Day 7



Today I want to thank God for the miracle of adoption. As many of you know adoption is a very big part of my life. When I was 12 years old I asked Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior. I believe it was at this time I was "born again" spiritually. The Bible says I became a child of God. I guess all of us are children of God. Some of us are lost, others have found a way home (the way home is through Jesus, he is the door to God). I was in one sense adopted spiritually into one big family. I've felt adopted too. I have brothers and sisters all over the world. People, who also know our Father, people who share the same hope & love. My heavenly Father has also instructed me. He cared about my character. He wanted me to share his heart.
Juergen and I have adopted 3 children, Philip, Thomas, and Sarah. It has been such a great honor to be their parent. Sure it is allot of work at times. All children are work. To me it feels like being the Fairy God Mother in Cinderella. They were in rags, and now they can go to the ball. I will never doubt I was able to make a real difference in this world. God has given me this gift called adoption. First He adopted me and raised me with love and discipline. Now I have this ability to do the same thing. For me the greatest honor would be introducing them to our heavenly Father. I will not always be with them, but they can always have a family.

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.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi...

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 h...
