Happy Chinese Father's Day 父親節快樂!

2010年華人的父親節(8/8)與情人節(8/16)相距約一週.父親節前一天很開心與友人全家相聚,友人將二伯的小孩也一起帶來同樂!

沒結婚前常會一起玩嘗試新鮮事物,婚後多年養兒育女雖然責任變重了,卻仍然可以找機會開心地像小孩般童心同心地玩,放下重擔製造全家共同的歡樂時光.

以下的影片是友人在我鼓勵下夫婦一起與親子同樂的珍貴鏡頭.最左邊是友人的大女兒,最右邊是小兒子加龍.您瞧!這豈不是難忘快樂的父親節與情人節回憶嗎?!

影片一您一定看不清楚友人小兒子加龍投球的英姿和專注投入的表情,現在特別為您再特寫播放一次.您瞧!這是不是很棒的父親節與情人節的獻禮?!

友人的小兒子加龍,以及他投藍所得的分數.

現在再從右側看一次孩子觀看夫妻同心投藍,以及父子同樂一起玩遊戲的有趣畫面!

Happy Mother's Day Song 祝福母親的歌

Chinese Version: A song describes mother's love is like the moon and stars

Lyrics:
母親像月亮一樣，照耀我家門窗，
聖潔多慈祥，發出愛的光芒。
為了兒女著想，不怕烏雲阻擋，
賜給我溫情，鼓勵我向上。
母親啊！我愛您，我愛您，您真偉大。

母親像星星一樣，照耀我家門窗，
聖潔多慈祥，發出愛的光芒。
不辭艱難困苦，給我指引迷惘，
親情深如海，此恩何能忘。
母親啊！我愛您，我愛您，您真偉大。

Lyrics :
My sweet baby on loan from above
no better treasure could I more love
I stand here beside your bed as I pray
I lay my hand on your head and I say:
May you grow up to serve Him
all of your days
May He lead you and guide you
in all of your ways
May He bless your future with
friendships that last
May you cherish your youth
and not grow up too fast

I stare in wonder at your tiny frame
Just to think God knows you by name
He knows every hair on your head
He knows your thoughts before they are said

May you grow up to serve Him
all of your days
May He lead you and guide you
in all of your ways
May He bless your future with
friendships that last
May you cherish your youth
and not grow up too fast

May God grant you peace
in the midst of a storm
May God give you strength even
when youre forlorn
May you answer the door when
Jesus comes knocking
May wisdom guide when
your mouth is talkin

May discretion protect you
and keep you pure
May you never stumble
or fall for a lure
May your heart remain humble
to the very end
May uprightness and truth
be what you defend

May the world not ensnare
or change who you are
May the light that's within you
shine like the stars
May angels surround you
body, spirit, mind
May favor and peace be yours to find

May rejection and pain
never reach you
May your spirit grow bold
for what youre called to
May you grow up to serve Him
all of your days
May He lead you and guide you
in all of your ways
May He bless your future with
friendships that last
May you cherish your youth
and not grow up too fast

As you rest in Gods care I will rest too
Knowing that Jesus is watching over you
Amen
I love you, Mommy...

Great Is Thy Faithfulness 祢信實何廣大

DEADLY EARTHQUAKE IN CHINA!! 地震襲青海

At least 400 people have died after an earthquake measuring almost 7 on the richter scale hit China's western Qinghai province. Officials say thousands of others may have been wounded and many buildings including schools have been destroyed. Rescue efforts are being hindered by landslides and debris blocking the roads. Aid workers say the death toll is likely to rise though survivors have been pulled from the rubble.

Where Do the Children Play? 小孩在哪裡玩耍?

Lyrics:
Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.
Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
But will you keep on building higher
'Til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

He Is Alive 主活著

Lyrics 歌詞:
The gates and doors were barred   And all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness   And rose at every sound
Half in hope of sorrow   And half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin' through To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle And a voice began to call
I hurried to the window   Looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches   And the sound of soldiers' feet
But there was no one there but Mary   So I went down to let her in
John stood there beside me   As she told me where she'd been
She said they've moved Him in the night   And none of us know where
The stone's been rolled away And now His body isn't there
We both ran towards the garden   Then John ran on ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb Just the way that Mary said
But the winding sheet they wrapped Him in   Was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken Him   Was more than I could tell
Oh something strange had happened there Just what I did not know
John believed a miracle   But I just turned to go
Circumstance and speculation   Couldn't lift me very high
'Cause I'd seen them crucify Him   Then I saw Him die
Back inside the house again   The guilt and anguish came
Everything I'd promised Him Just added to my shame
When at last it came to choices   I denied I knew His name
And even if He was alive   It wouldn't be the same
But suddenly the air was filled   With a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere   Drove shadows from the room
And Jesus stood before me   With His arms held open wide
And I fell down on my knees   And I just clung to Him and cried
Then He raised me to my feet   And as I looked into His eyes
The love was shining out from Him   Like sunlight from the skies
Guilt in my confusion   Disappeared in sweet release
And every fear I ever had   Just melted into peace
He's alive yes He's alive   Yes He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide   He's alive yes He's alive
Oh He's alive and I'm forgiven   Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive He's alive   Hallelujah He's alive   He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide   He's alive He's alive He's alive
I believe it He's alive   Sweet Jesus

Morning Has Broken 破曉

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the world

He Has Risen! 基督耶穌已經復活了!

Don't Worry 不要憂慮

Technology indeed influences people's lifestyle and the way of communication in modern life deeply. Therefore, I spent time to explore the Farm Ville these two days. It seems it is the world of grandparents, granddaughters and grandsons, including some housewives and fewer computer professional.

這幾天花了些時間探索流行已久的開心農場,我發現我並不是很稱職的農夫.這個虛擬的英語世界的FarmVille並不如我所預期的容易管理與經營,無師自通很花時間.倒是幾位國內位的朋友都將自己的開心農場佈置得井然有序,開發得生氣恙然.相對來說,我好像與這個虛擬社交世界還保持著若干的防衛與距離.
總之,對我來說這農場費時費力對外行人來說並不那麼開心.先前朋友送的農場各項動物及五花八門的禮物都沒派上用場,因為太久不知如何使用都過期失效.最後還是請教外國朋友才知禮物要打開專屬的禮物櫃才能決定如何使用,是要販售或是置於農場.

後來我發現這臉書公司已開發了一系列的社交工具,包括寵物世界,咖啡世界,水族魚世界等等,每一個世界都分各種等級. 另有一共通設計就是有各樣免費禮物贈送,目的是讓人邀請更多朋友加入使用. 其次也類似,就是需要邀請朋友成為該世界的鄰居或經常拜訪朋友的農場或店面就能獲得獎賞.
我仍在研究這網路工具,了解它能讓基督徒與非基督徒都參與的原因.如何善用這吸引和聯繫全世界各族群的網路虛擬社交工具及族群互動模式的特色呢?若有進一步發現再與各位分享.

Cleanse Me 潔淨我

Search me, O God,
And know my heart today;
Try me, O Savior,
Know my thoughts, I pray.
See if there be
Some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin
And set me free.

I praise Thee, Lord,
For cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy Word,
And make me pure within.
Fill me with fire
Where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire
To magnify Thy Name.

Lord, take my life,
And make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart
With Thy great love divine.
Take all my will,
My passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord
In me abide.

O Holy Ghost,
Revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival,
Start the work in me.
Thy Word declares
Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now,
O Lord, I humbly plead.

Chinese Version

潔淨我 (Cleanse Me) 1. 懇求救主，來鑑察我心思，求主今試驗，知道我私意。若在我心，隱藏罪惡念頭，洗去諸般不義，使我自由。 2. 讚美救主，因將我罪洗清，願主的真道，使我心潔淨。求主以火，焚盡以往羞情，我今所求所望，榮耀主名。 3. 懇求我主，使我完全歸你，貧窮的心地，充滿你愛意。管理我心，不再自私驕傲，今願完全聽命，求主引導。懇求聖靈，賜下廣大復興，先復興我心，燃起火熱情；倚靠聖言主供給我需要，求主今賜福氣是我祈禱。

So our faces display Your likeness,
Ecer changing from glory to glory,
Mirrowed here may our lives tell Your
story.
Shine on me, shine on me.

This Too Shall Pass 這一切都要過去

這世界和其上的情慾都要過去，惟獨遵行神旨意的，是永遠常存。(約一書2:17)
The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.(1 John 2:17)
