Comment by Karen Halterman on October 13, 2008 at 1:21am: I hope to learn as much as I can. I have felt a strong prompting to keep adding to my food storage and really get serious about emergency preparedness. Thinking logically about what we really will need in addition to food. I have started thinking about each room in the house, what items we store and use frequently. I realized I needed to focus on the bathroom and start stocking shampoo, Toilet paper feminine products, everything I don't seem to remember to buy until we run out.

Barbara, I love your blog. All the advice and tips you've give have really helped me to restructure my food storage to have it work better for us. Thanks for all the great advice!

Spotlight on "Forged in the Refiner's Fire" by Candace E. Salima

Why do bad things happen? Is there a purpose when we face a bad trial? As mortals, we can be compared to ore, such as gold and silver. Ore that is unrefined is generally impure and undesirable. Only ore that is crushed -- and then refined by fire -- becomes beautiful, pure, precious and valuable. This book was written to help you see the results of the Ultimate Refiner, the Lord, in your own life.

Within these pages, people from all walks of life share their stories of triumph over tragedy. More importantly, they reveal how they were strengthened as they passed through the Refiner's fire. They became more precious, and so can you. Look for the experiences of vocalist Merrill Osmond, LDS writers Shirley Bahlmann, Elizabeth Cheever, Willard Boyd Gardner, Tristi Pinkston, and Candace E. Salima, renowned columnist Muriel Sluyter and several people across the nation who are ranchers, housewives, writers in the national market and more.

Candace E. Salima partnered with Elizabeth Cheever to co-author this book. They feel very privileged to have been the ones to bring this story to the world.
