It's included in the cost


I'm listening to the audio book, "The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind" by Bill Johnson. It's a great book. I think I will get through the whole book tonight, and listen to it again and again. He tells the story of a family living in Europe that wants to move to the USA. They are poor and plan for along time to take the boat. They buy their tickets for the ship. They pack all kinds of food they believe they will need for the weeks spent in the small cabin they will share. At dinner time they can hear all the passengers heading for the dinning hall as they eat their crackers. Finally, on the last night of the trip the father decides to treat his family to a good meal to celebrate. After the meal the father asks the waiter, "how much do I owe you"? The waiter looks confused and says, it was included in the price of the ticket.


His point is God included so much more for us then spiritual salvation when he died on the cross. How many Christians are surviving on crackers when there is an all you can eat banquet waiting for us? I don't know about you, but I'm sick of crackers...I want more from God!!!

So true, why eat crackers when you can have the meal. Dinners ready!

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.

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

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
