Top 10 Reasons why people don't get food storage

Humorous, but does give pause for thought. In the past year we've really seen reasons why being prepared can be so important. From washed out roads that trap people in their homes, and possibilities of pandemics, to gas shortages and extended power outages. Please take the time to evaluate your family's level of "preparedness" and start making steps towards being even more prepared. If you need help because you don't know what to store or how to store it or even how to get prepared, please contact Cheryl. She can put in touch with the right information. Also, watch for more information to be available soon.

Top 10 Reasons why people don't get food storage (Author unknown)

10. My neighbors have a TWO year supply!
No, they don't. They don't have any food. Did you know that 85% of the members of the church don't have any food storage at all? If your idea of food storage is to eat someone else's food...........this is a really bad plan.

9. I've paid tithing for 20 years...the church can give me a little food.
Many members believe that when the times get hard, the church is going to come through like Joseph in Egypt. Absolutely not true. All the church storehouses and welfare farms across the country would only feed 4% of the members of the church. The church has been asking YOU to store food for 75 years. They're NOT storing food for you. Thus, another bad plan.

8. I'm moving in with my children / parents!
Really....that's just a bad plan all by itself. But it points out that most members don't have a year's supply because they're PLANNING on eating someone else's food! Of course, since no one HAS any food, we have yet another bad plan.

7. I have a year's supply...and the bullets to go with it!
I've heard time and again, "How dumb is that to go to all the time and expense of getting food...just to have some guy with a gun come and shoot my family to take it away?" Here's a better question. Are you afraid of the guy with the gun? Or are you more afraid of BECOMING the guy with the gun? What would you do if your children were starving to death? Would you lie? Cheat? Steal? Would you shoot your neighbor for his food? I guarantee....if you were watching your child starving to death, you would do anything you had to to keep them alive. If you don't have your year's supply, you are putting yourself in danger of losing not only
your temporal salvation, but your spiritual salvation as well.

So far, all the reasons we don't have our food storage involve eating someone else's food. Please, don't put your family's temporal salvation in other people's hands. No one is storing food for you. Not your neighbors, not the government...not even the church.

#6. The boat and the 4 wheelers are taking up all my storage space!
(priorities!)

#5. 3 letters....Y2K.
Ok, that's 2 letters and a number....but they're always making way too much out of everything! This is never going to happen!" (Every prophecy that has ever been given WILL happen.)

#4. If anything DOES happen, the government will be here within hours!
(insert laughter) Did you know the government has been telling us that we need to have food storage? They're actually CALLING it food storage! We now have the government telling us to store food, water, medicines...whatever we will need to be able to stay in our homes for several months.

#3. I can't afford scrap booking AND food storage.
The average food storage can cost as little as a dollar a day. We live in the richest society in the history of the world, and while there are cases where money may be a problem, most of the time it is a matter of priorities. We have chosen bigger homes, nicer cars, more tv's, computers, vacations...everything is more important than our food storage. If I asked, "Who has a cell phone?" most of you would say yes. You pay at least $30 a month to have a cell phone....that's about a dollar a day...the cost of
one year's supply of food for your child. Is your cell phone really more important than your child's temporal salvation?
You have to make food storage a priority.

2. I'm waiting for the cannery to sell Papa John's dehydrated pizza!
Food storage has always had a stigma attached to it. If it's not wheat, beans and powdered milk, it's not food storage. With the system I use, food storage can be sweet and sour chicken, tamale pie, chile and cornbread, beef stew, shepherd's pie, minestrone...even chocolate chip cookies! Your imagination (and your pocketbook) are the only limitations you have.

And the #1 reason why I don't have my year's supply of food?
A year?? I thought it was 72 hours!!

*Emergency Essentials Group Orders are listed here. Be sure to have your money to Cheryl by September 27. Please make checks payable to "Lisa Vish". Also, our ward is now signed up to do bulk orders through Walton Feed. These orders are only twice per year and the next one is coming up probably next month. So look through your food storage and see what it is you might need. Walton Feed is good for bulk foods, emergency supplies, etc... (One of my favorite things they have is something called "Clear Gel"- it thickens without heat. Great to use to make fruit flavored syrups from fruit juice, etc... without having to heat. Works great!). Watch for more info to come as I receive it from the local representative.
