Dearest Friends,

Blessings and Greetings to all of you on this beautiful Memorial Day weekend. I trust each of you have enjoyed your holiday weekend and are ready for summer. It had been a very long winter for many of us in the northwest, and I'm ever so happy the sun is shining, the trees have leafed out, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming all over Liberty Lake and the area. After the dreariness of winter and the weariness of living under a cloud of constant bad national news, most of us are feeling like we can breathe and hope again.

It has been quite awhile since my last correspondance. Although, I have limited my out of town travel, I have kept busy nevertheless. I have spent several weeks writing and editing my first book on the Water Story. As I began to write, I felt the Lord showed me there will be three books on the Water Journey and that the nine year journey has paralleled a woman's pregnancy. I never saw or considered it like that before, and it made complete sense.

…

I hope to have some copies ready by this summer and will keep you posted. Pray with me about the formatting, publishing, printing and financing of the book. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the size, content, and easy to read stories that are woven into the book. You could eventually find your stated,river, lake, ocean or city named in the stories. As of now, the writing of the first book is finished, excepting for continued review and proofing.


I will be leaving this week for a month long trip to the midwest. This is my first major excursion in the Glory Van since I finished the twelve week trip to the east coast last fall. I am planning to drive back to South Dakota to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday on June 5. She is living in Neligh, NE, and my family is hoping to surprise her. My dad who lives in Mitchell, SD has just turned 85, and I feel I need to spend some time with both of my aging parents. Then I will travel to Anderson, Indiana where I will get to see my new grandson, Titus, for the first time. He was born in January and is my daughter's fifth child. I will be stopping in Worland and Sheridan,Wyoming, Pierre and Herrick, South Dakota, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. So if you're on my route, contact me, and we'll see if we can get together. I have many wonderful and new things to share with you. The revelation that has been coming to me and the downloads concerning water have been astonishing, and I've caught a glimpse of what I think is coming. It may startle you as much as it has me.

The last several months at home have brought much needed restoration mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I have spent hours reading and studying the many new things that the Lord is showing me. It has taken me completely out of my boxed thinking, but I'm ready for a new season. I will continue to travel and minister as the doors open, but I want to be able to incorporate some new and innovative things regarding natural health and sound, frequency, and music therapy. You'll have to 'stay tuned'.



Last of all, I want to thank you and ask you for your prayers for Joshua who has been in Afghanistan about six weeks. He called over the weekend deeply distressed that his company had lost a pilot and an apache helicopter in a crash. He is part of a small company that did not lose either one man or a helicopter during their 15 months in Iraq. So it was very hard too lose someone so soon. The cause of the crash appears to be mechanical failure which devasted the mechanics who work so hard to keep the 'birds' in the air. Joshua had mentioned they were having trouble getting the needed parts and supplies, although I do not know if that was the particular cause. He took it especially hard as the helicopter that crashed had at one time been assigned to him as the crew chief. It had his fingerprints on it. When I visited him at Ft Bragg over Thanksgiving, he had taken me to the hanger and shown me his aircraft of which I have a picture. He was very proud of it and being its crew chief. That is the very same one that crashed. He had NOT worked on it prior to the crash or since being in Afghanistan, as it had been assigned to someone else, but he took the loss of his pilot friend and the needed and valuable helicopter pretty hard as did their entire company. As you are led, would you pray for him and his company that there will never be another loss of life or aircraft.

If you would like to write to Josh or send a package, his address is:

Spec Joshua Reed
C co 1-82ARB TF Wolf Pack
Task Force Pegasus
APO AE 09355

Be sure and write or type the address exactly as shown. He said it could take nearly a month to receive mail. You can also email him at jareed_amt@hotmail.com. There is an underscore between his name and amt. He has not been able to check emails frequently, but will be moving to another base next week that will allow him easier access.


In closing, I thank you for your prayers and support and ask you not to stop. Josh and I need our friends, and I trust I will be a friend and encouragment to you as long as I keep writing these newsletters. Your financial support is always deeply appreciated and definitely needed.

Don't forget to get online on the website: http://www.carlareed.com/. If you did not get to read "Days of Glory" as the attachment I sent, it is now posted online.

May you be blessed and strengthened in your inner man as we allow the Voice of Many Waters to speak to us from within.

My love to all of you,

Carla

Karon Young recommended this link on Dream Interpretation

Friends, this is the best summary of guidelines and tips for interpreting dreams I've seen anywhere. What I especially like about it is that rather than teaching certain images always symbolize the same thing, it teaches that things in dreams symbolize what the dreamer has experienced and it's unique and individual for each person. See what you think if you are interested. This is more of Mark Virkler (Hearing the Voice of God) stuff. Love, Karon

Emergency Preparedness - It's for You (And Me)

Truthfully, I hate to hear negative prophecies. But the practical aspects of this one (Cathie Sheldon, Aglow Emergency Preparedness Coordinator) outweigh my discomfort.

The first time I heard Aglow people talk about emergency preparedness, it was in the wake of hurricanes. The bottom line is that those who were prepared could help their neighbors.

Back in the ‘Y2k’ days, our family prepared and urged others to do the same, not because of fear but so that we could help ourselves and others if there was a need (no matter how unlikely). As a result, we have a generator. We've never needed it for an emergency, but it has been used to power inflatables in the park, sound equipment for a wedding, and ran a neighborhood's freezers after a wind disaster. We also shared our leftover Y2k groceries and toiletries with people in need. We still store a few items but need to build up to the 30-day supply they suggest below.

We will be working on this and hope each one will begin also. Start however you can, but start somewhere.

Part of my mission statement in this Emergency Preparedness is to evaluate all I see and weed out those that seem exploitive and inflammatory. I see of lot of those. The enemy would like to "wear out" our minds with ineffective busyness. Wear out is the literal meaning of the word persecute of Daniel 7:25. With that in mind, I've decided to finally send this out to you.

I received this from three different sources since Sunday. This person added some vital information at the bottom that I thought was most beneficial, especially concerning personal hygiene and toiletries.

You have indicated you are already aware of the impending situations, now in addition to your own household, please sound the call to your constituency. It takes much time and expense to gather these type of resources. Finalize your family action plan. Make copies of important documents and account information and send to a trusted person out of state. Start NOW.

AN URGENT MESSAGE

I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world.AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE - EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US.For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires-such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting-including Times Square, New York City.

What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God's wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (v. 3).God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations.The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, "God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It's hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart" (Jeremiah 18:11-12).In Psalm 11:6, David warns, "Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire).fire.burning wind.will be the portion of their cup." Why? David answered, "Because the Lord is righteous" (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment-just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah's generation.

WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD'S PEOPLE?First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. If possible lay in store a thirty-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster.

As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We "flee like a bird to a mountain." Or, as David says, "He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven-his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men" (v. 4). "In the Lord I take refuge" (v. 1).I will say to my soul: No need to run...no need to hide. This is God's righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take-trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds.Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose.God bless and keep you,

In Christ,DAVID WILKERSON

5 MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE WITH EMERGENCY SUPPLIES
For most people, emergency preparedness is a brand new concept. As you get prepared, you will hear a lot of different opinions (including my own) regarding the best way to do that. I have helped thousands of people across the country get prepared for life's unexpected emergencies. As I have done so, I have noticed some common mistakes that people seem to make in getting prepared. Let me share with you what I have seen.

Mistake #1 - Not enough water or no plan for water at allAs has been discussed in this blog before, water is the most often overlooked item in your emergency supplies. People either under prepare for their emergency water supply or simply don't plan at all. A healthy adult can live for weeks without food but you will die in less than a week without access to clean drinking water. You will need about a gallon of water per person per day. That covers both sanitation and hygiene as well as hydration needs. There are articles in this blog that discuss water storage and water purification. Please take the time to read and make sure you have water stored for your emergency supplies.

Mistake #2 - No hygiene supplies
After a disaster, disease and illness related to conditions of poor hygiene are very common. In most disasters, more people die after the disaster than during the disaster because they cannot maintain proper hygiene. The simple answer is to have personal and family hygiene kits available. These items can be purchased as a kit or put together at home. Here are some items to consider in your hygiene kits:. Waterless soap or hand sanitizer - You may not always have water available, but you this type of soap will kill the bugs.. Port-a-Potty - This simple device fits on a 5 gallon bucket and will help keep the waste in a safe place. Make sure you buy bags and deodorizer.. Toilet Paper/Tissue. Toothbrush. Toothpaste. Razor. Small hand towel. Bar Soap. If you have babies: diapers and wipes (handy for other uses as well)

Mistake #3 - Out of sight, out of mind
It is critical to do three things with your emergency supplies: Review, Rotate and Replace. In order to do that you will need to have your emergency supplies in a place where you can get to them at least once a year. Many times, people make the mistake of buying their emergency supplies, typically a significant and important investment, and then never looking at them again until they need them.

Review: Make sure that at least yearly you review the items in your emergency supplies. Get familiar with what you have in your emergency kits and food storage. Try them out, use the products that you can.

Rotate: Then rotate out items that need to be used. Pull out the batteries and use them. Rotate at least some of your food supplies. That is why I recommend freeze-dried food. This is food that you will want to eat. Your kids will like it. Rotate out first-aid supplies or maybe medications.

Replace: After you have rotated out your old supplies to be used (don't waste them, use them!), then you will need to replace your supplies. Make your list of supplies that need to be replaced and do so right away.

Mistake #4 - Store shelf stable food and water
I see this mistake a lot. What I mean is, many people buy off the shelf items from their local retailer for their food storage. Now, that can work. The food from you grocer will work for food storage. The problem comes from the reality that people typically make mistake #3 with their emergency supplies, so the food never gets rotated. Items purchased from your local grocery store have about a 1 to 2 year shelf life. So you go out and spend a lot of money on food that will expire long before they will ever be able to use it or worse yet before they even look at it again.The reality is, most people don't review, rotate and replace.

So to compensate for that, buy long term, shelf stable food storage. Typically, that means food that will last for at least 10 years and water that will last for 5 years. It will mean your food and water will be usable when you need it.

Mistake #5 - Forgetting personal and comfort items
Many times when people are putting together their emergency supplies they look only at the basics like food, water, light, warmth, shelter, etc. That is all very important and needs to be done. But, it is important to not forget to put some of your daily personal and comfort items into your 72 hour emergency survival kits and shelter in place supplies.For example if you have kids, what are you going to do to keep their mind off the current situation? I recommend including in your emergency supplies simple games, coloring books or books to read. Throw in a pack of playing cards into your 72 hour emergency survival kit or some travel checkers or chess. Make sure in your shelter in place supplies you include comfort items like snacks that they like (rotate annually), maybe a stuffed animal, games, books, comfortable clothes, blankets, etc. Keeping you and your families stress level down and spirits up during a disaster is critical for survival.

Also, don't forget personal medications that you may need. For example, I wear contact lenses. My supplies should include contact solution and a replacement pair of contacts. I should also throw in an old pair of glasses, just in case. You may need a particular medication or personal hygiene item. If it is critical to your survival, then include it. If I didn't have my glasses or contacts, I would not survive for very long. It is as simple as that.
