Japan Tsunami. Hurricane Katrina. Iceland Volcano. Minnesota Earthquake. Chernobyl. Gulf Oil Spill. Leak at Prairie Island MN Nuclear Plant. Sure the Minnesota ones aren't in the same league as the more well known world wide ones, but the fact that I can list them at all, is scary. Tornado's in Minnesota? You betcha, then you can see me doing my best Dorothy impersonation “Auntie Em! Auntie Em!” and I don't even have an aunt Em. But not earthquakes. Earthquakes were outside my realm of understanding for Minnesota, until last year.

I don't know how hard it was for Joseph to come up with a plan to store grain for 7 years....did he know anything about it when he started?  How much grain would that be?  Where do you store it all?  How do you keep it from molding and going bad?  How do you keep four legged predators out of it?

He had to start somewhere though, consult anyone who could counsel him on it, come up with a plan...and then just get busy doing it!!  There was probably some trial and error...but he did it.  Many people lived to tell about it because he did.
