"Should 'Prepping' Go Mainstream?"

'Prepping', once the purview of doomsday cults, has gone mainstream ever since the Corona virus reared it's ugly head. ( Funny how acres of empty store shelves where toilet paper once lived leaves a lasting impression).

"When some people think of prepping, it conjures images of strange people wearing tinfoil hats huddled in a shelter while they wait for the mothership to return," says the PreppingToSurvive.com website.  

So what's the real nature of preppers?

According to David Z. Morris of CNNMoney, "Many preppers are average consumers reacting to concrete worries, and their way of thinking is spreading, fueling an emerging lifestyle trend."

"More and more Americans are spending money to get ready for an uncertain future," Morris said.

Today's prepper, far from being a wild-eyed fanatic, sees prepping as an insurance plan. According to PreppingToSurvive they:

• buy extra food when it's on sale
• store extra water
• buy supplies in bulk and store some of it
• grow their own garden
• keep extra cash on hand
• get out of debt
• payoff their mortgage, if possible
• learn emergency first aid
• get to know their neighbors
• get to know their Bibles
• pray

In other words, today's prepper is: 

"A prudent person (who) foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions" (PROVERBS 23:3 and 27:12. It's there twice to make sure we get it!).

It doesn't have to be the end of the world. We are only one super-sized disaster away from the end of our world. (think supply chain disruptions, wildfires,  earthquakes, a job loss, an illness or even a return to panic TP hoarding). Let's not be part of the crowd waiting around for somebody else to come to our rescue.

A prudent person takes precautions.

A wise women  once said: "Private opinion creates public opinion. Public opinion overflows eventually into national behavior and national behavior, as things are arranged at present, can make or mar the world. That is why private opinion, and private behavior, and private conversation are so terrifyingly important." -- Jan Struther, author

"La Nina 2020: What Will It Mean 4 You?"

It's official. La Nina--a phenomenon that occurs when the surface of the Pacific Ocean cools--has formed. And according to the U.S. Climate Prediction Center, the effects are already evident.

"La Nina triggers an atmospheric chain reaction that stands to roil weather around the globe, often turning the western U.S. into a tinder box, fueling more powerful hurricanes in the Atlantic, and wreaking havoc globally. La Nina effects the entire world," the U.S. Climate Prediction Center said.

So far, La Nina can be blamed for: 

Over 7,000 wildfires raging across the west, including California, Oregon and Washington. Out of control fires have incinerated an unprecedented 3.1 million acres in California alone, thousands of homes, and over 30 people.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown fears the number of casualties will rise.

"This could be the greatest loss of human lives and property due to wildfire in our state's history," she said.

"Entire communities have been razed with five towns 'substantially destroyed' and widespread evacuations taking place under apocalyptic orange skies," reports MailOnline.

From Bloomberg Green: "The extreme weather that's hammered California with runaway wildfires and hit Louisiana with its most powerful hurricane in 160 years may be about to get even worse."

In a year of never-ending bad news, a recent study reveals that 44% of all Americans believe God is sending the world a wake-up call to repent and turn away from their sin, because The End really is near.

According to GotQuestions.org:

"The Bible prophesies of many events that will occur in the end times. These events can be categorized as natural signs, spiritual signs, sociological signs, technological signs, and political signs. We can look to what the Bible says about these things, and if the signs are present in abundance, we can be certain that we are in fact, living in the end times...with the restoration of Israel to her land in 1948, the single most impressive proof that the end times are really upon us. And remember, these signs are here to warn us.

LUKE 21:28 says, "When all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near."

The good news? Though this world is sinking faster than the Titanic, God has provided a way of escape through faith in His Son.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life" (JOHN 3:16).

A wise man once said: "In a troubled time, it's easy to focus on worries rather than on God. And yet we find the solutions to our worries in God. We worry about elections and about violence in the streets. We worry about the world economy and the terrible plague. Those issues are important, but our focus needs to be on God and the things of God. Every minute of life here needs to be lived in the awareness of a future that spans eternity." -- Hal Lindsey, author

"Scientists Want To Dim The Sun"

Last week, scientists published a new study on climate change and a possible combat strategy to cut global warming by half.

Their solution? Spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to dim the Sun.

Wait a minute...what? Isn't that the definition of chemtrails? You know, the stuff sky-watching conspiracy theory wack-jobs are always screaming about? Ummm...apparently not, because scientists at Harvard and Yale universities published their study in the journal Environment Research Letters, which proposes using a technique known as 'stratospheric aerosol injection', and never once mentioned the word 'chemtrails'.

And that ain't all. CNN reports:

"The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth's lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns."

And get this:

"Despite the technology being undeveloped with no existing aircraft suitable for adaptation, the researchers say that developing a new, purpose-built tanker with substantial payload capabilities would neither be technologically difficult nor prohibitively expensive." (CNN said this with a straight face).

The gigantic elephant in the room unacknowledged by everyone is that the chemtrail conspiracy theory is an amazing self-fulfilling prophecy where the wack-jobs are decades ahead of the scientists. And this, dear friends and neighbors, begs the question: Are we the crazy ones or are the scientists and the MSM in cahoots to make us think we're crazy?

Oh, and last but not least, the researchers acknowledge that spraying chemicals into the atmosphere could actually jeopardize crop yields, cause droughts and extreme weather. Yup, the very problems they're supposedly trying to solve.

The bright side? There's no need to worry our pretty little heads because the whole idea is "purely hypothetical" and will probably never be implemented anyway.

Ah huh.

And those trails of clouds crisscrossing overhead? Ignore them. They aren't really there.

A woman once said: "Some people have a difficult time facing truth and reality. They prefer to live in a make-believe world, pretending that certain things aren't happening." -- Joyce Meyer

"And there will be strange events in the sky--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" Luke 21:25-28

"Extreme Earth Changes?"

Though it's difficult to tell if the weather has taken a permenant turn for the weird, this past decade has seen a "quantum jump in extreme weather events,"  according to IOP Science.

This month alone, droughts, deluges, and heat waves have all made headlines.

The common denominator? Extreme.

For instance:

• More than 46% of California is in an exceptional, 4-year old (and counting) drought, the highest classification according to the California Drought Monitor. Neighbors are now being "encouraged" to tattle on water wasters,  in worst drought in 1200 years.

• Severe weather in Texas, Oklahoma, and Mexico left behind a trail of destruction this week leaving at least 31 dead, many more missing, 1500 homes damaged or destroyed, and thousands displaced. Some areas saw the most rain ever recorded in one month.

• A killer heat wave swept across India this week killing over 1400 people. Temps reached a scorching 122 degrees that left even the roads melted.

• And then there's the volcanos. We've got 40 erupting right now around the globe. Historically, the number of volcanos in a typical year is only 35,  so 40 in one month is definitely extreme.

• Oh, and let's not forget earthquakes. Nepal's 7.8 was so violent the Himalayas sank three feet and the death toll topped 8000. Earthquakes 8.0 and above have struck at a record rate since 2004. Usually you'll get only one 8.0 per year. Since 2004? 2-4 per year.

This May has also been a deadly month for fish, birds, and bees, with mass die-offs circling the globe.

And finally, what about those spooky noises coming from the sky that people across the globe claim they are hearing?

Reported earlier this month in Daily Mail, as "sounding like a trumpet or a collective from a brass section of an orchestra...the eerie sounds have been continuously heard at all different times and locations for almost a decade."

Very extreme. But as a wise man once said: "Nature is a slave to decay and death because of sin and is under the curse described in Genesis 3:17-19. Creation is as impatient as we are to be delivered from the bondage of corruption."  --Philip W. Comfort, PhD.

"All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time."  Romans 8:21-23
