…in my opinion.

Coming Storm

Our generation is witnessing the birth of a new world.  As the old one prevails, this new world will be completely different from our own past, deceptive, and hard to fully comprehend as time unfolds.  It is being birthed in a sea of change and even now we are feeling the sea spray against our face.

What can we do to prepare?

  1. We should stop telling ourselves false stories and lies.  There is enough falsehood and pretending to make everyone sick to their stomach.
  2. We should mentally and spiritually prepare ourselves and others for the great changes ahead and a very different world that those changes will bring.
  3. Each of us should get out of debt as soon as possible.  As leaders of our respective families and organizations, we should be the first to set the example and ecourage others to do the same.  Payoff as much as possible…every $ matters now.
  4. It is now time to learn how to manage change instead of growth.  We will be required to understand and know how to do more with less.  Judgments must be honed in order to decide what is essential and what is not.  Strategtic decisions will need to be made on what to retain, what to eliminate, and what to outsource.
  5. We need to start immediately to rethink everything; such as life priorities and what we do with our time and how we relate to others.
  6. Now is the time to trust yourself.  Rely on your own intuition, research, and experience for what is best for you and your family.  Do not forget God and trust in Him.

The Unsustainable Future of Our Economy, Energy and Environment

What lies ahead will not look like the past.  According to Chris Martenson in his book, The Crash Course, the next 20 years will be different from the past 20 years.  (http://www.amazon.com/Crash-Course-Unsustainable-Economy-Environment/dp/047092764X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317432318&sr=1-1).  There will be more uncertainty, more volatility, and more instability ahead.  This volatility will increase in frequency and intensity.  For many, this will be the beginning of sorrows.  By God’s mercy and grace, we are witnesses to this unfolding drama.
