In the world we live in....in the times we live in, being awake and aware is an essential survival skill. It also amazes me that the majority of people are uninformed and unaware. I constantly perform threat assessments...especially when I'm outside my home....at any location. Your situation can change for the worst in an instant in a world where fewer and fewer people know God and our Savior, Jesus. The only way I can improve my awareness is to grow eyes in the back of my head.....haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Stay informed, stay aware, stay armed, stay alive.
