okay with me. For 30 years now, I have Pastored and counseled many marriages and one thing is still true. Selfishness brings separation and sacrifice brings satisfaction. Whether we want to believe it or not we were created to love and to love unconditionally. Philippians 2:3-5 says “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus” When I choose to look at and act in thankfulness towards my wife there is no grass that looks greener on the other side of the fence. The grass is greener at home. I can already here some of your responses, “You don’t know my spouse”. Your right I don’t, but I have a question for you, how stubborn, arrogant and petty can you be? Please let me say that I never advocate mental, physical, verbal or emotional abuse. So, If I am willing to learn how to love unconditionally most of the time my spouse is willing too. It was about ten years ago that a movie come out called “Fire Proof” from that movie there was a book made called “The Love Dare”. The love dare is a 40-day challenge to do acts of unconditional Arts on the Perquimans by Pastor Dan Bergey The Perquimans Arts League is sponsoring the eighth annual juried Arts and Crafts Show Saturday, October 6, 2018, from 10 AM – 4 PM. The show is held at the Perquimans County Recreation Center, 310 Granby St., off Harvey Point Road, Hertford. Admission is $3.00. Along with unique items produced by talented artists from throughout NE North Carolina and Virginia, there will be the always popular bake sale, door prizes throughout the day, food and drink available for purchase, and a 50/50 raffle, which garnered nearly $1,000.00 for last year’s lucky winner. Proceeds from the raffle will support the building fund for the new PAL gallery in downtown Hertford. love for your spouse. Doing something like this can help your marriage no doubt yet you can start today. Choose each day to be thankful for your spouse and communicate it to them without any expectation for anything in return. Life brings enough challenges on its own, sickness, disease, and a host of other ailments cause stress in many ways. Unconditional love is a strong foundation that will give you and I the opportunity to serve one another in a way that says you are important to me. I encourage you today to begin being thankful for your spouse and your family. I know you can do it. Next month we will talk about our mansions.
