Not that we want to start a religious debate on this site, but I think that our spiritual priorities will become more and more obvious WTSHTF. So I'll throw out this question: What would you do if you lost every material thing in this world, through a totally unexpected natural disaster? Would you be focused on getting more stuff as quickly as possible? (This George Carlin clip comes to mind: You must be logged in to see this link.) Would you become despondent? Would you focus more on growing spiritually through the loss? What would you do?
Me personally, if I lost everything I had in this world, I hope I'd have the faith of someone like Job, from the Old Testament:

I think that given the interesting times we're living in, doing a spiritual and psychological inventory like this now could be very important down the road. |

I don't know what I would do because I'm not to attached to my material "things"(or so I like to think).
I didn't lose everything but about four years ago I lost almost everything. I'm glad I did too, it's embarassing how I used to be. A good wake up call from God, I feel.
Hey but I noticed your link to You must be logged in to see this link. I just heard a sermon on the rapture, are you interested in me giving you the link? You can tell me what you think if you like. |

This makes me remember that discussion about getting rid of some your stuff (the stuff that you don't need), because some of it maybe a hinderance to being prepared.

True, I have been getting rid of stuff for some time, and what I can sell has been turned into silver and gold. If I lost everything, I would be free to do a lot more than I am now, we are slaves to our stuff.

| Lots of people wish for a fresh start. That could be their chance. I could care less. I'd just slowly regain what was lost. |
Trolling is an art. |
