The Grasshopper was a sluggard and was caught unprepared

      My dear friends, people have relied on this world far to long, to the point that survival knowledge handed down from generation to generation has been left behind by most in favor of a system of script that can be traded for the things that used to take preparation, to things ready to go from a box, almost anything you desire.
     What will be the result of intentional ignorance that prevails today. If we are hit with a major natural catastrophe, how many will know or even have made preparation for disaster.  Do you know how to make drinking water safe enough to consume without fear of disease? Do you know how to forage, what plants are edible and which are poison.
Do you know how to use weapons like a .22 caliber rifle for hunting small game or protect your family? Or use a bow and arrows to hunt game silently, so as not to draw attention,
Do you own these weapons, if not how do you intend to feed your family and protect them.
     With the world markets failing everyday, and government's toppling all around. Do you think your staples are going to appear out of a magical place. Or are you storing things now, that can be quickly gathered in an emergency.                                            
     Do you have a place that your family can gather to see who is safe and who is missing
     Do you know how to can food, or dehydrate fruits and veggies and preserve them ? Our government offices are so slow, you need to be able to hold out  for a very long time.
     By now you realize this will be a major undertaking, when you see hundreds of people rush a department store at Christmas breaking doors off of their hinges to get at Michael Jordan retro-shoes, what do you think they will do when they are hungry, and hear that you have food.
     Study the behavior of the people and government when disaster struck New Orleans,   it was pathetic from the start. National Government drug it's feet, had no clue, wasted so much precious time. People drowned, people starved, people were left homeless and all personal belongings destroyed. What it would have cost to secure that city from taking a hit from nature like that would have been a drop in the bucket compared to what the disaster cost them.
     This is no laughing matter, The day is coming! Not maybe it is,  it is coming.
So will you prepare for that day or will you be a victim. Will you provide extra to share with unfortunate people, or extra to barter with for needs that slipped your mind. There are books available that can teach you how to get prepared and stay prepared. I suggest you go to a library if you have a very limited income like myself or go to a Barnes & Noble and look through a few books and decide which one would be the best purchase.
                    Here is wishing you all, the very best in Christ Jesus
