The Fire Conference

Nicole and I were late getting to the conference last night. The traffic was so heavy and there was allot of road construction. We had a really great time in the car together. Nicole is getting very funny. She kept me laughing with her observations from high school. Nicole is basically a nerd. No make up, and not a fashion queen. She has a heart of gold and cares about what really matters. Lucky for her she was born beautiful. She doesn't really need any makeup(in my opinion). I have no objection to make up. Some girls at this age cake it on. You can easily see they don't like them selves. They try to hide behind a mask. Nicole also had some funny stuff to say about the latest fashion trends. The girls are wearing cloths that look two sizes too small. They are also into short skirts, and bright colors. Nicole said the small girls look like Santa's elves, and the bigger girls look like they have forgotten their own size (meaning the cloths make them look fat).
It was really wonderful to hear Bonnke preach last night. There were maybe 3000 people there. Many of the people around us were from Africa. Nicole fell in love with a cute 10 month old African boy sitting in front of us. He wanted Nicole to hold him. He liked her long hair! The message was about the God who seeks for us. In every other religion, man seeks God. In Christianity it was God who came to seek and save the lost. It was an awesome sermon. More then 100, maybe even 200 people came forward to accept Christ as their Savior. Then He called people who were sick to come forward for prayer. Nicole and I came forward to pray for Jessica and Juergens mom. I think 500 people must have come forward. I prayed for Waltrud, and Nicole prayed for Jessica. It was a blessed time of prayer. I would love to report to you they are both healed. I hope some day I can do that! I can tell you it feels good to bring our needs to God and just trust him with the out come. I do trust him. I also believe He heals, so I will keep asking. We go again this afternoon. We are missing the morning service because Juergen needs to get some things done. That's OK because I don't think I have the energy to stay from early morning to midnight. I'm just so blessed to go at all. It really is good! It makes me want to go to Africa! Maybe someday I will!

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
