My intellect tells me it's foolish to fear natural phenomenon no matter how rare it might be, but the truth is there is a nagging tugging at me and the still waters are turbulent and muddy. What truly troubles me is I realized that this feeling started almost 7 years ago, 7 years a Biblical cycle.

It troubled me so much that I was drawn back to God and his Church praise him! Urged on by this 'itch I can not scratch' I started preparing in a way and with an urgency I had never had before. Also something else was different this time the urge came on me to spread the word as much as I could to bring to people minds their need to be self sufficient.

I can also tell you that before then my wife had never been a active and pro prepper, but when I started gearing up this time she had not only no doubts, but started helping. Now what or if something is coming I can say when or what.

Is it a Godly event?? I don't know and if so the only prepping you can do is stocking up on your faith. I have often said that in the history of the world many events both man made and natural have cause such misery that people have cried out to God to bring his judgment so that what they were undergoing would end.

I do believe that people do have a super natural sense of danger that can not be easily explain, people refrain from boarding planes that crash, dreams of warning, odd feelings to travel a different route or day and so forth and why not were we not made in the image of God? That being the case isn't it logical that something even the smallest of a hint of the power of the Lord All Might reside in us his greatest works?

The thief doesn't not steal every night, neither does fire destroy after each sunset nor the enemy wage war, yet the watchman stays alert and vigilante through the dark hours, leaving his post to rest only when his people awake and alert. So my fellow watchmen stay alert and vigilante. Fear not every murmur or rumor, but do not dismiss them out of hand, but give each the study and the consideration it is due in remembrance of the responsibilities and the punishment accorded the watchman should he fail in his duties.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone's life, that person's life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.'
Ezekiel 33:6

You’re just getting in tune with God.

Number of volcanoes erupting right now greater than 20th century YEARLY average

“Global food production is just barely keeping up with global food demand,” Snyder points out. “In fact, in some years the world actually eats more food than it produces. Global food reserves are at perilously low levels, and so a (volcanic) “year without summer” would be absolutely cataclysmic.”

Jesus told us that in the End Times there would be mockers and scoffers and it appears that they are showing up in this thread. Keep the faith brother and remain strong. Maranatha.

If you truly think things will crash, you don’t stock up on cash. You stock up on water, gas, food, medicine.

Thank you for the ping!

In addition to what this article covers, I find the release of the undercover videos by David Daleiden and his organization...

to be a sign for the End Times. That is to say, Christ is giving us all a [literal] showing of abortion [through David’s work], and it’s up to us to make up our minds [those of us who haven’t already done so] as to the heinous act of [legal!] abortion in this nation, so that we can all get right with God on this issue. These tapes are also coming at a time our politicians are gearing up for election, and who is it that is in the lead, but a man who isn’t even pro-life for babies of rape/incest.

Now if you look online, you’ll find passionate thoughts from Huckabee (see link below), Santorum, Jindal, and Carson, to name four, on pro-life, but so far, all of these men are sitting rather low in the polls...

Christ is watching!

And, as an aside, a suggestion regarding “prepping,” as a reminder, is to purchase/acquire a well-maintained bicycle. We were forced into this decision as our car quit running in November of last year, and we bike to everything now. When the *HTF, car travel might be next to impossible, yet there are going to be relatives and friends we wish to make contact with (if we ourselves are mobile), and it’s a lot easier to bike ten miles [or whatever] than it is to walk. So grab a bike; you know what they say. You never forget how to ride one. =)
