"prepare every needful thing..."

With the economy as bad as it is and about 30+ years of warnings about food storage, we should not be lazy about it anymore. One of my wonderful sister-in-laws sent me some handouts that she got in an enrichment activity about being prepared with 72-hour kits, food storage, canning, gardening, purifying water etc.! They are awesome! If anyone would like a copy, just send me your email addresses and I can forward them to you.

Remember the parable of the 10 virgins? Those were the members of the church, not the world. "I believe that the Ten Virgins represent the people of the Church of Jesus Christ and not the rank and file of the world. All of the virgins, wise and foolish, had accepted the invitation to the wedding supper...but they were knowing people who were foolishly unprepared for the vital happenings that were to affect their eternal lives. . . .Hundreds of thousands of us today are in this position. Confidence has been dulled and patience worn thin. It is so hard to wait and be prepared always. But we cannot allow ourselves to slumber. The Lord has given us this parable as a special warning." --Spencer W. Kimball in 1972!!
