So we have accumulated a bit of food storage. Nothing special, some wheat, some beans.

Anyway our ward is doing an inventory where they are going to ask each person exactly how much food storage they have so that they can keep record of it.

The dilemma is, should times get rough, surely the Bishop will call on those that have food storage to give to those that do not. I could even see people being asked to give all their storage so that it can be apportioned "according to need" or somesuch.

At what point do you take care of your wife and children and reap the benefits of following the prophets, and at what point do you become just another one of the masses?

It would be one thing for me to give up my life, but it would be much harder to see my wife and son die. In my human weakness, I might resent supporting those that did not heed.
