We make decisions every day. We decide if we want to sleep in or get up early, and we decide if we want to read a book or watch a TV show. Should we answer a phone call or let it go to voicemail. Some decisions that we don’t even think about […]
Preparing Ourselves
It’s so easy to think about all of the STUFF that we have to prepare, that we forget that we need to be preparing ourselves too. How do we go about doing that? You can find that in this blog category.
How My Christianity Affects My Prepping In Positive Ways
I believe in preparedness. I know. It’s shocking coming from a preparedness author who runs a preparedness blog. But I think that sometimes Christians fall into onto of two categories.

Don’t Waste This Quarantine
These last two weeks I’ve been blogging more, but other than that, I’ve been doing a whole lot of nothing. I’ve been watching through Survivor, which has been a lot of fun, but I’ve not really DONE a lot. But something about the quarantine really really hit me today. We […]

Normal People Preparing for TEOTWAWKI – Our Source of Ultimate Comfort
So last week, I wrote an article called Are TEOTWAWKI and Comfort Incompatible? In that article, I mentioned that that spiritual comfort is a real aspect of comfort during an end of the world scenario. The truth is, spiritual comfort is probably the most real aspect of comfort any time, […]
When Life and Preparedness Don’t Mix
Life right now is BUSY!! I’ve mentioned recently that I’ve been walking two miles a day. Besides the time to actually walk, it takes time to get changed and ready. It takes time to get cleaned up afterwards – especially since I’ve been mostly walking outside in the mornings or […]
