John, the Revelator

You said, "I clearly expect Iran and Israel to be involved in a widely prophesied war within the next 3 months, the ramifications of which will be undeniable to our nation."

Politicians and normal people make predictions. Prophets prophesy. Who do you believe is a prophet?

Sometimes I think it's easier not to feel, not to think, not to dream, not to live.
The rewards of society pale and cold.
Sheepishly preserving the now, shunning what might once be, what will be.
The foundation upon we stand, so solid, yet so fragile.
At night, thoughts about reward, thoughts about what matter.
Sleep brings closer the things we fear.
Steadily closing the gap between the now and future history.
No solace in uncertainty,
One foot in society.
I wonder.
I cry.
I dream.
I suffer.
Am I alone?

You can it, raw, no liquid required. Follow the manufactures instructions for canning times.

I have a lot of food in my food storage. I am trying to prepare for "things", but I must say it is still quite overwhelming with all that has to be done and thought of in all the areas one must preapre for. There are so many scenarios to think about…
I will keep at it though and thanks for all your wonderful ideas and thoughts.

Not sure about maintaining a free and civil society. I hope so. I think that there is a lot a good folks out there. Look how the Dakotas pulled together during the floods. and those folks during the Ice Storm. Americans in Flyover Country tend to be pretty darn good at helping out and taking care of each other.
As far as Suffering goes it's part of the human condition. We make a lot of our own problems, but we can also solve a lot of them as well. Look at how long we live, Babies that can be saved in Neonatal units, Cancer is no longer a death sentence. The Internet, I have friends all over the world now.
Remember the glass can be half full or half empty it only depends on your point of view.
Your old site had hit counter. Go look at that number again.

kellene,
this is your louisiana connection. I and my two daughters so enjoyed your couponing class last week . I saved 20% MY FIRST TIME OUT. For me, that is a vast improvement. My last UT daughter plans to come to the next class if she is off. Thanks for your concern on our parts. i helsd a self-reliance class last night in my home, and touched others lives who are already preparing, but i steered them to your and other sites. The Lord has increased your compassion, because you desire to serve Him by serving others, like King Benjamin taught. Just don't let yourself get despaired over the knuckleheads, that is a weapon the adversary uses. Peace out!

K, know that our efforts in earnestness is what qualifies us with having clean hands. Not our success. The Old Testament Prophet Jeremiah felt that he had VERY little success in saving the children of Israel. But he did save one particular family that we have ancient records of and that particular family created a whole other nation of Christian believers. So I don’t worry about my standing before God so long as I don’t give up. But not worrying about the people, that’s a whole ‘nother issue. *heavy sigh* I hope that some of the detailed information I’ve written for you on here has helped you to educate others in the manner that you’re looking for. That is part of my goal…to give others the “ammo” that they need to properly educate others.
Education does a GREAT deal of alleviating any doubts of sanity. Educate yourself. Calmly educate others. At least then you can feel comfortable and at peace in your own skin. I don’t say this trivially. I say it in earnest. Keep up the fight. They are worth it.

About 12 cups of grain will do 6 cups of flour in my experience. But it depends on how fine you grind it.
I love the Yoders bacon, but yes, it is pricey. You’d do better to can your own price wise.
I’m doing a LOT of research on various foods from companies all over. Some so disappointing, some very promising. It’s a huge undertaking.
