A year of disasters: Are you Ready?

I don't believe there is a person reading this blog that has not viewed the tornadoes on TV that have totally devastated complete neighborhoods and communities throughout the Southern Belt, the Midwest, and into the Mid Atlantic states.  It is only April, which should be a clue to all of us of the potentially long year ahead of us - fearful of storm after storm.

Perhaps we should start considering and accepting the fact that Armageddon may be closer than we think.  We have already witnessed countless wraths of storms all over the world, including most recently in Japan.  The fact that we most recently saw hundreds of tornadoes racing across several states in the past few days, bringing with it flooding and totally demolished buildings in their paths, can only  make us think that more deadly storms are on the way in the coming months.  Those of us here in Minnesota know we face both flooding and tornado damage if hit, and those along the coasts face the wrath of hurricanes.  And, although many states have not experienced earthquakes, the threat of such disaster has become a greater concern of almost every state.

I know I am ready to accept I am living in a world of turmoil, ever closer to coming to an end in due time.  In the meantime, I plan on becoming trained as a Red Cross Volunteer so that I can help out in times of disasters in this great nation of ours.  I feel we all live only once, and I want to make the most of every minute of what I have left - by helping others.

And that's......the way it is.
