What the Blog?

Well hello there!!  After much thought on how I would share all the information that has been racking my brain for the past couple months, I've decided that the only way to do so would be to start a blog.  There is just too much stuff to fit in those binders we pass around on Sunday, and not enough time for all of you to look at it.

In 2007 there was a First Presidency message titled "Prepare Every Needful Thing: Family Home Storage."  It stated:

Our Heavenly Father created this beautiful earth, with all its abundance, for our benefit and use. His purpose is to provide for our needs as we walk in faith and obedience. He has lovingly commanded us to “prepare every needful thing” (see D&C 109:8) so that, should adversity come, we may care for ourselves and our neighbors and support bishops as they care for others.

We encourage Church members worldwide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings.

We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve.

We realize that some of you may not have financial resources or space for such storage. We encourage you to store as much as circumstances allow.

May the Lord bless you in your home storage efforts.

We have been counseled for centuries to "prepare every needful thing."  My goal for this blog is to help us do just that.  I know that as we strive to work toward becoming more prepared and self-relient, we will be blessed!!
