Discipleship Training School

My son Philip is going to Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Hurlach, Germany. The DTS begins tonight and we just found out about it. Juergen called them to ask if Philip could get in the school. They said he could try it for two weeks to see if it would work for him. So it's just a test. If it works, he will be there for 3 months, and then go on a 3 month out reach. They go to places like China and Africa. But we don't know where that will be. He is really unhappy with his school. We have been praying for direction in his life. You need to be 18 to do a DTS. Philip just turned 18 on January 1st. Juergen will drive him to the school in the morning. It is about 4 hours away. We do not know if it will work out, but we are so grateful for the chance. We don't know what Philips school will say about him leaving right now. I guess we just need prayer. But we are so grateful for the chance to try it for a few weeks.

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.
