I love Glenn Beck and his thoughts on our economy. He scares me in a good, get my crap together, way. He motivates me to get my house in order to be prepared for what's coming in our economy.
It’s funny how a lot of us kind of knew the economic craziness was coming years ago. Haven’t our church leaders been telling us to get our houses in order for years?
Funny/Interesting story: Mela & I sold our house in Avondale and bought a bigger but still modest house in the forsaken land of Buckeye about three years ago. In our new ward we were put in as the ward cannery specialists. It was a calling I really didn’t have any interest in and I knew it was something we were bad at. At that time our year’s supply consisted of a can of El Pato sauce. We would be totally screwed if something bad happened.
Well, I can see how the Lord knew what we needed to do in our family. We are now almost set with food, water and ammo. Now if I can just figure out how I can satisfy my diet coke need during the hard times...
I don’t know what’s in store for the world, America or my family. I do know we are doing our best to prepare.
On another note: Mela and I have been reading a series of books called The Great & Terrible by Chris Stewart. It's a series of books following a family from their pre-mortal life and the war in heaven to our days. It is a very good read.
The author gives the reader an interesting perspective on good and evil. We are all eternal children of Our Father in Heaven. Our relationships to each other and our personalities carried with us into this life. The Lord has plans for us in this life and missions for us to accomplish.
The opposite is true also. Satan and his angles know us. Some of Satan's followers could have been our friends who knew us well before this life. We fought against Satan's plan. In this life Satan is focused on corrupting and destroying us because he hates us. Hate and how to corrupt is all Satan knows.
I'm on book five and let me tell you I'm glad we have food and water stored up at our house.

me too!
Quinn just heard about these and barrowed the 1st book from my sister-in-law. He has loved it so far. I guess I will have to start it after him. So funny that today I was talking today at work about the world and how afraid I am for what is coming. Then I get on here and you have this. Also a friend of mine was talking about the way things are too. Scary that we are all on the same wave length.
i have three cans of tuna and 3 gallons of water. I'm in trouble.
