Homily by Father Dave Dwyer, CSP from Bustedhalo.com for the Saint Michael Catholic Church Mass on Sunday 10 -14-2018.

Readings, Psalm and Gospel for the Saint Michael Catholic Church Mass on Sunday 10 -14-2018.

This Episode is based on the Larger Issues of Preparing to Survive a Bad Situation. These issues cannot be discussed with simple Talking Points or a Bumper Sticker discussion. If you are Reluctant to the Idea of Prepping or just starting to prepare for bad times that may creep into your life, this is for you. I want to help those that may feel confused, or bewildered with the process completely.

I was a "Prepper" before it was even classified as lunacy, terrorism or even cool, depending on who you talk to. In my 40 year journey, I have narrowed things down to what really matters, your Family and those you care about the most.

So, for now, stay away from the Hardcore, and Doom and Gloom Preppers

1) Avoid Prophets of doom and the Over Zealous Survivalist.

2) Take up Camping or Hiking, this gets you into shape without joining a gym

3) As you Camp/Hike you will gain Skills and get some Cool-Ass Gear too

4)These Adventures into the Wild, will help you start your "List of Needs" based on your Family

5) Your Family will grow closer together and the Children will learn to be more Self Reliant

6) You, will become more Confident, and have Fun while learning to Prepare

All subjects are based on a Minimalist Mindset and point of view to help take the Scary out of all the "What if's" in life.

Homily for the Saint Michael Catholic Church Mass on Sunday 10 -07-2018.

Readings, Psalm and Gospel for the Saint Michael Catholic Church Mass on Sunday 10 -07-2018.

Violence needs philosophy, and yet, compared to some of the other disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences, especially political science, international relation, sociology, and social psychology, philosophy has been almost reluctant to engage with the problem of violence.

In a move that may seem counter-intuitive, Philosopher Rowland Stout makes a strong argument why (in certain cases) we should consider violence to be a virtue rather than a vice.

“If someone attacks you for no good reason, they make themselves your enemy and in some circumstances, you may then be entirely justified in fighting back – not just to defend yourself but to inflict serious harm on them.”

By looking at self-defense as the Trigger of legitimate violence, ask yourself two crucial questions: What renders an aggressor liable to a violent action by you? And, in terms of respecting one’s victim, what is the appropriate degree of defensive violence, and will you have the time to figure it out?

Every time you allow yourself to come into contact with others, you will necessarily be forced to act. Your ability to read a situation and figure out others intentions, will determine whether you help them or harm them.

Make no mistake, the people you run into during the End of the World will be hungry, angry, depress, disillusioned, and yes, violent and not in a pleasant or agreeable mood. If you don't want to become unhappy with what you are forced to do, have to become, in these Life or Death situations, stay out of the Lions Den all together.

In any Nation Wide Catastrophe, such as an EMP, 90% of the people will die in the first year, that is 50 million people each and every month in the USA. What that tells me, for every day I stay alive, and away from violence, there are 1.6 million less problems on our journey.

Mark Levin had one hell of an awesome Guest on his Show, Life, Liberty, and Levin. Dr. Pry goes into detail how our enemies could use an EMP to change the Worlds Power Dynamic in less then 24 hour if they chose too, and with only one nuclear warhead.
