Jacob Cell Group 在圣诞

Dear brothers and sisters,

 

I am really proud of Jacob Cell Group's excellent performance in last night's Christmas celebration. We pray that the Christmas skit "爱在圣诞" we played, will bring out the real meaning of Christmas. You guys are an exception actors and actresses!!!

 

Also special thanks to Doreen for last minutes script writing to replace the heated argument between the husband and wife. (For those who miss the play, please find the story below...)

 

We will not have regular Friday meeting on this coming Friday, instead, we will have a hot pot dinner at our home on the Christmas Day. Please come and join us. In this time of the year, this is really our "Family Get Together" time to sharing our love and caring in this loving small family of Christ.

 

You are invited to our home on the Christmas Day for the dinner! Please come at 5pm, and the dinner will start at 6pm. Doreen will also prepare a special dessert for the night. If you have anything you wish to eat, this is the only day you can actually make your request... .

 

Love in Christ,

Jianguang (Kian)

 

p/s:

 

Full scritps can be found in below link. Unexpectedly in the finaly week, we found out in the last minute that some of our scripts are more or less the same as the Luke CG as we got it from the same source. Doreen volunteered to write a new script to avoid the conflict ...see below...(Doreen transformed the real life to a play...)  With the extraordinary acting skill from Robert and Maggie, they successfully transformed the play back to real life... and really gave the audience of sense of similarity in their lives... (that was crucial in the play so that we can bring out the message that everyone of us actually needs Jesus in our lives.)

夫：哎，这两个孩子太烦了。。有了礼物还不高兴。。真不像样。。

妻：他们还小嘛。。过了就没事了。。明天再给他们买过。。

夫：你看，你看，就是你把他们给惯坏的。。再这样下去，他们越来越不像话，我可不理。。

妻：你还敢说，你什么时候理过他们。。。每天还不是我一个人来照顾这个家。。还要给你们做饭，收拾房子，还得看着小孩的功课。。你知道我有多辛苦吗？

夫：你这是什么意思，难道我就不辛苦吗？每天工作已经很累，回来还要听你唠唠叨叨的，我也很累呢。。

妻：你累什么累，回来就做在客厅看电视，吃完饭也不帮忙，跟孩子也没聊几句，就只会上网和睡觉。。

夫：老婆，你这样说就不对了，你老公我要赚钱养家，比你还要辛苦呢，每天上班，东西多得都做不完，还得看老板脸色。。烦都烦死了。。回到家就求你饶了我，让我好好休息吧。。

妻：那我呢，我就不用休息，是吧。。你就可以回来做你的大老爷。。我就继续的当黄脸婆，太不公平了。。不跟你说了，气死我了，每次都是这样。。   哦，还有明天是boxing day，你一早就把我送到bayshore，我要给儿子再买个电子词典，免得他们俩还会再抢。。顺便看看有什么便宜的东西可以买。。

夫：什么，你还要去逛街，还要买。。。你知不知道钱不好赚呀，现在经济那么差，你就不会为家里省点钱吗，整天就只会花钱。。

妻：你说我不会省钱，你知不知道家里的东西，我都是减价的时候才买的。。。那像你，动不动就花大钱买大电视，新电脑。。是谁爱花钱啊。。还敢说我。。真气人。。我不理你啦。。。（生气，转身背着丈夫）

Jesus is Better than Santa

Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl,
What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows
our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many
hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds
mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas
2008
And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year. 2009

树上有十只鸟，开枪打死一只，还剩几只？"

某日，老师在课堂上想看看一学生智商有没有问题，问他
"树上有十只鸟，开枪打死一只，还剩几只？"
他反问"是无声手枪或别的无声的枪吗？"
"不是。"
"枪声有多大？"
"80-100分贝。"
"那就是说会震的耳朵疼？"
"是。"
"在这个城市里打鸟犯不犯法？"
"不犯。"
"您确定那只鸟真的被打死啦？"
"确定。"偶已经不耐烦了"拜托，你告诉我还剩几只就行了，OK"
"OK，树上的鸟里有没有聋子？"
"没有。"
"有没有关在笼子里的？"
"没有。"
"边上还有没有其他的树，树上还有没有其他鸟？"
"没有。"
"有没有残疾的或饿的飞不动的鸟？"
"没有。"
"算不算怀孕肚子里的小鸟？"
"不算。"
"打鸟的人眼有没有花？保证是十只？"
"没有花，就十只。"
偶已经满脑门是汗，且下课铃响，
但他继续问"有没有傻的不怕死的？"
"都怕死。"
"会不会一枪打死两只？"
"不会。
"所有的鸟都可以自由活动吗？"
"完全可以。"
"如果您的回答没有骗人，"学生满怀信心的说，"打死的鸟要是挂在树上没掉下来，那么就剩一只，如果掉下来，就一只不剩。"老师当即晕倒！

Carly Fiorina

Carly Fiorina was a CEO of Hewlett Packard. Early this year she got fired from the job and the media and negative thinkers have adequately publicized her firing. But it is also good to know about the inspirational journey of Carly, a graduate in History who started as a receptionist, to rise to the top of world's top technology company with $80 Billion in sales.

Gratitude

Brothers (and sis in law),

 

Life is a gift. God is for us. That we are alive today to enjoy our lives with gratitude!

 

Love,

kk

 

Book: Building the Christian Family You Never Had

 

Gratitude is recognizing God is good. One dictionary defines gratitude as "a warm feeling one has toward a benefactor" - a beautiful definition consider God gives us good gifts, when he showers us with grace and peace and joy, kindness is awakened in us. Gratitude has many synonyms: appreciation, thankfulness and gratefulness.

 

 

I am blind, please help

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

 Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

STATIC PICTURE

A teacher says, "I feel that the picture is moving slowly like someone breathing!"

 

This static picture is used to measure and know about your level of stress which you can handle.  The slower the picture moves, the better chance of  your capability to face your stress.

 

A critically stressed up person will say that this picture is roving rapidly.

 

An elderly person and a child will say that the picture does not move at all!

 

This picture is not an animation, as it is really a static picture.  Happy trying.......  

Wrong Address

A man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided
to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally typed a
wrong e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile....Somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned from her
husband's funeral. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting
condolence messages from relatives and friends.
After reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into
the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which
read:

To: My Loving Wife

Subject: I've Reached

Date: 15 DIS 2005

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here, and we
are allowed to send e-mails to loved ones.

I've just reached and have been checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you TOMORROW!

The Earth Status Report

Earth Status report - 2006

If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this:


57% Asians
21% Europeans
14% Americans (northern and southern)
8% Africans

52% women
48% men

70% coloured-skins
30% caucasians


89% heterosexuals
11% homosexuals


6 people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America
80% would have bad living conditions
70% would be uneducated
50% underfed


1 would die
2 would be born

1 would have a computer
1 (only one) will have higher education


When you look at the world from this point of view, you can see there is a real need for solidarity,
understanding, patience and education.

Also think about the following -
This morning, if you woke up healthy, then you are happier than the 1 million people that will not survive next week.




If you never suffered a war, the loneliness of the jail cell, the agony of torture, or hunger, you are happier than 500 million people in the world.

If you can enter into a church / mosque without fear of jail or death, you are happier then 3 million people in the world.


If there is a food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have bed and a roof, you are richer then 75% of the people in the world.


If you have bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money-box, you belong to the 8% of the people on the world, who are well-to-do.


So start living & stop worrying, You don't know how lucky you are!

The happiest people in the world

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.  

A Date

"A Date"

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

"What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad
news.

"I thought that it would be pleasure with you," I responded. "Just the two of us."

She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.

"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, "she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting". We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.

After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.

"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.

"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.

During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.

"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I did not do anything for her.

Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.

An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU!" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than God and your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time."

Here's hoping today is better than yesterday and tomorrow.

Get Out of the Car!

不住禱告 (from cgbconline.org)

靠著聖靈，隨時多方禱告祈求；並要在此儆醒不倦，為眾聖徒祈求。（弗六18）

《荒莫甘泉》中記述一位女傭人不住禱告的見證──每早晨當她打開眼睛便禱告：主啊，求你開我心裡的眼睛。穿上衣時，便禱告願能穿上基督的義袍。洗臉時，求主洗淨心靈；作工時，求主給她日子如何力量也如何；點火時，就求主挑旺她的愛火；掃地時，就求主除去她心裡的污穢… …。這位姊妹常常這樣從早到晚向神禱告，所作的每件事都給她一個禱告的意念。

我們覺得持續的禱告難實行，是因為不習慣把禱告和日常生活結合起來。倘若能嘗試像這位姊妹，把生活中每個環節都化成禱告，我們的禱告生活便會更豐富自然。

此外，我們在日常生活中看到或聽到很多人間不幸，如天災人禍、家庭悲劇，我們都可以為那些不幸的人們禱告。這是神兒女的天職。雖然我們常自覺力量微小，但我們若體貼主的心，必常記念周圍的人，並藉禱告改變世界！

What I Learned From Noah - with kk's comments

An email sent in year 2004

 

What I Learned From Noah - with kk's comments

 

ONE: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
[Kian] Yes, we are in the same boat at "Jacob's Ark".
 
TWO: Don't miss the boat.
[Kian] Jacob will be in action on this Friday. Please don't miss that!!!

 

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
[Kian]  Thanks for sharing the dreams with us 2 weeks ago. Actions will be taken and planning is underway. We will have something new rolling out in 2005. Stay tuned!

 

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
[Kian]  Tell you what... I started a gym program 2 weeks ago at Nortel. Now I am proud to say that I can run a non-stop track for 20 minutes each day and burn 250 calories each run!!!  I already loss 2 pounds.

 

For those who are interested, I am organizing a skating club to skate in Redeau Canal after the church service. Please join me. Let's stay fit FOR GOD.

 

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
[Kian]  Amen. Let's do it with a purpose and get the job done. Let's make our life a Purpose Drive Life!!!

 

SIX: Build your future on high ground.
[Kian]  Disagree! Even the highest ground in the earth was covered by the flood water during Noah's time. I build my "future" on "high tech", it is becoming bubble again. Just learned that a few days ago that my term will come to an end by the end of this month, and now I am entering into job searching mode. We need to build our future on EVEN higher place. Yes, our future is in the heaven.

 

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
[Kian]  And let's be a faithful and lovely person to our partner.

 

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
[Kian]  But... but it took 120 years to get on board. Well, snails got their job done. Let keep it up and look up. :)

 

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.
[Kian]  It's my time to float again and to rest. I am now building up my job searching people networking contacts and editing my resume. Please pray for me to continue to have momentum moving forward, especially during this holiday season. People like me tends to get lazy...

 

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
[Kian]  Well, one thing I realize is that Noah got the blue print directly from God. The Titanic is built based on blue print provided by engineers like me.  he he... ^_^

 

Conclusion:
I would like to wish everybody in Jacob's cell group a Merry Merry Christmas!!!

 

Love,
Kian

Camping Tips - updated

All,

 

For those who are first time campers, I just want to share my camping tips with you...

 

1. Be a well-planned camper: Make sure you bring all items you've planned for camping. Create your checklist if necessary. You could refer to my camping checklist. We printout our checklist and go through it every time we go camping. Guess what... we do catch things we miss in our final check before leaving our house.

 

Our check list is in:  http://kkdd.ca/  => More => Cheat Sheets => Camping Cheat Sheet

 

2. How to pack food in your cooler/ice box: 

• Process your food before camping: Slice meat, and marinate it.
• Freeze your processed meat. So that you could keep it for 36 hours, if well kept. Monitor your cooler, you may need to buy ice from the campground store.
• Freeze a few bottles of your bottle water. When the ice melt, the bottle water will serve as your cold drink in hot summer day!!!  Don't limit yourself to bottle water. You can freeze your favorite beverage too.
• Pack them on your cooler just minutes before leaving your home.
• Always, freeze meat and iced bottle in the bottom, eggs, veggie, etc on the top of cooler.

3. Deal with the chilly night: It is hard to say how the overnight temperature would be now, however, generally the overnight temperature is usually chilly and humid as we are staying outdoor. Be prepare for the tight sleep night!!!  On top of your sleeping bag, bring enough warm clothing for the night. Please be aware that most heat loss is through head and feet. I usually put on a pair of sock before getting sleep, with my warmer hat on my side.

 

Pengfei/Lingzhen, we have "sleeping bag" for Anya, if you haven't had one. It is a comfortable winter cloth with a bag attach to it. Cobcob used it when he was 5 months old in our last year camping. (Note: Good until 12 months)

 

 

4. Deal with mosquitoes. (anyway, I don't attract too many mosquitoes ^_^, I only do the blue part.)

• Use Bug Off. (Personally, I hate chemical on my body, so I seldom use it. )  Another tip, if you have an expired Bug Off, don't throw it away. Instead of spraying it on your body, you can still spray it on objects, like table, chairs, etc, around your campsite.
• Wear bright colour clothing. Don't wear dark shirt!  Otherwise you will attract more bugs to you.
• Eat more garlic.
• If you have mosquitoes coils, or citronella candles, bring them.
• Campfire. This is the most effective way at dusk.
• Light up your torch. Torch will light up our campsite as well as attract mosquitoes away from us. Nehemiah Fellowship bought their torches in their past camping trip and stores them in OMAC store room next to Xiao Xiong's office. We can borrow a few from them. I have the fuel for the torch. Another tip: You can also buy the citronella candle torch from Dollarama for only $1. I've used it before, it is good for quite a few hours.

 

Hope it helps... :-)

Camping Tips

All,

 

For those who are first time campers, I just want to share my camping tips with you...

 

1. Be a well-planned camper: Make sure you bring all items you've planned for camping. Create your checklist if necessary. You could refer to my camping checklist. We printout our checklist and go through it every time we go camping. Guess what... we do catch things we miss in our final check before leaving our house.

 

Our check list is in:  http://kkdd.ca/  => More => Cheat Sheets => Camping Cheat Sheet

 

2. Deal with the chilly night: It is hard to say how the overnight temperature would be now, however, generally the overnight temperature is usually chilly and humid as we are staying outdoor. Be prepare for the tight sleep night!!!  On top of your sleeping bag, bring enough warm clothing for the night. Please be aware that most heat loss is through head and feet. I usually put on a pair of sock before getting sleep, with my warmer hat on my side.

 

Pengfei/Lingzhen, we have "sleeping bag" for Anya, if you haven't had one. It is a comfortable winter cloth with a bag attach to it. Cobcob used it when he was 5 months old in our last year camping. (Note: Good until 12 months)

 

 

3. Deal with mosquitoes. (anyway, I don't attract too many mosquitoes ^_^, I only do the blue part.)

• Use Bug Off. (Personally, I hate chemical on my body, so I seldom use it. )  Another tip, if you have an expired Bug Off, don't throw it away. Instead of spraying it on your body, you can still spray it on objects, like table, chairs, etc, around your campsite.
• Wear bright colour clothing. Don't wear dark shirt!  Otherwise you will attract more bugs to you.
• Eat more garlic.
• If you have mosquitoes coils, or citronella candles, bring them.
• Campfire. This is the most effective way at dusk.
• Light up your torch. Torch will light up our campsite as well as attract mosquitoes away from us. Nehemiah Fellowship bought their torches in their past camping trip and stores them in OMAC store room next to Xiao Xiong's office. We can borrow a few from them. I have the fuel for the torch. Another tip: You can also buy the citronella candle torch from Dollarama for only $1. I've used it before, it is good for quite a few hours.

 

Hope it helps... :-)

 

Love in Christ,

Jianguang

Is it harder to raise boys or girls?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/family/06/17/harder.to.raise/index.html

 

 

DISCIPLINE
Who's harder? Boys

Why don't boys seem to listen? Turns out their hearing is not as good as girls' right from birth, and this difference only gets greater as kids get older. Girls' hearing is more sensitive in the frequency range critical to speech discrimination, and the verbal centers in their brains develop more quickly. That means a girl is likely to respond better to discipline strategies such as praise or warnings like "Don't do that" or "Use your words."

 

"Boys tend to be more tactile -- they may need to be picked up and plunked in a time-out chair," Gurian says. They're also less verbal and more impulsive, he adds, which is especially evident in the toddler and preschool years.

 

PHYSICAL SAFETY
Who's harder? Boys

In general, boys are more rambunctious and aggressive, experts say. Taking risks lights up the pleasure centers of their brains. Many parents find they have to keep a closer eye on what a son is "getting into," or use more bandages.

 

But letting kids explore -- at the cost of a few scrapes and cuts -- builds character, self-confidence, resilience, and self-reliance, says Wendy Mogel, Ph.D., author of "The Blessing of a Skinned Knee." Boys, being natural risk takers, may need encouragement to slow down a little, but maybe girls need to be encouraged to take more risks. Look for opportunities for your daughter to jump off a wall, swim in the deep end, or try the bigger slide. Parenting.com: Potty training: girls vs. boys

 

COMMUNICATION
Who's harder? First boys, then girls

From birth, a girl baby tends to be more interested in looking at colors and textures, like those on the human face, while a boy baby is drawn more to movement, like a whirling mobile, says Dr. Sax. (These differences play out in the way kids draw: Girls tend to use a rainbow of hues to draw nouns, while boys lean toward blue, black, and silver for their more verblike pictures of vehicles crashing and wars.)

 

In a nutshell, girls are rigged to be people-oriented, boys to be action-oriented. Because girls study faces so intently, they're better at reading nonverbal signals, such as expression and tone of voice. Boys not only learn to talk later than girls and use more limited vocabularies, they also have more trouble connecting feelings with words.

 

SELF-ESTEEM
Who's harder? Girls

Developing a healthy self-image is critical to all kids. But as the more compliant and people-oriented gender, girls tend to grow up less confident and more insecure than boys, researchers say. Famed gender researcher and psychologist Carol Gilligan, Ph.D., calls this "the tyranny of nice and kind" -- unwittingly raising girls to be people pleasers.

 

News to share: B.C. missionary attacked in Kenya

Dear brothers and sisters,

 

I came across this news, and really touched to learn about this missionary couple who up-lift Jesus' name and live out a beautiful testimony. Just a few days ago, they were attacked in Kenya. John was left with a broken jaw, broken arms and badly injured legs; Eloise was raped by three of the attackers, her face was badly cut, and suffered a broken jaw. They are recovering, after undergoing hours of surgery to treat the deep cuts on their faces and bodies and their many broken bones.

 

and.... while John still need to undergo four major sugeries, .... they said their experience will not deter their determination to work in Kenya, and the first thing they want to do once they fully recover is to visit their attacker, and tell them about their forgiveness....

 

The couple's reaction really reminds me our Lord's unconditional love. My prayer goes to their recovery and their work in the Lord.

 

Lvoe in Chirst,

Jianguang

 

 

A Canadian couple who endured a vicious beating by men armed with machetes and clubs in Kenya said they will not let the terrifying experience deter them from their work with the poor.

 

He remembers standing outside in the dark, when seemingly out of nowhere, he was hit repeatedly with clubs and could feel the machetes "just gashing me, slashing me, cutting."

 

For the moment, John said he's glad to have survived the attack. "I was just praying, 'Jesus, help me, Jesus, Jesus,'" he said. "They left my life intact. It's amazing . . . it was an answer to my prayers."

 

John said he is now more determined than ever to help the impoverished children and widows of western Kenya, and he can't wait to get back to work.

 

"My job is in Kenya, to grow food for the hungry, to build schools for children who really need them, and to teach them about God," he said. "What would we do in Canada? There's a social safety net back home that just doesn't exist here."   

The couple have no medical insurance and had sold their house, vehicle and furniture before departing. Schumacher estimates that at least $150,000 will be needed to pay for their expenses.

Nonetheless, Eloise said one of the first things she and her husband want to do once they fully recover is to visit their assailants.

 

"When I woke up this morning, I was picturing the time will come when John and I are physically well again," she said. "It's in both of our hearts to go to the prison and tell them about our forgiveness."

 

"I asked God to help me figure out how to get free," Eloise said, describing how she managed to get a pair of scissors out of her makeup box and cut herself loose.

 

He said his wife went through the worst of the attack but will recover because she has a strong relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

"She's not a weak person; she's a very strong person," he said. "She has a good foundation with her emotional and spiritual life."

雅各小组2007年报告

去年年底我们开始查考使徒行传。今年我们继续的查考路加在使徒行传里生动的记载主耶稣升天以后使徒藉着圣灵完成的工作。从这本书中，我们一起见证了初期教会三十年的创建史，我们看到圣灵正如主所应许的降临在使徒身上，他们就大大的得着能力，把和平的福音传遍欧，亚。

 

我们也查考了哥林多前书。这本书谈论到哥林多教会内部的事情和信徒的生活问题，更教导我们如何与世俗分别，过成圣的生活。之后，我们又查了约翰一书，更深入的去明白"神就是光"，"神就是生命"，"神就是爱"的道理。

 

今年我们一共看了三部电影：《Devil's Avocate》，远志明的《The Gospel part 1 和 part 2》，及《Love Comes Softly》。除了小组自己的活动，我们也与其他小组有合组聚会。我们今年三月份与恒爱小组有合组活动。我们请了谢逸牧师来讲牙齿的保健，从牙齿保健来看我们灵命的"保健"。 夏天我们也与诗班一起联合在Monnie's Bay 野餐。

 

自从好几年前我们教会来了一次的"宝宝潮"后，今年"宝宝潮"再次的临到我们教会。教会今年一共有8个猪宝宝。我们小组占了三个，分别为吴建广/吕宝思的公子吴�毅Jacob（31/3)、王鹏飞/董令珍的千金王安雅Anya（27/11)及刘克勇/林凯慧的次子刘之诠Isaac(31/12)。这三个猪宝宝是在教会八个猪宝宝里的猪老大，猪老五及猪老七。感谢上帝所赐下的产业。

 

雅各小组在2002年九月份离开尼希米团契成为独立的一个小组时，是一个单身就业小组。当时除了组长刚结婚之外，其他组员都还是单身组员。蒙神的祝福，我们小组的组员一个接一个的在主里喜结连理，也有小宝宝一个一个的出世，再加上我们小组一直都有新的组员加入。五年过去了，单身就业小组慢慢的转变成了家庭及就业小组。为了满足家庭组员的需要，我们小组今年也开始了家庭事工。这家庭事工与平时的小组聚会没有时间上的冲突。我们大约一个月有一次的聚会，由刘克勇弟兄带领组织了六次的家庭事工活动。

 

1.  在教�未�五年 (2008-2012年) �展目�中, 明年度 (2008年) 的近程  ���全力�展健康的小�, 主要工作如下:

News to share...

Brothers and sisters,

I felt emotional after seeing the video from CNN. (click here for video). I am shocked to see people just passing by a collapsed woman without even think twice. Sadly, this incidence happened in a hospital waiting room that several hospital worker saw her on the floor but do nothing. She died on the hospital floor an hour later.

I am really touched when I start to recite how Jesus reached out to the sick and needy people around him. What I see is LOVE in Him. Our Lord has set a good example to us to have compassion to people, for his kingdom. Let's pray for ourselves, and may our Lord lead us to reach out our hands to those who are in needs.

Love in Christ,
Jianguang

Mat 20:34耶稣就动了慈心、把他们的眼睛一摸、他们立刻看见、就跟从了耶稣。
Mak 1:41耶稣动了慈心、就伸手摸他、说、我肯、你洁净了吧。

"To people around the world who have seen the video, Esmin Green is a symbol of a health-care system that seems to have failed horribly.

Green, 49, is shown rolling off a waiting room chair at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, on June 19. She lands face-down on the floor, convulsing.

Surveillance video captures her lying on the floor for more than an hour as several hospital workers see her and appear to ignore her. She died there.

But to fellow members of her church, she was known as "Sister Green." Together, they served as a family for her in the decade after she left Jamaica for New York."

没有左手

在日本一位在車禍中，不幸失去了左臂的十幾歲的小男孩，決定 向一位 老師學習柔道。他很認真的學習，不過令他不解的是，六個月過去了，老師卻只是重複的教他同一個動作。他忍不住問老師：「您能不能再多教我一些動作？」

 

先生回答他說：「你只要把這個動作學好就可以了。」  
雖然男孩並不了 解 老師的用意，不過他 相信 老師的話，繼續努力學習。幾個月過去了，老師決定帶他去參加一個昇段鑑定比賽。在比賽中，他很熟練的運用老師所教的動作，過關斬將。一直到了決賽，雖然對手強悍得令他幾乎招架不住，他仍然在一番苦戰後，反敗為勝，得到冠軍。

 

回家的路上，男孩問老師，為什麼只用老師所教的一個動作，他就贏了這場比賽？

 

老師回答他說：「有兩個原因：一、我教你的招式是柔道中最難的一個動作，你很精通 . 二、對手想要破解這個招式則只有一個動作，一定要抓住你的左手。」

 

這個男孩最軟弱的地方，竟成了他致勝的關鍵所在。我們每個人都有軟弱的地方，但上帝總在我們的軟弱上，給我們意想不到的力量。只要善加利用上帝給我們的一切，我們也必像這個男孩這樣，在自己的軟弱上，看到上帝的另一種祝福。

 

Reading bible tip...

A person was in a desperate situation from which he could see no escape. He turned to the Bible which he closed, stood on end, and let fall open. With eyes closed he placed a finger on the page and looked at the verse indicated. It read, "Judas went out and hanged himself". Not liking this he repeated the process. The second verse was "Go thou and do likewise". In desperation he tried a third time. The result? "Then said Jesus unto him, That thou goest, do quickly."

Obviously all three verses were taken out of context and no truth can be derived from such a method.

 

Cars don't need to warm up, only you do

Cars don't need to warm up, only you do

Engine designs and materials have changed over time and motor oil has improved in quality, so there's no longer a need to "warm up" cars in the winter.

"Idling gets you no where," said Mayhew at the CAA. "The car itself really does not need much of a warm up at all. By the time you start the car, put on your seatbelt and check the mirrors, you're ready to go.

"It's totally wasteful of fuel."

Instead of warming up the car to provide heat for an elderly person or a child, make sure they are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions when they get into the car. That way, they'll be comfortable until the vehicle warms up, and they can discard hats and unzip coats to match the cabin temperature as the heater kicks in. There's a safety-related reason for this approach, too. If a car is in an accident or breaks down you'll likely lose the engine as a source of heat, so it's wise to dress for the weather.

Tofino

It attracts surfers, nature lovers, campers, whale watchers, fishermen, or anyone just looking to be close to nature. In the winter it is not as bustling, however, many people visit Tofino and the west coast to watch storms on the water. Close to Tofino is Long Beach, a scenic and popular year-round destination, at the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Nearby Maquinna Marine Provincial Park ^[4], with its natural hot springs, is located about 45 kilometres (28 mi) north of Tofino and is also a popular day-trip destination for tourists although it is only reachable by boat or float plane.

Tofino is a gateway to the Island's backcountry. With a guide or on your own, explore amazing trails or paddle beautiful inlets. There is still a lot of wildlife, such as Orcas, Bald Eagles, and bears.

Approximately 27 miles northwest of Tofino sits Hot Springs Cove, a natural hot spring that flows through interconnecting pools of various temperatures until finally reaching the ocean waters. The hot springs are accessible by boat, followed by a hike through the forest, and so a trip to the hot springs can offer both hiking and the potential for whale watching en route.

基督化生活――夫妻篇

http://www.21sz.org/show.aspx?id=4484&cid=19

何谓幸福

她比他小20岁，嫁给他的时候，家乡的人都以为她傍上大款。只有她知道，他到底是一个什么样的男人。

　　他只是一个普通的男人，黑，丑，一口黄牙。媒人当初可没这么说，只说是个过日子的男人，就因为家里穷给耽搁了，一直没找上媳妇。那阵子，没找上媳妇的都去山区找，有四川的、山西的、湖南的……花几千元就可以找来。那男人也托人带一个回来，这就是她，一个死了丈夫的女人。

　　媒人说男人富着呢，靠手艺吃饭。女人因为急于逃离那个家庭，问都没问男人会什么手艺就嫁过来了。过来后才知道，他的手艺就是在外面风吹雨淋地修鞋，再加上男人长得丑陋，让她有种上当的感觉。回去，已无退路，婆家人叫她丧门星，说是她克死了丈夫。

　　再婚后，男人很宠她，隔三岔五给她买些小玩意来，一盒粉饼，一支口红，几串荔枝……她长到30岁，从来没有用过口红，更不用说吃荔枝了，很快，她就觉得自己比杨贵妃还要幸福，吃荔枝的时候，男人不吃，只是傻傻地看着她吃。她说："你也吃。"他说："我不爱吃它，看着你吃我就高兴。"后来，她偶然上街，随口问了一下荔枝的价格，吓一跳，竟然要20元1斤。她的眼睛一下湿润了，他怎么可能不爱吃荔枝?他是舍不得吃呀。

　　她更加疼他，早晨早早起来给他做饭，晚上做好热乎乎的饭菜等他回来；冬天的时候，男人在街上修鞋，一天下来，冻得全身冰冷，女人就把男人的脚放到自己怀里暖着。男人也很知足，说是上辈子修来的福才会娶到她，他为什么50岁还没有结婚，就为等她呗。说得女人心花怒放。

　　女人见男人每天那么累很心疼，她说："给我买台机器吧，我和你一块修鞋去。"
男人不答应，说他挣的钱足够养活她，可女人认真了，偏要去。于是街上总能看到一对老夫少妻在修鞋，两个人紧挨着，有鞋修的时候，两个人就一起动手，空闲时，就有说有笑地聊着。冬天刮大风，女人的手都冻红了，耳朵也冻得青一块紫一块，这时，男人买来一块烤红薯，红薯散发着诱人的香味。男人剥开，用嘴吹着，却不吃，他把红薯放到女人嘴边，女人幸福地咬一口，又吹一吹，让男人吃。他们一人一口地吃着，好像享受一顿美食，好像吃着爱情的圣餐。

　　有一天，男人对女人说："总有一天，我会走在你前面。"女人就哭了，说："那我和你一起去。"

　　男人说："不行!"然后男人又说："我们现在的钱还不是很多，再挣几年，给你养老应该没问题。还有，我给你在地里种了500棵树，等有一天我去了，你也不能动了，那500棵树也长大了，我相信它们能够养活你。"

　　女人扑到男人怀里哭了。500棵树，那只是500棵树吗?这一辈子从没有人替她这样想过，可这个男人甚至为她想到老年，她觉得这辈子真是值了。现在城里人兴什么夫妻树、爱情树，而她的男人给她种的树要比那些树珍贵一万倍，那是一片夫妻同心树。

CBC News: Blog reading becomes a habit, study says

I just came across this news article, and have a strong urge to share the news with you. It was pamphlet, newspaper, magazine, TV/Video, or radio that we used as a media to share the Gospel. What is the new favourite media our readers would go nowadays?  =>  BLOG

 

Quite a lot of bro/sis already started to use internet as the media in the past decade. The blog era started to get popular a few years ago, and its popularity seems to get more and more readers. Really pray that more and more bro/sis would find a way in their blog to share their faith and testimony with their friends.

How Not to Get Baby to Sleep

Full Article, click here.

According to Simard's study, children whose parents fed them when they woke up in the middle of the night at age three were more likely to have nightmares and short sleep times at age four.

Babies who grew accustomed to falling asleep with a parent in the room, being held until they fell asleep, or being taken into a parent's bed when they couldn't sleep were also more likely as older children to have trouble falling asleep and to sleep fewer hours during the night.

"Co-sleeping with the child does not seem to be a good solution for comforting a child after night awakenings," Simard says. But that doesn't mean that children should be left to wail endlessly, or that parents should never console them. "It might be appropriate to be present in the room, comforting the child for a short time," Simard says. But it's most important "to let the child develop a capacity to comfort himself on his own."

The risk for obesity was exacerbated by TV watching: 17% of children who slept fewer than 12 hours per night and watched two or more hours of television a day before age 2 were obese by age 3, compared with 9% of the study participants overall.

These findings are the latest in a growing field of study dedicated to understanding how sleep affects health, particularly in childhood. Increasingly, research suggests that long-term sleep-related problems may start as early as infancy, and that both pediatricians and parents need to do more to ensure that children develop healthy sleeping habits. "The most important message is that there's a lot we can do to prevent problems from starting — in sleep," says Taveras. "Parents and pediatricians should keep in mind that children have to develop the capacity to regulate their own sleep early in life and self-soothe themselves during the night."

The Investment Banker and the Fisherman

The Investment Banker and the Fisherman
Origin Unknown

An investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal village when a small
boat with just one fisherman docked.

Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The banker
complimented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it
took to catch them.

The fisherman replied, "Only a little while."

The banker then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"

The fisherman said, "With this I have more than enough to support my
family's needs."

The banker then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

The fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, go
for walks with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip
wine and play guitar with my friends. As you can see, I have a full and busy
life."

The banker scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend
more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat! With the
proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you
would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a
middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your
own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You
would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to the
capital city. After that, who knows, maybe you could take on the world!"

The fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"

To which the banker replied, "I'd say about 15 to 20 years."

"But what then?" asked the fisherman.

The Banker laughed and said, "That's the best part! When the time is right,
you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and
become very rich, you would make millions."

"Millions?...Then what?" the fisherman continued prodding.

The banker said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing
village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, go
for romantic walks with your wife, and in the evenings you could sip wine,
play guitar and sing songs with your friends!"

To which the fisherman mused, "Now isn't that strange. Isn't that what I'm
doing now?"

Understanding the Source of Anger

Understanding the Source of Anger
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 1 by Os Hillman
Wednesday, March 12 2008

"A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control." - Proverbs 29:11
The workplace can be a pressure-packed world. The demands that are often put on us can bring out things that we never knew were there. Sometimes we begin to think that the source of that pressure is to blame for our response to the pressure. It could be an event, a spouse, a boss, a client, a child, or even a driver who cuts us off in traffic.

I recall responding to a close friend one time, "If you had not done that, I would never have responded that way." Later I learned that this response had little truth to it. We all choose to get angry. No one else is to blame for our anger.

"The circumstances of life, the events of life, and the people around me in life, do not make me the way I am, but reveal the way I am" [Dr. Sam Peeples].

This simple quote has had a profound impact on how I view my anger now. Anger only reveals what is inside of me. I can't blame anyone but me for my response to a situation. I have learned that anger is only the symptom of something else that is going on inside of me. This quote now resides on my refrigerator door as a daily reminder of the truth about my response to life's situations.

It has been said that anger is like the warning panel on the dash of your car. It is the light that tells us something is going on under the hood and we need to find out what is the source of the problem. I discovered that the source of anger is often unmet expectations or personal rights. We believe we are entitled to a particular outcome to a situation. When this doesn't happen, it triggers something in us. At the core of this is fear, often a fear of failure or rejection, fear of what others think, fear of the unknown.

If you struggle with anger, ask God to reveal the source of that anger. Ask Him to heal you of any fears that may be the root of your anger. Ask God to help you take responsibility for your response to difficult situations.

If God exists

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen...

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation..
They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.

Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the
barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point!
God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
