Prepared?

Have you noticed the price of gas lately?
It's rapidly rising.

But what does that mean? That it's JUST the gas prices that go up??? Ha! I wish.
If I can, just for a moment chant Sarah Palin's motto "Drill BABY, Drill!!"
I wish our country would stop relying on other countries for our fuel, when we have the resources RIGHT HERE. But...what can you say...we have a small group of EARTH WORSHIPPING hippy people that are all for going green and even though they are the minority, they impose their belief system upon the rest of us. And, it is indeed their own belief system--dare I say religion. Yeah, I dare...it's their religion.

Don't get me wrong people...I am ALL for being a good steward of the earth. It is our job to keep it clean and all of that. But, I worship the CREATOR, and NOT the CREATION. Big difference. So...um...if God gave us those resources to use...why not use the stuff we have on our OWN SOIL?? Where is the common sense these days??? I just don't get it! Makes me nuts. Don't even get me started on our money borrowing President who makes the matter worse.

Okay, so that's the other part...if the Republicans can do some good and chip away at this debt, our dollar might have a chance to stabilize. But...we shall see. I can't say I've been impressed with either party for any length of time. So, I hope they start making some big changes. Well, one party in particular, I've never been impressed with if I must say the whole truth.

So, back to gas prices...
Those prices really have an affect on everything. EVERYTHING.
So, to prepare...we are stocking up on canned goods and such...just in case. My guess is that by summer time, gas will be 5 bucks a gallon. That should put a dent in the grocery budget for the month. Who knows where America will be in the next 10 years. It used to be great, but every great nation falls.

Now, I have a question. I do know some Christians who really think that saving money is considered "hoarding" and that isn't putting your faith in God. But then, how do they pass over that verse "Look to the ant thou sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise." Proverbs 6:6? Ants actually do stock up for winter, and aren't we supposed to consider that? Didn't God reveal the king's dreams to Joseph and he knew there would be famine in the land, so during times of plenty, he stocked up, and was considered wise. So, is preparing for what seems to be harder times ahead and storing up canned goods and things...is that also hoarding? I don't see a difference. Truly. Sometimes I don't understand how my own kind think.

Anyways, just some things I've been thinking about lately.
Oh, and I am all about green...


haha, I love it!
