Guacamole

Serves 4 to 6 Prep Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes

  • 3 large avocados, halved and pitted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 lime, plus more to taste
  • Heaping 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 scallions, white and light green parts only, very thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, from 1 clove (optional)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (about 2 1/2 tablespoons; see note)
  • 1 small tomato, seeded and diced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro

Hold an avocado half in the palm of your hand and, using a butter knife, cut a grid into the flesh. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Repeat with the remaining avocado halves. Add the lime juice, salt, cumin, scallions, garlic (if using), and jalapeño. Using a fork, mash the mixture until blended but still very chunky. Add the tomatoes and cilantro and fold until combined, being careful not to overmix (you want the guacamole to be chunky). Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lime, or jalapeño, if desired. Transfer to a bowl and serve with tortilla chips. If not serving immediately, place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate until ready to serve (preferably no longer than a few hours; bring to room temperature before serving).

Cling to God’s Promises

What do you think about?

The thoughts that fill your mind are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview.

If you choose to dwell on God’s promises, you start to recognize God’s blessings during uncertain times. Trusting that God will redeem your present pain equips you to walk forward in faith and keep on fighting.

Isaiah 12:2 reminds us that we belong to a God who is faithful to keep His promises. This God rescues us and fights for us. So when we belong to God, we have nothing to fear—all we need to do is cling to Him and wait on Him to act.

So as you walk forward today, reflect on some of God’s promises, and let them transform the way you think:

God will sustain you. (Psalm 55:22)

God’s peace will guard your heart. (Philippians 4:7)

God delights over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)

God will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. (Psalm 32:8)

God is your refuge and strength, your help in times of need. (Psalm 46:1)

In all things, you are more than a conqueror because God loves you. (Romans 8:37)

God will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

God’s perfect love casts out all your fear. (1 John 4:18)

Nothing can separate you from God’s love. (Romans 8:38-39)

God’s not done with you. (Philippians 1:6)

Allow these truths to fill your mind today!

A Lighter, Brighter Nacho

Shrimp Nachos

Active time: 25 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Serves 6

Shrimp:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound medium (21/25) shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1 large ripe, but not mushy, avocado, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 10 to 12 ounces salted tortilla chips
  • 4 cups (packed) coarsely grated sharp cheddar and/or Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed and seeded, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped, about 3/4 cup
  • 1 large vine-ripened tomato, cored and seeded, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin and red pepper flakes and stir until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Arrange the shrimp in one layer in the skillet and cook until pink on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. (They may be slightly underdone at this point, but they will continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Combine the avocado, lime juice, and cumin in a small bowl. Season with salt and black pepper and stir gently to coat. Set aside.

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Spread half of the tortilla chips in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, half of the white scallions, half of the jalapenos, and half of the red onion over the chips.

Spread the remaining chips over the top. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups more cheese over the chips. Scatter the remaining white scallions, jalapenos, and red onion over the top.

Transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese melts and the nachos are hot, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn on the broiler.

Arrange the shrimp over the nachos. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheese over the shrimp. Transfer to the oven and broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes, rotating the pan once.

ADT hacked. Again

The company paid to protect your home got burglarized. For the third time.
If you’ve ever given a home security company your address, your phone number and your daily routine, pay attention. That’s exactly what got exposed.
ADT confirmed hackers broke into their systems on April 20 and walked off with customer data. A group called ShinyHunters claims they grabbed more than 10 million records. ADT calls the damage “limited.” But Have I Been Pwned, an independent breach-tracking site that security researchers trust, counted 5.5 million people affected. That’s a lot of limited.
😳 What got taken and how
We’re talking names, phone numbers, home addresses. In some cases, dates of birth and the last four digits of Social Security numbers. ADT says no payment info was touched and your actual alarm system wasn’t compromised.
They didn’t hack their way in. They talked their way in. Someone called an ADT employee, pretended to be tech support and walked right through the front door. One phone call. That’s all it took to access data belonging to millions of customers.
And with just your name and address, scammers can target your home with frightening accuracy. Fake service calls. Highly convincing texts that reference your real street address. Voicemails that sound like your security company. 
You’ve been warned about generic phishing. This is personal.
🔓 It’s not only ADT
This is ADT’s third confirmed breach in under two years. August 2024. October 2024. Now April 2026. That tells you something important. This isn’t bad luck. 
The entire home security industry is a target. Your account holds your name, your address, your schedule and your contact details. That’s everything a criminal needs.
Now about those last four digits of your Social Security number. Don’t fall for the “it’s just the last four” trap. In many states, the first five digits of your SSN are determined by your birth year and where you were born. 
If a hacker already has your date of birth and your hometown (both sitting right there on your Facebook profile), those last four digits are the final piece of the puzzle. They don’t have part of your SSN. They have all of it.
If you have an account with ADT, Ring, SimpliSafe, Vivint, Brinks or any home security service, stop reading for 60 seconds and go change your password. Make it unique. Not your dog’s name. Not your street number. I’ll tell you how to protect yourself below.
🔑 Lock it down
Change your home security account password right now. Every service, not only ADT.
Change your physical keypad master code, too. If you’ve been using the same four-digit code since you moved in, change it today. And make sure it’s not the last four digits of your phone number. Which the hackers have.
Turn on two-factor authentication under Settings > Security > Two-Step Verification.
Watch for phishing. Scammers have your real details. If something feels urgent and scary, slow down. That panic is their product.
Freeze your credit if your Social Security number was involved. It’s free, and it stops anyone from opening new accounts in your name.

Make it Better

Did you know we can make life’s challenges better or worse by the way we talk about them? In fact, our words can affect our moods, out attitudes, our decisions and even our relationships.

Are you pessimistic, judgmental, and simply no fun to be around? Are you cursing your life and relationships through the negative things you have said, and you don’t even know it?

Look at Proverbs 18:20-21: “A man’s self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth: and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it.”

When we confess God’s Word, it stirs our faith–it helps release God’s will into our live and makes a way for things to get better. However, when we speak negatively, we open the door for Satan to bring bad things into our lives and our relationships. When we get a revelation of that truth, you will begin to see how important it is to choose your words carefully.

This is the day that the Lord has made: let you rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
