Right now, it’s faith in God. Faith that His promises will come to pass in my life. If it wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have a reason to live.
Here is a bit of my background: Things aren’t exactly what I hoped that they would be at this stage in my life. Lately, I have felt less than adequate. And guess what, who doesn’t? My experience isn’t unique to what others have gone through.
Nonetheless if I can wake up in the morning, then it can get better. There’s a God-given opportunity things and most importantly, me, to change. Thank God for that ability.

Introduction
Emergencies can occur at any time, and being prepared is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of your family, friends, and community. Developing an emergency preparedness plan can help you stay organized and informed during a crisis, enabling you to respond quickly and effectively. In this blog post, we’ll outline the essential steps to create a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan.

Before creating your plan, it’s essential to identify the most likely emergencies and hazards that could affect your area. This can include natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or wildfires, as well as human-made crises like terrorist attacks or chemical spills. Assess the risks and threats specific to your location and prioritize them based on their likelihood and potential impact.
Step 2: Establish Clear Communication Channels
Communication is key during an emergency, so it’s crucial to establish clear channels for staying in touch with your loved ones and receiving updates from local authorities. Create a contact list with the phone numbers and email addresses of your family members, friends, and emergency contacts. Additionally, familiarize yourself with local alert systems and emergency notification services.
Step 3: Develop an Evacuation Plan
In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation, it’s essential to have a well-thought-out plan in place. Identify multiple evacuation routes from your home, workplace, and school, and practice these routes with your family. Designate a safe meeting place where everyone can gather, and establish a communication plan for staying in touch during an evacuation.
Step 4: Assemble an Emergency Supply Kit

First aid supplies
Medications

Extra clothing and blankets
Personal hygiene items

Store your emergency supply kit in a portable, waterproof container that can be easily accessed during an emergency.
Step 5: Make a Plan for Your Pets
Don’t forget to include your pets in your emergency preparedness plan. Research pet-friendly shelters in your area, and create a pet emergency kit containing food, water, medications, and other essentials. Make sure your pets are microchipped and have up-to-date identification tags.
Step 6: Practice and Review Your Plan
Once your emergency preparedness plan is in place, it’s essential to practice and review it regularly to ensure everyone in your family is familiar with the procedures. Conduct regular drills and update your plan as needed to account for changes in your family’s circumstances or the potential risks in your area.
Conclusion: Creating an emergency preparedness plan is an essential step in protecting your family and community during a crisis. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you can develop a comprehensive plan that helps you stay informed, organized, and prepared for any emergency situation. Remember, being proactive and prepared can make all the difference in ensuring the safety and well-being of your loved ones.
The n-word. I think it’s a low-word class word that’s been used by one group of people to gatekeep and exercise a form of authority over another group.
.It’s vulgar enough that no one should really say it. We would be better off as humans if we were to disregard it and put it in the dustbin of history.
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
I would like to encourage people to use my blog to find the Lord. Then to use the joy that comes from knowing God to enjoy all the good things that’s He’s provided for us in this fallen world.
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
According to this prompt, I already answered this question but I’ll answer once again. I have an online merch shop. Go to somefun.shop to get some t-shirts and other cool gear designed by yours truly. Also you can find my stores at other sites. Just click here for a listing of them.
It was the first of the month so it certainly wasn’t. Also, It was filled with a different work schedule, laundry, and a club event downtown. Conversations galore and birthday celebrations. Inspiring thoughts and wishful memories. Today is atypical and will be cherished even more.
What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?
This is an interesting prompt. As I think, my parents didn’t keep many traditions. Unfortunately, they separated when I was six. It’s kind of hard to do that while being a part of two distinct households. However, the main traditions that I kept is being a person of faith and being committed to serving in the church.
If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?
The one dinosaur would be the triceratops. There would be no other reason for other than it is one of the species of dinosaur called out by the blue Power Ranger as he’s transforming into his superpower. It must have been a powerful beast.
I wonder how dinosaurs acted amongst each other? How did they coexist on the planet after sin and death entered the world?
