Here is a dose of scripture story for y’alll. (It’ll do you good. Read this and and all your 2016 sins are hereby absolved)
During the seven years of abundant harvest, Joseph had the grain stored in cities (Gen. 41:48-49). During the seven lean years that followed, Joseph dispensed grain to the Egyptians and other people who were affected by the widespread famine. To create and administer all this, while surviving the political intrigue of an absolute monarchy, required exceptional talent.

More recently publications have changed that to a 3 months supply. Originally it was 7 years supply. But not because of apocalyptic end-times scenario, it was to take care of ourselves during tough times. This also includes having a garden, fruit trees, home production and storage etc etc. So not officially a “prepper” doctrine but many Mormons do take it that way.

And on 1/20/17, they fall back 50 years? Is this why I’m recently hearing radio ads for gourmet food with a 20 year shelf life? Bomb shelter supplies? Doesn’t it make more sense to just rotate the stock of non perishable food in your pantry, and isn’t that already a common Mormon practice? This talks about a 3 month supply: https://www.lds.org/topics/emergency-preparedness Oh, and CNN had an interview the other day with one of my favorite politicians, Adam Kinzinger, who represents most of my WISP service area. He pointed out that Russia is not the Soviet Union, and we should maybe not treat them as an equal like during the cold war, and that Putin is trying to push us around like one of their former satellite states, and it’s overdue for us to push back. I like his characterization of Russia as a gas can with an economy the size of Italy. http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1612/29/cg.02.html From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2016 11:37 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: Will DJT be president It will be an interesting year for sure. I am hopeful for a strong business friendly economic upturn. I actually would welcome the return of the cold war. Things were more peaceful back then.
