Set your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). While that heats up, break any large pretzels or bagel chips into bite-size pieces. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and spread your pretzels, chips, nuts, and Chex across those. When the oven's ready, place the cookie sheets inside and bake for 15 minutes. Place your butter in a large, ungreased roasting pan and stick that into the oven with the dry ingredients. Watch over it and remove once the butter melts. Then add your Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, plus any other seasonings that you care to use. Stir to combine. Once the dry ingredients have baked for 15 minutes, lower the oven to 250 degrees F (121 Celsius). Transfer the dry goods from the cookie sheets to the roasting pan. Stir them into the wet mixture until they're evenly coated. Then, when the oven has reached its new temperature, put the roasting pan in. Check and stir every 15 minutes until they're done. Since you already baked the dry goods once, the second bake may take less time than the full hour that's usually needed for a one-time bake. The mix should brown like toast when it's ready.

Summary: Bake your dry ingredients. Prepare your wet ingredients. Combine wet and dry and then bake again.

Converting to Christianity is based on your belief that Jesus is God's only begotten Son, and that He does all manner of miracles including Salvation. Christianity starts with being saved, trusting Christ to save you, and then entails living a good and godly life that is pleasing to God. Both are important. This means that you believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again. Since he paid for your sins you can be forgiven, and because he rose again He has power to give you eternal life. Believing this message you respond, "Lord Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again, so now please save me, a sinner." That saves you and begins your Christian life. Continue to believe. A key passage describing salvation is Romans 10:9-10, "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart (core being) man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Such belief is called faith and leads to God freely giving you the gift of salvation by grace through faith not by work or great deeds.Romans 10:9-10" and be sure you are a Christian by God's grace through faith, believing: you might not have a local church, pastor or be able to get baptized, because maybe you are in a country that does not contain any churches or not many priests, pastors, (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Libya,...). Be sure that your relationship with Jesus is not based on formalities, such as baptizing but is based on your personal belief in Him, following Him (and His teachings). Yes, be baptized by another believer, if you can, but the most important baptism for a Christian is his spiritual baptism into Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:27). Christianity is about God's love, so start showing His love that you received freely, to others such as being willing to forgive everyone and anyone who has wronged you. Jesus said, "You have heard, 'Love your neighbor', but I say to you, 'Love your enemy, and do good to those who hate you and spitefully use you.' ". We may try to fail miserably -- but God's supply of grace is sufficient, in His boundless mercy, as the grace of God is the power of God unto salvation, not by work, lest any boast. How can anyone afford to reject such great salvation, so rich, and yet so free. Do good deeds because you believe in God and are a Christian. "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. " Titus 3:8; "That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:17. Jesus Christ has said, "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Revelation 22:12. Fulfill Jesus' commission (Matthew 10:7-8) by going out and preaching the Gospel and healing the sick. Always pray, remaining in a spirit of prayer in every circumstance, even if to say only, "Thank you Lord." Also, in all things, glorify God by how you live your life.

Summary: Be willing to accept the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart. "Be saved by believing the Christian gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Become Baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Receive Baptism and Holy Communion, rites that some churches call Ordinances, and which other churches call part of the Sacraments. Follow Jesus When you receive the Holy Spirit (officially become a Christian), do anything you can to strengthen your faith and belief in Jesus. Become committed to praising God, giving thanks for all things, acknowledging Him in all areas of life.

Dogs can be great family pets as well as great tools for protecting your property from intruders. Some dog breeds are better for property protection than others. With the proper training, quality guard dogs will bark, bite, intimidate, and chase intruders away. In general, the best dog breeds for protection include: Bullmastiffs Doberman Pinschers Rottweilers German Shepherds Akitas Do not simply purchase the first dog you find. Dogs need to match the personality of their owners and you need to make sure you purchase a dog that you can take care of. For example, guard dogs are very active and need to be exercised often. In addition, they can be aggressive towards others if not properly trained; therefore, it is important you shop around until you find the right dog for you. Additionally, while it is always nice to adopt a dog from a shelter, these dogs often need extra training due to possible emotional and physical problems that arose before you owned them; therefore, it might be a good idea to purchase a puppy from a reputable breeder if you are purchasing a dog for home protection.
Summary: Research good guard animals. Shop around.
