Matthew 25:1-13 (King James Version)
1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mondays, I'll post a motivational thought that reminds us why we live providently. We'll have new inspiration each week!
Tuesdays, I'll post the new item for the week that we should be adding to our 72-hour kits. Once we finish the 72-hour kits, we'll start making our car kits. If you join the blog while we're in the middle of one of the kits, don't feel like you have to go out and buy everything to catch up (unless you want to, of course). We'll be cycling through both kits together.
I'll also post some suggestions for what you might add to your 3 month supply.
And finally, I'll remind you what the long-term food storage item is for the month. We'll only do one item per month because we're doing other weekly activities. I know I wouldn't be the only one to feel overwhelmed if we did more than that!
Wednesdays, I'll tell you about upcoming activities or giveaways, and review any recent activities we had.
Thursdays, I'll show you any articles I've found pertaining to that week's items or activities, or I'll post some cheap crafts or easy ways to live providently! I might also show how to figure out some kitchen equipment, like different ways to use a rice cooker or crock pot.
Fridays, I'll share a recipe that can be made from food storage items. These may include some fresh items, like eggs or butter, but you can always use food substitutes. I'll try to include some dairy-free and gluten-free recipes, too, because I know some families in the ward who need that.
It's going to be really fun! You can always comment on what we've posted, or share new ideas or methods. Keep in mind, the activities we do will always be advertised in church.
