Welcome!

These monthly newsletters (from January 2011 to present) are to help us all be more prepared. They are written for the Hurricane Utah Stake (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,) but everyone is welcome to make copies. Many other groups and individuals are using them. (Note: Garden tips are for Southern Utah. You may need to adjust to fit your climate.)

March 2016

If March comes in like a lamb – will it go out like a lion? It seems like that old adage is often true. We do know from past years – that somewhere in March we are bound to have a bit of stormy weather at some point. It has happened before and will happen again. So it is with life. We know that life is not just smooth sailing. There are storms that come unexpectedly. President Gordon B Hinckley warned us in 1998 “There is a portent of stormy weather ahead to which we had better give heed.” We saw that happen with the fall of the economy, the attack of 9-11, and the wars across the world. Just like March weather is unpredictable but sure to change – so will the world around us be. The question is – will we be ready? Have we “battened down the hatches”? Have we stocked up and set aside? If not, we must do so soon. Today may be a lamb – but a lion is coming! Be Prepared!
