a dream



I was having breakfast with a very good friend of mine. We both attend the same church. We both want to preach but it isn’t allowed right now. Our pastor (who is a good man) doesn’t personally believe women should preach. Our church is divided on this subject. I do not push it but it frustrates me. I know many people frustrated because they have spiritual gifts, but find no clear way of using them. Any way, I had an idea today. Perhaps my friend and I could start a women’s ministry to reach our church, and city. I get a word, “ dream”. I would want to meet once every 3 months. We could have good worship, teaching, and prayer in small groups. The goal would be to build women up, help them to dream, support their dreams, and applaud their work. Another serious short coming of our church is it ‘s not good at encouraging the volunteers. I wouldn’t wait for our church to praise what we do, I would create a community that stands behind its people and regularly pats them on the back. Women need a regular watering of appreciation. We don’t get it enough from our husbands and children. We often get over looked or taken for granted in our jobs and volunteer service. I want to change that. And my dream is to do it for women all over the area, not just our church. If I can not preach on Sunday morning, it will not keep me quite. If I can not influence everyone in my church, I can still have influence. Anyway, this is my new idea. Please pray for me. Feel free to send me any ideas of what you have seem and read. I feel like I’ve been in a desert for too long. I do not want to remain in this dry place, and more important, I want to create an oasis for my sisters. They have so much to give, and they are so wonderful. It is painful to see them drying up.

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
