a sore throat

I have a sore throat. This morning it was cute because Sarah asked to pray for me, and she did. That was really sweet. Nicole helped me clean. I have the Alpha course at our house tomorrow. I'm making brunch and lunch. It's a joy to do this, but I just wish I was feeling well. I have no energy and my throat really hurts. But we will manage it anyway. Jurgen also helped. And the kids helped out in the garden. My house will never be perfect, but it looks ok for tomorrow. We have 3 talks tomorrow on who the Holy Spirit is. I just hope we can help bring these amazing students to a better understanding of God. Tomorrow Thomas and Philip will dress up in suits and go to church. They have taken part in a 2 year Bible study class. Thomas graduates tomorrow. I'm sorry I miss this, but I would have stayed home with Jessica anyway. Nicole needs to teach Sunday school. It seems our days get so full. I look forward to Italy. I need to slow way down. I think my body is saying that...that's why I'm sick!

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
