On The Times

"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

About me

One of my favorite Bible verses is Matt 10:16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be shrewd as serpents, and innocent as doves."

I was born in Fort Wayne, IN, raised Jehovah's Witness. The Lord got a hold of me at 20, married a wonderful spirit-filled man at 24. The Lord allowed me to be a Pastors wife and have 9 blessings (4 are now with the perfect parent, the remaining 5 are suffering thru us on earth!) and another, Micah, on the way. I take seriously the CALLING of wife and mother and search out ways to be as well rounded as possible.

My favorite Books in the Bible are Ruth and James.

Aside from Jesus, my favorite Bible characters are Ruth, and the Proverb 31 woman.

My favorite foods are... most all, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, ice cream!

I have an occupation, that being the Keeper of the Home with side jobs of secretary, doctor, dentist, advisor, chef, financial accountant, vice-president, decorator, theologian, landscaper, gardener, and professor to name just a few!

My hobbies consist of all crafts and arts of wifery and motherhood, while learning any area of life I have not yet tried! In other words, taking dominion of all I can while on this earth. There is no task too small!!!

My favorite music consists of any music that glorifies the Lord, esp. Paul Wilbur, Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, and classical

My favorite movies are Scarlet Pimpernel, Cyrano de Bergerac, It's a Wonderful Life, National Treasure, The Hunt for Red October, Bourne series

Knowing the Times

This is from an e-mail I wrote, simply preparing for the "just in case" that something dangerous looms on the horizon.

A man did a BIG article on his blog of what to do to prepare, lived thru Argentina's collapse in 2001, and continues to update it. This has given the best info on the subject I have found (not a christian)- go here.

There are great crank or shake or solar lights, flashlights, and some have adapters to charge your cell phone at walmart.

Are you on a well? If not, get a Berkley (I think that is the name of it ) water filter, you can use the lake water in it. It is on the Pearl's site as are SEVERAL great books and videos on survival/homesteading/and more here and here.

This site also has great items and info.

The supply of electricity will probably be sporadic, in the case of a major collapse, so a generator would be great, but gas may not be available.

Also, don't know how well computer access would be, so if all the info needed is on one, does no good if can't get it (we will all have with-drawls then :))!!

I have been going to half.com and Amazon to find books on primitive living, making and doing things from scratch. A great book is Encyclopedia of Country Living, lays out about everything to do on your own, incl can etc. Hope this helps, I will have Gabe add all this to our blog (many are asking) and try to put other things I find on there.
