what is faith?



Once Juergen and I had visiting friends from America staying with us for the summer.  We took them to see the Zugspitze.  This is the tallest Mountain in the German Alps. It is nearly 3000 meters high.   We rented hotel rooms at a lake directly in front of the Mountain.  But we could not see the mountain because of the clouds that filled the valley.  Those clouds remained for the entire time we were there.  You could stand on the foot of the biggest mountain in Germany, and even touch it, but you could not see it with your eyes.  . But we knew the mountain was there.   I have often thought about this experience as a good illustration of  faith.

Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see.”

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

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.
