EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND WHY IT MATTERS

What is going on?  Inflation, gas and food shortages, global pandemics, lock downs, crazy weather and storms, riots and violence sadly have become almost commonplace.

Does it seem like the world has become unhinged? Well, you're not alone! A friend recently said that this is the way she feels, and I had to agree.

While inflation, food shortages, crazy weather, etc. are not new, they used to only happen here and there. Now it seems as if everyone, everywhere in the world is being affected, and all at the same time. So, what's a person to do?

The best thing you can do is be as prepared as you can and trust God for the rest.

When I say: "be as prepared as you can," I'm not saying you need to sell everything and move to a remote cave on top of a mountain and start hoarding ammo and tires! But there are practical steps almost anyone can take regardless of whether you live in a studio apartment, rent or own a home in the suburbs or, if you're fortunate enough to own some land.

So, what should you have on hand to be prepared for most emergencies? Good question.

My goal is to provide you with some guidelines, resources, tips and tricks that I've learned over the past few years, and you can take it from there.
