If Ye Are Prepared, Ye Shall Not Fear


For about the last year or so, I have been fascinated with the signs of the Second Coming of Christ. Things are happening so fast, it's hard to ignore the fact that it's right around the corner.

My mom and brother introduced me to the author Roger K. Young. I HIGHLY recommend reading these books. I read his book "As A Thief in the Night" and have started another book of his, "Dreams and Visions of the Last Days". I honestly have to say that these books will make you strap on your halo, and get to work preparing yourself faster than anything I have ever read. Some things are truly frightening. I'm the type of person that would rather know what is going to happen rather than be caught off guard (I've had enough of that this year...).

Get your food storage, stay out of debt the best you can (given our country's economic situation, it's not easy), and get your spirit tuned up starting TODAY. Do the best you can, prepare the best you can. The effort will be well worth it.

Halloween 2009


Aaron: A giraffe? That would not have been my first choice.

Me: It wasn't mine either, but I had to go with process of elimination. The monkey costume was way too thick, he would have sweat to death. The lion costume had long mangy fur all round the face and hands, that costume wouldn't have stayed on for 2 minutes. The dragon costume had a big thick tail, so he couldn't sit down. Therefore, he will be a giraffe.

Halloween was great! In the morning, the cousins came over and we carved pumpkins.The boys got to play and have a great time. Later that afternoon we took all of the boys to the church Trunk or Treat. The church is just down the street so the boys got pulled in a big red wagon - which Ev loved.There was a huge turn out. Ev had a great time having free reign to cruise the parking lot and have mom and dad follow close behind. He scored 2 lollipops.
I refused to bring him around with a bag for candy. A one year old does not need candy and everyone knows it's for the greedy parents. That would NOT be me. He was such a good boy for having no afternoon nap.By the time we were finished with the Trunk or Treat festivities and were on our way home, Ev was slouched lower and lower in the wagon, almost asleep. There was pizza waiting for us at home. We ate some yummy food and headed out to the driveway where the firepit was blazing. Ev kept wanting to get into the fire, so I opted to have him playing in the house instead. By 8pm, we retired the giraffe costum and put our tuckered out baby boy to bed. Can we do this again next weekend?
