To: All

Here’s how we are preparing: Hubby and I have just finished passing a conceal and carry class. I have also been canning meat items as I have found them on sale. i will be canning beans next. (pinto, etc.) I’m planning a larger garden this year (if I can keep the deer away; they ate my fall tomato plants) and we are working with our grown kids to help them get on a better financial footing.

Because any solution must be spiritual, we are praying daily that God will intervene and grant mercy to our country. We are claiming the promise that: “If MY PEOPLE, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.” We are trying to apply those principles in our lives and teach others about them through our Bible classes. We are remaining confident that God will protect His children in the midst of any crisis-—just as He has promised.

No political TV about O, although we listen to Rush. Several months ago, we cancelled our newspaper subscription and just get our news via net. We are praying with anticipation that God will give us conservative, godly leadership we can support. I also am thankful to God for websites such as FR where people of like mind can gather. I believe that God must have been preparing us all for “such a time as this.”

All;

i STILL think that FREEPERS in each locality need to connect up and be mutual supports to one another in ways that would function without the net.

Sound advice.. I definitely have been more intensely drawn to the Bible ever since the election happened...I cant even put it into words...I have always been a believer in Christ , but its just like something clicked back in Nov, like God saying “ok folks, time to get serious” and have been more or less studying at least an hour per day since and found a nice local church..

Also done with the MSM..No need to pollute my mind and depress myself with their liberal, Anti-American godless drivel...Newspaper subscriptions, CANCELLED...MSNBCS, all CNN networks, BET, MTV, channels-BLOCKED.. (Fox news is on the verge of finding my block list too, if they keep it up with the Obama crap...I mostly only like Hannity anyway, along with a few guests they have..)..Severely restrict my movie-going, Hollywood can take a flying leap.....Rush, Levin FR, and a few choice other sites are all I need to keep myself and family fully informed during this 4 yr fiasco...

Gonna be much more frugal as well... purchase practically everything used , preferably through private sellers in classifieds or Christian thrift.. no big ticket items..Deprive the Dems of as much sales tax revenue as possible...Its bad enough that they are gonna be jacking up the gas tax again.

Spend a lot more time hunting and fishing, even gardening to save some money, although I am pretty much clueless on that topic, lol, so add me to the gardening ping :)

Get back into my powerlifting and Boxing workouts, also read a lot..Sound mind, sound body, that type of thing..
