BIS DIE KIEH HEEMKUMME

By Ed Weber

Hab oft driwwer gedenkt, Es hot ebbes lang gnummeIch muss yuscht aahalde

Bis die Kieh heemkumme.

Die Kinner sin bees in die Schul, Der Schuulmeeschder am schelde un brumme. Wie lang bis die Schul ausgeht? Net bis die Kieh heemkumme.

Die Palledischens kumme zamme, Do sin viel Gscheide un Dumme. Sie rangle un dischbediere, Der ganz Daag - bis die Kieh heemkumme.

Mei guder Freind is grank.

Ich bsuch ihn un bring ihm Blumme. Wie lang sin die Blumme schee? Yuscht bis die Kieh heemkumme.

Ich hab en Bauerei gkaaft, En grosser Schuld aagnumme.

Wann kann ich’s abbezaahle? Net bis die Kieh heemkumme.

Wann die Kieh ihre Hanner net bloosse, Warre sie oftmols abgnumme.

No heere mir die Kieh heemkumme.

UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME

I’ve often thought,

When something took pretty long, I just have to keep on Til the cows come home.

The children are cross in school, The teacher scolds and complains. How long till school leaves out? Not till the cows come home.

Politicians come together, Some wise and some not so wise. They argue and reason together, All day - till the cows come home.

My good friend is sick, I visit him and bring him flowers. How long will the flowers be nice?

Only until the cows come home.

I bought a farm, Took on a big debt.

When can I pay it off?

Not till the cows come home.

If the cows’ horns will not blow, They will be taken off.

Then we hang a bell on their neck -

Then we’ll hear when the cows come home. ***

Three weeks ago we visited DER ALT WEISSKOPP un Fraa Weisskopp in their new home at Landis Homes, not very far from the village of Oregon (which we locals also know as “Catfish,” here in Lengeschder Kaundi. It was a grand reunion, for we hadn’t been together for a visit for a number of months. Ed and Mrs. Ed are very comfortably installed in their corner home, from which Ed emerges every day for his mile long walk along the highways and byways.

Since we had not had any Dutch material from DER ALT WEISSKOPP lately, we asked him to share with us anything he had in his Dutch notebook. Yesterday, BIS DIE KIEH HEEMKUMME and BELLE flew into our mailbox. This week, we feature BIS DIE KIEH HEEMKUMME: next week it will be BELLE.

As is so often the case with Dutch poetry which is written these days, DER ALT WEISSKOPP deftly unites the past with the present. Outside observes might like to assume that we Dutch live only in the past. If they look more closely, they will observe that we hold on to the best from the past and select from the present whatever we think is valid.

The younger generations who have not lived on the land and tended the cows have missed out on a very important American experience. It’s good to have ones’ feet firmly on the ground - even if we poke our heads into the clouds occasionally.

Furnish A Home For Comfort

The pandemic changed much about the way people live, including a propensity for spending more time at home. In 2020, people spent far less waking time, roughly an hour and a half less on average, with people outside of their own households.

Home Makeover Summer

Though restrictions that limited social interactions have long since been lifted, spending at home has remained popular. More than two-thirds of Americans are spending more time at home, according to the American Time Use Survey from the U.S. Department of Labor. Inflation and the looming threat of a possible recession are undoubtedly keeping more people at home. With all that extra time on their

hands, respondents have been poring their energy into fixing up their homes. Lawns, kitchens and living rooms are popular spaces to renovate.

As people continue to fix up their homes, they may be interested in ways to make them more comfortable. Certain furnishings can ensure living spaces are comfortable places to pass the time.

• Ensure an abundance of light. One stark overhead light will not create a cozy environment. Introduce groupings of illumination where you hope residents and guests will congregate to engage in conversation. Utilize different lighting sources, such as task lighting, table and floor lamps, recessed or ambient lighting, and even candles. Warm temperature light bulbs will add to that comfortable feeling.

• Coordinate designs for each season. Crisp cotton and breezy linens are great for the warm weather, but when the colder temperatures arrive, it’s time to swap for flannel or jersey. Folded quilts or throws on the sofa also can be handy for chilly evenings. Make subtle changes to the home as the temperature changes to epitomize comfort in your spaces.

• Splurge on your sofa and bed. Much time will be spent lounging on the couch or sleeping in your bed. It’s worthwhile to invest in pieces that are durable and, above all else, comfortable. While these items may be more expensive up front, the comfort they provide will be well worth it.

• Soften harsh lines. Tricks

like incorporating round area rugs or using oval or round pillows can break up the straight line of rooms and even modern furniture pieces. Opt for soft and inviting textiles as well. Textural elements, such as woven decor baskets, also can soften harsh lines.

• Introduce organic elements. Home entertaining expert Julie Blanner says plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables bring life to a space. Choose easy care plants if you do not have a green thumb, or swap out freshly cut blooms in vases as pops of color and fresh elements are needed.

• Utilize warm paint colors. Cool-toned paints can make a space seem colder and more utilitarian or clinical. When looking at swatches, select paints that have warm undertones. Eggshell and satin sheens will be more inviting and evoke a cozy feel more effectively than flat or matte finishes.

These are just a few ways to build a cozy and comfortable home. Working within these parameters, homeowners can customize their interior spaces to maximize comfort.

Consumer efforts to be more eco-conscious are more and more noticeable. For proof of that, one need look no further than the increase in vehicle charging stations. Such stations are more accessible than ever and illustrate that consumer preference is increasingly leaning toward products that leave as small a carbon footprint as possible.

Another indicator of a growing interest in ecofriendly products is the popularity in energyefficient homes. In fact, a recent survey from the National Association of Home Builders found that energy-efficient features are among the most sought-after “must-haves” among homebuyers. Among those surveyed, 83 percent desired Energy Star-rated windows, 81 percent wanted Energy Star-rated appliances and 80 percent preferred energyefficient lighting.

Though eco-conscious sensibilities compel millions of homeowners to make their homes more energyefficient, that’s not the only reason to upgrade your home. The following are a handful of the many benefits of energy-efficient homes.

• Save money: Inflation was one of the biggest stories of 2022, as the cost of living

rose dramatically in the wake of world events.

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation led to an overall 6.5 percent increase in prices. But that increase was dwarfed by the cost of electricity, which increased by 14.3 percent in 2022. Energy-efficient appliances can help homeowners

overcome that spike, as the U.S. Department of Energy indicates upgrading to such products can help homeowners reduce their energy costs by as much as 30 percent.

• Improve resale value: As the NAHB survey indicates, modern homebuyers want energy-efficient homes. They’re also willing to pay more for such homes.

Research from the mortgage lender Freddie Mac found that homes with energyefficient ratings sold for nearly 3 percent more on average.

• Live healthier: The benefits of energy-efficient homes aren’t just economic, though health-related benefits certainly produce an economic incentive as well.

According to the American Council for an EnergyEfficient Economy, insulation and air sealing protect individuals from heat waves and other ripple effects of climate change. The ACEEE notes that weatherization can improve indoor air quality and comfort, a notable benefit for asthma sufferers and seniors. In fact,

the ACEEE estimates that integrating energy efficiency programs in homes could reduce seniors’ risk for falls in their homes, potentially saving $2 billion in fallrelated health care costs over the next decade, and improve asthma outcomes, which could reduce health care costs by as much as half a billion dollars.

Energy-efficient products and practices pay numerous dividends, making them a worthy expenditure for any homeowners looking to upgrade their homes.

As any homeowner knows, renovation projects tend to cost a lot of money. The average cost of a home renovation is difficult to gauge, as such endeavors run the gamut from complex projects like a kitchen overhaul to simpler ones like painting a room inside a home. Indeed, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry notes that scope is what drives the cost of a renovation project. Though there might not be an “average cost” of a renovation project, homeowners can expect to spend thousands of dollars on projects that are not very small in scale. Navigating such an expense at a time when inflation remains high might be difficult for some homeowners looking to

Budget-Friendly Renovations To

maintain the appearance of their home exteriors. However, there are many budgetfriendly ways homeowners can tend to the exterior of their properties.

• Power washing: Power washing won’t break the bank but it can revive the look of a home. Power washing removes dirt and grime from the siding of a home and a power washing can be used to clean porches, walkways and patios as well. Hardware chains like Home Depot and Lowes typically rent power washers, but homeowners who don’t want to do it themselves can hire a professional for a few hundred dollars, if not less. Power washing after winter can be a good idea, as the elements can take a toll on a

home’s exterior. A good power washing before spring and summer entertaining season can thus give a home a fresh, clean look without breaking the bank.

• Furnished front porch: A furnished front porch can serve as a welcome sign to neighbors and provide a great place to relax with a morning cup of coffee and a good book. Homeowners with a small porch won’t need to bust their budgets to upgrade their front porch furnishings. Some small chairs with bright cushions, a small table and a rug underfoot can revamp an entryway at low cost.

• Replace hardware: Another simple way to freshen up a stale exterior is to replace hardware. Door knobs, knockers, house numbers, and even the mailbox can appear dated after a while. Replacing these items is inexpensive and quick but can have a profound impact on how the exterior of a home appears to residents and visitors.

Exterior renovations need not break the bank. Various simple and inexpensive tweaks can quickly revitalize the exterior of a home.

• Window box installation: Installing window box planters is another costeffective way to brighten up a home’s exterior. Homeowners can hang window boxes outside windows on the front of their homes and then fill them with brightly colored flowers to add an inviting pop of color to their home exteriors. The experts at Better Homes & Gardens urge homeowners to take weight into consideration before buying window planters. Keep in mind that soil and developed plants can be heavy, so look for a sturdy box as well as one that has drainage holes.

Outdoor Plants

Toxic To Household Pets

Pets bring many positive changes to households. Pets can make homes more lively, and the companionship of animals can reduce feelings of loneliness while offering additional health benefits to pet owners.

Individuals who are preparing to adopt or purchase pets need to be mindful that they may need to make changes at home to ensure residences are safe places for pets to reside. Much in the way new parents must assess the environs for potential hazards to babies, pet owners should conduct similar inspections. These safety checks should occur both inside and in the yard if pets will be spending time outdoors. Poisonous plants are a potentially hidden hazard prospective pet owners must address before bringing a new pet home.

People generally do not give much thought to the plants they include in their homes and yards beyond the care instructions and how they can add to the aesthetic appeal. Homeowners may know if a plant likes the sun or shade, but

Home Makeover Summer

they may not realize its potential for toxicity. That’s because adults in particular are not prone to ingesting the plants in their yard that are inedible, unlike curious pets that may sniff and nibble plants when exploring their environments. For those with dogs and cats that will spend time outdoors, it’s best to be aware of these potentially toxic plants, courtesy of the ASPCA, Dr. Buzby’s and Garden Design.

• Autumn crocus: There are various types of crocus plants, but the one most toxic to dogs is autumn crocus. The entire plant is toxic, but the highest concentration of toxic agent is found in the bulbs.

• Sago palm: People in warm climates may enjoy the look of palm trees on their properties. Despite its tropical and relaxing appearance, the Sago palm is extremely poisonous if ingested by pets, with the seeds being the most toxic part.

• Lily: Lilies are highly toxic to cats in particular. Even grooming pollen off of their fur or drinking water out of a vase where lilies are kept may cause kidney failure.

• Tulips and hyacinth: These early bloomers are beautiful flowers, but each contains a similar alkaloid toxin that is mild to moderately toxic to pets.

Again, the highest concentration is found in the bulbs, which dogs or cats may dig up while exploring.

• Aloe vera: This soothing succulent may be part of an arid climate landscape. Aloe contains saponin, a toxin with foaming properties that can harm pets if ingested and cause severe dehydration.

• Begonia: A popular outdoor and houseplant, begonia has decorative flowers and attractive leaves. However, the plant can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, particularly the underground tubers.

• Azalea: This flowering shrub produces flowers in many colors, so it’s often present in household landscapes. It’s important to note that azaleas can be toxic to dogs and cats.

• Yew: American, Canadian and Japanese yew may be found around properties. These shrubs produce small red berries with green centers (almost looking like the reverse of a Spanish olive with pimento). Yew is toxic to cats and dogs.

• Dahlia: Dahlia produce flowers in different colors, so they are common in

flower beds. However, these plants also are mildly toxic to pets.

Many toxic plants can irritate the gastrointestinal system in pets, potentially resulting in vomiting, diarrhea or lethargy. Those who suspect a pet has ingested a poisonous plant should contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control

Summer is a season of relaxation when school is not in session, vacation season is in full swing and people everywhere are getting outside and soaking up the summer sun. It’s hard to imagine how that can get any better. But it can for people thinking of installing a pool in their backyard.

Pools definitely have a wow factor that’s hard to replicate. Homeowners considering pool installation can take note of these factors as they try to decide if a pool is right for them.

Cost

The cost to install a pool depends on a host of factors, including which type of pool

homeowners are considering and where they live.

According to the online home improvement resource Angi (formerly Angie’s list), the average cost to install an above ground pool in the United States in 2022 was $3,322, while the average inground pool installation in the same year was $55,000. That’s quite a disparity in price, and homeowners should know that the average cost of each project is higher in certain regions and under certain circumstances.

Potential ancillary costs, such as excavation and plumbing relocation, will add to the final cost of the project. The erection of fencing around the pool if no

fencing currently surrounds the area where the pool will be located also will add to the final cost.

Factors For Homeowners To Consider Before Installing A Pool At Home

resale. If an inground pool is likely to increase property value by a substantial amount, it could be well worth the extra upfront costs.

own, it’s also possible to hire someone to do it for a relatively small fee each season.

Location

Maintenance

As noted, above ground pools, on average, require a considerably smaller financial investment than inground pools. This is an important consideration, but which option may ultimately prove the better investment is worth researching. Homeowners can speak with a local real estate professional to determine if an inground pool or above ground might yield a significantly higher return at

Pools are undeniably fun, but they still require maintenance. The experts at Better Homes & Gardens note that vinyl liners in pools last approximately six to 10 years, while painted concrete may require a fresh coat of paint every five years. Plaster finishes may last as long as 15 years, while cement-coated products can last a lifetime. Pools also need periodic cleaning, and chemicals to keep the pool operating safely and cleanly will require an additional, if somewhat minimal, financial investment. Homeowners investing in a new pool should be aware of the maintenance required to keep the pool clean and be willing to do that maintenance. And though homeowners typically can open and close pools on their

A survey of the land in a yard can reveal how smoothly a pool installation may or may not go. Though it’s possible to install a pool in just about any yard, some spaces might require greater preparation and preinstallation effort than others. Sloped backyards, for example, may require the services of a landscape architect to prepare the space, which can extend the time it takes to complete the project and add the overall cost.

These are just some of the factors that merit consideration when mulling a pool installation. A homeowners’ best resource might be a local pool company who can visit a home, provide an estimate and point out any challenges that may arise during the install.

Who doesn’t have a space at home that serves as a catch-all for items that have no other home? For many, this tends to be the garage. Before long, clutter can overwhelm the space and create an eyesore. Garage clutter also makes the space less functional by making it harder to park a vehicle or store equipment.

Organizing a garage takes work, but the end result can improve the appearance, free up space, make work more efficient, and make it easier to find tools more readily. Here are some tips to start organizing.

Start With Cleaning And Culling

One of the first steps when

Tips For Organizing Your Garage And Creating Storage Solutions

organizing a garage is to thoroughly analyze what is needed and what can be removed from the garage. If items belong elsewhere, such as in a shed or the basement, move these items first. Discard damaged or broken items. Next, move on to tools or gear that hasn’t been used in some time. Will you use it again? If the item

has been collecting dust for years, you already know the answer to that question.

Pile all items in the driveway so you have a clean slate with which to start. Measure the room to figure out the dimensions so you’ll know how much wall space is available for storage.

Free Up Floor Space

The ultimate goal of a garage storage renovation is to make floor space available. Lifting items off the floor makes access easier, and protects items should there be a flood or leaks.

A combination of wall shelves, overhead shelves, cabinets, and wall hooks can help homeowners create more floor area. Organization becomes easier when everything has a designated space where it can be easily returned to.

Consider Weight

When investing in shelving and racks, remember that many of the items stored in garages tend to be heavy. It’s important to ensure that

shelves and hooks are heavyduty and able to withstand the weight put on them. Verify the maximum weight so that racks will not buckle.

Utilize Overhead Space

Overhead storage can be reserved for items that aren’t used frequently, such as seasonal decorations or luggage.

Out Of Sight

Some items should be stored out of sight and beyond the reach of children and pets. Cabinets and

containers can be used and locked to secure materials, such as fertilizers, paints, solvents, and other chemicals.

Additional Ideas

Magnets, pegboards, organization bins and systems, and similar products can be used to corral small items like hand tools, fasteners and more.

Garage organization will take some planning and time, but the end result can be worth the effort.

Whether they’re sick of wrestling with poor backyard soil, or simply looking for a unique alternative to traditional gardens, more and more homeowners are “going to bed” turning to raised bed gardens to indulge their green thumbs. If you’ve never considered creating a raised bed, you’re missing out on one of the most personalized experiences gardening has to offer. A made-to-order raised bed offers several advantages over a conventional garden, including:

• Comfort. Gardening doesn’t have to be a pain in the back. You can design and build a raised bed to your exact specifications, constructing an easily accessible garden that’s the

perfect size and shape for you to work on. You can even raise it several feet so you can sit while you

garden. Just be sure that it’s made of stable materials that won’t topple in bad weather.

• Flexibility. A raised bed is limited only by your imagination, likes and dislikes, and ambition. The options are endless: You can use just about any material to form your walls, from cement block or brick to pressure-treated lumber, stone or even plastic. After you’ve put up the sides, add

some gravel to the bottom to ensure that it will drain well, lay the soil --preferably a potting mix with peat -- then water the bed thoroughly and let it settle for a few days before you begin planting. Before you know it, you’ll have a versatile, vibrant and one-of-a-kind garden, custom-designed down to the last detail.

• Less compaction. In a conventional garden,

Raised Beds Offer Alternative To Traditional Gardens

footprints and heavy machinery often compact the soil, making it difficult for air and water to reach a plant’s roots. A raised bed avoids those problems. Since you’ll be able to do all of your gardening from outside its walls, you’ll avoid tramping on the soil.

• Higher yields. One study found that the average raised bed garden could yield twice as many vegetables and flowers as a traditional one. Since a raised bed can be tended without actually stepping into the bed, you don’t have to leave walking paths between the rows. That means you’ll have more room for more plants.

• More control. Poor terrain, a forest of weeds, or thin topsoil? Who cares?

A raised bed lets you start from scratch and not have to rely on whatever Mother Nature dealt your yard. Most important, a raised bed lets you control the condition of the soil. A potting mix that contains peat moss is an ideal growing medium for raised beds. It helps regulate the pH, strengthens plants to protect against weeds and pests, and releases moisture and nutrients over time.

Shade Trees That Can Make Yards More Comfortable

Various factors motivate the decisions homeowners make when designing their landscapes. Some may be motivated by the ways additions will affect the resale value of their homes, while others may be guided by a love for a particular type of plant. Comfort is yet another motivator, and shade trees can make yards more comfortable as the mercury rises. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, the following are some popular shade trees that can add beauty to a landscape and make it more comfortable come the dog days of summer.

• Quaking aspen: The quaking aspen has the widest natural range of any tree in North America, spanning 47 degrees of latitude, 110 degrees of longitude (nine time zones) and elevations from sea level to timberline. That impressive range is no doubt why the United States Forest Service notes that the quaking aspen can grow in greatly diverse

regions,

• Northern catalpa: The Arbor Day Foundation notes that the northern catalpa is easily identifiable thanks to its heart-shaped leaves and twisting trunks and branches. Nature enthusiasts, and particularly those who enjoy birdwatching, may be happy to learn that the flowers of the catalpa are frequently visited by hummingbirds.

• Red sunset maple: Its name alone makes many people think of lazy summer days spent lounging in the yard. The red sunset maple provides ample shade and comes with the added benefit of producing an awe-inspiring blend of red and orange leaves come the fall. Red sunset maples can survive in a range of habitats and their adaptable roots means they can thrive in various soil types.

• Northern red oak: The state tree of New Jersey, the northern red oak is, according to the Arbor Day Foundation, both beloved for its aesthetic appeal and valued for its adaptability and usefulness. Northern red oaks can tolerate urban conditions, but they do not do well in hot climates.

• Sawtooth oak: Another tree that produces some awe-inspiring color, the sawtooth oak is a durable, adaptable shade tree. Golden yellow leaves in the spring will give way to dark green in summer, only to turn yellow and golden brown in the fall. The Tree Center Plant Supply Co. notes that the sawtooth oak can thrive in warmer climates where shade trees that can coexist with high temperatures can be hard to find.

Create A Wildflower Oasis At Home

Have you ever caught sight of a patch of wildflowers growing along the side of a road? Lovely, wasn’t it? Have you thought about creating your own wildflower patch? Wildflower gardens are like any other garden. They take time to plant and cultivate into the mass of loveliness spotted roadside, but once they take off, you will have a lovely garden for years to come.

While wildflowers are hardy and tend to grow without assistance, they do take some work to start. It is not enough to drop some seeds onto the ground like Mother Nature does roadside. You need a site with partial to full sun, and you need to prep the site accordingly. So, grab your garden tools and prepare to clear the area.

How you go about clearing the site will depend on the size of it. If it is a small area, you may be able to dig out the weeds by hand. If it is a rather large area, you may want to mow it and cover it with plastic for a couple of months to smother the weeds or apply an herbicide to kill the weeds more quickly. When the area is cleared, you will need to till it and apply some herbicide spray. This will remove any weeds remaining. Then you can rake and level the soil.

Now you are ready to plant the seeds. Choose species native to your area. Wildflower seeds can be tiny, so mix yours with sand to make them easier to plant. Scatter the mix evenly across the site and rake it in lightly. Then water the area thoroughly and cover it with straw to keep the birds away.

With regular watering, the seeds should germinate in 10 to 21 days and bloom in five to six weeks. To help fill in the garden and keep weeds at bay, you may want to plant some grasses. Hardy fescues, such as Kentucky 31 tall fescue grass, work well in wildflower gardens.

In the beginning, you will need to weed and water your wildflower garden regularly, reseed it periodically and mow it down each fall. Once the flowers get established, there will be very little maintenance to keep your oasis intact. Add some benches, weed now and then, and enjoy.

When To Bring In A Professional Organizer

Skilled professional organizers have a unique talent and the expertise to create solutions for cluttered spaces and other overcrowded areas in a home. Although some may view hiring a professional to help them sort through their stuff as a luxury, in many instances relying on an organizer can be money well spent. A pro is specially equipped to set up areas that function smoothly and efficiently, which increases the chances spaces will remain organized after the initial job is done. The following are some reasons why a professional organizer might be warranted.

• Difficulty finding time: Procrastination is a major component behind why people do not get ahead of clutter. It’s easy to shrug off the job in favor of other tasks.

• Feeling overwhelmed: Many people admit that the idea of tackling organizational jobs puts them in a tailspin. Individuals who feel that organization has gotten away from them to the point that the job seems impossible can benefit from hiring an organizer.

• Moving into a new space: New homeowners, renters or office workers moving into new spaces may want to start out on more organized footing. A professional organizer can help to lay a more tidy foundation.

• Never achieved organizing goals: Many people try to get their spaces in order, but fall flat time and again. For those whose spaces have never quite been organized the way they have wanted, a professional organizer can provide the tips and tricks that work.

• One space is problematic: Some people master organizing, but still have one room or area they cannot conquer. The right pro can help tame even the most out-of-control area.

Andrew Ebersol, Owner

Move over God; now there are two of us.

Author: Wenger Scripture: Job 40:8“Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?”

Job 10:7 - “Though You know that I am not guilty, and there is no deliverance from your hand?”

Job’s livelihood was taken, all of his livestock. All of his family was taken with the exception of his wife. In less than 30 seconds, his

entire life was destroyed. If you read the narrative as its stated and read only what the servants said, it took about 23 seconds. Most likely it only took 10 seconds because it says, “While he was speaking another servant came” with more bad news. Yet, in all of this, Job did not curse God as the Devil said he would. Since that plan didn’t work, now the Devil says, “Touch his bone and his flesh and he will curse You to Your face” Job 2:5). God allowed this but said, “Spare his life.”

So the Devil smote Job with boils from his head to the sole of his foot. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it does. Job did not know how this would end. As far as he is concerned, this may in fact be the end of his earthly life. God may not heal and restore, there were no guarantees. The Bible says that God restored all that Job had lost and twice as much as before. God delivered Job out of all of his affliction. God doesn’t always deliver and restore. How do we respond when God doesn’t deliver us?

If you watch much religious TV, and I use that

term loosely, you will find what’s called the prosperity gospel being preached. Of course there is always a plea for money. They teach that it’s God’s will for everyone to be healed and that money will flow from heaven when you give to their ministry. Of course when someone doesn’t get healed, the pat answer is that they didn’t have faith. Well, sorry to say, it’s not God’s will for everyone to be healed and to be rich. It is God’s will for everyone to be sanctified; it is God’s will for everyone to glorify God. What was Job’s initial response when everything was gone? “Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshiped.” And he then said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Instead of cursing God, Job praised and worshiped.

What about all the dear saints that never received healing yet they glorified God in their affliction; such as Fanny Crosby, who wrote 9,000 hymns though

blind from a young age? Paul too, had a thorn in the flesh that was never healed, even though he sought the Lord three times. The Psalmist said, “Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I keep your word.” Affliction, sickness, trials and tests drive us back to the sovereignty of God; these are His choices. Our purpose is to glorify God in whatever He assigns us It’s not about our personal peace and happiness. “Does the clay say to the potter why have you made me so? (Isaiah 45:9).

Job, even though he was distraught at what God allowed to flow into his life, was a wonderful example for us. He acknowledged God’s sovereignty; “Shall we accept only good from God and not adversity?” He demonstrated his faith; “Though He slay me yet will I trust Him”(Job 2:10). He practiced obedience; “In all this, Job did not sin with his lips” (Job 2:10). Our purpose is to do the same in trial, affliction and suffering. No need to say, “Move over God; now there are two of us.”

Furniture Shopping On A Budget

The finishing touch to home-improvement projects is adding furniture. You may have the most intricately painted room on the street, but your look won’t be complete without adding furniture to finish off the space. However, after the endless trips you made to the local home-supply center to complete your project, do you have any money left to furnish the space? Most people answer, “no.”

Don’t despair. You don’t need a designer’s wallet to score beautiful furniture. All you need is a little ingenuity and some time to search for bargains. If you’re handy, that is an added bonus, and it will make narrowing your choices even easier. Here are some ways to decorate on a budget:

• Outlet and Clearance Bargains - Head to your neighborhood warehouse store for well-priced items that are within reach for those with tight budgets. Or check out department store clearance centers, where discontinued or outdated furniture is reduced.

purchases if you fall in love with something.

• Consignment ShopsThese stores as well as thrift stores often have wonderful treasures, if you have the time to sort through their inventory. Remember, since items move in and out of these stores frequently, be ready to make quick

• Scour the Neighborhood - Many people make it a hobby of searching for furnishings in their neighborhood on garbage pick-up day. As they say, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” Don’t forget yard sales or moving sales for other low-price sources of furnishings.

• Slightly Irregular Department - Some furniture stores

have areas where they keep furniture that has slight imperfections such as scratches or dents. If you can live with the blemishes, you may be able to haggle a reasonable price on normally expensive finds.

• Consult Friends & Family

- Have you had your eye on Aunt Jane’s chaise lounge or think that your friend’s armoire would look beautiful at home? Don’t be afraid to ask loved ones if they have furniture they can part with.

• Revamp Your Furnishings - If you’re unhappy with the budget-friendly finds out there, consider reupholstering or improving your current furniture. A new slipcover or coat of paint can do wonders.

• Model Home Mania - If there is a surge of home building happening in your area, check with the developer’s sales office to see if they will be selling the furnishings when the models are closed to the public.

The Four-Way Test is a series of questions that Rotarians use to conduct their personal and professional lives. It asks the following four questions of the things we think, say and do: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better

friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
