The Bucket
Learn it, Love it, Do it!
Can you feel it? There's something special in the air. It's electric! It feels like the growing excitement of game day. I'm feeling a spring in my step! Ooh, goose bumps. You feel it too, don't you? Rumor has it there is another food storage party in Ogden on Saturday, December 15th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. We will have two stations which means we'll need at least 10 volunteers. This will allow us to can an enormous amount of food. We will be passing out sign-up sheets and order forms in mid-November. Start saving your pennies! Wheat—a wonderful gift for the whole family!
The stake has a couple of food storage and emergency preparedness activities that are coming soon. One activity that I am really excited about is a wheat demonstration. They will have various examples of practical uses and recipes for wheat. I think someone said they will show us how to make wheat burgers. Won't that be thrilling! Being raised a Michigander and not always a Mormon, how was I supposed to know you can make wheat burgers? When I get more info, I'll pass it on.
On a different note, do you pay much attention to the world economy? When you get the paper, are commodity prices the first thing on your mind? Have you thought about the wheat production in domestic and foreign markets? Here's a recent headline I read just the other day, “Global wheat supply shortage spikes prices, worries importers.” Canada, Australia, and Russia report monumental drops in their wheat production. There are many factors at play, but the most alarming factor is severe drought.
If that doesn't get your attention, let me leave you with these words from President Spencer W. Kimball, “Let's do these things because they are right, because they are satisfying, and because we are obedient to the counsels or the Lord. In this spirit we will be prepared for most eventualities, and the Lord will prosper and comfort us.”
Tight Lids,
