”I’d rather head for Heaven than eat bugs and live in a cave or the shell of our former home.”

I totally agree with you, Diana. And thinking about CottonBall’s original question of “What do you think is the most crucial survival topic to start with?”, I would say number 1 should be to make sure I am right with God. By that I mean a firm foundation in the importance of a strong personal relationship with Jesus, knowing that He paid the price once and for all for my sins, assuring me of an eternity in Heaven, my life belongs to Him, and what ever time I have left on this earth is His to direct.

I’m trying to imbed as much of His Word (scripture) in my mind and heart in case my Bible is lost or taken away. I’m trying to learn to live in total trust and faith that If and when things get hard, He WILL provide.

That said, I still understand the necessity to prep, and pray that He will guide me with that and keep me mindful to remember that having enough for my family to survive is good, but having enough to share with others around us is also important.

So I guess what I am trying to say is #1 in the prep plan is a firm foundation in attitude and faith to guide the way for all the rest. Because when the SHTF for real it may not be possible to protect all the amassed stored food, planted gardens, generators, ammunition/guns ……

I could not agree with you more.

Preach it!

Because this life ends for everyone. Whatever comes after is FOREVER!
