Preparing with Fences and Cows
Last week my sweetheart, Coleen, and I joined some of our children and grandchildren for some relaxation at a family recreation spot in southern Utah in the mountains just above a town named Junction. We were the first to arrive. When we came to the point where we could see the property, I was very concerned, because there were five cows with their calves inside the fence. My Grandad, who was a cattle rancher and provided this property as a family legacy, seldom intentionally put cows on the property. Cows and cabins and other human comforts do not do well together. >>Click Here for More<<
Would a Self-Reliance Course Even Make a Difference for Me?
I didn’t know the first thing about finances—so I was surprised when my husband and I were called to facilitate a self-reliance course all about it. >>Click Here for More<<

If Self-Care is not selfish – Then why is it so difficult for so many of us to make time for ourselves?
Recently I had the opportunity to explain to my kids what the term Y2K stands for. Reflecting back on what was “known” and “unknown” about how the clocks, banking systems, government operations, utilities, computers, etc. would all handle the change from Dec 31, 1999 to Jan 1, 2000 was a source of speculation, planning, preparation, and fear. Shortly after New Year’s day, the unknowns all seemed to be answered, yet the emotions, feelings and concerns before 1/1/2000 were still impactful, emotional and challenging. >>Click Here for More<<
Prep Steps, July 2022: Beans, Beans and more Beans
Maybe you’ve heard some of the stories in the Old Testament that refer to our diets. One is found in Ezekiel: Ezekiel 4:9
“Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches” (a grain)… thus we have today what some call Ezekiel Bread due to the ingredients found in this verse. >>Click Here for More<<
MID-YEAR FINANCIAL CHECKUP
The plans you considered so important at the end of 2021 may not hold that same importance now that we’re in the middle of 2022. It’s time to see if your financial goals are still relevant and if yes, are you meeting them? It might also be time to consider a budgeting app or online tools to keep you focused on your goals. >>Click Here for More<<

Logan Home Storage Center July 2022 Newsletter
165 East 2200 North, North Logan, UT 84341
Food for Thought
We have been asked what kind of protein can be added to home storage. Protein is important for muscle maintenance and growth. One source of protein from the Home Storage Center is beans. We have three types of beans available in #10 cans. The protein per cup of cooked beans is different for each type of bean: White (17 grams), black (15 grams), and pinto (15 grams). Each have several types of minerals and some B vitamins as well. Beans can be served in many ways, some possibilities: Soups, casseroles, chili, salads, pureed and used in place of oils and in baked goods. There are many recipes online and in cookbooks to give you ideas for the many ways beans can be used. If you are storing beans as your protein, be sure to store rice because beans are not a complete protein in themselves, and rice will contribute the rest of the nutrients to make a complete protein. You do not need to eat beans and rice together (though there are very good recipes for this duo), but you will need to eat one of each sometime during the day to make that a complete protein. >>Click Here for More<<
