Prior

A friend of mine doesn't like the 'pissed off' and prefers to say 'perturbed' - so prior planning prevents perturbed people. So if you find that to be more word friendly - use that version. Either way the thought is the same. It is something that I try to live by as a little bit of planning can easily prevent a good day from turning bad. When you have little ones, it entailed making sure enough diapers and baby food are taken along. Hungry babies and 'messy' babies make for a very unpleasant day! Nothing can ruin a trip faster. I have a child with a dairy allergy. It is important to bring along foods he can eat. We can't always guarantee we can get the foods that are safe for him when we are out and about.
Lately, I have also been thinking about the economy and all the 'bad' reports I have been reading. Plus, there have been so many disasters around the world lately. One of our IT people at church has a son that has been living in Japan for awhile. He is not in the quake area but south of it. They have black outs for 3 hours about 2 times a day. There are food shortages and long lines to get gas. Plus gas is being rationed. (Please pray for Japan.)
It got me to thinking about how prepared should we be for various situations here in the states. Most of the time, disasters tend to affect only a certain region - and not the whole country. I also doubt that the level of devastation that is affecting Japan would happen here. Still, how prepared are we? What preparations have you done?
