New Years

Hi, It is about 45 minutes past midnight here in Germany. We were invited to the party of very good friends. Jessica has not been to good lately. She wants to tear basically every book in sight. At first we thought we would take turns at the party. I would go first, and then a few hours into it, Juergen would come, and I would take Jessica. I have been cleaning house all day. Very good friends come for a New years day brunch. Any way, I was tired and asked Juergen to just go with Philip, Thomas, and Nicole. I stayed home with Jessica. Before you feel sorry for me...don't. I had such a deep desire to pray in this New Year. I was not really in the mood for a party, even though I love the great people that were to be there! I turned on God TV tonight. I saw a "One Thing" conference from Kansas City. The worship was wonderful...it went on for over one hour. I was very blessed. At 11pm there was a one hour interview with Reinhard Bonnke. Many of you know what a personal blessing Bonnke is to me. As the clock struck midnight, I was praying for Jessica. At first it was a pleading kind of prayer, but changed very quickly to worship. It was as if God was assuring me He had heard my cry for Jessica. My heart is so glad! The fire works continue to blast all around the city. I think it will be awhile until Juergen can safely drive home. I wanted to write this down. I did not want to forget this amazing peace I have. I feel so sure that God has heard my cry. Bonnke made a statement in his interview. He said the Gospel is not History, it is News! That is, God has not just worked wonders in history, He is working wonders now! He is making News! I believe God will make News in our lives in 2007! I pray He also makes some News in your lives too!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what
