"Reasonable Faith"
This is stolen/paraphrased from Dr. William Lane Craig Part I For all you atheists who might read this – this is just a though project meant to clear a definition – it is not a trap of any kind.

Post Apocalyptic Fiction
I want to evaluate these books that are considered “Post Apocalyptic” literature… from more than one angle. From one angle as a book… good read, etc… From the other angle, as a guidebook for being prepared for catastrophe in our society. I have found over the years that fiction and narrative can be great trainers…Continue reading Post Apocalyptic Fiction
Prepared? The List from Various Sources
I checked various websites – including the CDC – and compiled a list of preparation materials. These are real concerns.

Keep in mind that this was less than an inch of snow one night and the below freezing weather…Continue reading Prepared? The List from Various Sources

Economic meltdowns In order to understand why I am publishing these articles, please first read the introduction. Thanks! Governmental economic meltdowns have happened before.

Prepared? Influenza from the past
Epidemic/Pandemic And epidemic is what you get when the number of people infected by a disease rises well beyond what is expected and impacts all levels of a community.
