This was the 1960's and we were in the middle of the cold war. Everyone was worried about the Russians bombing us.
My friends and I used to open the hatch to the bomb shelter and climb down inside. It was in essence, a big metal can. It had an air vent and shelves for food. The thing that I remember the most is how damp and musty it smelled. We never stayed down there for very long.
Looking back on it now, what were the people thinking? The whole neighborhood will be blown up, but we can survive down here and then later emerge to a nuclear winter?
Fear causes people to do funny things. Resist fear. Trust in God.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
