Mabel's Labels Contest Entry

I don't have much time. The electrical storms are rolling in fast, by this time tomorrow the interwebs may be nonexistent. I don't know what comes next; world wide chaos I imagine, looting in the streets, anarchy. It won't be pretty I'm sure.

Surprisingly, I'm not scared. I'm unafraid. I'm ready. My life passions have well prepared me for this moment.

God - "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" Psalm 23:4. Whatever challenges arise from this I know God will see us through. He has a plan. I will turn to him, the calm in the storm.

Blogging - Thanks to the beauty that was the internet I have friends, true friends, stretched from coast to coast across this country, the world even. I know that if things get dangerous, the homes of my friends will serve as safe havens, as we traipse the land in search of our place in this new world order.

Homeschooling - I'm so thankful we've homeschooled all these years! We have the supplies needed to continue our children's education regardless of the circumstances. Whether life continues as it was pre-internet, or we're forced underground in a Mad Max Thunderdome existence, our children will be well educated.

Green Living - This passion will serve us well. As the foundations of order and government crumble we can continue in comfort. I know the basics of hydroponics, cob house building and reusing recyclable materials. With a little ingenuity we will have the basic comforts.

To my family and friends: I love you dearly. I will see you on the other side of this catastrophe, hopefully no worse for wear. Good luck and God speed.

**Relax. There are no electrical storms or impending doom. Don't go all War of the Worlds on me. This post is my entry into the exciting Mabel's Labels Contest. The winner receives a trip to BlogHer 2010 and a one year contract as a paid blogger for Mabel's Labels.
