Finished with new bed!

Our bed doesn't quite look exactly like the original Prealpi bed, but at least I saved a lot of money! ;)

Anyway, besides finishing up our bed... today's sermon by Pastor Jim was interesting. He used a battery's positive and negative charge to demonstrate 'potential'... saying that positive alone or negative alone won't do any good. Only when both are combined than you can unlock a battery's 'potential' to light up something. Just like life. God uses both good things and the bad things in order to unlock the potential in all of us in order to be better human beings. A life that's all good or all bad would probably be pretty worthless and boring... so yeah, may God uses both positive and negative things to unlock my full potential as well! To build something more than just a bed! ;)

Oh, also one more interesting milestone is that Boeing 787 is finally delivered to its very first customer! Yeah!!! :D

Princess?

Princess Picture

Mom kept on referring our new baby as a 'princess' upon finding out that we're having a baby girl...

Hmm..., just wondering which princess does she look like! Ariel? Belle? Cinderella? Sleeping Beauty? Jasmine?

I think she kinda looks like the Sleeping Beauty? ;)

Oh, and coming up with a name for her isn't very easy also...

So far we've narrowed down to Mabel(meaning love) or Misha(Meaning Who is like God?) Mom seems to like Mabel, but baby seems to prefer Misha because she'd actually kick around more whenever we call her that. Or perhaps she simply was agreeing with us that there's none like God? ;)

We've also recently purchased pretty much most of the baby stuffs that we need... and our house is really too small to fit all that stuff! Good thing we're only having one baby! ;)

Besides all the baby stuffs happening..., I've also been trying to build a bed for wife... we've been sleeping only on mattress before, figure that's good enough..., but now that she's pregnant, it's getting harder and harder for her to get up. So yeah, a bed is necessary now! So I've been trying to build a bed that looks like this:





Of course the finishing product probably won't end up looking exactly like that! ;) I'll post some pics of the actual DIY bed when I'm totally done. So far, at least I have something that can help wife get up to pee more easily at night! :D

Oh, and last but not least, I've recently discovered some books by a Jewish scientist/theologian who was actually able to reconcile the creation story with modern science. Yes, using biblical principles and modern scientific discoveries, he has discovered that our universe could very well be created in six (24hr) days AND being around 15billion years old at the same time depending on how you look at the universe... Another interesting paradoxical duality that's fascinating to me. Haven't finished reading all his books yet, but will also post some thoughts afterward.

Anyway, things just have been super busy for the past couple of months. Busy with work... and then over the weekend, it felt like one social event after another with friends or family members... and all the baby stuffs... Oh well. Better just get used to it because things probably won't get easier once baby princess arrives! ;)

I suppose one thing we need to be careful of is that we better not end up too much like Martha..., being too busy with many of the chores in life and forgetting what's really important? Also was recently talking with wife about having a good marriage on earth is difficult just like the narrow gate into heaven. Where as failed marriages have a wide gate! Most people do want to have a good marriage or enter heaven..., but often times most folks end up divorced or do not have a happy marriage... This happens most often because people have lost sight of what's really important and begin to see self as more and more important.

May God help us to not to get too drown out by things of this world and lose sight of what is truly important(Himself)..., and may God help us to not get too fat!!! ;) Yeah, for some reason I've been gaining weight as if I am pregnant.
