In Remembrance
|
Is there such a thing as physically preparing for the end of the world? I'm with Kelly in preparing spiritially and I think I am.
I'm not even prepared for a mini disaster, physically. Just recently our power went out in an ice storm and I couldn't find my portable radio or batteries..and had no wood for the FP. I did have enough frozen food for a week, a working big flashlight and a neighbor got me fire logs from the grocers. TG I was only out for 24 hrs. You think I would have learned from being out a week, a couple of summers ago. Anyway, when the world ends, I'm ending with it!!!

If the world ends in my lifetime, I dont want to know about it. (I dont want to have to live in a remake of The Road Warrior)

Well, if it's the end of the world, I won't be here! God has everything prepared for me.

As a Registered Maine Guide I am prepared...but just last week, I remembered something I hadn't thought of. If we were to stay in place with no way to get gasoline or kero or fuel, why don't I have the old hand pump hooked up to my well?
I know I can get water from the lake and filter it or boil it but what happens when the filters and the fuel/electric run out? I have a deep well with a check valve on it and I know I can pump safe water with the hand pump. It's my new fix it chore now! I have the pipes and connectors and rather than wait for when I might need it, I am going to be proactive and set it up now!

I have one in each vehicle, and one bag stashed at the house in case we need to just grab and go. The Marine hubby came up with the idea and I didnt fight him too hard.
I am not worried about the 2nd coming of Christ, that is a welcome event, and I shall be taken home, but if a war breaks out, terrorists attack, or a natural disaster occurs I wont be searching for clean water while I search for shelter. We are both survivalists and would do well for a long time living off the earth. I almost never think about it, but now and again I smile because I know its there.

In order not to need more underwear, I need more pee-pads! Jeez, I got to switch into manual chair, there will be no recharging will there?This is really getting complicated. I can't bend over anymore and kiss things good-bye either.
