Genesis 1:1

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (New International Version)

I attended the first BSF class of 2006 on Valentine's Day (I was rather glad when they announced the date last year coz it meant I would have an interesting VDay even without a flower bouquet, chocolates, soft-toy in the shape of a pup or cosy candlelight dinner). We are studying the book of Genesis this year and I am excited. Having been a Christian since I was 8, I've read the 1st verse of the 1st chapter of the 1st book in the Bible many times. As I was going through the lesson notes for the week, one of the questions asked about this verse was "Do you believe that it's true?"

I must admit I have taken for granted, in some sense, that everything I read in the Bible is true and I don't really question what I read (well, except during bible studies, heh). But here I am faced with this question. Do I believe that "First this: God created the Heavens and Earth--all you see, all you don't see" (The Message) ? If I don't, there's really no point in reading verse 2, or the rest of the Bible for that matter.

If I don't believe, what answer do I have for the origins of multicoloured rainbows, awesome waterfalls, trees that produces delicious thirst quenching fruits, beautiful sparkling little lights in the midnight sky, adorable furry little doggies...the people whom I share hugs, laughter and tears?

But I do believe. I believe there's a Creator and He is God. I believe He made ALL things for a purpose, yes, even you and I...and that little ant making its way across the table. Knowing this gives me hope. That Someone had me in mind before I came to being. That I can trust this Giver of Life, with my life. For He is good and He will see me through ALL seasons of my life.

Was at EJ & Mel's for bbq last Sat nite. Apart from chicken wings, fish and sausages from the grill, Mel also prepared pasta, mashed potatoes and salad with bak-gua bits(!!) I guess she didn't know what else to do with a small slice of bak-gua leftover from CNY, hehe.

Chicken wings & fish wrapped in banana leaf on the grill. Hmm, where's the fire??

whoah, now we're smokin'!

My friend's daughter looking at her mummy enjoying chicken wing but she can't have any. Aww...poor thing

ah well, she's contented with her drink and sausages

Crikey!!!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the virtual cake cousin K posted for me was the exact cake I had for my birthday. Now what are the chances of that happening?!?
