But What If...My father dies, husband leaves, I’m widowed, the shaky economy… How is a young woman to prepare?

...Some question that girls who have only lived at home will really be prepared for the “real world.” A real woman should already be living in the real world, whether orphaned, abandoned, widowed, or part of a loving family. Those of us blessed with happy families and comfortable homes shouldn’t use them as a buffer zone from the concerns of the real world, any more than as an excuse to be lazy and incompetent. It would be great if every girl knew how to manage a schedule, plan meetings, buy groceries, pay the bills, defend her faith to antagonists, balance the check-book, take a plane, start a business, give a presentation, change a tire, buy a house, make clothes, deal with emergencies, butcher a chicken, write a book, and learn any new thing as she needs to know it. Living in the real world is actually a great way to learn these real-world skills. Families do these kinds of things all the time, and girls who are very involved in their families’ affairs should get a lot of experience navigating the world the way real people do — even more than those who pay an exorbitant sum of money to learn so-called real-world skills in the artificial, insulated environment of a college campus…

…Work — even paid work — is not something a biblical woman resorts to just when times get tough. Let’s go back to our Proverbs 31 woman. By all measures today, her situation was perfect — successful husband (v23), disposable income (v16) — even maidservants! (v15). Yet what do we see her doing from the darkness of the early morning through the night? Laboring. Producing. Earning. Increasing. Even in her comfortable circumstances, she embraced the privilege of productive work, the holy dignity in labor that the Lord first demonstrated Himself. Of all her virtues (generosity, kindness, wisdom, etc.), this chapter spotlights one virtue more than any other: her industry…

Illegal Immigration and Biblical Economy ~ by Regina

Mexico is cursed with poverty because of a lack of the gospel. The USA is now cursed with recession and worse because we have turned away from God's blessing, (Deut. 28.) The word of God has all the principles necessary for economic success including sound money "just weights and measures" which refers to measuring the gold and silver properly -- not stealing. Our whole money system is based on stealing -- money created out of paper and loaned to the US at interest by a private central bank called the Federal Reserve.

The “North American Free Trade Agreement” (NAFTA) brought thousands of Mexicans to the northern border to work in factories and a few years later, through regulation the companies went to China, leaving the people little option but to run to the US where we provide medical, welfare…

If our economic house were in order there would be jobs for many more.

The solution is for Christians to take dominion – through service. We must teach our children about sound money, biblical ethics for public office and raise our sons to be “elders in the gates,” elected officials. And raise our daughters to be wise advisors to back up those men.

The solution is to obey God in how we raise our families AND how we vote and hold our representatives accountable. It is part of our worship. God created civil government and says that the civil officer is his “minister” the same word as “deacon.” When Christians step out of the civil realm, or send their children to be educated by statists, we bring spiritual and economic poverty to the world.

Raise families, build businesses, develop Christian culture

and prepare to rebuild a God honoring nations and communities.

The current order cannot last. It is going to disintegrate. We must prepare to rebuild.

"Wherever they went the Irish brought with them their books, many unseen in Europe for centuries and tied to their waists as signs of triumph, just as Irish heroes had once tied to their waists their enemies’ heads. Wherever they went they brought their love of learning and their skills in bookmaking. In the bays and valleys of their exile, they reestablish literacy and breathed new life into exhausted literary culture of Europe.

And that is how the Irish saved civilization."

What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"...

A billion dollars...

A hundred billion dollars...

Eight hundred billion dollars...

One TRILLION dollars...

What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slightly fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.

A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily.

Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.



While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive,

$100 million is a little more respectable.

It fits neatly on a standard pallet...



And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...

Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing about so much. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.

You ready for this?
It's pretty surprising.

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you $1 trillion dollars...

(And notice those pallets are double stacked.)

So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.

Gerald Celente Forecasts 2009 on Lew Rockwell's Podcast: The Year of the Greatest Depression

From C.S. Hayden's blog: http://cshayden.blogspot.com/

In his latest podcast, Lew Rockwell interviewed Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Institute. The interview is an excellent listen, a tremendous investment of 13 minutes and 39 seconds. If you prefer to read a summary instead of (or in addition to) listening to the podcast, I give this to you now:

Lew Rockwell (LR) asks how bad things will get? Gerald Celente (GC) says that current events form future trends. The headlines say that 75,000 workers were laid-off in one day, and there are more layoffs to come.

Last year was the panic of '08 in the financial sector. This year we will see the collapse of '09 throughout the economy. What we have seen so far is just the beginning.

The crisis has already spilled into retail, as we saw closings of Circuit City, Linens 'n Things, KB Toys, and other familiar chains. By mid-February or March, we will see other big name failures.

The big collapse in 2009, which will dwarf the subprime meltdown, will be commercial real estate. Who will take the empty spaces when all the retail stores close, not to mention the banks and financial institutions?
LR correlates Hoover and FDR with our day's powers that be in Bush and now Obama. As with the Great Depression of the 1930's and 1940's, from which our country took 17 years to recover, the government is directly making the crisis worse by subsidizing losers and penalizing producers.
GC discusses the buildup and plight of Citi Group and calls it a giant protected by Washington rather than a "too big to fail" institution. Wall Street has hijacked Washington and gained control. For example, the new Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, is former President of the NY Fed.

LR and GC agree that Washington cannot actually save the banks like Citi. The government is just draining money from the producers and letting the failed banks simply reinvent themselves. LR says that the losing banks are "too big to succeed."
Wall Street has now completely taken over the Treasury, which used to represent industry as well as finance. Now, Treasury is ripping off the producers and making all of us much poorer to enrich the losing financial institutions.
And there is no end in sight, says GC.
There will be a revolt. This is a clear trend they are forecasting. The government knows this. It is building detention centers and training the military for riot control. States are training their police forces to deal with riots as a fallout from economic calamity.
GC describes himself as a "political atheist," meaning he does not want to get caught up in anyone's "political religion." So, his forecast is not a knock against Obama per se, but he does believe that Obama will instigate a draconion measure such as a bank holiday, which will freeze all assets in banks, or a gold confiscation. The draconion move(s) will severely hurt the "little guy" and enrich the "too big to fails." The powers that be will justify these moves as a necessity during dire times.
LR says that Bush gave us a tremendous increase in the U.S. police state and fascism (government and corporate collusion to control the economy); Obama is giving us even bigger government, more spying, and so forth.
The last Great Depression took 17 years to overcome, and we are now on an even worse footing.

GC says that we need something to emerge like an amazing alternative energy source -- on the level of discovering fire or inventing the wheel -- that we invent, own, produce, and maintain ourselves in the U.S. Short of a productive capacity such as the U.S. dominance in engineering and manufacturing after WWII or the emerging internet in 1993, we will be living in the worst conditions ever.
GC is not an investment advisor, but he says he just buys gold. The governments of the world are just printing money and using old economic paradigms in this global economic meltdown. Buy gold to protect yourself. (In this podcast, GC predicts gold will reach $2,000.)

GC also recommends firearms to protect yourself, your family, and your assets from off-the-charts crime rates.
People are and will be increasingly out of their minds. Petty thievery, not to mention greater and more violent crimes, will be drastically on the increase. We have a growing underclass that we did not have during the Great Depression when we were a nation in ascendancy. Now, the large cities only turn out about 50% of students as high school graduates.
GC is not a "survivalist" in the crazy sense, just a close-combat practitioner. He has dried fruits and water that would last two weeks. He had an escape plan during 9/11 and has one now in case something really, really extraordinary happens. It will be hard to get money out of banks and even harder to redeem CDs, which are financial instruments.

Take protective measures, be alert, and be prepared to preserve your wealth.

LR agrees that gold, guns, and cash outside the banking system are wonderful to have in possession for these dire times.


Although he is certainly a fallible man, Mr. Celente has a remarkable track-record for analyzing and predicting trends and events. "A prudent man forseeth the evil and hideth himself," says Proverbs 22:3. Accordingly, let the reader beware and wisely judge what he should do to protect his family, his capital, and himself. This is a duty, not an option.

Is Christmas About a Homeless Couple?

by Gary DeMar

Every Christmas season we will hear the inevitable revisionist version of the Christmas story. Jesse Jackson was the first to turn Joseph and Mary into a "homeless couple" when he claimed that Christmas "is not about Santa Claus and ‘Jingle Bells' and fruit cake and eggnog," of which all Christians would agree, but about "a homeless couple."[1] He repeated his "homeless couple" theme at the 1992 Democratic Convention:

We hear a lot of talk about family values, even as we spurn the homeless on the street. Remember, Jesus was born to a homeless couple, outdoors in a stable, in the winter. He was the child of a single mother. When Mary said Joseph was not the father, she was abused. If she had aborted the baby, she would have been called immoral. If she had the baby, she would have been called unfit, without family values. But Mary had family values. It was Herod-the [Dan] Quayle of his day-who put no value on the family.

Jackson made a similar claim about the biblical record in 1999 when he stated that Christmas "is not about parties, for they huddled alone in the cold stable. It isn't about going into debt to buy extravagant presents; the greatest Gift was given to them although they had no money. It is about a homeless couple, finding their way in a mean time."[2]. . . .

Puritan Economic Experiments

Paperback, 70 pages

About the Title: When the Puritans got off the Arabella and waded ashore to Massachusetts in 1630, they carried a heavy burden with them: five hundred years of accumulated unsound economic doctrines. This system of thought is today called scholastic economics. Actually, the later Spanish scholastic economists who were contemporaries of the Puritans had adopted free market views, but the Puritans had never heard of them. So, a series of disastrous economic experiments began in New England.

The Pilgrims had been compelled by prior contract to set up a basically socialist system in 1620 - the common storehouse - and had come very close to starving as a result. They dropped this practice within two years, long before the arrival of their neighbors, the Puritans. The Puritans did not make the same mistake. But they made others: extensive publicly owned lands for grazing, controls on who was allowed to buy and sell land, price and wage controls, quality controls, public guilds and monopolies, and controls on people's fashions. They learned first-hand what government controls produce: conflict and shortages.

For almost half a century, the Puritans ran the experiment. They served as willing guineas pigs. Eventually, they learned. Anyway, their children learned. In 1675, the great Indian war broke out - King Philip's War. The politicians tightened controls on the economy, and it began to break down. By the time the war was over a year later, the Puritans had learned their lesson. They abolished economic controls for good, and the economy boomed.

This is a story of nearly half a century of Puritan experiments with government controls, all in the name of Christian ethics, and why those experiments were finally abandoned as a failure. The Puritans learned from experience. Not until the American Revolution broke out a century later did American colonists again attempt to impose a comparable system of economic controls, and the result of those controls was the near-starvation of Washington's army at Valley Forge in 1777. Similar experiment - similar result.
