Swimming in Weiden

Here's the scoop on swimming this Saturday:

We will meet at 1300 at the pool and you can stay as long as you want. Waterslides for the kids and much fun to be had. And my handy-dandy computer translator told me their web-site says the following:

"For children the Weidener Thermenwelt is a true paradise! Gigantic water children's slide, Plantschbecken and white-water canal are only some of the highlights which must try out intrepid three cheese highs absolutely. The quite small dwarfs go it with mummy and daddy of course a little more quietly in. Indeed become the small water rats be from our toddler washbasin (33 °C) with play of water garden only more very much hard herauszulocken!"

So come be "small water rats" with us and have a lot of fun!

House Happenings...

We had a great with about 30 people on Saturday at Pottenstein. The weather was a little cold at first but once the fog burned off it was a gorgeous day. We hiked up to the castle and ate lunch while looking around the grounds. Then 1/2 of us took a hike through the countryside to the rodelbahn (alpine slide) while the rest hiked down and drove. The slides were very fast and fun! A few of us did the cave tour but most of us will have to do it again another time! Pictures will come shortly.

This Saturday (25th) we will be going to the indoor pool in Weiden. We will meet there at 1300. Check back on here mid-week to get directions and details on cost. See you there!

Financial Disarray

Good words to consider in these times of financial disarray...
Matthew 6:19-33

MT 6:19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

MT 6:22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

MT 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

MT 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

MT 6:28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Pottenstein--Little Swiss!

We will be going to Pottenstein next Saturday (Oct. 18th) to enjoy all the leaves changing color. This is a great little town with lots to do (castle with museum, cave with 1-hour guided tours, alpine slide down the hills, and lots of hiking). It should be beautiful next weekend with the leaves changing so bring a lunch or some money to buy lunch. We can hike to the castle or you can park near it if you don't want to hike. The museum is 4.50 Euros for adults and 2.50 Euros for kids. The alpine slide is 2.00 Euros per ride.

So meet us on Saturday at 1000 in the parking lot at the Graf Chapel (we will be in the dark blue 9-passenger VW van--its pretty hard to miss us!). We will caravan from there as it is about a 45 minute drive. Here is an English website I found about Pottenstein.

Call with questions or email (Cell: 0151 5467 8686 or briankleager@yahoo.com)

We hope to see you there!
