Small follow up...

OK...the response from most people on my last post is a verbal, "I agree but I'm playing ostrich". I just CAN'T think about it."

Well...understand that the following is intended in a spirit of love.

We are citizens of the United States of America. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We NEED to think about it. The Lord is at the helm. He's in charge here. He expects us to do our part, whatever that is, individually. Coming together will help us deal with this crisis that we are in. It will not go away by hiding. So let's come up with a plan. Maybe not a plan to change the world, but a plan to help and support one another. If we are prepared, we need not fear. Did you hear that? WE NEED NOT FEAR! So...WE SHALL NOT FEAR! Let's be prepared. Satan has a big enough hold on the "hearts of the people" market already. Let's not allow him to landlock our attitudes, our optimism or our hope.

Need some help?

Ok. Maybe we need something funny to help the cause. This was sent to me from Joanna Hickman. Mark and I laughed and laughed.

IF Dr. Seuss wrote the Book of Mormon:

Nephi: Of goodly parents I was born

I've never drunk, I've never sworn

This is Lehi, he's my dad

Laman, Lemuel, they are bad

And who is this? Why this is Sam.

Sam: Yes, this is Sam; Sam I am

Laman: That Sam I am, that Sam

I am I do not like that Sam I am

Sam: In a tent, my father dwelt

Laman: And it's so hot, I think I'll melt

Lemuel: Our father's brain is out of whack

Laman: Yeah, it's too hot, I 'm going back

Lehi: Then go and get the plates, my dear

Laman: On second thought, I'm staying here

Nephi: You said you'd leave and go away

Now all you want to do is stay?

Lemuel: That Nephi always gets his way

Laman: Here we are in this damp cave

Sam: We would not be here if you'd behave

Nephi: I will go and I will do

There's the angel, that's my cue

Laban's had too much to drink

Now he'll lose his head, I think

Nephi: Look what I found, a brother from the quorum

Sam: We will take him home, we will call him Zoram

Laman: Our gold and silver we have spent

I do not like it in this tent

Lemuel: I cannot read the Liahona

I must have drunk too much Corona

Laman: We hate it here, we have no lives

Lehi: Then go back to the city and get some wives

Lehi: A tree, a tree, I see a tree!!

The fruit is white, the fruit is free!

A floating building, could it be?

Why do they laugh and stare at me?

Laman, Lemuel, come and see!

Laman: We will not eat your precious fruit

Lemuel: We will not wear a tie and suit

Laman: We will not help you build your boat

Lemuel: We do not think that it will float

Laman: No not this boat, it will not float

Not even in a shallow moat

I do not care what Nephi wrote

Lemuel: We will not eat your fruit I say

Laman: We will not eat it on a tray

Lemuel: And we won't eat it in a tent

Not even if your clothes you rent

Laman: We'd rather have a can of spam

L&L: We will not eat it, Sam I am

Sam: You do not like it, so you say

Try it, try it, and you may

Try it and you may I say

Laman: Sam, if you will let us be,

We will try it, you will see

L&L: Say, we like this fruit of life

Sorry that we caused such strife

You've saved us from an awful jam

Thank you, thank you, Sam I am!

Ok. Now that you have had your laugh for the day...take a breath....

OOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!

Ok. Now...what can we do to prepare ourselves for the changes that are coming down the pipes? Food storage, spiritual storage, being a good citizen, write letters to our leaders, pray? I want to hear your ideas. It's either that or put up with 30 days worth of posts from me about how I intend to deal with it. And come on....do you REALLY want to listen to 30 days worth of rants from me? ;-)
