But I know I NEED to. I've already done a lot to deepen our pantry and to be careful with our finances. Where I find it difficult is the uncertainty...not knowing what things might cost more, not knowing if we should try to refinance the house, not knowing what could happen with my husband's job, etc.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734326566763419375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-76499266207365013112009-01-29T07:24:00.000-05:002009-01-29T07:24:00.000-05:00Brenda,More please!

(Break-ins, etc.) The other thing is that I cannot seem to find any other person taking this seriously. I know people who have plenty of money but they seem to think the groceries will always be available when they need to purchase them.(they might have a week's worth of groceries in the house.) I wonder how many of my church friends I will be able to help with my reasonable amount of pantry stock. This depression is going to be a mean one. Ultimately, our trust must be in the Lord. Still, we are to recognize what's coming and prepare for it. These are just some of my thoughts. <BR/>Mrs. L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-18042802519181277612009-01-28T16:48:00.000-05:002009-01-28T16:48:00.000-05:00Dee from TennesseeOn yes, Brenda.
