Just finished setting up the framework for some P&W, choir, training stuff…organizing my folder and listing down what needs to be done first quarter of the year. Off to Highschool/college Bible Study at Barnes and Nobles. Topic: God Sanctioned Perze and I are still sick, but blessings come in, blessings go out ;-).

I went to my fourth OB appointment today. Em is so used to the visits, and even anticipates them with some pleasure because the nurses allow her to assist them. Fat Mess: So I have 3.5 months left and so far I have gained 10-11 lbs. I’m hoping that my last 3 months, I’ll stick to gaining 12 lbs which will help me reach my goal of taking in 20-25 lbs. this pregnancy. Thankfully, I don’t waddle yet, no back pains, but it’s getting harder to sleep (as anticipated). Tests: My doctor was happily smiling at me today, seeing that I finally look very pregnant. Today was also my last blood test, so I was relieved to know that so far, no complications. The baby, from all the ultrasounds is growing normally with the measurements appropriately where they should be. In Case of Emergency: I’m also VERY happy to know that the hospital is only minutes away, unlike my first pregnancy when the distance took us about 25 mins. travel. I remember being so uncomfortable during my contractions, and thankfully, there were no emergencies, or else I would have had to give birth in a closer facility. Being into my […]
I just wanted to post this before February comes along. Everyone knows how momentous President Obama’s inauguration was Jan. 20 because despite what political party you belonged to, America has broken through racial boundaries and have elected their first African American president. As much as people shouldn’t have voted due to race or color, it was still historical and emotional. Due to this, Perze and I felt that it was important to let Emma have a simple experience of watching history manifest by exposing her to the inauguration. I asked her if she knew who he was, and true enough, from all the coverage of the presidential debates last year, she correctly responded, “Obama” and that he was our new “president.” During the televised event, she kept asking toddler-like questions deduced by her observations, like “who’s that?” (pointing to his family, mainly his daughters), or “are they making him sad?” (referring to the musical quartet), etc…I think she’ll just appreciate this video years and years down the road- maybe even use it for show and tell :-). It’s been a week so far into his presidency, and numerous news and critiques already surround the president’s choices. Even I, myself, don’t […]
Like a typical hot-blooded estrogen carrying female, the idea of bling and jewelry for Valentine’s seems ticklish. But if you’re married to a tech-nerd, chances are, he’ll get you an iPhone, digital camera to encourage your photography hobby, a laptop, or some other handy gadget that really gets who you are practically. So this year, with the budget a little tightened, here’s a great gift for the songwriters (*wink*), for the audiobloggers, the archiving addicts, and speakers: Snowball Profession USB Microphone:Includes: Mackie Tracktion 3 Recording Software & Koss UR40 Headphones I haven’t tried it “yet” (*wink*), but it got great reviews. Here’s a blog where I was introduced: http://blog.worshiptogether.com/worshiptogether/2008/11/gear-corner-the.html It’s even a great professional tool for those in working in the media or music ministry, for easy digital recording. The price is one of the best things! $99, that you can purchase at Costco.
Training music theory is one thing. Training music for the worship ministry is another.
I was online searching for some good resources for the music and youth ministry for our church and stumbled upon a good flash video for those who want to start a journey towards seeking God. If that is you, if you’re curious, if you’ve got the itch and feel the subtle push to say no to the Jesus in the media and yes to really just seeking for yourself, here’s a good link: www.theseeksite.com
