The Last Days

Whenever you hear those words do they cause you to tremble with fear? They do for me!! But, the last few years I've been saying to myself "If you are prepared, you will not fear!" Our mom has always been a good example of putting up stores of food and planning ahead for "just in case". Last Saturday we went through the store room and kinda checked out what we have and what we need. (you don't need so much when you're down to one kid!!)
Last Tues. in Seminary we had a fire/earthquake drill and discussed the need for being prepared. Have water in your car, and blankets. Keep an extra pair of underwear in your backpack ... stuff like that. We had been studying Isaiah and he's really into warning us about the "Last Days".
Anyway, with the quakes and the storms happening one right after another you kinda wonder ~ where next?
Here's a little piece of info. I found at Emergency Essentials:

Six Ways to Plan Ahead
1. Check for Hazards in the Home
2. Identify Safe Places Indoors and Outdoors
3. Educate Yourself and Family Members
4. Have Disaster Supplies on Hand.
5. Develop an Emergency Communication Plan
6. Help Your Community Get Ready

If we at least do one thing a week, we're working towards being prepared and following the counsel of our Prophet(s)!!
