The Most Important Prep

We, as preppers, try to plan and prepare for any and all contingencies in life. We stockpile food, buy guns and ammunition, and train ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally to deal with a myriad of situations. Well, ladies and gentlemen, when it all comes down to it, this prepping that we engage in is all for naught if one very crucial prep is missing. We might be able to survive for a period of time when the SHTF here on earth. That’s all well and good but it’s not going to matter when you die. And, despite all your preps and planning, you ARE going to die someday. If you die without one very crucial prep, the S will HTF in a way that exceeds anything any of us can possibly imagine. The S will HTF in a spiritual sense and you will

That crucial prep is to accept the free gift that is offered to every one of us. The gift that Jesus Christ paid for with his suffering and blood on the Cross. This is the week we commemorate His death and celebrate His Resurrection. Contemplating the gift He gave us so long ago really put it on my heart to do this blog post. Take some time this week to think on this and, if you have not done so, close this important hole in your prepping.

The Obama Lunch Snub-More anti-Republican Elitism or something more?

I ran across this article and read it, thinking, there Obama goes again, dissing the Republicans at any opportunity...but then I thought about it more deeply...See below the article for my conclusions...

WASHINGTON — Following President Obama’s lunch meeting with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill, Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins described the food served and said the president was not able to eat since his “taster” was not present.

“University of Maine recipe for healthy lobster salad — I pointed that out to the president in keeping with the first lady’s initiatives and Fox Family Potato Chips made in Aroostook County where I’m from and wild blueberry pie full of anti-oxidants, see this was a healthy lunch as well. We did have a little ice cream on the pie too, also made in Maine, Gifford’s Ice Cream. So in all seriousness this was well received,” Collins told reporters on Thursday after the meeting at the Capitol.

“Unfortunately, you know, the president can’t,” said Collins when asked if Obama ate at the lunch meeting.

“He looked longingly at it,” Collins continued. “He honestly did look longingly at it, but apparently he has to have essentially a taster, and I pointed out to him that we were all tasters for him, that if the food had been poisoned all of us would have keeled over so, but he did look longingly at it and he remarked that we have far better food than the Democrats do, and I said that was because I was hosting.”

According to a 2009 AFP report, the U.S. Secret Service has “always refused to confirm that US presidents travel with a food ‘taster’, in line with their policy of discretion on all security related issues.”

 

...I thought about this article and something hit me...the main part of the meal was lobster-based. Under Islamic law, lobster is considered haraam, or forbidden...Coincidence?

A- Sea creatures.
We are allowed to eat any fish as long as it has scales (see list here) . All other sea creatures such as whales, sharks, turtles, lobsters and crabs are Haraam.

The Man in St. Peter's Square yesterday

Hey all. I watched a little bit of the festivities surrounding the new pope being inaugurated yesterday. Being familiar with the Prophecy of St. Malachy, it is a little chilling. If the prophecy is to be believed, and I am not certain it is, this pope is to be the last pope. I ran across this this morning and got chills. This man was photographed in St. Peter's Square yesterday during the papal festivities, barefoot and in sackcloth, off by himself. I saw him and immediately thought of the 2 witnesses that are supposed to appear on the earth during the Tribulation. Not saying this was one of them. It could very well just be a crazy guy. With the direction the world is rapidly heading, though, who knows. The question is, was he praying with the people in the square or for them?
