When someone breaks into your home there is a feeling of violation that occurs.  Having your home entered, and the perpetrator rummaging through your possessions before depriving you of them is deeply disturbing and intrusive.  When I was in high school my family’s home was invaded, and our stereo system was removed (with a library CD inside it no less!)  My mother in particular was highly impacted by the emotional fall-out of this event, and none of us were impressed.

Now that I’m a Christian I realize that our earthly belongings are not are true treasure, and that we can trust the Lord to work all things together for our good.  Still, God does call us to be good stewards of the gifts he gives us, and taking non-violent steps to prevent theft – such as a wireless security system – may be called for in certain situations.

Protect America offers systems ranging from the monitoring of three to twenty entry points in your home.  Wow, I don’t think we HAVE twenty entry points here!  A better choice for a small home like ours would be the Copper package for three entry points.  It is free to install and includes:

• Talking Control Panel
• 1 Motion Detector
• Monitoring of Three Entry Points
• Internal Siren and Door Chime
• Battery Backup
• One Button Arming
• Three Window Decals
• And One Yard Sign

As I mentioned, that’s all installed for free, the monthly monitoring cost is $29.95, and if you call 877-470-2751 when you sign up, you’ll also receive two free keychain remotes with your order.  Warranty is also provided on the equipment while you are under contract for the monitoring services.

Those who live in high-risk areas may feel more at ease with a detection system backing them up – just don’t forget to pray!
