Getting rid of extra stuff on Amazon

I (Nathan) had no idea how easy it is to get rid of stuff on Amazon. We recently are on a mission to simplify as we get ready for the baby, whose 150 beats/minute heartbeat we heard yesterday! We have extra books, or books that we haven't used (nor plan to), and DVD box sets that we've already watched. It's a blessing to get rid of these and to make a little change at the same time. We've found that it is much better to simplify than to complexify.

It is Super Cold!

The following weather update is a reading from 10 am this morning. When we left our apartment, it was even colder. The news was reporting -17 degrees.

This is by far the coldest weather that either of us has ever experienced. It is the coldest in Chicago in the last 15 or so years.

Nathan's Sermon

Over the past few months, Nathan has been able to preach a sermon on missions and missions involvement at serveral chruches in the Chicago area. Last Sunday, he preached the sermon at our church, Chinese Christian Union Church - North. To listen to the sermon, click the following link and choose the "Why Missions" sermon on January 11th.

We love Wii

For Christmas this year, we got a Wii system, and a Wii Fit. While we enjoy the workout that Wii Fit gives us, the Wii Sports games provide us with pretty aggressive competition. We are about even inthe bowling game, but to this date, Tina has never beaten Nathan in a tennis match. Guess who wrote this post :)
