It’s hard to imagine good people being forced to do unsavory things. But there comes a time when we have to prepare ourselves for the worst case scenarios. First, invite God into your life. He is the best shield of protection. Then we must be aware of our surroundings. I pray often, but I realize I have a God given brain meant to be used for common sense, hard work and personal responsibility. Protect your children. Protect your spouse. Protect the elderly and incapable. Learn self defense. Teach it to your loved ones. It’s okay to be a prepper. There are even churches that encourage this practice. When bad men want to infringe on our freedoms and Rights- we are not supposed to sit back on our laurels.
