Hmmm... being in SoCal, I really doubt out running them will be an option. More precisely, being in southern orange county is even worse. It would take 2 hours to get north of LA, or 2 hours to get to the dessert going east. South would be out of the question. I fear being stuck on the road when the zombies look for easy pickings. Prepping the best I can and praying.
As to God being in charge, that I have no doubt about. I have just have this rising sense of dread that is not going away. Yes, the idiots have voted their greed, and the country will suffer the results of covetousness. The coming dark saddens me because I have a teenage daughter. Her generation will pay a heavy price due to no fault of their own. I pray every night that God will prepare our hearts to stay fixed on Him, in this coming deluge.
