 Just Reading.

 

Sometimes it pays to be careful what you are reading. The latest book on my Kindle is called Powerless Homestead. It shows the results to three different groups who are trying to live through the first aftermath of an EMP strike. This is where those guys and gals who are called “preppers” come in handy. If one has nothing associated with modern society—no power whatsoever—then how do you try to live? After the tornado in 1979, we had nothing in the way of power—no phone, electricity, gas, water. It was scary, but we knew that it was not that way EVERYWHERE! However, what happens if it should take place tomorrow? The book is gripping. Remember we mentioned how it was in the days of Noah when there was no godliness. Hmm. Well, it could happen that way if at least one part of the world were suddenly made weak in this way. And the entire world? What would things be like if the entire world were suddenly wiped powerless with a magnetic storm? Would it be dog eat dog?

 

Have thought several times that living off grid might be a lot of work, but might be nice and quiet. But you can bet your bippy that someone would want whatever you had—livestock, crops, or whatever seems useful. Even a water pump—the kind with a handle—might seem awfully important. Well, the only thing that will really matter when it gets down to it will be what happens to your spirit—the one God gave us. No one is going to take the physical body anywhere. Only a few have been “translated” or taken up by God. We even know that Moses died because an angel had to contend with the devil over the body. Elijah—a big difference.

 

Anyway, it is an interesting book. Maybe the old woman is a gutless coward, but living through such times and situations do not appeal to me whatsoever. But then there is one’s family and friends. About all any of us can do is live in the present day with the attitude that we will do all that we are able to live uprightly and with honesty and kindness toward others. That is what we can believe that God would expect of us.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
