I gather you missed the thread where we were *lectured* that preparing for survival situations is “hoarding” and is “unbiblical”? ;)
I must admit that, as a lifelong Christian with friends from any number of denominations, I’d never heard of this before, but hey, as they say “down home”: “You read the Bible your way and I’ll read it mine.” :)
So I’ll just keep on doin’ what I’m doin’, which is making provision for me and mine and friends and neighbors and angels unaware, to the best of my ability.
Two things that the author touched on that ought to be reiterated: that *now* is the time for people to be giving some thought to “what if”; and that *knowing* that you’ve made at least some preparation for emergencies does indeed give people a sense of calm that allows for wiser decision-making in emergency situations. :)

Been through a lot of stuff. I know what I'm doing as far as my own house goes. Read the scriptures and am aware. I think you are right on the money. Thanks for your thoughts.
