My sister is learning verses

My sister Shelley is memorizing a Bible verse a week in Sunday school. I like the idea so I thought I would learn with her. This is the cool verse this week. It almost makes me cry! I was talking with a friend on the phone. This friend is in some conflict and does not feel appreciated or really acknowledged for all they have done. But all this conflict would melt away if their boast was simply in God who is kind and righteous. They may not see this now, but God is true to his word. I pray for peace and an end to this conflict! I am not wise, strong or rich but God is! He is kind and he is just! Our worth needs to come from God and not man! this is a lesson I need to know well. Juergen is now an elder. Everyone will ask him what he thinks, seek his wisdom, and give him a chance to preach. I am know one. I have no title and no job in the church. I am here to back him up, free him up. I would love to preach but I'm not allowed to. But God is kind and God is just. My worth doesn't come from money, strength of position, or riches. I know God and he is kind and just.


Jeremiah 9:23-24
This is what the LORD says:
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declare the LORD.

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
