All that you are doing will contribute to your ability to survive our future, and you will be better able to adapt to the "new normal". And your priorities are in the right place. I agree that knowing the Lord and coming closer to him is the most important preparation we can do. I would also go a step further and say .... as goes the Christian, so goes the world!

The ...I've been working on learning new skills. The 1st one was learning to can. I had a wonderful garden this year so I did can a lot of fruit and veggies. I'm working on canning meat while we can still afford to buy it. <br />I've also been working on getting in better physical shape. It's a slow process when you are in your sixties, but I walk a little further each day.<br />The one thing I question about myself is can I take a life in self defense. When my kids were little I know without a doubt I would have done anything to protect them. Years ago while living in L.A. we had someone try to break in during the night. I was up out of bed before my husband ready to tear whoever it was apart. That mother bear instinct sure does kick in. I think the fury I felt that night even scared my husband. I hope that instinct to survive will kick in again.<br />When I'm out in public I practice being aware of my surroundings. I try to be alert instead of doing things in a fog. I know that I can't out run or out fight a young attacker, so I must be smarter.<br />The most important prep I do is to increase my knowledge of the Lord. Because I truly believe as goes the Christian so goes the nation.<br /><br />JM<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
