However, deep in my gut, I know something is coming and it's going to change everything. Lately, I have been wanting to tell people this, to warn them. I have been "hoarding" food that I can't produce myself (flour and sugar). That's very unlike me, and it's odd for me to feel this way and do these things. I don't know what's going to happen-I know none of us does. For now, I am trying to do as much as I can and get settled any way I can. Trying to be as prepared as I can, if I can be prepared at all. So I hear you. I find it reassuring and frightening that others have had the same feelings. I guess we'll find out soon enough if we're all right!Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14823007336688773304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-63921125901538422052013-08-17T23:20:19.654-05:002013-08-17T23:20:19.654-05:00It seems to be going around.

It's strange, I never thought I would be "preaching" so to speak, and yet, there is this inner voice prompting me to do so. I feel woefully, inadequately, under prepared for what is coming and as scared and overwhelmed as I feel, something inside has been telling me that in the end everything will be OK. What OK is and who's perspective and definition of OK it will be, I don't know, however, I feel calm and relieved when the "everything will be OK in the end" is there. Pipe dreams? or just wishful thinking? Not a clue, just doing my best to survive.<br /><br />JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-17769781641087815192013-08-17T22:22:19.388-05:002013-08-17T22:22:19.388-05:00Thank you.

We read the news and try to discern what is coming. And some days - we are just plain old scared.

Our economy is spiraling downhill; our Government is corrupt and broken; the checks and balance system set into place by our forefathers is moot; and the scandals grow bigger by the day (with no one pursuing action for accountability). I think it's pretty safe to say, we are already on our own. <br /><br />The Government "of the people, by the people, for the people," is no longer. D.C. doesn't care about the people; it cares about power, control, and telling people what they need, should believe, and what they should be 'allowed' to have and to not have. This is not pointing fingers at any one group (all are guilty), but is just a fact; a fact that explains why we will soon see the great free America we once knew fade away and be replaced with a much less free nation and a harder lifestyle. <br /><br />Your entire post was spot on. Thank you.<br /><br />Glendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-78080619131116799222013-08-17T11:16:04.213-05:002013-08-17T11:16:04.213-05:00You know, I've had many similar conversations....You know, I've had many similar conversations. Granted, most of my 20-30-something peers are blind to what is going on and focused on themselves, but many of those I spend time with have similar premonitions of change as what you're seeing. I work in public safety, so I have a lot of friends who are veterans of our recent wars, and most my friends are in law enforcement/fire/EMS. So perhaps we see what's really going on in the world more clearly than our peers.<br /><br />It is hard to consider, really and truly, that the life I now live is the most luxurious I'll likely have for a long time, but it is good to know that it isn't the best I'll live. I believe the change will be for the better. No TV, having to literally work for a living, being forced into real community—sure, on the surface that looks sad, but really, I think it is a good thing. And I'm optimistic that my children will live in a better world than I live in, which is more than my parents (who are likely your peers) can say.<br /><br />So what am I doing? Like you, I'm squaring away my debts in hurry. I'm seeking out as many skills and training as I can, and trying to prepare with supplies as best I can.<br /><br />Dark times may be coming, but God is still on His throne.GorillaMedicnoreply@blogger.com
