Check your furnace filter
Clear anything that’s in front of the vents.
Check your carbon monoxide alarm.
Change your ceiling fans to turn clockwise.
Keep portable heaters at least 3 feet away from furniture and drapes.
Never leave portable heaters unattended.
*Vehicle: Check your tires. Make sure they are properly inflated.
If your car battery is close to 3 years old, have it checked, even replaced.

-Former L.A. INK tattoo artist Kat Von D
World-renowned makeup and tattoo artist Kat Von D revealing more about her personal transformation away from the occult to freedom in Jesus Christ. The 41-year-old former star of the TLC series “L.A. Ink” shared a video to Instagram of getting baptized, publicly declaring she is putting her faith in Jesus. Kat’s journey included renouncing the occult and witchcraft last year by throwing out her personal library filled with books on witchcraft, magic and tarot card readings, saying that “those things just don’t align with who I am and who I want to be (in Christ).”
“And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. So, the Word of the Lord continued to increase…” Acts 19:18-20 ESV
