Several crops have been damaged in the U.S. The stage is set for several more. As summer takes on...note that Mexico is still recovering from last season. Most all of your fruit in the world is grown in Mexico, Hawaii (Bannannas...Pinepples...coffee, cocoa) Israel (fruit) California, and Florida for citrus. The US and Austrailia also for corn, wheat, rye.
Pay attention to these areas. They will affect you at the grocery store.
Much of your Summer melons and leafy greens come from the east coast and south east. California grows the same year round...but I reccomend your local grower for as much of these items as possible.
Louisianna, East Texas grow a large amount of Rice, of course the orient which is already acknowledging a rice famine.
Breads will become ever increasingly expensive and harder to come by as this progresses. Stock up on various crackers as you can.
All of this sounds expensive huh? "Come out of her my people..."
why? "That ye be not partakers of her plagues"
That you don't suffer along side the wicked...this is going to get worse, much worse before it is over with. Once I make the move to Texas, I likely will not post very much, and at that time, just as the message went from emails, to this board, it will likely go to face to face.
As much as God has given me to know these things in advance, he has given me the insight to know that he will guide us through this... those who care to hear the actual message and not just the sensational. Unfortunately, to this point, so much time seems to be focused on those aspects which draw attention to the message rather than the actual message...that will soon change, but as I said, face to face. This weeks Sabbath Study will be on Chapter 26 of Proverbs. You may want to read it ahead of time and study it on your own.
For now, here are some articles you should take interest in, and some immediate advice concerning the content of the same.

Please start praying that God will provide me a good job in the region of Waco, to deal with the immediate concerns after finishing school, as I will need to spend some time there, and then for the means to aquire a farm up towards
Dallas, Ft. Worth.

While we are here, note that damage in Texas does not seem to be reported as heavy at this time...BUT the DRY conditions are noted...well they should be...You may recall the bumper corn crops of last year...you might want to start monitoring the U.S. Drought Monitor...it is updated weekly on Tuesdays and the results are posted on Thursday. Pay close attention to our Wheat belt...the entire midwest...it's not just wheat...a staple in nearly everything in your dry goods...but corn, and hay...animal food gets hire, meat costs go up. Lack of hay...cows die...facing losing it all...people panic....take to heart what I have told you about the beef stocks.
