What Did You Prep This Week?

Walk With God

My walk this week was pretty good. My prayer time was consistent as was my Bible study. I was able to step in and lead our Sunday School lesson on Sunday. We didn’t have Wednesday night Bible study this week but we did have a Maunday Thursday night service and a Good Friday service.

The Thursday night service was extremely powerful. Our pastor gave a detailed overview of the crucifixion and the effects on the human body that had most of us in tears. It was a powerful message that showed, in detail, what Jesus suffered so that our sins would be forgiven, so that my sins would be forgiven.

We also attended the Good Friday and (of course) Easter Sunday services and even made it to Sunday school. It was a powerful and emotional week.

Self Defense/Hunting

I bought two more boxes of .308 ammunition. Another box of what will likely be my “go to” hunting round and a box of “premium” hunting ammunition. It will be fun to test them all out as soon as I can make it out to the range.

I also bought a sling for the new Ruger American rifle. Now I just need to get to the range to get it sighted in.

Supplies

I was able to spend some time working in the garden tying up tomatoes, watering and planting some of the plants I should have gotten in the ground weeks ago.

Fitness/Health

I was pretty consistent about exercising this week as well. At least I did my own bare minimum each day (except one). I was also able to increase the number of reps I do in each exercise session. I am slowly regaining the strength and stamina I had before getting sick.

I made a list of food that can help bring down cholesterol (mine’s not high but Wonderful Wife’s is) and put together a shopping list based around those foods. Since I do most of the cooking I will make sure these get included in our diet.

My blood pressure and heart rate are still high. I have another appointment with the doctor next week. We’ll see what he says.

Finances

We put a little aside out of Wonderful Wife’s paycheck this week but, unfortunately, it will get used pretty soon. We spent a little more on the credit cards this month that we expected but looking over the receipts it was not frivolous.

That’s it for me. That’s what I prepped this week. How about you? What did you Prep this week?

What Did You Prep This Week?

Walk With God

I stumbled a bit at the beginning of the week and skipped a day of prayer and Bible study. Outside of that I was back on track with Bible study and prayer. We made it to church although not Sunday school this week and I was able to attend the Wednesday night class covering the Old Testament.  It felt good to get back on track and I definitely needed it this week.

Giving back is an important part of serving God. This weekend I was blessed to be able to give back a little. Our church puts on an event that brings kids out to the country and enables them learn and enjoy some great skills like camping, fishing, archery and shooting. I was able to spend the day teaching kids (and even a few adults) how to safely handle firearms. We also had the opportunity to share the Gospel in a fun and exciting way. It was also a real stretch for my physically after my recent health issues. I was also able to make a donation to the church this week as well.

Self Defense/Hunting

Tactipen

I spent some time practicing timed draws from concealment. I am still slower than I would like but I ma making progress.

I purchased a “tactical pen” for restrictive environments like when flying. It is definitely not my first choice for a defensive tool but it should be far more effective than harsh words.

I also bought some ammo this week; another box of .308, a box of .38 Special self-defense ammo and 80 rounds of buckshot. I have had a target for the amount of ammo I wanted to have on hand for at least a year and with this purchase I achieved that target for the last caliber on the list, 12 gauge buckshot.

Supplies

Bought two Maxpedition packs to test out a more modular approach to my EDC.

Fitness

I am back to square one but I have started stretching and exercising again after my recent health issues. I am getting stronger and should be able to catch up to where I was in a few weeks.

I have been a really bad boy and haven’t taken my blood pressure as often as I should have. Checked it today and it is still a little high (122/81) but still down from last week and WAAAAY down from last month.

Finances

Nothing financial this week.

That’s it for me. That’s what I prepped this week. How about you? What did you Prep this week?

What Did You Prep This Week?

The simple answer is, not a heck of a lot…

Walk With God

I am back on track with my daily prayer time and Bible study but we still missed church this week. Hopefully, we will be recovered enough to go next week.

Self Defense/Hunting

Nothing…

Nothing…

Fitness

We both went back to the doctor this week. Wonderful wife has come down with another secondary infection and is back on meds for that. My blood pressure is down but still very high. They increased the dosage on my meds and added a second to try and get it down. They also ran blood tests to check for organ damage. Fortunately, those came back negative!

I have restarted my daily stretching but exercise is off the table for a little longer until I recover a bit more strength.

Finances

Wonderful Wife got paid this week. A family member was also able to repay a little of the money I loaned them last year. Between those we were able to put a decent amount into savings. We are closing in on our goal of having six months salary in savings! We should be able to meet that goal this year.

As I have mentioned before I give each of my grand kids an ounce of silver for their birthday. With two birthdays coming up in the next two months I went ahead and purchased them now. To qualify for free shipping I added one extra ounce of silver to the purchase and we added that to own own stash of precious metals.

That’s it for me. That’s what I prepped this week. How about you? What did you Prep this week?
