Identity Equation

Recently I am reading a book which is called "Victory Over the darkness", it states a very important equation to us.

I quote some of the paragraphs in here and share with you," We also tend to buy into the negative side of the worldly success-equals-meaning formula by believing that if people have nothing, they have no hope for happiness.... Happiness is equated with good looks, relationships with important people, the right job and a fat bank account. Life devoid of these "benefits" is too often equated with hopelessness.

What about life in God's kingdom? The success-equal-happiness and failure-equals-hopelessness equations do not exist...Because wholeness and meaning in life are not the products of what you have or do not have, what you have done or have not done. You are already a whole person and possess a life of infinite meaning and purpose because of who you are - a child of God.

The only identity equation that works in God's kingdom is you plus Christ equals wholeness and meaning."

我的心哪！你為何不安？為何在我裏面而淚？

真的不能再翻閱下去了，真的不能...眼淚不禁從兩頰落下來。而桌上的那份報紙更因此而留下了一點點的痕跡。

地震發生了這麼的久，今天是真正的第一次坐下來，去看一宗又一宗的報道。而這些報導所描寫出來的境況，有如在自己眼前般出現。每看一編的報導，內心的掙扎便更大，疼痛的感覺便越是更重。心裏不斷的問：「究竟發生了什麽的事？」更當看完這篇名為「孩子快抓緊媽媽的手」的詩之後，情感更是崩潰下來。

"孩子，快抓緊媽媽的手，去天堂的路太黑了，媽媽怕你碰了頭，
快抓緊媽媽的手，讓媽媽陪你走，媽媽怕天堂的路太黑，我看不見你的手，
自從倒塌的牆把陽光奪走，我再也看不見你柔情的眸。
孩子你走吧，前面的路再也沒有憂愁，沒有讀不完的課本和爸爸的拳頭，
你要記住我和爸爸的模樣來生還要一起走。
媽媽別擔憂，天堂的路有些擠，有很多同學朋友，
我們說不哭，哪一個人的媽媽都是我們的媽媽，
媽媽，哪一個孩子都是媽媽的孩子。
沒有我的日子，你把愛給活的孩子吧！
媽媽媽媽，你別哭，淚光照亮不了我們的路，讓我們自己慢慢得走。
媽媽我會記住你和爸爸的模樣，記住我們的約定，來生一起走！"

身為兩位孩子父親的我，又怎不能明白詩中的意境呢！天父，孩子不明白祢的心意是什麽？又要我們從這地震中去學習一些什麽的功課？天父，只願您的憐憫臨到這些無助人之中，您的慈愛與他們同在。阿們。

Power of Prayer

Today I have a chance to share this message to a sister in Christ, "
Satan uses a lot of ways to attack or distract us daily. The purpose of this is ... satan does not want us to walk with Jesus closely nor listen Jesus voice clearly. It especially loves to use discouragement or disappointment to attack God's precious children. Sometimes we are very fragile and easily fall into its trap. However, God has already given us a powerful tool to fight back and which is Prayer.

So if you are despaired or under attack, remember you have a power tool to use and do not just leave it in a closet. Ask for more grace and strength, ask for His guidance and protection, and claim all the promises that God has given to us ." Amen

電腦

隨著電腦的普及化，現代富俗的大都市裏，每一個家庭至少有一部電腦在家中。而電腦已經不知不覺地成為了我們生活上不可以缺少的「日用品」。

電腦的確為我們帶來了很多的方便，也有人說通過它的運作及各種配套，人與人之間的關係也變得接近很多。例如我們的電郵便是一個好例子了。

但是究竟電腦真的能另人在關係上變得接近或是變得疏遠？

現今的確有很多人花很多的時間在一台台的電腦面前。Check email, MSN, 上 facebook, 看網上報紙, 打機, surf the web...etc 但是卻少了與真人面對面的接觸及溝通。也把與家人相聚的時間同樣地放棄了。

唔!似乎現今的人，也應該找出一段時間來，安靜的去想想...怎樣找出一個平衡點來罷!

Trip to U of Guelph

Last weekend, we had a chance to bring Eunice and Isaac back to University of Guelph where Flora and I both graduated from.

We shown Eunice and Isaac where we used to hang around, where we used to attend classes and where we used to study together. They were very excited to see all the "new" things that they have not seen in their lives yet.

Flora and I have not been back to Guelph since 1992. So both of us were so excited too. Especially when we sat on the same food court table that we used to sit there 16 years ago. It really brought us back with lots of memory.

I do miss the time that we spent in Guelph... all the happiness and sadness. We do miss all of our good friends from Guelph too. No matter where are you right now, you are still our best friend forever. May God bless you and your family.

Fourth Day...Lakefield, Ontario

Today is the last day to stay in Lakefield, I feel a bit better when I wake up this morning. Thanks God...

Try to wrap up all of my work and gather whatever I need. Anyway, I do learn something from this trip and hopefully it will be useful in my lab.

After saying goodbye and thanks to everyone, I am heading back to Toronto. It took me two and half hours drive. The highway traffic jam is very common in here. Luckily I am not living in Toronto.
