Dear Doves,Steve told everybody that he was leaving the air to do what he has been recommending and doing for years. He will continue the web posting of news items etc on his website.What Steve is doing is similar to what our Family Preparedness ministry of the Winkelman Foundation has had to do. We had Family Preparedness Seminars for 10 years with little or no response from the community at large, lightly attended and covered mostly by human interest reporters. Now we are exclusively on the internet and getting our family prepared personally, especially since my husband's Parkinson's Disease has been getting progressively worse. He was diagnosed in Oct. 2001, but has had little progression in the disease due to aggressive medical and spiritual treatment. Now however it is moving faster so we stay home a lot more ;o)Anyway I have noticed this in a couple of other ministries that as time grows short, and O I believe it is, they are kind of hunkering down and getting everything ready in their own lives. IMO those who aren't and should may have some of the meltdowns that we are seeing increasing. The necessity of being spiritually prepared is CRUCIAL!!!Practice Ps. 91 and Eph. 6 (whole armour) and get yourselves cleaned up!Shalom,Betty Winkelman
