I agree with everything you said about the status of our situation and even making sure the pantry is fully stocked. Still and all, if you would allow me, and give a little space to my outlook, Jesus describes what will happen in the "end times" in the Bible, Matthew 24, and without getting into any dissertation about all that He said, basically, He says things will get really bad.

Also, and perhaps less controversial, I found a few Netflix Documentaries rather terrifying: "Hitler and the Nazis;" Hitler's Circle of Evil;" and "Churchill's War."

My hope is in God, and I suggest the most sensible "meat and potatoes" thing to do - besides stocking up - is to get right with God by requesting a right relationship through Jesus. He promised to return and to right our Ship.

God has done wonderful thongs for me after I called on Jesus to rescue me, and He will rescue all who do the same.

I realize that there are a lot of naysayers, but "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." - 2 Peter 3:9... and, by the way, I aint no fool..
