The sunset


I took Jessica to buy fish food & other supplies for our aquarium. On our drive home we saw an extraordinary sun set. I don't think I've seen a sunset so beautiful since I lived in San Diego. I thought of Juergen’s mom, and how the sun is now setting on her life. I wanted to cry but the traffic was heavy. I had to pull myself together. There was a song playing on my cd player. The words went "you will never walk alone; Jesus will be right beside you all the way". Then I hear the sweet voice of the Holy Spirit saying, “The sunset was beautiful, but heaven is more radiant. It will not be long until she is home."

It comforting to hear the words of the Holy Spirit. Have you ever heard the song "Wish You Were Here" by Mark Harris. It reminds of my grandmother everytime I hear it. Another great one is by MercyMe. It's called "I Can Only Imagine". both songs bring me comfort. It reminds me of what we all have to look forward to when our jobs on earth are done.

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
