Our daughter Aliza was born! Praise God! What an amazing experience it was for me. On Sunday, January 17th, and 6:51am, when her little body was birthed and I heard her first cry, I was amazed and in awe of this miracle! Formed from a few tiny cells, now 9 months later in my arms as a little person. Wow! Watching her movements, her facial expressions, hearing her sounds, and everything else about her is an extraordinary experience. Now, it is 11 days after her birth, and she is growing fast. As far as parenting, it is a big initial adjustment to your routine. Aliza has slept through her first full night yesterday, and we are grateful. She now usually will not cry when her diaper is changed. I noticed that she wants to start and tries holding her bottle. I am excited to continue learning about her and to watch her grow.

How to study the Bible Brief history Canon of the Old Testament was settled 70 years before Jesus Christ birth as man. /lot of details here. Ill insert a link to an mp3 of the study. / Tips: Don't do: Don't pull verses out at random. Don't read verses out of context. Don't start at Genesis. In opinion, start at a Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. If you want to start a prophetic book, read Jeremiah. Don't let Chapters fool you, because a thought may flow from chapter to chapter. Don't use Bibles with headings for chapters. They are merely there for copyrightability of the text. To Do: Pray before you read Read whole books at a time. Read letters in whole once, without understanding most, then go and reread. Don't try to look for hidden meanings. Look for the plain sense of the text. New King James version is good translation. Good concordance. Can help teach meanings of words. Good interlinear Bible, with Greek and Hebrew texts side by side. Vines Expositary

A few months ago, I had a vision of December 28, 7:40PM to 7:48PM (2009). I believed that this was the time our first child will be born. When the time was nearing to a few hours away, we were thinking that the labor will be quick, since it has not begun. The labor did not start anytime before, though. It started exactly at 7:48PM. Jessica had contractions, and they lasted for 2 hours. Then they stopped. As of today, the baby has not been born yet, but the experience of this vision was awesome.
