Life is not fair


One of the best things I ever learned from my mom was life is not fair but life is good. I must have said,” that’s not fair" allot when I was a child because I really recall her saying "whoever said life was fair"? Tonight Thomas was worried that Philip got more TV time then him. He started a fencing class today and did not know I did not allow Philip to watch TV when he was gone. He seems obsessed with fairness lately. It is hard to be "fair" when you have 5 kids with 5 very different lives. For example, Thomas just got a very expensive drum set for his birthday. He plays the drums and he needed them to practice. I will not spend so much money on Philip this year. That's not fair. It is a hard lesson to learn but I'm doing my best to teach it. You see, life really is not fair! So many things are totally out of our hands. At some point we need to trust that even if it is not fair, God is still good. Most of the time it is better then we deserve!

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
