Ok, so those of you who are familiar with the End times in the Bible, this is my take on it.
This last week at work I have seen lots of people buying staple items for storage. One woman bought 17 of the 25 pound bags of flour. She bought lots of jello also, but she was buying things like honey, vinegar, vegetable oil (24 bottles) and rice, not much because it had already been bought up. Where does one store that much flour without the mealy bugs getting into it? Freezing is fine, but you would have to have an empty freezer, maybe two big chest freezers at least just for the flour. Anyway, in the Bible it states that at the end times, a loaf of bread will cost a man a days wages. I believe that when it talks about bread, it means groceries. That certainly is a fact. Also, when I was younger and the preacher talked about Armageddon, and people riding on horses, we wondered why anyone would ride horses when we had cars. Well, look at gas prices. Of course there were no cars back then anyway, but still. I look at it this way, God promises to take care of us, and I think that these people are either so afraid to trust God, or smart to stock up, but guess what. If it comes down to a famine, people are going to raid their stockholds, and they won't have any of their food. We can hope for world peace and lower prices, but we can't prevent the inevitable from happening. So, by putting your faith in God and letting him take care of your needs, is all he asks.
Ok, I'm done preaching.
Can you beieve how cold it is again? Monday was 80 and today is supposed to be a high of 47. I have strawberries to plant, but I'm not sure if I want to put them out yet.
Oh yeah, and Dody started getting this little sore just on the outside of her right nostril yesterday. I just put my hands over my mouth to stifle the laugh. Then said "Hope it doesn't get like mine." She worried, and I don't blame her. Mine still has a sore, but it doesn't hurt any more. It still looks red, but I did get a sunburn on my nose on Monday also.

Very true. I think that we should prepare for hard times, but know that we are in Gods hands and he will take care of us.
I am sick! sick! SICK! of cold weather!
