I was raised in Minnesota. I joined the Navy right out of high school and moved back to Minnesota when I got out. I am married to the best woman I have ever met and am a stepfather to our two teenage boys.
I am passionate about preparedness and about sharing what I have learned. Writing this blog has been the most joy-filled, time consuming endeavour of my life and each time I get an e-mail or a comment on an article thanking me, it makes it worth every moment I spend researching and writing.
My regular job is in IT and when I am not there or working on the blog, I like to play PC games, read and enjoy time at the pistol range.
Here is a post I made called “Getting to know Chris”.
I found your site and really cannot wait to get more into reading it all.
I have found my faith again and I believe that we will live through the tribulation and I keep stumping across the same verse in the Bible talking about being prepared and I am thinking it is something I need to start working on.
I hope that I can learn a lot here!!
Thanks, Shirley
Hi Shirley,
I’m glad you came back to the Lord, and have started prepping. I hope you enjoy the site, please feel free to email me with any questions.
Chris
I stumbled on your site while seeking for Christian perspectives on prepping.
As I learn more about what I should be doing to be a more “complete” Christian man and husband, I have been seeking God’s direction with regard to my role as a husband and my responsibility to take care of not only my immediate family on a daily basis, but also be able to provide for others (Christians or not) who may have need when significant life altering events present themselves.
With that, I want to be mindful to NOT let my preparedness activities become an idol in my life, and want to remind my brothers and sisters in Christ of this as well.
I pray that you may keep God first and be guided by the Holy Spirit in your preparedness endeavors.
God Bless!
As I am sure has been mentioned here before;
Matthew 5:44-45
44…Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
As it says, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. Be prepared yourself and when it happens, help others in need as well and as best you can.
