It’s been awhile since I’ve updated the blog. It’s easy to let time slip away.
I’ve been settling in to my new job as worship pastor at Allen Memorial. I’m really enjoying it. The band is awesome. Not only are they good musicians, but they’re good people. The pastor and staff are incredible. Allen is a church that is intentional about discipleship!!
Things at home are going well. My son Jonah just turned 7. Alaina and Alexandra are becoming little ladies. Michelle is busy obsessing about chicken coups and yard work. My wife is really wanting a chicken coup. She wants to be able to get fresh eggs. I thinks it’s a pretty cool idea, but I’m not very “handy” when it comes to building things. We’ll see.

I have a friend in Virginia who has a chicken coop. She obsesses about her chickens ! You can check her blog out here:

Hey Shirley! Look – I’m following you around the internet
Corey, we didn’t know what we were doing when we built our coop either. But I do have pictures of how we built it at http://www.backtobasicliving.com/chickencoopdeville.html My only regret was that we did not insulate it while building it. We went back and did it later and it was a pain! It would have been MUCH easier during the construction phase….
Check out http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=9 LOTS of great ideas, pictures, and instructions for building coops there. The whole website is just an awesome place – but that particular forum focuses on chicken coop/run designs and Q&A.
Best of luck! And I hope you get your chickens – I personally think every yard should have a few
