亲子关系的省思

较早前，我跟母亲分享了一些事情。
原本的用意是想要让她知道我的一些事情，也藉着达到亲子关系的果效。
其结果却换来她的一些太过的反应。
母亲认为我的这一个动作是不必要的，她担心万一被人盗用的问题，然后说着说着就联想到她对我们身为孩子的担心----担心我们会为这个家带来不必要的麻烦。
当其时委实让我觉得有点颓丧与气馁。
甚至是有“早知如此就不说出来的”念头。
最后我耐心的向她解释并引导才算是把她给摆平了。
呼！

母亲的反应是可以被理解的。
在她的眼里，我们始终是她的孩子。虽然我们已经渐渐长大，我也相信她也意会到。
可就是不能完全摆脱我们在她眼中的软弱，不成熟......
母亲的反应是出于爱、出于关心与保护。
可同时间这个反应也建立在对孩子的不信任。
再深入地探讨下去，就从她说：“很怕你们会给家里带来麻烦！”这句话，我会发觉或多或少会有连带自私的情感在里头。
可同时间从她的另一句说：“如果你们需要钱去做些事情，不是用在没意义的事上，家里一定会支持的！”，我可以清楚感觉到她对我们无私的、牺牲的爱。
说着说着，怎么我把母爱搞得这么复杂嘛？
爱不是很简单吗？陶喆不是也在高唱"爱很简单"吗？
爱的确很复杂；如果我们忽略了爱的本质与真谛。
可是这一次我并不是要在爱这个课题上着墨。
从这件事，使我联想到亲子关系的某些想法。

很多时候我们会听到关于父母与孩子之间的沟通问题。
很多父母往往把它一概“推”论为“代”沟；

“推”是推卸责任的推，总之是孩子品性的责任、社会的责任、整个大环境的责任、学校教育的责任等等。

“代”是替代的代，想说家庭管家代为沟通、补习老师代为沟通、公公婆婆代为沟通、专家代为沟通等等。

总之就是把“推”字诀跟“代”字诀发挥得淋漓尽致、炉火纯青、登峰造极的境界。

我在想，亲子关系真的如斯为难吗？
当我站在孩子的立场深入思考时，其实孩子很自然地就很想与父母分享内心的事情。
这是天性使然，至少我是如此。
问题并不是出在孩子身上。
问题就始于孩子跟父母分享某些事情后的那一刻起。
成败得失就在于父母如何回应孩子那一刻起。
我说“回应”，而不是“反应”哦！
很多时候我们搞错了“回应”跟“反应”，我们错把冯京当马凉了。

We need to RESPOND to a matter, not REACT to it!!!

“回应”是听了以后，先分析、思考、重组、衡量过后，再说出相关建设性的，或鼓励、或纠正、或赞美、或包容等等的话语。
“反应”则是听了以后，可能经过浅短的思考过程，但很多时候都是未经思考，按照自身的长期经验与知识立刻说出一些或相关、或相对的话语。它是一种反射性的对话，这种方式可以带来建设与鼓励，也可以带来毁坏与否定，但是后者较多。

为什么我们会如斯对待孩子呢？
在这里我引用一位哲学博士的论点：

「你給我滾蛋！你敢跟我辯論？」
中國人只有生「孩子」，沒有生「人」。外國人只有生「人」，沒有生「孩子」。所以中國人，你七十歲你爸爸還看你是小孩子，因為他九十歲。外國人孩子十八歲他就對他的孩子說，「現在付房租，因為你十八歲了，你是一個人」。所以中國人對兒女的觀念跟外國人對兒女的觀念很不一樣。從哪裡來？就從亞里斯多德敢跟他老師辯論而來的。你在中國對大你十歲二十歲的人，強辭奪理你馬上沒有前途，我告訴你。但是在西方不是如此。亞里斯多德講一句話：「我愛老師，但是我更愛真理！」

就好比我自身作为例子，那一刻我跟母亲分享过后，我真的有一个念头说：
“下次还是别与她分享我的事情了，免得她多余的担忧，我也落得轻松。”
从这里我们可以看到是我不愿意与父母分享吗？还是父母的反应使我作出这样的想法。
当然我不会因为这样而不再跟他们分享我的点点滴滴；反之，我更要多点与他们分享沟通，因为是我在做主导，通过这样与他们良性辩论，慢慢引导他们进入正确的亲子沟通方式。
我这样说别以为我是专家，我只是体会了某些事情，想要藉此更深入地拥抱父母。
因着爱。

爱是等待

最近我忽然察觉到自己已经有三年的时光处于感情空白的状态了。
虽说因着某些原因，我选择如此。
再则，我也非常清楚自己的目标，所以并不会贸然进入任何的关系。
可是说真的，心里或多或少都会有丁点儿的落寞，焦虑。
更会有点儿焦急，盼望能够早日......

如果我试着以这种心情想象基督再来临的心情时，我开始可以稍微明白基督的心情了。
很多时候我们都在或讨论、或推测基督再临的时间。
我们都会在想，为什么他还未来呢？

我在想，当我凭着我的感受去体会耶稣基督时，也许他就处于这种状况。
基督老早已经准备好了，更是从创始开始已经准备好了。
他在耐心地等待他的新妇做好准备。
我在想象基督的心情：焦急、忧心、挂心；耐性、温柔、兴奋、喜悦......
他在等待、等待、再等待。

基督是如此地彰显他的爱---等待。
我又何尝不能如此呢？
因为爱，所以等待。
因为爱，所以坚持，准备，并等待。
在爱里耐心地等待。

God is a LOVER looking for a Lover

God is a LOVER looking for a long last lover

刚刚回到家，梳洗过后，我感觉到心里有股莫名的鼓动。
那是一种情感，一种很深入，根植于内心深处的情绪与感觉。
思绪在这时候是非常混乱的。说混乱又不尽然是，因为我感觉到它是有一
个大方向的，然后却又感觉到参杂这许多旁支的思绪，在交错着。
我感觉到这仿佛是神的一种情绪。
一种很伤心、很焦急、很痛心、爱怜、温柔的情感。
我的眼泪不住地夺眶而出，泪流满脸。
我觉得我能够控制这种情绪停止。
但是同时间内心却有股确据，知道这是圣灵的工作。
正如以往一般，我随时预备自己，把眼泪借给神来祷告。

我逐渐明白神在为着全地全人的灵魂而哭泣。
他也为着基督的众肢体而叹息。
全地全人都是神的创造，是神所喜悦的、是神所深爱的。
神就是那唯一的爱人，在寻找着他失丧了的爱人。

God is a LOVER looking for a lover.

所有被他创造的人，都是神的爱人。
可是这位爱人已经不在他的身边了。
他们曾经是如此的亲近，常伴左右、长相厮守。
可如今因着某些错误的抉择，神的爱人离开了。
有的掩面而去、有的变得铁石心肠，有的无颜回转、有的跟了别的坏情人
走了、有的被捆绑、有的被侮辱、被强暴，已经无能为力了，自力不能更
生了、有的被蒙骗，有的自我放逐、有的选择继续悖逆、有的更是选择憎
恨，蓄意报复。

试想象，有一天，当你回到自己温暖的爱窝，原本心里想着可以见到心爱
的爱人，是如此的令你振奋，欢愉。可是你却发现房子里头已经有了些微
的改变，很小却令人痛彻心肺的改变。
家具还是一样，厨具也是、床单也是......
可就是有一些地方不一样了。
牙刷不一样了、衣厨里的内裤不一样了。
不一样，就是这一切都不再是你的了。
熟悉的地方却摆放着不熟悉的物品。
除了痛心，还是痛心......

又或者，你亲眼看着自己心爱的爱人被强暴、殴打、虐待......
可他/她却不自知，还仿佛很享受般任凭处置。
除了心痛，还是心痛......

又试着想象，主就是那位新郎，基督肢体就是那位新妇。
主已经把所有的嫁妆、化妆品、上好的礼品，绝佳的绸缎与丝袍赐给了他所爱的新妇。
目的就是要这位新妇好好地装扮，把自己最好的一面呈现出来，等待迎娶她的新郎---主。
可是这位新妇却完全不懂得如何装扮自己。
对前面摆着的上好的化妆品、绸缎、丝袍、礼服无动于衷。
不但如此，她却跑去自己寻找一些有的没的统统套在身上，敷在脸上，自以为已经合新郎的心意了。
更甚的是，她还埋怨自己的头发不够长，不够乌黑亮丽。
埋怨轮廓不够美、埋怨手不够白皙，十指纤纤，更是埋怨双腿不够修长。
埋怨上面，下面，这个那个的，仿佛整个身体都要碎裂了，完全不再是一个整体了。
可她重来没有想到新郎根本不是在乎这些。
新郎在乎的是他的新妇有没有专心投注目光在他身上，藉着如此，从新郎的身上支取那完整的爱来装扮自己，把新郎认为自己最好的一面呈现在新郎的面前。

新郎是如此的荣美，完善，圣洁。
除非这位新妇已经成功地藉着新郎的能力与祝福装扮自己，否则新郎是不会贸然来迎娶这位新妇的。

我觉得神就是处于这两种心情。
他对基督徒是如此，对全地全人更是如此。

我的心很痛，我是为神而痛；更是为着我们全地全人而痛。
我泪流满脸，是为着神而流；更是为着我们全地全人而流。
主啊！我稍微明白你的心情了。

以上是我期待已久的一个短片计划。
制作人与导演是我在香港刚刚认识的一位朋友---十仔（香港演艺学院毕业，现任舞台剧作家）。
去年在香港拜访他的时候已经看过了一部分的片断，就已经满心期待他正式在网页上推行。
这一系列的短片故事将会围绕在一位叫做 Adam 的年轻人身上。
他有一个梦想------成为一位演员。
当然，在最近的一些港产电影里，他也有参与一些三四线演员的演出。（俗称跑龙套）

十仔就负责引导他如何成为一位演员。

他透过演员训练课程去帮助这位年轻人如何去克服一些自卑感，如何去建立起自我的形象，在群众面前如何去表现自己，通过种种的过程进而发掘出他的一些因为家庭因素所造成的心理问题，并帮助他做释放，克服他的心理阴影。（包括自杀等等的问题）

我相信 Adam 现在已经成功从他的阴影里跑出来了，或者至少在得胜的过程当中。

这是一个关于梦想的计划。
这是一个关于追逐并实践梦想的计划。

你跟我都有一个梦想。
有梦最好，逐梦更难。
可是很多时候基于环境关系我们会觉得自己很兜踎，不敢去逐梦。
可是如果一个人没有梦想的话，他不但是很兜踎，更是连咸鱼都不如，因为至少我们听过咸鱼也会翻生。

梦想，难易乎？
为之，则难者亦易矣。
不为，则易者亦难矣。

我很喜欢一首80年代的广东歌。
跃动的旋律，轻快的节奏，雄厚的唱腔，再辅以鬼马玩味并恰到好处的歌词，使这首歌充满生命力。

数字人生
作曲：Sandy Linzer/Denny Randell
作词：潘源良
编曲：刘志远
演唱：林子祥

歌曲有一段说明了人生与数字是息息相关的。

“填满一生全是数字
谁会真正知是何用意
烦恼一生全为数字
圆满的掌握问谁可以”

有很多人无可避免地活在数字的世界里。
我们的收入，银行的存藉，每月的开支，住处的地址，电话联络号码，各从其类的商业买卖活动等等，都离不开数字的运用。
有好些人更是沉迷于数字赌博，诸如万字票，赛马之类的赌博活动，仿佛把自己的成就，对财富的欲望都投注于，把人生都寄托于不正当的数字游戏，进而泥沼深陷而不得翻生。
再者，现在是数码时代，我们周遭都被很多有形的，无形的数码产品与网络所笼罩着。
这不禁令我想起 20世纪杀人网络的一些片幕。

是的，我们的一生都与数字有关。
且让我们看一看圣经是如何看待数字。

“Numbers (or mathematical figures) are never used promiscuously in the Bible, but rather take on spiritual meaning and significance; and for the searcher after truth there is found "the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Proverbs 25:2). ”

“All creation is stamped with the "Seal of God" in numerics. God has made man himself a creature of time and therefore, a creature of number. Therefore, it is consistent with the very nature and being of God that His Book, the Holy Bible, should be stamped with this same "Seal" - Biblical numerics.”

“The simple numbers of 1 through 13 have spiritual significance
Multiples of these numbers, or doubling and tripling, carry basically the same meaning only intensifying the truth. It is important to note that the first use of a number in scripture generally conveys its spiritual meaning throughout the rest of the passage.”

载自Symbolism in Bible

Number	Meaning
One	Beginning, One
Two	Witness, Separation
Three	The Godhead
Four	Earth, Creation, World
Five	Grace, Love Atonement, Life
Six	Man, beast, Satan
Seven	Perfection, Completeness
Eight	New Beginning
Nine	Completeness, Finality, Fullness
Ten	Law, Government, Restoration
Eleven	Discompleteness, Disorganization, Disintegration
Twelve	Divine government, Apostolic fullness
Thirteen	Rebellion, Backsliding, Apostasy
Fourteen	Passover
Seventeen	Spiritual order
Twenty-four	Priestly courses, governmental perfection
Thirty	consecration, maturity for ministry
Forty	Probation, testing, closing in victory or judgment
Fifty	Pentecost, liberty, freedom,jubilee
Seventy	Prior to increase
Seventy-five	Separation, cleansing, purification
One hundred twenty	End of flesh, beginning life in spirit
One hundred forty-four	God's ultimate in creation
One hundred fifty-three	Revival, The elect
Three hundred	Faithful Remnant
Six hundred sixty-six	Antichrist, Satan, Damned Triplicate 666

为何我要大费周章地解释关于数字的事情呢？
因为在接下来的篇幅，我会与大家分享一连串关于数字的故事。
那是一个关于 3 个 3 号的故事。
一切就跟 333 有关，也从 333 开始。
就从 2009 年 3 月3 号凌晨 3 时 30 分开始............

Kingdom of Comfort (333 : 插曲)

"Everything" Skit by LIFEHOUSE

2:30 p.m.
3 March 2009

When I saw this video, my tears started flowing out, I could feel my heart was stir up by Holy Spirit. I became so emotional that I felt something is shaking inside of my heart, and THAT thing is turning me upside down, started to overflow from the inside out of my heart.

"He" is so gentle, warm, tender, soft, yet passionate, full of strength, might, power, and security.
It is kind of deep feeling and profoundly for me regarding the LOVE of Jesus on us.

The beginning of the skit, I have had a strong and deep feeling about God's wonderful and fantastic creation in this world, is all for us to enjoy, to have pleasure, to appreciate, to manage, to maintain TOGETHER with HIM.
This remind me of the feeling of I strongly enjoy the moment that walk with God

day by day, moment by moment, step by step, choice by choice.

And yet, at the meantime, we are so weak and easily influence by the lust of the material things, the lust of the false relationship, pride of the power and authority, wealth and possession......etc.
A lot of the time we will make a lot of wrong decisions and choices, that we started to left Him behind.
The gab become greater and greater until we don't see Him anymore.
He can grab us back in anyway, but He was always Gentle, Kind and Lovely.
He want us to have free will to make a choice for ourselves.

Then, by His Grace, we sooner or later realize that we should get back to Him.
And this will always lead to a battle.
We need to be the initiative to against the odds, been through a process of pain, hardness, tough, challenging times, sorrow.
A lot of the time we are so suffering until we might think want to give up and let it be.
But the best is yet to come, because

"The ONE (Jesus) that is inside of us, is GREATER than the one (evil) that is in this world." (1 John 4:4)

Love will make a way to breakthrough.
And this Love is not a kind of humanism Love.
It is the Greatest Love we have ever seen.
It is the Eternal Love.

All these is a matter of choice.
Whether we choose to be there, the dark side with full of pleasure of lust, pride, possession......etc.
or
we choose to embrace the Eternal Love with pain, tough, challenge at the beginning but joyful, peace, glory, lovely, just, righteous in eternity.

These make me think of one song from Delirious.

"Save me, save me......From the kingdom of comfort where I am king."
"From my unhealthy lust of material things."

"Save me, save me......From the kingdom of comfort where I am king."
"To the Kingdom of Heaven where You are King!!"

LitMotive - T Shirt Design

2009-02-17T16:33:00.011+08:00

The draft of the design.

This is just the prototype.

Prototype draft with colour.

She was really cute and pretty.

One of the youth that we mentoring now.
Because we are proposing the art work of a youth to a organization for the theme design of the T-Shirt.

So, I look for her to be the model.

This is something remarkable, it is a starting point for the youth to start to expose their art work.

We are not sure how we could help them, but for sure we will be together with them in a way to market their art work. So that they will learn through the process.

By the way, she is Josephine.

This is another very funny and talented boy.

He has a lot of crazy, creative idea, and like to act.

I still remember when I took this photo of him, I try to lead him posing by asking him to imagine there is a beautiful and heart desire girl of him is in front of him, how should he behave, and believe me, he is odd till make me laugh.

He is Gan.

Here comes the designer of this art work.

He is very talented in art, music, dancing, acting......etc.
Seems like multitasking.

Currently he is studying as a bakery chef at a bakery school.

His father is a renowned bakery chef in ASEAN.

One of his dream is try to combine the design art into bakery.

Sounds interesting.

He is Cyrus.

Young and Talented Generation

2009-02-17T14:30:00.004+08:00

17th Feb 2009
2:31 p.m.

We are currently mentoring a group of talented youth ranging from 14 - 20 years old.

All the while there are a lot of deception, criticism, unfair judgmental pin point to the new
generation, saying that they have no vision, lost of destiny, useless, only focus on playful thing such as online gaming, TV gaming, all sort of video entertainment, partying, drugs, alcoholism, immoral sex relationship, premarital sex relationship......etc. You name it, they have it.

But the fact is,
is that true for them that this is the only way they behaving?
is that true for them that it is unchangeable?
is that true for them that they REALLY enjoying doing it?
is that true for them that all of them are like that?
is that true that they really are societal RUBBISH?
is that true that We as adult, the older generation, the GUARDIAN of them, got no responsibility on them?
is that true?
is that TRUE?

Or

To the other extreme, that we as the GUARDIAN, take the full responsibility on them, lead them, guide them, nurture them......etc.

So, we started to
tell them what should they study according to our experience and the market need,

arrange all sort of tuition class for them, in the name of better result in academic achievement,

chasing them to learn all sort of value added skill likewise music, dancing, public speaking......etc,

encourage them to score great in academic exam by gift or cash rewarding system,

tell them to do it our way in the name of better future for them in career and wealth making,
......etc

We doing all this by all mean, is FOR them, but the fact is not FROM them.

It is seldom for us to have a intimate conversation with them regarding their future, to know more deeply inside of their heart, to have a peace and positive and productive discussion with them.

Yes, some might say,"They are too rebellion to listen. It won't works!" "They don't open heart to us, difficult for us to understand their will!", "It is very hard to communicate with them, it is a generation gab, is a norm!"......etc

Yes, it is true that they won't listen, because that is not their will.

Yes, it is true that they don't want to talk because they know that we will not listen, after tried some times.

Yes, it is true that they don't want to communicate with us, because they don't like to have conflict and harsh argument with their beloved Papa and Mama.

Yes, some of us might say, "Yes, I let them voice out their opinion when I talk to them!", "I'm always be prepared to be their listener!"

Yes, it is true we let them to speak out, we listen to them. It is very good and wise to do this.
But the point is not only this matter.

The point that matter the most, and it is very crucial and vital is,

do we really listen to them by RESPECT their thought?

do we always be open minded to what they say, by letting them try first according to their will, and overseeing them at the back to protect them in case if any?

do we really giving them a break or some space, set them free from the frame that we put on them, letting them to grow freely while we just a overseer, observer, mentor, coach, friend of them?

do we really put ourselves on their shoes, think on behalf of them?

Do we REALLY?

No doubt, youth generation is the most powerful, and ultimate weapon to establish the kingdom of justice and righteousness, peace, joy.

They are so dynamic, creative, explosive, unpredictable, crazy, wholeheartedly, visionary......etc.
They are like the Human Nuclear Bomb.
Surely, whether we accept it or not, they will explode in great way.
Just that is a matter in what form that they will be explode,
whether Constructively or Destructively.

All these depends on how they find their True Identity.
The new generation after 1990s is searching their identity.
They had lost their identity.
And they are so keen and desperately searching their identity.
They searching their identity by one of the way----imitating others.
Whether a pop idol singer, celebrities, successful businessman, all sort of image that they think is cool and successful, they will follow.

But the fact is, a lot of us as their direct GUARDIAN, failed to be their role model.

They need US to help them to found their TRUE IDENTITY.
Are we willing?
Are we well prepared?
or
Do we blind not?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above shown picture is a group of young and talented youth that so passionate in art and media. They had form a crew team called LITMOTIVE, derived from Lit - Motive. Meaning, lit up the true motive and vision of others to pursuing their dream, by using art and media production.

Really, I'm inspired by what they do.

Though there are a long way to go, but this is what we call the right attitude,
become the dream chaser and dream finisher, and not the dream dreamer.

I will share more of their work in the coming post.

爱是......Part 2

2009-02-16T17:18:00.005+08:00

16th Feb 2009
5:21 pm

昨天，也就是情人节过后的一天，收到一封来自友人的短讯。（其实是还蛮长的“短讯”）
那是关于如何看待爱情的一些观点。本人是觉得还蛮有意思，也非常认同其中一些的论点。
于是特别摘录在此，愿与大家分享。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feb 15, 2009 2:40 p.m. SMS

爱的感觉中是在一开始是甜蜜......总觉得多了一个人陪......多了一个人帮你分担你的烦恼......
你终于不再孤单了......因为至少有一个人会想着你......恋着你。
只要能在一起就是好的......但是慢慢的，随着认识的加深，你开始发现了对方的缺点。于是，问题一个接着一个出现。你开始觉得烦，累......甚至是想要逃避。

其实爱情就像磨石子般，有人总想捡到一个适合自己的石子。但你又如何知道什么时候能够见到呢？或许刚捡到的时候，你不是很满意。但是请记住人是有弹性的，很多事情是可以改变的，只要有心，有勇气。
与其到处去捡未知的石头，还不如将自己与拥有的石头磨亮磨光，你明了吗？
别把随地的未知的石头都捡起。
珍惜你所拥有的，这就是恋爱的开始。
不要随便牵手，更不要随便放手。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

于是，我立刻回了一封“短讯”作为回应。

“我认同爱情就像磨石子。我也觉得爱情应该像白开水；甘如清泉，清澈如洗，细水长流。虽然清淡无味，可它是我们的生命资源。也正因为它原始的清淡味，更增添了它的可塑性。这都在于我们如何定时不断为它加入个别的口味。而这一切都需要我们的细心，用心，耐心，专心与爱心。我们可以选择不断地转换不同口味的饮品来迎合自己，可是我宁愿选择只是为一种口味的饮品加添不同的口味------白开水。愿你我早日寻到那杯属于我们的白开水。”

当然，这并不是我一时兴起而想的，其实这是在不久之前我的另一位友人问我对于爱情的比喻时就已经酝酿着了。当时我没有立时回应她关于我的看法，但是她却发表了一些蛮有趣的看法。当然，本身并不尽认同其中的论点，可我还是觉得还蛮玩味的，在此与大家分享。

“我认为爱情就好像喝酒一样；喝少许，可以促进血液循环，增添情趣，让人有点兴奋却不致亢奋，心胸豁然开阔，情感与情绪也比较开放，不再过度压抑封闭，的确有益身心；

喝多了，就会开始被其麻醉，神经系统不再轻易受控制以至思考模式，语言系统，身体机能系统等等开始呈现混乱的状态。有些时候会看得很清楚，有些时候却模糊不清，甚至口齿不清，口不择言，情绪开始往歇斯底里的状态发展；

喝得过量，精神层面根本就好像掉入流沙般，越陷越深，深不见底。这时候哪怕是任何人在旁边也不在乎了，其实不是不在乎，而是无能为力。好言相劝也罢，忠言逆耳也罢，存心靠害也罢，都不在乎了。所在乎的只是我醉了，就要醉在当下，并且敢敢醉下去，死心塌地地醉下去。

所以不能喝得太醉，要见好就收。

接着是市面上的酒太多样化了，五花八门的，各从其类。所以要懂得去遴选适合自己的酒，别一味照单全收。更要注意它的年份与有效日期，有些酒是不能储存太久的，久了就会变质变坏并贬值。

所以要大胆地尝试，小心的拣选适合自己的酒。”

当然以上有好些的文字是我杜选的，只是大致上已经取其精，道其明了。

接下来我会分享一些从蓝海策略启发而来，关于维系并促进爱情关系的看法。我想对于夫妻关系也好，恋爱关系也好，都尽管用。

The Key to the Kingdom

2009-01-17T12:17:00.002+08:00

17 Jan 2009
11:15 am

Past few days, I'd read a very profound and insightful article from the renowned leader, Rick Joyner from Morning Star Ministry.
I would like to take this opportunity to share with you all.

From the article, the key thing is about the PEACE OF GOD.
From Hebrew 12 and other verses, we 'd been told that for everything in this world that can be shaken will be shaken, but we have been given the kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Yes, it is the Kingdom Of God.

The primary way for us to build our lives on this kingdom is to use the key of the kingdom in every major decision in our lives.

Now, what is the key of the kingdom?

The key that God revealed to us is on Matthew 6:31-33:

“31Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’ “32For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “33But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.”

With here we are very clear that the key to the kingdom is refuse anxiety.
Anxiety mean we are lack of faith to God; that there is something is greater than God; that there is something that God cannot do.
It is the sin of unbelief.

But the truth is, God is the ultimate answer to every human problem.

Reject anxiety!!

We must trust Him, and anxiety is evidence that we do not trust Him.

Reject anxiety!!

We repent of sin by confessing it and then turning away from it. Determine that your response to a problem will not be to feel anxious, but to see it as a wonderful opportunity to grow in our faith in Him.

We read in I Peter 1:6-9:

In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

To be tempted is not sin.
We can all be tempted to doubt and to be anxious, but the quicker we recognize it and turn away from it, turning our attention instead to God, the more we will learn to walk in the peace of God.

This is my favored passage from Rick Joyner.

"Walking in the peace of God is basic to a victorious life, as we are told in Romans 16:20: “And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” Notice that he did not say that the “Lord of hosts,” which means the “Lord of armies” would crush Satan, but the God of peace would. It is the peace of God that is an impregnable fortress. The peace of God is the linchpin fruit of the Spirit, which if we lose it, all of the other fruits of the Spirit will also be lost. Think about it: If you lose your peace, you will quickly lose your patience and faith—then it is hard to love…. We must guard our peace. "

It is true that the peace of God that we should seek for all the times.
Especially in this very critical time of financial crisis.
We will look for a lot of method to change the situation, we will tend to change the way we doing things in the past.

But the key point is that we must change the way we think instead of the reverse way.

And to change the way we think, we must engage to the realm of the Peace of God.
Like the Bible said,

“And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.”

My sharing will end here, but there is lot more experience and feeling that I encounter with the Lord after I read this articles.

2 days after I'd read this article, during a prayer meeting with my mentor, my beloved spiritual father, Titus, the Holy Spirit fill me and consuming me totally till I cannot withhold and keep on weeping and have had a deep emotion feeling regarding the Peace of God.

I will share more regarding the Peace of God that I had experience in the coming post.

生命树

2009-01-16T14:16:00.008+08:00

16 Jan 2009
2:18 pm

有一个异象我几乎已经把它给忘了。
我的意思并不是真的忘得一干二净，只是一时放在记忆中的某一部分罢了。
趁着又回想起，赶紧把它给纪录下来。

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

在几个月之前，Debra, Titus, Agnes 与我在一次 Boasland 其中一项生意计划的会议中祷告。
在祷告的意念当中，我相信是神赐给我们的异象。
我“看到”在空中漂浮着一块土地。
是的，是一块土地，并且是土地连接着一棵树。（接下来就称为它们）
那块土地是呈锥形的，上方承载着一棵树，下放则是尖锥。
它们是以一个缓慢而平稳的速度从空中往下降。
那时，我不禁在心里反问：

这是什么意思呢？
土地代表些什么？
树又是代表什么？
为什么它们从天而降呢？

我“看到”它们一只往下降。
速度逐渐在增加中。
然后它们开始比较接近地面了。
我“看到”一整片都是干旱的大地。
完全没有任何青翠的草原覆盖着表面，也没有任何百花齐放的迹象，更没有泉水江河的滋润。
那时比沙漠还要干枯的大地。
完全是一片死寂，生气了然。

它们此时的速度非常快，朝着那片干旱的大地直冲而下。
这时我“看到”大地上有一个空缺。
这个空缺的直径就正刚刚好吻合它们的直径。
很快的，它们已很快并且充满气势地直插下那片大地，刚刚好填满了那空缺。
在这当儿我不禁又再反问，
这是真么意思呢？

说时迟，那时快，
我立刻看到青绿的草原开始从那棵树的树根处生长出来了。
一开始慢慢的，接着就越来越快速地覆盖着整片大地。
豁然间原本干旱的大地转为青葱绿意的大草原；从死寂转为生气。
接着更多的花草树木也接踵而生，真的是百花齐放。
清泉江河随之而出，孕育着这片大草原。
到处都见蓬勃生机。

这时在我的意念里出现了生命树三个字。
那时，我就有很深的感受，觉得我们应该设定生命树为终极目标，而不是分辨善恶树。

生命树 vs 分辨善恶树

分辨善恶树也是知识树，喻表着道理，知识，理论，自我的，人为的......等等多层面。
生命树喻表着神的旨意，能力，真理，完全，圣洁......最重要的是神无条件的爱与恩典。

生命树也就是神自己，他是万物的根源。
生命树所在之处，土地就受到滋润，祝福与保护，孕育着无穷生命。
它是源头，更是源源不绝的源头，永无止尽。

很多时候我们都会依靠自己的才能与经验来生活，面对挑战。
但是可别误会，我没有说这是不对的；反之我们真的需要亲身去面对生活。
只是，很多时候因为种种的因素，我们会先寻求自己或别人的方法（分辨善恶树）。
从来没想过先寻求一切的源头---神。

我在强调的是先后的次序。
是先发后至或者后发先至的程序。
是本末倒置的问题。

先神后方法；还是先方法后神。
这真的是一个选择。

譬如：
神是1，方法是0
0+1 = 01
00+1 = 001
000+1 = 0001
0000........0000000+1 = 0000........00000001
无论有多少个0，最后还是1。

可是，
1+0 = 10
1+00 = 100
1+000 = 1000
1+0000.......00000000 = 10000........00000000
其结果是无限的可能。
这也是神的本相，Infinity.

共勉之。

P/S: 当然那时候当我分享了这个异象过后，Titus 立时作出回应与更多的解释，并且在过后的日子，与 Rick 因着这个异象的互动而出现了更多的理解与肯定，这儿就从略。

新生意的规划

2009-01-13T17:44:00.004+08:00

13 Jan 2009
5:46 p.m.

现在才体会到要开始一个全新的生意是费时费力的。
从了解一们生意的背景，可行性，物流运作性，成本对比，前瞻性等等。
接着还要初步概念的规划整个大蓝图。
还要在精简地概括出更直接，有效，系统化的计划。
大家可别以为我真的在着手搞着任何的生意。
而是最近有位年轻有为的企业家想要开始一个新生意。
而我也很感谢他对于我的信任与提拔，他鼓励我跟随他做生意，想要栽培我说。
哗！其实我真的太受宠若惊了。
因为一直以来我都从未想过要做生意，也认为自己没有在这方面的热诚，更是认为没有天份。

可是那是以前的心境了。
最近这几年我真的很想在这方面有所突破，也越来越有兴趣。
现在大好机会摆在眼前，说真的，就欲望而言，我会去马。
可是我深知神在我的人生里有一个目的。
有一些已经在进行中，一些还在摸索的阶段，可我决不再随便下决定。

当然他也大概知道我的想法与立场。
所以现在是处于试炼的阶段。
在来临的2个月之内，我想也许就会有所转变。
无论如何，我肯定能从中受惠不浅。
Thank You, Abba Father.

现在还在研究着一些相关的资料，并且尝试着如何以蓝海策略的思维来规划。
感觉很像以前大学时代写研究论文的时候。
哈哈！
可以感到久违的压力了。
因为不熟悉而感到压力。
好，Stress me more, Father.
So that I could learn more.
So that I could step out from my comfort zone.
So that I could think out of box.

手中的种子

2009-01-11T10:46:00.016+08:00

11 Jan 2009
12:42 p.m.

在刚过去的星期一，一如往常般我们开始了2009年第一次的John C. Maxwell Million Leader Mandate 的 leadership program。
参与的人数已经有所变更。
Annie 因着新婚，无论是生活，事业等各方面都处于调整期。所以暂作短休。
Agnes 因着精神与身体方面都不太能负荷过多的活动，所以也已经暂别这个课程。
所以，剩下来的就是 Winson, Lance, Rick 还有我。
当然，导师依然是我们敬爱的Dennis。
他俨然已经成为我们其中一位很重要的“父亲”了。

当天我们各自分享了踏入2009年的一些新的进展，未来长，中，短期各方面包括人生，事业等的计划。也彼此分享彼此的需要与软弱，好让我们各自能够为彼此祝福祷告与守望。

分享与讨论过后，我们5人便进入祷告。
我们各自为左右两边的人作祝福祷告。

半途，在祷告的意境里，我很清楚地“看见”了一片沙漠。
一望无际，沙尘滚滚。
沙漠中有一人独行。
起初，我只“看到”一人。
从他的背影，我感觉到他仿佛有些焦虑，落寞。
他仿佛在寻找着某些东西，它在朝着某个目标前进。
过后，我“看见”了在他的身边伴随着一只雄伟的狮子。
我认得这只雄狮。我第一次“看到”它的时候是在香港。
（在未来我会特别分享在香港的际遇与领受）

对，这只雄狮就是“犹大的狮子”---喻表着耶稣基督。
此后，我可以感觉到那一个人不再像之前的落寞，焦虑，孤单。
因为犹大的狮子与他同行。
他的方向也变得更加得清晰了。
我意会到他们（人与狮子）将会到达---绿洲。

可是这时候我又在反问，
绿洲在哪儿？
是个怎么样的绿洲？
到达绿洲的路程遥远吗？艰难吗？
需要多少时间才能到达呢？
现有的资源足够到达绿洲吗？

在祷告中，我在不断的反复思考与推敲这几个问题。
这时候，Rick 在为我祷告说道有关种子，说什么犹如种子般慢慢发芽，茁壮而浑然成为茂盛的大树。

啊，就在这句祷文过后，我立时“看见”那个人张开左手，手里原来握着一颗种子。
其实是我感觉到我就是那人，我张开左手，看见自己握着一颗种子会来的更为贴切。
因为这时候的画面是第一人称的。
然后，我“看见”我的手把那颗种子撒出去。
当那颗种子一着地，一大片的草地开始冒出来了。接着花草树木也接踵而生。
到处充满着青葱绿意，散发着超强的生命气息，充斥着万象希望。
对，我看到了绿洲。
它就在我的眼前，瞬息万间就出现了。

啊......啊......太美妙了。
我的心情是如此地激奋，高兴，喜乐。
那种感觉就好像是期待已久的梦想，经过了艰辛劳苦，汗水与泪水堆砌而成就了。

接着下来，我继续反问，
主啊，这是说明什么呢？

我心里开始明白了。
是的，人生的前方肯定充满着挑战，艰难。
就正如行走于沙漠般：
得忍受炎阳暴晒的酷热与干旱，身体的水分因着高温而不断流汗，逐渐被蒸发。皮肤也因着紫外线而开始脱皮，因着脱水过于干燥而呈龟裂的状态。
嘴唇干裂，口腔极度需要滋润。
整个身体因着严重脱水而呈中暑的状态。
这时眼神也因着过度的疲劳而开始失焦，模糊。
思绪开始呈混乱的状态，因着对于水的过度渴望而失去了应有的思索，分析功能。
再加上沙漠地带因着冷热空气的转变与调和的效应而产生海市蜃楼的幻象。

可是我们有犹大的狮子的同在。
它一直都在我们身边。
很多时候我们不知道或看不见，是因为我们放错了聚焦点。
我们因着身边充满挑战，艰难的环境而模糊了我们的焦点。
我们也可以因着身边充满发展机会，很多有利可图的环境而模糊了焦点。
犹大的狮子（耶稣基督）渴望我们聚焦在他身上。
因为无论任何的情况，他都一直与我们同行。
因为亲近神就是智慧的开端。
这是方程式，更是神对我们的承诺。

因着神的同在，我们变得有信心去面对一切的挑战，艰难......
所有的人，事，物都会变，只有神是恒久不变的。
天上地下都会被震动，只有神的国不会被震动。
神的国在那里？在未来？当耶稣再临时？当世界的末了的时候？

其实，神的国就在当下；就在我们的心中。

就正如我们在沙漠寻找绿洲一样。
我们一直不停地找，以为绿洲就在远方某个隐秘处。
可是我们一直不知道，也没发觉到绿洲的种子就在我们的手里。
神已经把种子交在我们的手上了。
当我们发觉神的同在的同时，圣灵就会引导我们发觉那颗已经在我们手中的种子。
绿洲的种子已经在我们的手中喻表神的国已经在我们的心中。
可是如果我们不把手中的种子撒出去的话，绿洲是不会出现的。
同样的，如果我们不靠着圣灵的带领而开始付诸行动的话，神的国是不会降临的。
神的国是什么？
它是多样化的，多层面的。
我们可以以神赐予我们的天赋，才能，热诚在个别的领域创建，发挥影响力。
可以是我们实现梦想，追求卓越与成就等等，但这些都只是一部分。
更重要的是，把架构在爱上面的公义，平安，喜乐彰显在我们所到之处。
在我们与家人的关系上，
在我们与朋友的关系上，
在我们与工作伙伴，同事的关系上，
在我们与陌生人，以至于敌人的关系上。
是的，单靠我们自己是不能成就的。
神从来没有要我们靠自己。
他渴望的是与我们一同完工。
透过我们与他赐予我们的能力相融合，全地全人都恢复成神在创造天地时，在伊甸园里的完美。
与神同在的完美。

2009 年，肯定充满变数，瞬息万间能够人事全非。
可是与神同行，肯定充满期待，盼望，鼓励，兴奋，喜乐......
因为前方的路虽然凶险万象，我坚信必能逆水行舟。
因为我们选择乘坐了一艘“神舟”

纳吉副首相的鸿图远志

2009-01-06T12:58:00.014+08:00

6th Jan 2009
5:40 p.m.

我们尊敬的副首相，在是晚的新春晚宴发表了他的Vision。
我特别对他所说的2个terminology 有共鸣。

第一个
他发表了关于 Malaysia， Truly Asia 的论点。
他说没有任何的亚洲国家能够代表或宣称自己是Truly Asia 的国家。
只有马来西亚能。

这句话是能够理解的。
纵观马来西亚社会结构所呈现的多样化，的确能够配得起这称号。
社会的 7 大支柱都融合了各民族的特色，并建立于多少的血汗，泪水，牺牲与奉献......
文化的多样化，以至于语言，习俗，服装，食物，艺术，才干的百花齐放。

马来西亚是独特的，这是不容置否的。
很多的外国社会学学者都对马来西亚这片土地所呈现出的多样化而感到赞叹。
同时也为着马来西亚社会各种族阶层所呈现出的一种处于融合与崩溃之间的平衡感所散发
的张力而感到惊叹。

第二个
他发表了 One Malaysia 的论点。
One Malaysia，喻表着团结一心，不再区分肤色，语言，文化背景等等的分别。
同心同意，心手相连，朝向共同的目标。
诚然，这绝对是需要的。
可我认为这个 One Malaysia 决不能像之前某一些政客所提倡的如统一教育媒介语，透过诸如统一语言等的统一措施进而达到团结的目的。
因为要实现 One Malaysia ，只有合一，也唯有合一。

合一绝不等同统一。

统一，是使成一体，是一致;没有分岐,没有差别。
合一，是合为一体，是多样化的，因着共同的方向连为一体，互相效力，鼓励；没有分歧，却有差别。

12 就如身子是一個，卻有許多肢體；而且肢體雖多，仍是一個身子；基督也是這樣。"

14 身子原不是一個肢體，乃是許多肢體。

15 設若腳說：我不是手，所以不屬乎身子；他不能因此就不屬乎身子。

16 設若耳說：我不是眼，所以不屬乎身子；他也不能因此就不屬乎身子。

17 若全身是眼，從那裡聽聲呢？若全身是耳，從那裡聞味呢？

18 但如今，神隨自己的意思把肢體俱各安排在身上了。

19 若都是一個肢體，身子在那裡呢？

20 但如今肢體是多的，身子卻是一個。

21 眼不能對手說：我用不著你；頭也不能對腳說：我用不著你。

22 不但如此，身上肢體人以為軟弱的，更是不可少的。

23 身上肢體，我們看為不體面的，越發給他加上體面；不俊美的，越發得著俊美。

24 我們俊美的肢體，自然用不著裝飾；但神配搭這身子，把加倍的體面給那有缺欠的肢體，

25 免得身上分門別類，總要肢體彼此相顧。

26 若一個肢體受苦，所有的肢體就一同受苦；若一個肢體得榮耀，所有的肢體就一同快樂。

哥林多前书12：12-26

神啊！求你让我们马来西亚你的子民能够真认识何谓合一，而这合一乃是建立在爱上面，对你的爱，对自己的爱，乃至对身边的人的爱。

2009 的第一场捞生

2009-01-06T12:58:00.006+08:00

6th Jan 09
4:20 p.m.

这是我在2009 年的第一个“捞生”。

这个第一次很特别，因为是与在场众多的华社青年才俊以及25位国家重量级领袖
一起为2009年的农历新年掀开精彩的一页。

这对于我个人来说真的是别具意义。
刻在当下，我可以深深地感觉到神的恩典，以及他在我身上的目的。
（这是很个人化的分享）

我心里默默地有股耸动，我可以很清楚地感觉到，可我无法以笔墨形容出来。
就是五味杂陈的，很实在可又捉摸不住的一种感觉，
我不知道是为了什么而耸动，可我心里明白肯定是“好东西”。
我向日后一定可以更深入地了解这感觉是为何。

2009 年无疑是艰辛的一年，是充满挑战的，充满不安定的因素，也是充满机会的一年。
虽然表面上看来很平静，可我的心里就是很兴奋，莫名其妙地兴奋。
那种兴奋是安稳的，是有信心的。
它绝不是放肆的，张狂的。

神啊！我会放长双眼见证你在我身上的作为。

P/S:
在未来的几个月，我在很大的机会下将会作出事业的另一个转变的抉择，一个更大,更多发展潜能与学习机会的事业。也是一个更加接近我的热诚与才能的方向。请为我代祷）

华青新春晚宴

2009-01-06T12:52:00.002+08:00

6th Jan 2008
3:45 p.m.

在过去的3rd Jan 09，我有幸参与了马来西亚各大华裔青年团体因应政府所举办
的新春晚宴。
与会者有3000人共享盛宴。
当中有很多马来西亚的青年才俊，企业家，各领域的杰出人士都聚集在一起。
当然我很明白这一次的晚宴在某种程度上是有其政治意图的。
我们尊敬的 N 先生即将在来临的时日走马上任，当然需要为这件事做很多的事
前铺陈。
尤其是促进与华社的关系更是刻不容缓。
当然华青本身也有许多的声音需要传达给政府。
这绝对是互惠互利的局面，是无可厚非。

是晚的节目流程就毋庸在这儿着墨了，大家翻一翻当天各大报章就略知一二了。
可我要说的是，我非常珍惜这一次的经验，让我有机会去体会华社团体与政府
“交流”的局面。
也藉着这一次的经验，让我更多地了解华社青年团体的一些方向，活动，与政府的
互动等等的情形。虽然这还只是流于表面，但我深信这一次的经验决不是偶然的，而
是为着将来而铺陈。

当天晚上我跟 Lance就许下决心，要进入其中一个团体---青年创业促进会。
当然这是与我们的 Vision 相呼应的。
天父，如果可以，请开路并保守我们。
阿门！

Focus is not enough, we got to be PRIORITIZE.

2009-01-06T12:42:00.006+08:00

1 Jan 2009
00:30 a.m.

Recently I'm kinda worried.

Ya, no doubt I'm heading to my purpose that God put in my life. But yet I found that I'm slightly lack of focus. The term of "Focus" I'm referring here is to focus on God, which dealing with the quiet time with God, fellowship with the Lord.

A lot of the times I found myself too tired to stay together with Lord.

Ya, no doubt I'm with God everyday, I can feel the presence of God from moment to moment, I'm still doing things that favor by God ( I hope so).
But what I'm most concern is the quality times with God is getting lesser. I miss God so much till I'm worried about the intimate relationship with HIM.

This is kinda feeling like the husband and wife relationship, that you miss your wife so much due to outstation job......etc.

I'm kinda lack focus until I can't even focus on writing my personal journal, don't even say put it on the blog.
In fact, I'm actually been through quite a lot of excited thing that God blessed me. But the fact is I don't even bother or grab a time to record it in word anymore, at least at the moment not able to.

I miss my old sweet time, where I could spent hours just to quiet myself with the Lord.
Either praying, say thanks, praise His name, singing to Him, worship Him, weeping for His mercy for certain society issues.
I have had so many wonderful and precious time with the Lord, that I received wisdom, revelation, personal direction, encouragement, joy, peace from Him.
I love to dwell into His river of Life, that will never stop flowing, that I can gain strength, energy, courage, boldness......etc.

Oh...I miss you so much, Yeshua.
You are my Lover,
my King,
my Lord,
my Best friend,
my Teacher,
my Mentor,
my Redeemer,
my Light,
my Savior.

2009, this is a year for us to CHANGE.
The current global financial crisis will made us to be CHANGE.
No matter what, take it or not, we got to CHANGE.

A lot of people will CHANGE the way of doing things, whether in career context, in business, in academic, in daily life......etc, to adapt to the current situation.

But, what I learned from one of my life mentor, Mr. R.
2009 is a year of CHANGING.
But we must CHANGE the way we THINK, instead of CHANGE the way we DO things.

How to DO things is just a methodology, it is a end result from what we are THINKING.

If we changing the method but remain the same old THOUGHT, the result that yield will be the same.

But the question is, how do we change the way we THINK?
Here is the resolution, the 5 P's

Prayer
Purpose
Prioritize
Process
Provision

Engage ourselves to Prayer, which mean
hearing from the Lord,
receiving the wisdom and revelation from the Lord,
waiting for the divine moment from the Lord to act,

from Prayer, we will know our Purpose.
the Purpose will lead us to our destiny.

With Purpose driven life, we need to Prioritize.
For sure when we know our purpose, there will be a lot of opportunities that offer by
God through man to us,
Man,
The Devil through man to us.

Prioritizing involve repositioning, remapping, refining, reduce.
Eliminate whatever is irrelevant to our Purpose,
Reduce whatever is extra that might ruin or interfere our Purpose,
Raise whatever needed to be improve, for enlightenment and enhancement,
Create the relevant method or resolution to pursuit the Purpose
(thanks for the idea of Blue Ocean Strategies)

Prioritize will lead us to go through a Process.
It might be hard, very challenging, time consuming, sometimes even feel want to give up.
But the Lord is with us, all the time.
Stay focus on the Lord, while He will perform to us His mercy to breakthrough.

After gone through the Process, now here comes the Provision, the yield, some may view it as miracle or wonder.

Definitely I'm currently at the stage of Prioritizing.
Oh, Lord, thank you for the purpose that you had reveal to me more and more clearly.
Now is the time for more prayer and prioritize.

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.

For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their whole body (Proverbs 4:20-22).

随着与神同行的日子越久，就越能体会到顺服神的喜乐。

透过顺服神的经历，我就越能顺服在别人的权柄下，包括在家的父母亲，
在工作的上司，朋友等等。

这种顺服是不分年龄的。我相信如果我们认识了真正的权柄，并且是建立
在基督里爱的权柄，那么我们就能互相委身，不分年龄的大小，能力的强
弱，种族的优劣，出生的背景，学识的高低。

行使权柄者不再仰赖并滥用权柄的能力。
顺服权柄者也不再盲目弯腰折眉事权贵。

当然我很想分享更多关于真正的权柄，关于顺服的能力。

但我想这不是三言两语就能理清的，再者我更想分享另一件事情。

如果是这样的话，那我就变得很奇怪了。为什么我会花一段篇幅说一些有
的没的。

其实不然，我只是很像分享顺服说结出的果子---喜乐。

话说在上个月我顺服圣灵而去拜访一位刚认识的朋友---D小姐。
在刚刚过去的晚餐时间里，我再次的与她度过了一个愉快的时光。感谢神
的奇妙作为，她说很感谢我及时的出现，解决了她的一些疑惑和问题。就
在当天听了我的分享过后，她在过后的日子就比较有方向，并理清了一些
情绪上的问题。（前文请查看这里）

Well（我的口头禅），God is Good, All The Time!!

只是我的小小的顺服，我就见证了神的奇妙祝福，而且不是单方面的，而
是两方面的，甚至是多方面的，因为神是倍增的神，他只会一种数学方程
式原理，那就是乘以。Be Multiply and Fruitful.

其实基本上与她见面的目的是为着帮助她建立与神同行的经历。某些时候
我因着身体的疲累真的想就这样打消念头说：“下次啦！"

但是神可不这样认为,

my thought is not His thought,
His way is higher than my way.

"I did it My.......way!"
没有这支 Frank Sinatra 的歌仔唱了,至少对我而言。

话说回头，

单方的祝福是临到D小姐的层面。
两方面是指连我也蒙福，见证神的作为，连并提升了对神的认识与信心。
多方面呢，是指通过上次的会谈，促使了这次会面的内容与流程。

感谢神对我的信任的委托。
也感谢D小姐依然选择信任我，虽然在之前发生过我把她的一些事情转告我
们的另一位朋友----企业家K先生，而她显然并不乐意如此。我必须承认这
是我的疏忽，想说K先认识D小姐理应比较熟，其实不然。

这次她向我分享了一段刚从美国三藩市回马后所发生过的一段短暂的恋情，
并且深深地影响了她的一些情绪。
（其实就在当下心里对这短暂的“恋情”有些微言，但还是决定按兵不动，让
她自己透露的好）

当然她还未有向我透露当中的细节，话说下次有机会才分享。
起初我还以为Pastor Deborah与Rev. Titus都已经知道这件事情并且作了
适当的处理，其实不然。
我想说，哗！感谢你如此信任我。
我可以感觉到神真正要彻底地医治她，所以一层层，慢慢地，抽丝剥蛹地
显现一些隐蔽的事情。

当然按照往常般我向她分享了根据我的经验的一些分析与解释，并帮助她
理清一些位置与方向，带领她如何为自己，为这段失败的感情，为着任何
隐藏性的苦毒，为着事业而向神求和祷告。

当然我心里明白还有更多的事情需要帮助她理清，当然是靠着神大能的医治。

主啊，求你的保守与祝福大大地临到D小姐。

后记：

其实一直以来我都时常面对类似的事情，女生会很乐意向我分享她们
的问题，尤其是感情方面的。结果就在一次的经验当中就搞到身，心都陷
如其中，不能自拔，进而搞砸了自己当时美好的恋爱关系。
当时还未信主，就算信主了，也还未受圣灵的洗而更新意念。
现在可学乖了，靠着神的能力，嘿嘿，“它“可别想对我再制造任何的混淆
与蒙蔽。

因着过去的经验，靠着神的恩典与教导，我开始明白一些关于男女感情的
错误观念，种种对爱情荒谬与看似是爱实则自私的想法。
我这样说并不是因为我是什么圣贤伟人。
反之我是当中错误的一分子，我很清楚明白，甚至是深深感受到阁中的心
情。

在爱情里，很多时候我们都犯了错。

可要命的是我们不知道。
更要命的是我们知道了却无能力更改。
最要命的是我们不但知道而不能更改，甚至是越陷越深。

可都比不上最最要命的，
那就是，
当我们做了任何的错误，只要谦卑，屈膝悔改在神的面前，靠着神的能力
转离恶行，那么这一切将要被神翻转，前程从新洗牌。
而这是要付代价的。

是的，我们要了耶稣基督的命!!

Dream of a Beloved Friend

昨天晚上，我梦见了一位刚认识不久的新朋友。
我姑且称呼他为 K 先生。

K 是一位非常杰出，年轻有为，充满梦想与抱负的企业家。
他刚刚才在沙巴州成立了一间开发海草业务的公司。
这是他第 N 间的公司就不得而知了。

在短短的相识时间里，我知道他为着过去的一段恋爱关系受到了很大的伤害。
我非常能够理解他的感受，因为我也是过来人。只是我并不是“受害者”的角色，而是“谋害者”。在神慢慢的引导之下，我才真正体会到伤人者与被伤者的深切感受。现在回想当初事情发生时的自己的所作所为，都不禁为自己涅一把冷汗。

而其实这对他来说是一种打击，甚至是在初期时大大地影响了他的工作表现。
至自他遇到了神，当他愿意放下自我跟随神时，神迹开始出现在他的生命里。
其实坦白说，最大的神迹就是-------人心改变归主。
可是从我跟他多次的谈话中我可以感觉到或多或少还是有些许的影响，他还未完全彻底康复。

一直以来我都很想多一点跟 K 先生多聚一聚，可是一来抽不出时间，二来心中对他的鼓动还未那么强烈。
时间有限，24 小时，只能容许我在“对”的时间，“对”的地方，“对”的时候，向对的人说“对”的话。

话说回头，昨晚梦见K，我深信是神在提醒我一件事------是时候探访K了。
在梦中我看到K像是在挣扎着，像是在为某种事情而受束缚着，很不安。
我还记得那时候我就在半睡半醒的状态中为他作祝福祷告，奉耶稣的名释放所有尝试或正在捆绑他的黑暗势力与困难，求主加添他的能力与坚定他的信心。
（别以为我傻，我不认为祝福别人是一件傻事。硬要说傻的话就是哪有人在半夜时分，半睡半醒为人祝福。再说如果从理性角度来说，这或许是出于我潜意识的行为，但是我却深信是圣灵在带领我为他祷告）

我想，经过昨晚的梦，我真的要抽时间探访 K 了。
愿神带领。

Ephesians 6:14-17

"14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
Ephesians 6:14-17

Yesterday, one of my beloved mentee, Andy told me that he saw a vision from the Lord during his bath.

It is started as his beloved Mom and elder Bro' have a hard argument due to some conflict between them. After they had stopped, his elder Bro' came into his room and complained to him saying what had he done wrong. At that moment, Andy out of a sudden felt very sad. His heart was so hurt and feeling kind of broken, and he kept weeping until he can't withstand anymore. I believe Andy is feeling the brokenness as the Lord is feeling during that time regarding his family issue.

He quickly reached to the bathroom, under the shower, he let the water flow through his whole body to calm down his emotion. Out of sudden, he saw a vision, and I believe it is from the Lord. He saw a full set of the battle armor in front of him. These armor are the armor which mentioned in Ephesians 6:14-17. But after a close observation to it, Andy found out that it is not a full armor of God but left off the shoes. (v15)

I'm not sure what can I suggest him regarding this, but to encourage him saying that Lord revealed to him his current spiritual equipment condition. And I also encourage him to ask Lord to equip him with the shoes of peace which comes from the good news of the gospel, to speak peace and love to all the people around him.

Of course this is the vision given by the Lord to him, surely He will reveal more regarding this to Andy, if he seek for Him.

Oh, Abba Father, I ask in Jesus name that please equip Andy whatever is necessary, and continue guide him in Your way.

Be The Change Agent

12:42 a.m.
1 Nov 2008

I'm just got back from a music training session for the youth, I'm kinda tired in physically, but I'm so encourage and excited in spiritually.

Actually this music training session is not that kind of very professional music course. Rick and me didn't went through that kinda very intense professional music training. All we have is about the passionate heart to music, and I think this is the most important factor that should be take place.

We are just playing a role as a facilitator to influence them regarding the idea, creativity of playing music, the right attitude towards music; to lead them how to pursue music in proper direction.

And thank God that they are keep growing. Most of the time I feel very awesome to see them keep on being matured not only in musical context, but also personalities, attitude, self esteem......etc.

But tonight the Lord is doing something very differently and yet very remarkable to us. Rick sensed the Lord want to anoint the youth to be the change agent for their century.

We are called to be the "church" of Christ, as originally in Greek root word meaning "gather". It is meaning of a group of people gather together and strategist to serve the purpose of God.

With here, I would like to highlight 2 major point.

First,

"Church" doesn't mean a 4 wall building, that letting a group of so called "Christian" people gather within it, and doing some activities, program, religious ritual......etc.

"Church" is people, not the building, nor any congregation, or denomination.

Matt 18:20 revealed to us that wherever people are, wherever Jesus is, and wherever the "church" is. And yet the Lord Himself always referring us to the context of Kingdom of God, and only speak about "church" not more than 10 times.

But, what am I trying to say is not to ignore the context of "church", but rather to get back to the true meaning and function of "church".

Yes, the world need "church", but not in the misconception context. We need people of God ("church") that is truly devoted to God, empowered by the power of God, to emerge and penetrate into every corner of society to manifest the justice, hope, and love of God. Every single individual of the children of God have to stand firm in their position at their family, residential neighborhood community, schools or campuses, workplace......etc.

More precisely, we must disperse into 7 area of the society likewise:

Art & Entertainment

Business & Finance

Cultural & Religion

Distribution & Media

Education

Family

Government

These are the basic main structure of our society, of course each of every one of the sector can be derive to other relevant sector.

This will lead us to another very crucial thing------Leadership

Without leadership we will ruin a lot of things, and yet, yes, the TRUE Leadership must take place in order to mobilize God's children to emerge and disperse in the society to fight for the justice, righteousness, freedom, peace, which all this work rooted in the Love of the Lord.

I will share more about the true leadership in future.

Second,

We are called to be the children of God that need to fulfill 2 main things in our entire life, no matter what we are doing or dealing with.

Matt 22:37-38 is the first and greatest commandment for us to love God wholeheartedly.

Matt 22:39 command us to love others like loving ourselves.

This is the 2 greatest purpose which God required us to be fulfill.

We don't want to do all the so called "good deed things", or "meaningful things".

We want to do right things in Lord's sight.

Because doing Good doesn't mean doing Right; but doing Right will always lead to Good matters.

It is the Lord that make sure all the right things that He command us to do is for the sake of His good deed to the world, His beloved creation.

Rick and me ended the music session with praying for them and anointing them in the name of Jesus Christ with the authority and power of apostolic to be the Change Agent of the Lord, to bring transformation to wherever they go.

We wanna be.............

The History Maker in this land.............

We wanna be.............

The speaker of Truth to all mankind.............

这是Seremban的地道小吃,叫作鱿鱼米粉。我觉得它是一道蛮特别的,至少很难在雪隆一带找的着。鱿鱼蕹菜倒是见得多。

基本上我们可以把它想像成类似淋面的口感,味道也非常接近,只是没有淋面那么浓郁的鱼鲜味。还有那作为配料的卤花腩肉和鱿鱼或多或少都有加添味道的多元化与层次感。

我起先以为它会充满浓浓的鱿鱼鲜味,可是当我放入口中是,反而是觉得咸味差点抹杀了鱿鱼的鲜味。

当然,第一口的印象是真的很一般。

可我决不会随便就抹杀这道小吃的特点。我想一定是这摊位的厨师还未能完全把这道小吃的精髓发挥出来所致。

有机会我一定要再尝试真正好味道的鱿鱼米粉以便为它正名。

There's a talented and outstanding female singer/song writter that I would like to share with you all.

She is Regina Spektor.

I got to know her from the movie Chronicles of Narnia-Price Caspian, featuring the ending song tittle The Call.

The Call

2008-10-30T14:14:00.001+08:00

This is one of my all time favorite song, by Regina Spektor

The Call
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll cone back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every time when I heard of this song, I will picture out the scene of Aslan the Lion from the Chronicles of Narnia.
It is the literally icon of Jesus Christ, Lion of the Tribe of the Judah.
Where author C.S. Lewis wrote this amazing fantasy novel series based on the Bible.

I personally loved the second verse very much.

"'Til it was a battle cry"
"I'll come back"
"When you call me"

It is something very profound and significance for me,
that I can feel the promises from the Lord to us as His beloved children,

regardless of race,
regardless of culture,
regardless of tribes,
regardless of tongues,
regardless of religion,

Because we are living in a century of Multi-......

multiracial,
multicultural,
multi-tribal,
multi-religion,
multifunction,

That when we call upon His name,
He will come back to us.
In fact He will never leave us alone,
just that we don't think He is with us,
cause we Chose to believe so.

Lord, in my prayer I prayed that WE will always acknowledge Your presence, that we will always be open heart to You.
Please help us, to open our eyes and ears, to see You and hear You.
That we will answer to THE CALL from You.
Saying,"Here I am, Send Me!"

刚从马来朋友的开放屋聚餐会回来不久。现在的状况是:肚皮非常地饱涨,身体非常地疲累,脑袋因着生病而有点晕头转向,可精神却异常地活跃与兴奋。我想在这麽复杂的情况之下,是不可能一躺入睡的了,唯有先作些生活记录。

明天一早6时多就得出发前往Seremban出席这个全球领袖高峰会仪(从后略称为GLS)。它是全球性通过视频(video conferencing)开会的模式来进行的。

心里是非常地期待这类型的聚会,也更盼望神又会藉这次的机会向我说些什麽呢?

当然也期待"面对面"跟一些著名的领袖如Bill Hybels, Catherine Rohr 等等一起商讨并见证一些事情。

当然还有能够与更多的来自全国的本土领袖作交流与联系。

我须要在这儿停笔了。
因为我实在太累了......休息......

The Missing True Identity

2008-10-26T13:26:00.004+08:00

11:28 p.m.
25 Oct 2008

A couple days ago, I met a youth who named Andy. I supposed to meet two of them ( another one would be Justin) for some weekly discipleship in term of life development, regards their dream and passion, their future direction......etc.

End up I'm just manage to meet one of them which is Andy while Justin got to prepare for the school examination. May God lead him in preparation of his exam.

After some conversation with Andy, I found our that he is a person who fear of God. He loves God very much and he had a passion of bringing people, especially his friend and schoomates to know Jesus more. No wonder he growth with rapid pace, and I can feel God love him due to his obedience. I can be the witness of him regard his change of personality.

During that time with him, I generally brief him regard his future direction after secondary school graduation. Though it is still early for him to deal with this context ( he is form 4 ). But I just felt that it is very crucial to let him know the possible future direction.

Actually I found that a lot of the youth they did think about their future. But the problem is lack of life mentor to lead them regard their future planning.

A lot of them end up with nothing in mind regards their future, because they don't exactly know what is the "FUTURE" about. They don't have the idea to think about.

Yes, the youth generation had lost their true identity. They seek their identity, or more precisely, significance through talent, academic achievement, material possession, "love" relationship experience, physical appearance, online game virtual reality experience......etc.

For Andy, he is much more better that he knew his true identity in Christ. But he is still very weak for he will easily interfered by the gossip and criticism of his friend to him, especially from his only beloved good friend. He was so depressed for not being good enough that people will gossip about him.

I felt that he is wounded by this kind of issue. Without my doubt and lead by Holy Spirit, I quickly reveal to him the truth of identity with the Word of God.

We are Acepted
First, our true identity in Christ.
Who is Christ?

John 1:1-14 revealed to us who is Christ. And we are called to be God's children. Our true identity of royal prince, priesthood, and prophet in Christ.

John 5:30 revealed to us that we all empowered by God's might.

John 6:57 revealed that we live because of Him.

We are NOT in the process of becoming children of God; rather, we are the children of God who are in the process of becoming like Christ.

WHO WE ARE DETERMINES WHAT WE DO.

John 15:15 revealed that we are Christ's friend.

Col 1:14 revealed that we have been redeemed and forgiven of all sins.

Col 2:10 revealed that we are complete in Christ.

We are secured

Second, we are clean and pure in front of God, not by our act of flesh, but by the Love of God manifested through the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ.

No one can finger pointing to someone, nor be criticize and justification by self righteousness.

Rom 8:1-2 revealed that we are free from condemnation.

Phil 1:6 revealed that all the good works of us will be perfected by God

2 Tim 1:7 revealed that we have not given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

1 John 5:18 revealed that we are born of God and the evil one cannot touch us.

At last, I thank God that all this Word that He gave me is to strengthen Andy's heart, and raise up his true identity in Christ much more firmly.

Youth generation need to be revive and awakening from their "dream", so that they will pursuit their "DREAM" in Christ.

The future is much more depends on them, but needed us as the elder generation to equipped them, according to their passion and called to be, not by our self thought on them.

"Treat a person as he is,

and he will remain as he is."

"Treat him as he could be,

and he will become what he should be."

在刚过去短短的几个小时里,我又见证了神在中国学生奇秒的作为,使我的内心受到莫大的鼓动说:"神对我们的爱是如此地真实!"

话说Ps. Deborah, Rick和我三人到UCSI中国学生的家带领家庭聚会。他们很多的初信者和未信者,都需要有人去带领与教导。神既然委托他们给我们,就两肋插刀,火里火里去、水里水里去啦!
这次的聚会他们向我们捎来了好消息,就是有一位名叫时光秒(真的名字,中国无奇不有)的朋友自从上次第一次的聚会过后不久,就选择信主。Amen!!

说真的,我们真的没有预备任何的讯息或程序。我唯有先让他们各自自由分享与神同行的生活和作见证。同时我一边聆听、一边祷告,求问神要说些什么或作些什么。
感些神,一切都很流畅。而我在其中,透过他们所分享的,神就带领我把他要表达的讯息融合人们说话内容的方向,再以圣经经文为根基,完成了神自己的目的。

今次的讯息主要围饶在4个点:
1. 我们不能靠善行、修行、行为来达到神的标准。

(也可作上天堂、或成佛、或涅盘、或直登极乐世界......等的解释,其实不尽然正确，但对某些人会比较容易理解。)
(加拉太书3:11 )

2. 我们唯有靠着"信心"才能成事,就是相信耶稣作为成就一切的救主.

(加拉太书2:16)

3. "信心"就是对看不到或还未看到的事,因着神放在我们心里对它的鼓动、鼓舞而相信。

(希伯来书11:1)

4. 我们选择相信耶稣作为救主。神是自由的神,他给我们自由意志(free will)作选择,只是我们须要对所作的决定负上责任。

当然其间也回答了一些疑问与理清一些宗教上的错误迷思。例如真正的佛教其实不是宗教,要称它为佛学会来得正确,因它是一种教育。诚然,基督教也不是宗教,正确来说是信仰,是关于与神的关系的维系。

这一切都出自我的口。
真的吗?

认识我超过十年的朋友都知道我是沉默寡言,不善言辞的人。我甚至曾经被人说过不善于表达自己,说话前文不对后语。哈哈!我举手脚赞同。

但是现在人们很难想像我曾经是这么样的一个人。就连我自己有时候都顶不顺现在的自己,毕竟我本性还是属于文静的人,还是会表现出自我为中心的一面。

但是神的恩典,慈爱无时无刻都充满我,使我快速地转变,不断地鞭策我、催促我成长。
现在很多时候我信口成章都不是靠自己,是圣灵在帮助我。

每当我回头想起我所说的任何的话,
I'm amaze, by the powerful work of the Lord that done through my life.

结果,讯息完了过后,我就挑战他们的信心,呼吁他们如果心里有鼓动的话,在一分钟后就跟着作决志信主的祷告。

哈哈!新来的都愿以信心回应神。
I knew You are always here with us. That You love all Your people so much.

Thank you Yeshua.

Love & Blessing,

关于我在之前的一个梦

2008-10-21T13:45:00.007+08:00

3:53 p.m.
21 Oct 2008

大概在8月间，我发了一个梦。
其实我一直都没有与人分享，几位特别的朋友除外。
但是我觉得我需要把它记录下来，并不是为了要说明或证明什么，只是我心里清楚我们需要更多的预备。
话说那一个梦其实是很短暂的，也是大概发生在凌晨4 a.m. 至5 a.m. 的时段。（一贯以往神在梦中启示我的时间）
话说在梦里，我发觉我身处于大城市里头的一个街道。
围绕我身边的都是宏伟的建筑物，高楼大厦。
忽然间我发觉不远处有一大堆的物体急促汹涌而来，如同万马奔腾。
在看清楚一些才知道是洪水泛滥而来。
当我还想说逃走，还是找个地方躲起来的时候。
当我举头一望，罢了，罢了......
洪水的浪头已经高过所有的高楼大厦，铺天盖世而来了。
就到这最惊险的情况，我醒来了。
可我还是如入其境般久久不能平复。
脑海里只是闪着两个子
“海啸”

当我把这件事说与Rev Titus的时候，他大概分析我们要为着国家的政治情况祷告。
也许另一波的政治海啸会在来临。
海啸来临是为着要清理一些因着时日而变得陈腐的东西，要做洁净的工作。
当然那时候人人都在等待安先生所说的916变天行动。
结果我们也知道还没有什么超级大改变能足于以海啸来形容。
可是事情就这样了结了吗？我以为是。

可在同时间，地球的另一面却酝酿着另一种海啸。

美国经济一直承受着次贷问题以及国际原油价的不稳定的拖累。
结果到某一阶段爆发了美国其中历史最悠久的银行勒曼兄弟的倒闭，AIG的频临倒闭危机。
其实这时候我已经隐隐感觉到它与我之前的梦比较有关联。
结果就在我去香港的那段时间开始了第一潮的爆发。
全球经济因着地球村的效应，牵一发而动全身。
导致全球经济因着美国而来一场洗礼。

当然这时候很多人都处于惊弓之鸟的状态。
很多的行业也深受影响。整个市场都呈现于一股等待与观望的局面。
当然开源节流，节省开支更不在话下。

可是我心里有一种莫名的平安与等待。
深信神在作工。
我深信这是过渡期，一切都是为了更好的明天而准备。
从中我们可以了解这一切看似凌乱的背后，其实是清洗与重建的工作。
美国长久以来的经济都建立在不公义系统上（其中根据某香港知名作者说，这次的次贷危机始于美国前任总统克先生的时代的一些行政决策所造成的，同意与否见仁见智啦）

Something just need to be broken first before Restoration, Redemption and Transformation will take place.

天与地都会震动，神的国却不会震动。
神的国在哪儿？
神的国就在我们的心中。
当我们仰望神，将盼望专注在神的身上是，
神的国就降临了。

愿神祝福我们。

我所认识的真正的L小姐

2008-10-21T10:43:00.005+08:00

11:45 p.m.
20 Oct 2008

我很想再谈一谈L小姐,因为当我越深入认识她后,我就越深深被她的态度所折服。

无论是演艺工作上的敬业乐业态度,仰或对丈夫建立在爱为基础的顺服与包容,对孩子的爱,对妹妹的手足之爱,对父母亲的爱,对朋友的关心与关爱,她都愿奉献出自己,照亮他人。

当然这一切都建立在她对神的爱上面。她是如斯地敬畏神,如此地渴望与神建立强而有力的亲密关系。

每当我听她分享如何靠着神行事,如何随着神的带领去祝福并帮助亲人和他人,我的心就会被绞动,我在灵里可以感受到她的真、善、美。

她尤其感谢神的祝福,在她开始因为家庭的需要而减少演出量时,让她持续地一年至少演出一部剧集,以便保持在市场上的曝光率。

诚然,她最需要的是有一个群体能够作为她的支撑点,互相守望、安慰、代祷与祝福。

我想这就是神带领我们与她相遇的原因之一,我更深信神也要预备我们在将来的合作机会,为着祝福更多的人,尤其是年轻一代。

事关她与丈夫正在策划制作一系列的电影,透过媒体的暄染力与表演艺术的结合去引导青少年的方向,也提供在这方面有志向者一些管道进入表演艺术的领域,藉此去转化他们的生命。

我在想说神啊,既然你把看似没可能认识的人介绍给我们,自然有你自己的美意,那么神你就看着办吧,我们会满心期待的。

话说回头，L小姐在还未信主之前是一位非常虔诚的---佛教徒。（在这我不把佛教归类为宗教，因为佛学本身是一种学说，归类为教育会更加贴切。只是当佛学从印度天竺东传到中国大陆时，因着地方性的文化，传统思想而把佛学宗教仪式化了。）

长话短说，因为她的演艺工作的关系，使得她很容易投入某某的角色而有时候不能完全抽离。长年累月下去，事情就一直发展到有一次她为着一个慈善机构作京剧舞台表演。就在那次表演过后，她的精神状况就一天比一天差。

我就讲白一点，就是所谓的被“鬼”缠身。（其实也不是什么所谓不所谓啦，这个世界就是有鬼啦！）

有很长的一段时间里，她尝试了任何的心理学疗程，甚至是各种土方，宗教驱鬼仪式都未能解决。她甚至曾经认为自己会不会就这样患了精神病。

就在她最需要帮助而不得其法的时候。

她得到了一位基督徒朋友的帮助，带领她认识了主基督。

就在开始这段基督信仰的日子里，神一步步的带领她从黑暗走向光明。（过程当然没有这么简单到几笔带过，当然包括很多的心灵医治，更新，从新定位在基督里，是耗时耗力的）

就是通过神在她身上的祝福作为见证，她全家上至双亲，丈夫，下至妹妹，亲戚朋友都信主了。

人子来为要得着失丧的人。

神也应许说一人得救，全家都要得救。

现在的她绝对是一位模范母亲。因着神的恩典，她的家庭是如此的美满，快乐。从她对家庭，对事业，对亲人，对朋友，对陌生人的态度，处处都看到神的爱与恩典。

当然她也有对我们分享她的一些烦恼，尤其在家人上，大多数是如何带领他们走向健康光明的人生。我想这都不是什么大问题，因为她是如此地贴近神。

凡依靠神的都蒙祝福，在神没有任何难事。

唯一能够为难神的事就是-----破除誓约。

神不能破除他对我们的誓约------祝福。

God is Good, All The Time!!

香港乐器行的作业方式

2008-10-20T19:22:00.002+08:00

6:46 p.m.
20 Oct 2008

以上据说是香港最流行的吉他品牌---Ibanez
（我想应该是一般消费型市场吧）
它是属于阿基的。
一直以来，我都有这种感觉说香港身为国际自由贸易港口，商品自自然会比较丰富，多元。
可原来并不是所有的商品都如此。

话说我原本一直想藉着这次到访香港找一找Line 6的Bass Effect Pedal。
可原来一问之下，阿财与阿基都不约而同的说：“没听过哦！”
我心里打了个突，搞什么嘛，Line 6! You know! Line 6 哦！
我明明在网上调查了在香港是由 TxxLxx 琴行代理的说。

“系哦，没听过哦！”

再追问之下，才知道是香港乐器行的行销作业模式的问题。
一般上香港大型的乐器行都会把大部分乐器代理权拿到手，然后再看市场需求而选者性“大大力”推销某一品牌的乐器。
譬如说，在香港最知名的吉他品牌是Ibanez, Yamaha。我这边说的是一般消费市场。
而其他的品牌，他们会抓着代理权，也不一定卖，反正就是继续付代理费，好控制市场。
变成如果你要找一些“冷门”的品牌（这边的冷门只是限于香港），就得光顾一些小型的冷门琴行。
当然得付贵一点咯，因为他们没有代理权嘛，就是所谓的“水货”。
又或者直接在网上订购。

这可真是有点可恶。

可换个角度来看，这未免不是一种得体的手法。
始终最大的消费群是一般的大众群体。
只要单单把其中一些价钱中等，又有品质的品牌深深植入消费者的心扉里，这是无可厚非的。
好过去推销一些超高品质，天价的品牌远离群众，只能吸引一小搓的音乐人消费者。
这是绝对符合经济效益。
那些所谓识货之人自自然会有办法把他们想要的弄到手，再不然就来跟我（大型琴行）预订也可以。
呵呵呵！

哦，原来如此。
还说希望能买到便宜一点的说。
算啦。

双皮炖奶

2008-10-20T18:41:00.001+08:00

6:14 p.m.
20 Oct 2008

这是香港远近驰名的双皮炖奶。
是香港另一位刚认识的朋友 Gary 介绍我们去享用的。
他跟Rev. Titus 是相识多年的老朋友。（可别误会，Gary 才30岁左近）
我们一边谈就一边享受这甜品。

何谓双皮，就是在奶制甜品的表面还有多一层的“奶皮”，哈哈！
它分为热的和冻的。

热的炖奶就非常滑嫩可口，当你第一次含在口中时，一不留神，还未来得及试清楚它的味道，就随口腔一滑而下，祭了五脏庙。
热的是吃它滑嫩的口感。

冻的呢，就结实得多，但却实而不硬。
口感相比起热的，就带有一点粉状，含在口里的感觉，粉粉地，再融合浓郁的奶味，别有一番风味。

总的来说，
热的，香，滑，嫩，清新自然。
冻的，粉，浓，甜，情深意浓。

感谢Gary对我们的款待。
在这也恭喜他新婚快乐。
愿神保守他们夫妻俩的关系融合了清新自然与情深意浓的元素。

港式通粉汤

2008-10-20T18:11:00.001+08:00

3:40 p.m.
20 Oct 2008

这是本人觉得香港人比较特别的一种料理。

香港人的饮食文化其实是想的独特的。

她同时保有本身的中华人民多元而博大精深的料理精髓，也融入了西方料理的精华。

形成了其独有的面貌。

就好比港式茶餐厅文化，是香港独有的西式中吃的代表作。

什么港式奶茶，丝袜奶茶，鸳鸯，蛋治，西多士......

再配以出前一定餐蛋面，牛肉烩饭，猪扒饭......

比较特别的是以上的通粉汤。

它是一般常见的中式汤面，只是把意大利通粉替代中式黄面，米粉，河粉。

其实第一次吃，感觉蛮怪的。

怪的并不是味道，而是当我在吃的当而，口里绝对是中式那熟悉的味道，可是当我咬下去，却有西式意大利的口感。

中式西吃，西式中吃......

总之就是历经了一场嘴巴与感官的小型文化冲击。（恕在下未见过世面）

香港楼房价码所愆生的问题

2008-10-20T15:00:00.003+08:00

这一次的行程，使我有机会接触香港人比较生活化的一面，不同一般的旅游行程，只是走马看花，血拼，血拼，在血拼。我就住在元朗，位于衔接中国大陆的位置
就位于元朗的深井。

深井的丽都花园 5 座。

1:15 p.m.
20 Sept 2008

在刚过去待在香港的日子里头，我一直就住在港认识的香港朋友的家。
我称呼他阿基。
这个单位位于元朗，深井丽都花园。（其实它是公寓）
这儿只有两种单位，分别是
1。600 多平方尺
2。800 多平方尺

而我就住在600多平方尺的单位。
它真得不是很大，大概就好像马来西亚常见的廉价组屋的规格。
当然它的设备是相当完善的，就好像一般常见的service apartment。可以说是麻雀虽小，五脏俱全。相当“骨姿”（香港说法）
上面的图片是门口的小走廊，勉强容许两个人经过。
走廊的左边是厨房，轻松容纳冰箱，洗衣机，橱柜，灶头等。
厨房走廊也可以容许两个人进出。

接着下来就是客厅。

大致上它分为两个部分，一左一右。

右边的是大厅，可以容纳一个三位式的沙发与一些书架。（看上图）

左边的是小厅，可以容纳电器架与一些电视，音响等的设备。（看下图）

接着下来就是另一个小走廊，进入浴室，书房和主人房的范围。（看下图）

走廊的左边是浴室，空间蛮大的。至少可以容纳浴缸，马桶，精致型洗脸盆等。（看下图）

走廊的尾端进入主人房间。（看下图）
其实它是非常的舒服，空间感也够，不会让人觉得有压逼感。

最重要的是，它的窗口是对着海的，就是所谓的“无敌海景”。尤其是晚上的时候，青马大桥和青衣桥灯光所映照出的夜景，堪称一绝。
我现在终于知道以前港剧里头常说的无敌海景单位是如何的光景。

走廊的右边是书房。

它的空间的确小了一点，但是还可轻松容纳一张电脑桌子，一些书橱，还可容许一个人在这打地铺。（看下图）
接着下来我们来谈谈香港楼宇的价钱以及它对社会所带来最直接的影响。

一般上，像以上这样的楼房，600 多平方尺，要价大概200多万港币，折合马币是百多万，大概RM 1,500 psf，这就等于马来西亚黄金三角地段，围绕KLCC一带某些楼宇的房价。只是马来西亚的是2,000多方尺的超级豪宅，而香港的只是位于偏远地段，普通的600多方尺的楼宇。

可想而知位于香港九龙岛市中心的楼价，我不敢想像。

长期以来，香港人民就生活在这样的一个环境。

拥有一间600 多方尺的公寓已经算是吃得开的一群了。

如果只是一个人，或一家三口的小家庭住在里面，感觉还过得去。

可是，事实并非如此。

很多的香港家庭，或 4 位，5 位，6 位甚至是加上公公婆婆，很可能的人数是7至8位，就住在这样的单位中。

我很难想象是如何的一个光景，因为我本身就尝试住在这样的单位里，感觉已经不是很大了，还要住这么多的人。再加上港剧表面修饰的荼毒，使我们先入为主的认为港人都住在如此舒适的环境里。（这里指的是空间的大小）

其实跟他们真正接触多了，才了解很多的港人真正的生活处境。

就是因为楼宇的超高价码，逼得很多的港人一家大小一起挤在“豆润”般的地方。

结果就愆生出很多的青少年喜欢待在外头流连忘返，跟三五知己寻开心。人潮就多数围绕在油尖旺一带。（油麻地，尖沙咀，旺角）

反正就是不要先回家，等到入夜睡觉时分才回家。

因为家里太拥挤了。

现在我终于明白为什么前阵子来大马的一位香港朋友问我去过香港的什么地方，我不假思索的道出：“油尖旺咯！”，他就说从这一点就知道我的年龄层。（Yes,我还年轻！）

那，现在的情况是，

年轻人不喜欢待在家而往外跑，因为家里拥挤。

老一辈的不喜欢在外而喜欢待在家，因为外头拥挤。

结果久而久之形成了无形的generation gap。

香港很多的青少年问题一直都很严重，尤其是男女关系，是相当的开放。

堕胎的问题更是在全球上名列前茅的国家。

感谢神，在最近这几年神开始兴起很多的品格改造与朔造运动。

誓要把香港改造成品格城市。

我们尤其可以从香港政府在处理前阵子艺人陈xx风波的案件上可以看出他们的决心。相比起以前对于这类社会道德风气的案件来说有效率得多。

当然香港现在还得面对很多的民生挑战，也还有很大的进步空间，正如我们马来西亚一般，混乱中确有秩序与透明度的增加。

我们继续祈祷香港的持续改变，走进她在神的命定与呼召上。

咦，香港关我屁事？

不然。

目前全球的趋势，无论我们接受与否，都受到老美的牵制与影响。

而香港作为这个区域代表性的国家之一更是首当其冲。

香港的发展与改变都会影响我们东南亚区域。

你说关不关我们的事？

别忘了现在是地球村的时代，地球可是“平行的”。

所有的反应都会愆生一连串的骨牌效应。

当然我们别忘了还有另几股超强的力量在逐步苏醒着。

金砖5 国

BRICS - Brasil,Russia,India,China,South Africa

黄金走廊

介於中國與印度中間，跨越越南、泰國、柬埔寨、寮國、緬甸的「大湄公河流域經濟圈」，將受惠於兩個高成長大國的經濟發展，成為未來十年亞洲最快速成長的區域。尤其，當中最值得注意的是一條即將成形的成長橋樑（growth bridge）。

我们拭目以待神的作为吧！

神跟我开了一个玩笑!

2008-10-19T22:24:00.002+08:00

18 Oct 2008

在刚过去的几个小时里,Pastor Deborah与我一同拜访一位本土非常杰出和充满才华的女演员(她最近有一套电视剧作品刚播映完毕)。基于保护她的私隐权,在这我就以L小姐来称呼她。

其实我不是第一次拜访她了。感谢神的带领让我有机会去认识她,并且我深信能够从她身上学习很多的功课。

我能认识她,本身把它看为是神迹奇事。为什么这么说呢?

话说在三个月前的某一天,我因着报章上一篇关于这对艺人夫妻的优质生活的专访,就有感而发地说如果更多的这一类社交名人群体能够更多的体会神对社会各阶层(尤其是贫穷基层群体)的爱,去回应神帮助他们,而不只是顾着自我奢侈的生活享受,那该多好。当然我那时候对这一类社交名人或多或少都有摆出一副不以为然的态度。(现在想起真的为自己的态度汗颜与惭愧)

结果,神果然是创新造奇的神。

就在两个月过后,我竟然开始在他们的家作客ーーー就是这位L小姐。
当时候我一看到他们俩夫妻,心里就凉了半载,说:"神啊!你是在跟我开玩笑是吗?"
但是我知道神要藉着他们来调教我。
那天是我第一次认识他们。一整晚我都很不安,我感觉到神要我做一件事,一件令我很为难的事。
我不是很想做,也觉得会让人觉得唐突。

神要我向他们道歉由来。

最后我终于撇不住神的催促,还是乖乖就范向L小姐解释并道歉。就算她会当我是怪人也罢,总之是豁出去啦。

感谢神,L小姐她不但没把我看成怪人,而且很亲切并真诚地接纳我的道歉与解释。至到现在我们也越来越熟络,并互相分享一些人生经验、互相勉励。(其实是受她祝福多一点啦!)

当然,从这起事件上,我真正体会到凡事不单看表面,当看深层极尽处。我们真的没有权去批判别人,反而要以神的爱去包容并接纳、了解别人。别把自我的那一套套在别人身上。

我绝对认同,因为在后来几次接触的机会下,我对L小姐完全改观,甚至她已成为我学习的榜样。

容我下次再分享多一些观于我对她的看法。

刚刚安全抵达马来西亚ーーー孕育我长大的土地。有时候不禁在想这么大的铁块在天空飞翔,虽说航空科学机械技术的发达,但也没说100%的保证安全。
还是得感谢天父的保守。

刚刚在飞机上与旁边来自中国桂林的一位"女同志".......

(哇!巴士上坐我旁边的菲律宾女乘客把好大一只蟑螂扫过来,过后不知道跑去哪里了。我最讨厌蟑螂了一看到就非消灭不可,但却找不着,搞到我浑身不自在)

话说回头,那位"女同志"会在马来西亚逗留一个月,说马来西亚有亲戚叔叔接待。她在桂林从事小品式服装店。

问我说马来西亚有甚麽好玩的地方。我就告诉她说反正逗留一个月,那就好好地融入这儿的生活,亲身去体会这片土地的人文气息。

是的,诚如我这次在香港的旅程,我觉得比起之前那一趟(纯碎shopping)来得更多的体会。
我有机会去融入他们的生活,更多的交谈与了解、跟他们同桌而吃、同屋而住、聊民生挑战、从最东边到最西边走一趟,拜访一些我需要去认识的香港朋友以方便日后的发展等等......
这都让我获益良多,下次再分享多一些我对香港的感受。

P/S: 我没跟她更深入地认识,或许我敏感,总决得她有些不妥,类似"小龙女"的感觉,但我可不是郫视她,神也爱她,只是我可没有感动要跟她更多的交谈,就免得多事。希望是我的小人之心,对不起。
后来在巴士上更那位菲律宾女性交谈,到最后竟然向我要电话号吗。其实对她也是跟之前一样的感觉,这怎么搞的嘛!总是遇到这类情况。
我当然立刻藉理转移视线去"伊妹儿",过后就不了了之。

也许我真的多心。

这是港式姜醋。

当然在马来西亚我们称它为猪脚醋。我有幸能够在一位香港朋友的家一尝道地家庭式的美食。因为他们的家刚添了一位男宝宝并刚满足一个月,这对滋养身体有很大的帮助。

除了所选用的一些基本食材之外,大致上它跟马来西亚的有很大的差别。

首先它在香港被称为姜醋。它所选用的醋是叫做"八珍甜醋",是一种略带红的黑醋,非常香甜。大马并没入口。

姜醋的烹调手法跟我们的猪脚醋有很大的差别。在煮熟过后,还要经过储存一个礼拜,让所有的肉和鸡蛋都完全被被醋渗入而入味。这时它是呈黑色的,猪肉因为醋的浸泡而变得黑而硬。鸡蛋也是一样,连蛋黄也变黑变硬了,真的是比台湾的铁蛋还要"铁蛋"。

它的味道是如此地香浓甜蜜,完全跟我们大马猪脚醋的香辣酸甜相反,真的是各有各精采。

我真有口福,可以尝到这种家庭式美食。

Praise the Lord.

这里只有两种单位,600多方尺和800多方尺。

可别看它只有600方尺,当初阿基(就是我们的香港朋友)以港币两百万成交的,折合马币也要一百万。在马来西亚已经可以买一个接近2,000 方尺的高尚公寓了。

里面麻雀虽小,五脏俱全。
有机会捎后再介绍里面的陈设。

I'm now currently in the journey to Hong Kong. I can feel that this is a remarkable point for me and EG. It is another turning point of the life walking with the Lord.

In the plane, we pray and proclaim that the power and anointing of the Lord will be expand more and more and forevermore, starting from this first trip as we act in the name of EG.

We declare that the authourity from the Lord had already been delegate to us, in His mighty name.

We have a wonderful time in the plane that we are praying, worshipping Lord and prophetically declare and proclaim whatever the Holy Ghost lead us.

Another 2 hours time to reach our destiny. We are excited how the Lord will lead us in this trip. We are hoping to meet whoever that Lord send to us, for network building for the future work preparation.

We strongly felt that this would be the another turning point that we must stay focus on.

Indeed, life are full of turning point, depend on how we choose to respond, that will lead us to another level of abundant, or povety.

We need to respond accordingly, but not react.
Respond with rational, logical thought, wisdom, revelation and special intervene from the Lord.
React doesn't lead us to the right path, cause it act too fast according to emotion, flesh.

In Christ's love, we keep growing.

Kingdom Business Is About to Kick Start.

I'm just about finished to pack whatever is necessary for the special mission trip to Hong Kong and China.

Currently I'm kinda phisically very tired, but spiritually very energetic and excited.

Just now after the Million Leader Mandate training, Rick and me went to Rev Titus's home for some critical special meeting before Rev Titus and me leave Malaysia by tomorrow.

There is something we need to deal and discuss, plan ahead, to strategize and to delegate the task to each one of the core partner, in order to kick start our first business.

WE had been praying that God give us to do something which we can survive of for the daily livehood, and in the meantime we have flexible time to do more other matter.

By God's grace and love, He had lead us to start a travel and touring business.

He provide us the market, which is an unbelievable huge ready market.
Glory to the Lord.

Now the first 2 things is:
1. We need to set up a company with
travel licence and ticketing licence.
2. We need to secure the sales of the
coming first project.

Time is very critical for us, where we need to do a lot of things within these 6 months.
But we know that God is oversee us. This is from Him, surely He will do His part for us. The main thing is not what we can do.

The main thing is how to keep the main thing the MAIN THING.

The MAIN THING is we need to rely and focus on Him, and figure out how to be the faithful steward to God. We want to be the best manager to His business.

Where, Father is our chairman.
Jesus is our CEO.
Holy Spirit is our legal counsel.

We need to be focus rather than too excited. .
We need to be patient rather than rushing.
We need to be do FROM God rather than do FOR God.
We need to be prophetically and programatically.
We must be "prophegramatic".

Because all these was God's assets.
We will be His faithful steward.

Truly, this is GOD's BUSINESS.
And God's business is BIG BUSINESS.
That's why We are doing BIG BUSINESS.

THANKS for Annie's consultancy on setting up travel company. THANKS for Dennis for ready to bridge us with a travel agency. THANKS for Peter from Uxxx to give us a chance to work together with.
Of course THANK YOU Father.

真爱需要。。。。。。

2008-10-06T10:21:00.006+08:00

10:25 a.m。
6 Oct 2008

昨天晚上，工作完毕过后，我独个儿开往Mid Valley买一些旅行必需品。

驾驶途中，我感觉到圣灵要我去拜访一位近几个月才认识不久的女性朋友，暂且称呼她为 D 小姐。其实就在那个时刻，我的确实有一点累，并很想一个人好好地待在家安静自己。于是我向神祷告说明我的意愿，可是祷告过后，那感觉还在。我知道这真的是神的心意，我还是别对神闹别扭的好。

8pm , 我们在她家附近的一间面馆想用晚餐。
过程都非常愉快，她也向我说明了近况和所烦恼的事情，主要是工作的方向等的问题。

感谢她愿意与我分享。当然我除了能够鼓励她，并给于一些意见之外，暂时还未能向她提供任何比较实际的援助，因为某些因素，时机还未到。但至少更多了解她的状况和意向，好方便日后的妥当安排。

从中也了解到她真正从一段不健康的关系当中解放出来。（还在萌芽暧昧期）

是Rev. Titus 和Pastor Deborah 为她做了心灵医治。

感谢神，人子来就是要得回失丧的人，使我们得自由。

也感谢神就在这个话题通过我的口向她分享一些关于爱的真理。

至少她懂得爱是付出，并且不求回报这个真理。

再者，真爱是要符合三个条件的。

爱。。。。需要有感觉

爱。。。。是牺牲

爱。。。。需要建立在真理上

爱一个人的出发点，并不是谨谨在于想要在一起，并拥有对方。

反之，一段健康的男女爱情关系应该始于祝福，关怀，分享，付出上。

我们当想如何能够祝福对方，如何去付出并希望对方好过。

如何去按照对方的喜好方式去关怀，而不是按照自我的认知去行动。

如何处处去为对方着想，而不是自己能够得到什么。

当然有人可能会说这是不可能的，甚至是有够笨的。

诚然，如果双方都是以这种心态去开始一段关系，那么至少能够排除一些问题在外。

我也承认这未免对人来说是困难的，太过理想主义了。

我可做不到。

可是每当我专注在耶稣身上时，那么我就会被神的爱完全充满，融化。

那个时候我不再以自己的角度去看世界，甚至去爱，而是以神的爱去爱人。

爱一个很可爱，又惹人怜惜的人很简单，也很让人享受。

可是真正的爱只会在爱一个可能令我们难受，难过的人的时候才会彰显出来。

而唯有靠着神的爱，我们才能表现出真正的爱。

我们都需要爱，别人也许要我们的爱。

爱与被爱，更需神的爱，

爱才完全。

那么神的爱在哪儿？

在我看来，最直接的方式就是------去留意父亲与母亲对我们所付出的爱。

去回温并常常记念他们对待我们身为子女的一切。

这就是神通过父母亲向我们表达他的爱最明显的方式。

后记：

过后D小姐问我为什么会在这个时候拜访她，我就直截了当地说明是神要我这样做。结果她说其实她有在想我们（RICK 和我）什么时候会拜访她。

这就印证了她在那个时候需要有人关心并鼓励，神了解她的心情。

而我接到神的order，那就去吧。

THE FARM
一座理想的休闲，工作训练纪露营农庄。
重现创造的美景，回归大自然生态与上帝的存在。

这里俨然是一个天然的农庄，其运作谨谨依靠农作物来维持。她也提供小孩与成人一起学习照顾花园，树木，蔬菜，收集鸡蛋，为家禽和鱼虾等等的活动。

这是一个B&P Ministry(Business & Proffesional Ministry) 的聚会。当中很多都是某某公司的CEO, 成功的商人，专业人士与政府机关要员。

我就是单单依靠这张简单的地图和朋友的口述，

从KL 直驱，少不免历经一些行错路的波折。
她位于森美兰州的士毛月（Semenyih），途经武来岸（Broga），再转往Ulu Beranang的一个地方。

我现在终于知道为什么我们马来西亚人称那些和偏僻的地方为很“ULU”。因为凡是带有Ulu 这个字眼的地方一般上都由某程度的偏僻。

路途还中遇到牛群优哉游哉而过。

这是任人垂钓的地方。
只是需要付所钓获的鱼。

垂钓湖的另一光景

其中一只当初因着丧母之痛而郁郁寡欢的猴子。

当然藉着园主的爱心，替代其母成为“奶爸”，而成功挽回它的生存意念。

已经明文规定未经许可，
不得随意采摘水果。

因着明早需要工作，唯有在完成任务过后（最主要的是把重要人物载到会场），连夜开车返回KL。

还是第一次独个儿深夜驾驶于偏僻又陌生的地方。

感谢神，回到家还有时间与老爸“啤一啤”才梳洗就寝。

态度决定一切？

相中的这两位是我们正在栽培的其中两位少年。

说真的，起初当RICK和我向他们分享关于要从艺术与音乐的领域去影响和转化社区，并鼓励他们朝这个领域发展时，我们并没有设想要如何去进行，也没有任何的策划，更别说要如何把他们引入这领域。

在我们的脑海里，我们只想到既然我们都一致地在音乐与艺术方面有一点点的天赋，我们就要好好的利用这方面去引导少年们去追逐他们的梦想与热诚。这就是深深植入我心扉处的真正的领袖能力：
You see the NEED,
You take the LEAD,
You share the NEED,
To serve the NEED,
To fulfill the PURPOSE of the NEED.

结果，经过我们的分享，再经由他们自己去招兵买马，乐队与舞蹈队就这样成立了。
当然事情并没有这么简单，直至现在，基于某种原因，舞蹈队已经暂时停止了。
现在只剩下乐队还在进行着。当然，当中一些成员的出席率也不十分的稳定。

从过程中我真正体会到做任何的事情，无论大小与否，态度真的是很关键的一环。
以前还在从事寿险事业的时候，时常听的一句名言就是：
“态度决定一切！”
诚然，态度是扮演着关键性的一环，当然主菜还得佐以众多的配料才能成佳肴。

一个人可以很有才华，天赋。但这只是消极的条件，并不能确保某某的前途。
华人有句赞赏天才的话语----前途无量。
在我看来，的确是前途“无量”。这所谓的“无量”，可以是无限大，也可以是无限小，因为这是根本不能衡量的，全取决于某某的态度，这才是积极的条件。

在这班少年当中，起初全都充满着热诚与干劲。
那么当日子久了，我们就可区分出差别了。
差别并不在于天分，而是在于态度。
是学习的态度，是追求梦想的态度。
有一些当我举一，他反三。并不只是在于天分，更是在于他真的有自动自发地去额外地看，听，感，想。现在YOU TUBE网站的普及化，就是要鼓励他们好好地利用来学习，而不是选择去看一些互不相关，有害身心灵的元素。

那么，按照一般的做法，态度不正确的就会被撇在一旁。
诚然，时间有限，要善加利用有限的时间并发挥最大的效用才符合经济效应。
但是如果这样做就达不到造就他们的目的了。
神从来不会因为一个人不完全而放弃他/ 她，要不然神不会巴巴然地道成肉身，为我们作代罪羔羊，赎回我们并赐予永恒的生命。
因为人是神所创造的完品，是按着他自己那又丰盛又荣耀的形象而造的。
因着爱，本着爱，神总在我们身边不离不弃。
只等待我们回心转意的那一天。
天父很耐心的等待，等待，再等待。

所以，我们也很耐心的等待，等待，再等待。
只是我们的等待是有能力并积极的，不是空等待的。
因为天父亲自在他们的身上做引导的工作。
不是单靠我们自己的能力。我们算什么。
那在背后掌控一切的才是我们的盼望。

也感谢神在最近的半年里开始为我们预备各方面的联络网与平台。
我想只要我们准备妥当过后，就是发挥所长的时候了。
我想前面的道路开始明朗化了。
GOD is GREAT, all the time.

这是我最近的一个作品。
这是为一个寿险组织所作的作品

感谢黄小姐的对白与脚本。

感谢SEM 对我完全的信任与支持。

这次真的是非常的赶，而且能够在这么短的时间之内（一天一夜）完成，算是我个人的纪录。。

会众的观后感表面上是负面的，但在我看来是正面的。

因为从这儿我可以知道还有很大的成长空间。

评语多数着重于音乐的呈现------剪接，承先起伏，意境等等的问题。

还有就是文字的呈现------出现在画面的形式，文字剪接的问题，出场时间快慢的掌握等等。

最重要的一点，观众真的能够感受到这是一份“赶工”的作品。

嘿嘿，这提醒了我，别把观众当傻瓜。

是的，也许人们不懂制作一套3-6 分钟的影片需要多少的时间与精力。

所谓台前一分钟，台下十年功，这真的不是开玩笑的。

人们也不晓得当中所面对的难题，技巧性的难度与取舍等的问题。

但是我都不能把这些套在他们的身上，因为他们是观众。

但是我能够确定一点的是。。。。。。

人们都能感受出一个作品的诚意。

观众的眼睛是雪亮的。

诚然，先别谈影片的概念，就音乐的剪接与铺陈，文字的呈现这两方面而言，

我必须承认这次的作品有点粗制滥作，并没有很用心并耐心的寻索与处理，制作。

我知道“没时间”并不能作为借口，因为一旦接了这份 job，就是我的责任把它完美呈现。

感谢这一切让我学得更多，更扩。

我学会了真的要好好看顾并编排我的时间表，尤其是日益繁忙的将来。

这对我将来的发展是非常重要的。

SG 的观众们，你们很棒！！

谢谢。

P/S: 在这儿特别感谢黄小姐所为我汇报的人们的观后感，感谢她耐心的陈述。

FACEBOOK 的朋友，欲赏面欣赏影片，请游览本人的部落格。谢谢。

Hummus (Garbanzo Bean Paste)

之前我在电影 You Don't mess with Zohan 里头初次了解他们很喜欢这类食品。

它通常是面包之类食品的佐料。

想不到我有这个不是在餐馆里尝试的机会，而是直接在一般的家庭当中尝试这家常料理。

整体的味道还不错，至少没有一些想像中类似印度酱料般的浓重香料味。还蛮清新的。

只是卖相并不好就是了。

这班长辈可不得了。
从他们的身上，我可以感受到那股对生命的热枕，对国家的抱负与盼望。
他们是如此的喜乐，平安，激情，动感。。。。。。
他们知道身为马来西亚子民应当作的事情。
他们为着身为马来西亚子民而骄傲。
他们为着马来西亚有关方面所犯的过错而认罪悔改。
他们为着马来西亚全新的未来而宣告，祝福。
他们不看自己的年迈的身体，他们有盼望，他们有爱，他们有信心。
他们是我所要学习的对象。
今天是穆斯林的欢庆日，也是中国的国庆日，更是犹太人的新年。
也许我还未能深入的了解神在当中真正的意义。
但我感受到就在今天，某些事情在酝酿着，一个全新的开始的孕育期，等待着“新人”的诞生。
就在马来西亚，就在东南亚，就在亚洲，就在世界各大洲。
因为全球化在网际网络光速发展的推波助澜下，地球村快速成立。
将来在世界各地所发生的事情，将会对全球各个角落影响深远。
其实不用等将来，近十年开始就已经在发生了。

他们高举马来西亚国旗，宣告她的将来。

我们需要一个公义，公正，爱心，喜乐，透明化的未来。

Oh Malaysia,

Tanah Tumpahnya Darah Ku.

The land glory,

Where I found it in my heart.

这真是奇妙的一个晚上。

主奇妙的拜访我们，并赐下很多的先知性话语。

他们已经一连6 天从主领受了很多的对于如何为国家宣告祝福的讯息。

昨晚是第 7 天，也是最后一天。

过后我们一伙就照着这些讯息与资料，到达国家政府机要重地---布特拉再也城。

我们行车在某些特定的地方为国家宣告祝福。

当然当中也发生了一些先知性的应验，我们都感受到某些事情正在成就了。

我们在一个代表“妇女的脑”的地方宣告祝福。

我们在一个代表“妇女的耳”的地方宣告祝福不再耳聋，将重新听见。

我们在一个代表“妇女的子宫”的地方宣告祝福。

最后，我们在一条康庄大道上，大道两旁尽是政府的各机要部门的办公楼。

我们在这条大道上来回围绕奔驰 7 圈，就像约书亚带领群众围绕耶利哥城 7 天，并在第 7 天绕 7 圈一样。我们吹号角宣告背后的不公义的邪恶黑暗势力将要倒塌，并占领回这座城池。

4 p.m.，是我回到家的时间。肉体很累，但灵里满足。

这个奇特的家伙是敲击乐器的一种。它属于一种被称为Rattle 的乐器。而它真正的名字恕在下孤谋寡闻，暂时未能告知大家。

我是在参加昨晚一个犹太人传统的庆祝节日当中，在一位刚认识的朋友家中（其实是当天经过介绍才认识）发现这两个家伙。

这家伙是个完整的原木制品，我还可以清楚地看见它的纹路。它的内部被淘空并呈现出中空，再灌以细小粒状的物体，诸如沙石，各从其类的豆谷等等。当你上下倒转，来回地摇晃它的时候，里面的粒状物体因着来回滑动并相互各自碰撞，与木身的内壁相撞所发出的声音，在木身内壁的中空状态下所产生的回响，并因着木身天然的呈多孔的构造，俨然是天然的扩音器，成功地呈现出一种独有的音律。

其声音俨如天籁之音，如若闭上双眼，仿佛置身于海边，耳边尽是海浪拍打岸边的清脆声响，连绵不绝，滔滔江河。又倘或飘荡于青天，微风在你耳边向你轻声细语，徐徐凉风，荡人心扉。又倘或在青翠绿林中，聆听着那淙淙溪水，细细长流于岩石边，小桥流水人家，理想中的坞托邦莫不在心眼前吗？

它是古老时代的乐器。若果换在现代，它常被用于 cha cha, tango, jazz 的曲风的音乐。

它是整块原木头的构造。

其上还可看到那些木纹。

就是这样双手抓拿，

并来回上下的摇晃。

天籁之音随之而发。

最近比较频密地使用苹果“爱疯”（Iphone）来记载心路历程。
它的确是非常地方便与快捷。

可是问题来了。

它只限于用英语来书写才会感觉到那种行云流水的畅快感。

若果转去中文拼音书写，立时感到那种莫名的顿挫感，拖泥带水的，好痛苦。

再加上最近真的比较忙，鲜少让我有时间好整以暇地以电脑来写部落。

暂时只有手机式书写部落才能符合我的要求。

所以最近比较少以中文来写部落。

也罢，藉此机会锻炼一下英语的文笔也好。

This is one of my favourite dish.
I found it in one of the home style restaurant at Subang SS 15. It is as tasty as Sxxxxx Rxxxxxx's award winning lamb shank, but half the price of it.

The owner of the restaurant is a Phillipine lady who had stayed in Malaysia for 25 years.

While we are having our sweet time with our meal, Dennis ( our mentor ) shared with us regarding the human life's clock.

It sounds like below:

20 years old - 11:08 am
25 years old - 12:25 pm
30 years old - 1:25 pm
35 years old - 2:59 pm
40 years old - 4:16 pm
45 years old - 5:43 pm
50 years old - 6:50 pm
55 years old - 8:08 pm
60 years old - 10:11 pm
Above 70 years old, approaching midnight.

Thank God that for me, the night is still young and there is a lot more time for me to run the race.

Now while we are discussing this topic, a waiter ( I supposed the owner's husband ) approached us regard what we are talking about.

After we showed him, he told us that he is in traffic jam category. We all stunt for a while, then realized that he is referring to 5:43 pm ( 45 years old ).

We all laugh aloud that it is really a traffic jam hour. Not only in the real world context, but in the life's goal context, a lot of people is facing the challenge of traffic jam.

With an age of above 40, it is a new beginning of our lifetime. It is the second half for us to fulfill something in our life. It is a turning point for us to change whatever is inappropriate previously. It is a platform for us to jump higher.

Some of us until this age had already passed certain stage to the destination, avoid from getting stuck on the traffic, ready to the next destiny.

Some of us might get stuck in the middle of the traffic jam, can't turn back, can't reach to the destiny. It really STUCKED!!!

40 years old is a crucial point for us.
It maybe ours starting point for something remarkable and significance.
It maybe a point where we put a full stop.
It also a turning point for us towards our destiny without seeing our past failure.

It is all depend on our attitude.
But the most important is, the attitude of letting God to direct intervene in our life, where we decrease and Jesus increase more and more in our life.

We found this small studio which I mentioned in the previous post.

We had roughly tested the sound system of it. It is pretty good. Most important, it is new compare with the other studio where we used to go frequently last time.

Nowaday kinda hard for us to get together for jamming due to work and some member had left us. But the heart of music within us will not die, that will continue to Rock 'n Roll.

I'm thinking to engage the remaining member and invite some youth that we had been train past few months to join us for the jamming.

I think is a good platform for both party,

For us, it will lead us back to the passion of jamming together among the band member.

For youth, it will be a different place and environment to expose them and nurture them for how to get together in music.

Hope we can turn it on.

I found this old friend from a unique store which I mentioned in previous post.

He is the electric guitar version of the same series as my bass guitar, Ibanez Roadstar II.
The colour is gorgeous, in vintage style. Surely an old buddy due to the manufaturing year.

A Treasure Hunting

A Treasure Hunting
Originally uploaded by vandcooler

This is a place full of treasure where I found when Rick and I went here looking for a help from a guitar techman to save the life of a guitar, after it fell down and broke its neck.

The owner is called John, whom I bought my "antique" (1982 made) bass guitar from. He is a talented skilled young man expertised in guitar tech. I rather label him as a young entrepreneur because the business that he is doing, the market that he is targeting is very niche. And yet, he got the vision and passion. I still remember the first time I met him, during that time he run his business in his home. I can feel the fire is burning within his heart when he shared with me.

Thanks God that he owned a shop now, pursuing his dream. He sell vintage guitar, amp, all kinda gear, and also running a band room for people to jam music, music lesson. He also customize and create his own signature guitar. Wow, this is awesome.

Ya, everyone of us have a dream in his or her heart, at least have had a dream. We are born with certain talents, and we have passion about doing it.

But the problem is not many of us know our dream. Not all of us acknowledge our dream.
What is dream and vision?

Simple word,

"Vision is seeing the invisible and making it visible."

I strongly agreed this statement.
For John Sculley said,"The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious."

For God said,
"We live by faith, not by sight."
-2 Cor 5:7

But the fact is, we are so used to the environment that tend to mold and shape us to think base on the circumstances. We were so easily loose our dream, vision and passion.

The cost of life is the major fact that pull us down, because money is the key factor to maintain daily life, this is so called "reality". And when deal with dream, it is always linked with "unrealistic".

I'm used to be the dreadful person, dead by dream and vision. For the past few years, I'm living my life without a dream, I mean the dream that I really passionate about.

But thank God that He found me back, and j found my true identity in Him. By His grace, love and power, I'm now pursuing my dream, which something dealing with music, art and teaching. I really got a lot of resources and networks that God had put in my way within this 2 years, to enable me to pursuing my dream, for Him.

Sooner or later, I'd learnt that when we had captured the vision, we must find ways to handle it, to communicate with people.
We need to,
"see it clearly"
"show it creatively"
"say it constantly"

Basically, John did inspired me a lot for what he is doing now.

We need to be the DREAM CATCHER.
In order for that, we need to be the RISK TAKER, because we know that we become failure when we fail to take risks.

Treasure hunting is excited, hunt for the talent inside of us and hunt for the treasure lie behind of it.

Our Beloved Indian Friend

Finally I got a chance to make sure myself waiting here for the car to get clean. Is been quite some time I didn't get my car to be clean.

Thanks a lot to the lovely Indian car cleaner.
Regarding our Indian friend, I have some words about them. We've been calling them "Keling" since our grandparent generation without knowing the meaning behind this calling, at least I used to be one of those.

In order to know this, we need to track back to the history of Malaysia, where when the time the Indian was introduce by the Great British to this land. During that time, they were introduced as the rubber estate worker and railway track worker. A lot of them also become the slave for the upper level of society. And to avoid them to runaway, the introduction of metal chain was put on their legs. Now, when they walking with the metal chain on their legs, it will sound " kling......kling......kling......"

So, sooner or later, we, especially Chinese call them "Keling", due to the sound when they made when walking.

Now the problem is, a lot of us are still calling them as "Keling", which actually are making shame of them base on their slavery tragic history without our knowledge. I'm not sure the later generation of Indian friend know about this or not, but I'm sure that for the older generation, they will not happy about this calling, because of this will remind them about the painful history.

Actualy I used to calling them as "Keling" as well, but when the time I get to knew this, I told myself I need to change, for the sake of respect and love upon them.

Ya, honestly I do not like some of them due to some reason, especially the body odor. But God love everyone, included them, our beloved Indian friend. I learnt to love them by showing respect and understanding to them.

"Loving a comfort and lovely thing only is not a true love."

" TRUE LOVE is loving somebody, or something which you are not comfortable with, can't withstand, or even hate of."

At least this is what I'd learnt after going through some circumtances and hard time.

The True Leadership Must Take Place.

2008-09-26T22:59:00.003+08:00

3:45 p.m.

Just now I'm just met with some secondary student from a school at Puchong Wawasan. The purpose I met them is to lay some foundation into their life before I start a program with them.

What I can see into them is the potential of being the future leader in this land. In fact not only them, I strongly believe that all the youth have the potential to being the leader if they found their destiny, the purpose of life, their talents, weaknesses......etc.

We are called to be leader. We born to be leader. But don't get me wrong that the leadership that I'm talking about is not what we were so used to it that, it is not about power to command, control, and manipulate, not about age and experience, not about corporate position, not about societal status, not about fame. Just not only this. All these that I mentioned is just part of it, in fact it is not the important part of leadership.

The true leadership is about influence, which rooted in LOVE to bring people to the right direction of their life.

"True leadership must be for the BENEFIT of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders."

Leadership, is a matter of:
You see the need,
You take the lead.
To serve the need,
To fulfill the purpose of the need.

In this context, leadership is about the heart of "to serve", and not "to be serve".
A leader, he will serve the needs of others, and he love to. He will serve the purpose of others, helping others to fulfill the purpose.

"It's not enough to finish the race yourself. To be successful, you must take somebody with you across the finish line." John C. Maxwell

We need people with strong leadership, in our family, in our society, in our land. We need them to penetrate into every layer of the society: family, business, government, media, art & entertainment, education.
For the better future, is not only depends on the next generation, it is a combination between the older generation and the new generation that will yield good result.
We need restoration and reconciliation to the generation gab.

True leadership is crucial for us.

Fruitful Day

2008-09-25T01:39:00.003+08:00

1:25 a.m.

Today is a fruitful day for me.
God is always good, all the time.
By God's empowerment of the spirit of creativity, I had finished the multimedia video in 2 days.

This is something remarkable for me myself, cause this time I'm just got the idea and resource in one day, then work it into video in 1 day. It is a breakthrough for myself cause previously I'm totally blank in idea, though I had given 1 week to finish it.

I knew this is simply the creativity from the Lord, for I seek from Him regards this, and He gave me what I asked, according to His time, way, and will.

He lead me how to use simple and limited resource, to create a video that will inspired others, will made them feel awesome and touch. And my client feel that I really should go further for film production due to my talent (I have no professional training).
Well, this remind me about my passion, dream and vision. Thank you God for you working in me.

I'm happy and joy for this, and yet more to the work of the Lord through me to bless others.

Glory to the Lord.

China Student in Malaysia

I'm just got a chance to sitting down, settling myself in front of God.

God is great, and He's always a lovely Father that treat us so good. At least for what I knew through the testimony from this few lovely China student.

They are currently studying in UCSI, Cheras. Some of them had been saved by Lord, some are not, yet. But they had a opened heart to the Lord God, for this is needed by the Lord. Of course God chose us first, but He need us to respond by CHOICE, either choose to believe or not, choose to open the door to the Lord or not.

Everyone of us is living our life by choice. We choose to or not to, even choose not to, by itself is a choice and decision as well.

Christianity is a matter of relationship. A relationship between us and our Father. To enable the relationship to take place, it need us to open our heart first, same to the normal social relationship. Once we open our heart to Father, He Himself will lead us to know about Him, Holy Ghost will start working inside of us.

Ya, relationship is a matter of choice.
To love is a matter of choice.
To care is a matter of choice.
To believe is a matter of choice.
God given us free will to choose, to choose to go back to Him, or choose to ignore Him. He won't force us, because He is the God of Freedom, true freedom.

Thank God that when I called upon the China student unbeliever after I shared with them, they willing to receive Lord into their heart and life, to let God teach them how to know more about God Himself. By the prayer that I'd lead them to pray, God will make a way in their life, because this is the promises by God.

"seek and you will find"

"knock and the door shall open to you"

There is nothing for God can't do.

God can't do 1 thing, HE CAN'T BREAK HIS PROMISES.

Of course we need to pray for their life, for the principalities of dark forces will try to capture them. But Jesus came to set the captive free.

Thank you Maro for giving us the chance to meet and fellowship with all the China student.

Glory to the Lord.

Across The Universe

2008-09-24T11:58:00.003+08:00

Across The Universe,它是披头四的其中一首经典名曲，它也是Julie Taymore 的最新力作，一套因应披头四的歌曲而启发灵感的一套音乐电影。非常庆欣这套电影出现在马来西亚的荧幕上，这要感谢别具慧眼的电影代理商。可惜的是这套电影在大马可说是乏人问津，与我同座的观众也才寥寥十多位，并且有好几位还中途离场呢。这真不知如何说起，那么别具匠心的一套音乐电影，那么细腻的镜头与剧情铺陈，30 多首动听的歌曲，新鲜耐看的脸孔，隐藏在后对社会各现象的探讨，难道就比不上一般的爱情+动作+喜剧，爆破连场，上天下海的商业电影值得停留我们的眼目？我不懂。至少里头穿插的重新编曲与演绎的30多首经典名曲就值回票价。

电影的配乐堪称一绝，全都是披头四歌曲的旋律，每首歌曲也都穿插得恰到好处，都能切合当时的主题与情景，听起来别有一番风味。好比 Let It Be 这首歌穿插在枪林弹雨而动荡的暴动市区，一位黑人小孩坐在街旁唱起这首歌，无奈与绝望的眼神，悲呛的编曲,唱着 Let It Be, 似在控诉这战争的无情，也在呐喊着万念俱灰的心情----算了吧。哦，原来这首歌也可以带给我们这样的情感，这可真是意想不到。里头所有重新编曲的歌，诸如哀怨的 I Want To Hold Your Hand, 悲愤的 Across The Universe, 雀跃奔放的 It Won't Be Long, 孤独而压郁的 Strawberry Fields, 颓废放肆的 With A Little Help From My Friends, 温情思念的 Hey Jude, 爱与恨相互矛盾的 Oh Darling 等等，都大大的颠覆了这些歌一贯的情感与意境。

选角方面也非常的出色。在我看来，里头所有主要的角色都具代表性。男主角Jude 深眸忧郁又浪漫的气质，仿佛看到披头四另一灵魂人物---Paul McCartney 的影子。女主角 Lucy 清新甜美又具时代社会的气质，Lucy 的哥哥 Max 颓废奔放而又重情谊的气质，仿佛看到 Nirvana 已故主音 Kurt Cobain 的灵光再现，还有流浪不羁满腹理想的黑人吉他手JoJo(从他身上了解到所谓吉他灵魂论)，吉普赛式思想敢做敢为的女歌手 Sadie，以及纯情可爱寻找被爱被肯定的亚裔越南小女子 Prudence.

故事剧情的主线是爱情，铺以人生的际遇，理想与社会的冲突，也带出了 60 年代动荡暴乱不安的社会层面，战争的无情，民权运动的解放，同性恋与嬉皮士文化的发展，各种所谓新世纪灵魂觉醒运动的萌芽期，在在地让我们重温一次文化大杂烩，消化与否就见仁见智了。
总而言之，这是 2007 年不可错过的作品。喜欢音乐，艺术，尤其是披头四的朋友，千万莫放过。

Let It Be...Let It Be.....
Let It Be...Oh....Let It Be......
Whisper words of wisdom.....
Let It Be.....
战争的无情对比小孩的无奈痛苦。
曲目：Let It Be

Max 与一众美国大兵背着自由女神像。
控诉大美国主义导致美国公民沉重又悲呛的负担。
自由与民主的代价？欢乎？悲乎？

仿效披头四 John Lennon 在天台演唱的一幕
也是男主角 Jude 向 Lucy 表达情感的一幕

病态的“铁三角”

2008-09-24T11:57:00.002+08:00

铁三角，顾名思义，超强的要素分占三方相互抗衡与辅助。

三位香港当代影业的贡献者------杜大导，徐大导，林大导。

杜某独特的宿世论与江湖社会观的结合。

徐某超尘脱俗的奇情武侠观与绮丽鬼魅的鬼怪观。

林某别富张力的暴力美学观。

三位独占一方的导演，三位别具风格的演员，再加上很多的绿叶演员，为我们上演了一场极尽放肆，疯狂，玩味，爽快的戏幕。

友人问我观后感，我说感觉上像被高人大大地玩弄了一番，而且被戏弄得很爽快。咦，怎么搞得我好像蛮病态的！

是的，病态是我对这部作品的最佳诠译。

故事围绕着三位主人翁，透过寻宝作套引，进而带出人性的贪念，痴念，逃避过去伤害的软弱，信任与怀疑之间的冲突，一事无成的彷徨，当然少不了人性的美善，知足美德等等。

三个主菜，佐以配料，再以三昧真火文武火催化，一煲五味杂陈的人生杂锦面世了。

有人吃得津津有味，有人食之无味；

有人食而不得其味，有人避而其味。

吾则食之甘味。

循娱乐与艺术的角度，我很享受，很玩味。

循人性的角度，却不得不悲哀与担忧。

戏里头充满着病态的张力。

古天乐的不踏实市井小人物挣扎求生而又不失良善孝顺的两极面。

任达华的老成持重，内敛抗郁实则暴力张狂而又不失关爱知足的两极面。

孙洪雷的高深莫测，执著任意而又不失在紧要关头大彻大悟，悬崖勒马的智慧。

这不就是人性吗？说真的，边看我的心就愈沉重。

现今的社会莫不如此吗？

每位都仿佛化身戏里的其中一位，都在歇斯底里的生活。

哪怕你是为钱财，为权利，为事业，为“爱-情”，都在歇斯底里似的挣扎求生。

今生的骄傲（权力，名声，地位，金钱）

眼目的情仇（爱情，友情，仇恨敌人等等）

有没有发觉人人都病了。

这个社会病了。

国家病了。

全球都病了。

病，并不是肉体的病。

病，乃是心灵的病，那才是最要命的。

我时常在祷告，愿神的灵大大运行在全地全人上，更新我们的灵，医治我们心灵的创伤。

始终人被造乃是完美的，有属神的形象。

只是仇敌撒旦蒙蔽了我们的心眼，用各种物质情欲麻木了我们。

我不是说物质情欲享受不好，我还很喜欢呢!

只是在于别本末倒置，别被它所控制而失去了原先的美善。

我们有盼望，因着神是信实的。

他来临并再次掌权的日子将近（别用人的有限科学时间论来推算）

理想乌托邦将再次重现。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P/S: 以上纯碎个人感受但绝无胡言乱语。明白真相的大有人在，不明不白不清不楚的有一天也会明白，只是希望不会太迟。我常祷告祝福你们。

Christ The Solid Rock
Originally uploaded by vandcooler

Currently is 19th Sept 08, 1:30am in the morning. It is really early morning while I'm just got back from Puchong.

It is kinda fruitful day for me. Rev Titus and me had visited brother Lim in Klang. We had a sweet time with him and his new married wife. Of course the main thing is we would like to help him to set up an family altar that will use by God, for the purpose of transformation thru his clinic. 2nd thing is to equip him, develop him and nurture him with the word of God, lead him to lay foundation on Christ the Solid Rock. 3rd thing is we want to lead his wife to Christ as well. Thanks God that she is openning her heart to the Lord, that she had invite Jesus as her Lord. But when the time we lead her to pray for set apart from the previous idol worship, she refuse. We knew that this is the manifestation work of the evil force. We need Holy Spirit to confront with it. But at least she had invite Jesus into her life, the rest God will make His way.

Just now, IGnite worship team have had a wonderful sweet time communion with Lord, and I strongly believe Lord had given us the authority to take and dominion the mountain that we suppose to be in it, by the faith inside us, throughout proclaimation from mouth. Rick and me believe that our IGnite team member had already got the vision that Lord put in their heart, which is the same that He put in Rick and my heart.

Thank you God, that we are more than able, not because we are, but You made us more beyond than that.

The Future Leader Who Will Stand for Christ

2008-07-25T20:56:00.002+08:00

Above are the youth leaders we are trying to nurture and equip for the Lord our God. They are just some of them. Though they are still young and there is a lot more got to be improve by God in term of attitude, thought, spiritual mindset. But they have a passionate heart to Jesus and willing to know more and growing in Christ. They love God. I love God. Because God first love us. I ask Father in Jesus name to lead me to love them little by little daily. Love & Blessing, Stephen Ho from iPhone

今朝的异梦

2008-07-25T17:08:00.006+08:00

今天早上，我相信我又从领受了新的异象。

为什么我这么说呢？因为当我从梦中醒来过后，那梦境还是如此的清晰。

那时是凌晨 4 a.m.

跟之前的情况非常相向，只是这一次的比较早。（以前的都在凌晨5 至6 点之间）
而且醒来过后久久不能入睡，以前的也是这样。
我可以感受到圣灵要我祷告，读经，花时间寻求神。

我都照做了。

我暂时得不到任何清晰的答案，只是自己在灵里确认了一些看法。

梦境是这样的。。。。。。

—————————————————————————————————————

那时我是一个人的。实际上我不是一个人。

因为我仿佛在等待着一帮人。他们在另一头的地方。
感觉上他们都是很要好，很亲的一帮人。（这里指的并不是亲戚）

突然间，我发现洪水铺天盖地而来。

这是我就立刻逃到一栋房子的前面。
洪水非常的急，水势奔流狂泻，是汹涌澎湃。
水流也一直不断地从房子里涌出来。
可奇怪的是，它就是没能淹没站在房子前面得我。

我很焦急，也很担忧那帮我在等待的亲人。

就这样过不久，洪水开始退潮。

这时从房子里头跑出了一位年轻的小伙子。

他的手里握着一条电缆。快步涉水而来。
当然行动因为水势还很急而变得不顺畅。
他历经辛苦把那条电缆拖出来。然后把它套在屋前呈 Y 型的电杆上。
这是我发觉那条电缆非常地纤细，就像细绳子一样。
于是我立刻把它在电杆上再围多一圈。

然后我跟那位小伙子一起把电杆立起来，就立在房子前面。

————————————————————————————————————

梦境就到这儿醒过来了。过后我花了接近一小时的时间祷告，读经，寻求神。

我得出这样的推敲：

1. 洪水 = cleansing?? Spiritually or physically??

Authority??
Power?? 如果是能力，什么能力??
2. 亲人 = 团队?
3. 房子 = 我们的灵，魂，体的状况??
Ministry??
Society?? Body of Christ??
4. 年轻小伙子 = New generation??
Youth??
5. 很细的电缆 = ??

The Eye of Malaysia

2007-11-24T13:16:00.002+08:00

The Eye of Malaysia.

That have you ever think of His true purpose, instead of being one of the traveling point for the foreigner?

He is, always one of the awesome view for me, for the very first time I be there.
That make me think that how beautiful is Malaysia.
That remind me a lot of negative voice regard Malaysia, either from my beloved fellow friends or others, keep on complaining/criticizing about the politic system, infrastructure, the urban city planning, education system, corruption issue among the governor or judge officer bla...bla...bla......etc.

That make me feel like if we complain more, the more you will see the improvement. But the fact is, people tend to complain/criticize with their mouth, but without any action.

But when ask them is there anyway to change or bring transformation to all these issue, people will say,"No use lar, is like that already,","No hope la!","I am nobody to make changes." bla...bla...bla......etc. All kinds of excuses.

That people seldom think that actually we can make the changes, for sure, at least start from ourselves.

That we will start refuse to pay any "coffee money" to the officer when we get caught due to fault driving. (corruption)

That we will pay for the outdoor parking fees no matter we park in a short while. (dishonesty)

That we will pay the summon or compound to the local authority.(disobedience to the law, law offenses)

That we will stop purchasing all the pirated CD/DVD.(stealing others property of knowledge)

All these are the examples that we, actually are getting involved in corruption, dishonesty, unrighteousness, cheating, stealing......etc all sort of wicked activities.

And yet we blame the intranperancy of judges system, critic the law officer receiving bribes......etc

Yes it is small little tiny things, but don't you think all the great nasty bad people appealed in press, was started their "career" with a small wicked thought.

Yes, I do believe we can change the nation, start from us, as an individual.
Because a great nation form by a great society, a great society is form by many great family, a great family is form by many individual, a great individual is growth and develop by the attitude,

Attitude of honest
Attitude of righteousness
Attitude of excellence
Attitude of generous
Attitude of "to love"

夕阳无限好

夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏。

此时良辰美景，莫不叫人心往神之。

就在这一刻，心情是何等地轻松。

当我在赞美神赐予我奇妙恩典的一天的当下，

眼前的光景大大的吸引了我。虽然只是一幕再普通不过的夕照，

但吸引我的可是造物主对我们的恩典与慈爱，所以立刻把它抓进镜头。

他创造了光的源头----太阳。

给于我们一切生存的条件。

神自己就是那----光。

摄影初哥

2007-11-02T15:08:00.002+08:00

最近我开始踏入摄影这一个领域，这是我多年来很想做的事情，但基于种种的情况，唯有把它搁置一旁。但是感谢神，这不再是空想的事情了。 Nikon D40 DSLR 是我的入门相机。经过了种种的调查与咨询，才决定把它纳入我的“老婆”清单（第一个是Yamaha Acoustic Guitar,第二个是 1983 Ibanez Roadstar II Vintage Bass Guitar)。它的确是一部非常棒的入门 DSLR 相机，适合像我这种初哥，也适合一些amateur or semi pro. 简单来说，握在手上的手感很好，大小适中。外形设计偏向简洁美观，2.5寸的显示荧幕也够大。它也配合我这种初哥配有自动对焦，自动调整arperture, ISO, shutter speed等等的功能，当然它也容许手动调整，非常方便。再配合最普遍的18mm-55mm 镜头，基本上你可以把很多美丽的景物一一摄入镜头里。相机里头也附有简单的图像处理功能，让你能预先编辑你所拍的图像。总之就是，赞！！我的下一个目标是为它配备一个 18mm-200mm 的镜头，但可不便宜，唯有耐心等待。以下是我的第一次的作品，愿与大家分享。

从来没有想过普通杂草枯叶也可以如此艳丽动人。

从构图角度来看尚算满意，但是感觉到曝光度还是太多了。

我有喜乐！！

有没有留心察觉我们一早醒来过后的心思意念的状况是如何的？是否开心？悲哀？精神抖擞？还是意兴阑珊？我们每天醒来过后的精神状况是非常重要的，它往往主宰着我们一天的生活流程。也许昨晚开通宵导致隔晨精神不振，或者与伴侣小俩口闹情绪，也许还有很多个也许，永无止尽。但都不能让他，她或它影响我们当下的心思意念。

我们都有选择，太多的选择。我们要如何开始一天的生活，在于我们的选择。别被不必要得藉口蒙蔽我们，以致打乱了生活的脚步。我宁愿选择以喜乐来迎接每一天。

我有喜乐，是因为前方有太多的不定数，很多的拦阻与挑战在等着我，准备给我来一下迎头痛击。我有喜乐，是因为有很多的机会让我去经历神，信靠神来把所有的困难，挑战一一征服，彰显神大能的荣耀。喜乐并不是在当你一切都顺意的东西，真正的喜乐，是在你历经重重困苦与艰难时，你还能开怀并欣喜地一一度过的东西。唯有在黑暗的最尽处，你才能感觉到亮光的真正明美与希望。

但要做到这点谈何容易呢？是的，无可否认是很难，过去我也只会逃避。但就正如我之前所说的，这是一个选择。当中当然也历经了很多因错误而导致的失败，也的确付出了惨痛的代价。但是感谢神的怜悯与慈爱，带领我一一的学习并征服它们。本来我不能，但是在神凡是都能。

我有喜乐！因为我选择了爱我们的神。

经历神信心的大能

2007-11-02T15:04:00.002+08:00

过去这些日子以来，我真的经历了神的信心。从人生最低潮开始才察觉神的确与我们同在，只是在于我们愿不愿意完全放下自己，摆上自身的全部，让神来作生命的掌舵。我发觉一旦我们愿意顺服，谦卑，并且踏出信心的一步，无论前景如何，只要单单信靠神，那么接着就会经历神的大能。诚然，这边说的不是相信而不去行动，乃是信靠神而行动。过去与神同行的经历是我毕生难忘的，从中我大概理出了一些心得。

信心（Faith） = 心思上的层面（意念，意识）

相信（Believe）= 行动上的层面（身体力行）

信心，是第一步，先要在心思意念的层面上完全被主更新，要完全放下自己，让神介入在我们的里面来工作，正如新酒要装在新皮袋。要在思想上跟上主的意念，正如做任何事要先有计划。无可否认，我们这些作主门徒的都对神有某种程度的信心。但是很多时候我们却不大能，或不敢相信神在我们身上的作为。所以接着我们要跟进-------付诸行动。信心（Faith）是名词，相信（Believe）是动词。我们口里说相信神，所以我们就要付诸行动。执行力（Execution）能带出神信心的大能，因为我们的神是信实的神，在他没有新事或难事。我们要相信并活出我们对神的信念。

信心 = Concept, Idea
+
相信 = Execution
+
忍耐 = Consistency （持久力）, Persistency （频率）

信心 + 相信 + 忍耐 = 丰盛的生命，属灵的成功

（信心 + 相信 + 忍耐）才能确保我们能无时无刻行在神信心与公义的道路上。义人必因信得救。信心不是靠自己鼓动起来的，也不是在聚会里高声呐喊的东西，信心乃是当地狱的权势都被释放出来在我们周围，我们依然能静默并单单抓住神，直到度过危险。唯有在黑暗的最深处，才能显出神的荣光是何等地荣耀明美。要做到这点，我们要不停思考神的应许，圣经的经文，想像在属天的领域，回想神所有美好的恩典，常常心存感恩与赞美，多方的祷告与持守，时常宣告神的话语，那就能释放出属天的信心。

世事有完美乎？

2007-07-25T18:21:00.004+08:00

世事有完美乎？
不完美之事何其多？完美的则少矣！
当以完美的眼观看不完美之事，完美之心去度不完美的人．
那则事事尽善尽美矣！
这并不是自欺欺人之行为．
诚然，乃是以宽容与豁达之心待事处人．
所谓有容乃大，爱人如己．
完美的事物只能远观，只能憧憬．
如雾里看花，昙花一现．
始于此，终于此，瞬息弹指间，踏雪无痕．
不完美的事物总有一种醉人之美．
那是遗憾美．
它总能让人细细品味，声声叹息．
总能让人难以忘怀，不能自己．
它是如此的平实，如此的真挚．
它总能让人有种思念，如山溪淙淙而流，时缓时急．
又如一面平湖，无数大小涟漪相竞美．
又如清风拂柳，柳枝摇曳多姿．
世事尽是不完美乎？

天下事有难易乎?

2007-07-25T18:20:00.002+08:00

天下事有难易乎?
为之,则难者亦易矣；不为，则易者亦难矣．
世上真的没有分艰难或容易的事．
其实难易并不在乎事物，乃是在于心．
以埋怨的心，苦毒的心，惧怕的心去面对事物，
那么再容易的则变成艰难．
反之，以宽容的心，乐观的心，自信的心去面对，
那则难者亦易矣．
很多时候，我们都会面对一些闻所未闻的挑战，
也就在这当儿，人们都会不由自主地陷入一种恐惧中，
这是不容置疑的事实．
只是这时候我们有两种选择．
其一，让这恐惧的心理如恶魔般吞噬你的心智，完全不作出任何的抵抗，任由它占据我们．
其二，重整旗鼓，鼓起勇气，勇于向恐惧的恶魔发出攻击．所谓人定胜天，人的潜能是无限大的，超出想象的．
两种选择，两种结果．
无论如何，这都是人为的，都是单单靠自己的．
背后隐藏的动机，不外乎归荣耀于自己，自我中心，自我膨胀．
这是个事实，很多人不察觉，不承认，也不接受．
因为人终究是自我的．（当然我也不幸免）
也因为这个自我，自我表现导致我们与神分离．
把原本神赐给我们更好更大的荣耀丢弃，
却抱着自我的，更小更微不足道的荣耀死去．
死在永恒里．
死，难乎？易乎？

爱的故事

2007-07-25T18:19:00.001+08:00

一天早晨，我早早醒來去看日出。
啊！神的創造之美遠遠超過人所能描述的。我觀看時，我為主美麗的創造之工而讚美。我坐在那兒，感到主與我同在。
祂問我：“你愛我嗎？”
我答道：“當然了，我的神！你是我的主我的救贖者。”
祂又問我：“如果你身體有殘疾，是否仍舊愛我？”
我有些糊塗。我低頭看看我的胳膊、腿和其它部分，我懷疑有多少事我本以為是理所當然的卻會因此不能做到。
但我還是回答說：“主啊，這是很難的，但我仍舊愛你。”
主接著問我：“如果你是瞎眼的，你仍愛我的創造之物嗎？”
我該如何去愛那些我無法看見的東西呢？然而我又想到世上那些失明的人們，他們中間有多少人仍愛著神和的創造之物。於是我回答說：“想起來很難，但主啊，我還是願意愛你。”
主又問我：“如果你是一個聾子，你是否仍願意聽我的話語？”
耳聾的如何能夠聽見呢？然而我明白了。聽神的話語並不僅僅用我們的耳朵而是用我們的心。我回答說：“主啊，會很難，但我願意聽你的話語。”
然後主問我：“如果你是一個啞巴，你是否仍願意讚美我的名？”
沒有聲音我如何能讚美呢？然而一句話啟示了我：神希望我們從心底和靈魂的最深處發出讚美，並不在乎我們的聲音如何。於是我回答說：“即使我不能發聲，我仍將讚美你的名。”
主又問我：“你真的愛我嗎？”
帶著勇氣和信心，我大膽地回答說：“是的主啊！我愛你是因為你是那唯一的真神。” 我想我已經回答得很好了，但是……
神問我：“那麼為甚麼你還犯罪？”
我回答說：“因為我是人，我不完全。”
“那為甚麼在平安無事的時候你迷失得那麼遠？在遭遇難處的時候你又那麼殷勤地禱告？”
沒有回答，有的只是眼淚……
主又繼續問我：“為甚麼你只在團契和奮興會中歌唱？為甚麼你只在敬拜的時候尋求我？為甚麼你每次都如此自私地求？為甚麼你求的時候沒有信心？”
我的眼淚順著我的脖子繼續往下流……
“為甚麼你以我為羞恥？為甚麼你不傳福音？為甚麼在遭受逼迫的時候，你不靠著我的肩膀去哭泣卻去靠著人？為甚麼我給你機會去為我的名服事的時候，你總是找借口？”
我嘗試著去回答，但卻無言以對。
“你的生活如此蒙祝福。是我不讓你把如此好的禮物扔掉。我保守你擁有聰明才智是為了讓你服事我，但你卻繼續逃離我。我用我的話語啟示你，但你卻不在知識上有長進。我向你講話，但你的耳朵卻閉著。我把我的祝福傾注在你的身上，但你的眼目卻離開這祝福。我派使者幫助你，但你卻懶散地坐著把他們趕跑。我聽了你的禱告並都作了回答，你卻未曾有過感恩……”
主再一次問我：“你真的愛我嗎？”
我無法回答。我該如何回答呢？我在信仰上是如此的羞愧。我別無借口。我能說些甚麼呢？我的心開始哭泣，淚水湧出來，我說：“主啊，求你能饒恕我。我不配作你的孩子。”
主回答說：“那是我的恩典，孩子。”
我問道：“那麼你為甚麼一再原諒我呢？為甚麼你如此愛我？”
主答道：“因為你是我所創造的，你是我的孩子。我永遠不會撇棄你。當你哭泣的時候，我憐憫你，我與你一同哭泣。當你高興的時候，我與你一同歡樂。無論發生甚麼事，我都一直在你身邊，只是你自己沒有注意到而已。”
我想說話，可是淚水模糊了我的雙眼，在主面前，我無言以對……

上钢琴课

2007-07-25T18:18:00.001+08:00

一個母親為著鼓勵她的兒子在彈鋼琴上的學習﹐她就帶他去一位著名鋼琴家的音樂會。當他們正在坐下的時候﹐這位母親發現在觀眾裡有一個相熟的朋友﹐於是便馬上走過去打招呼。
小孩見到有機會可以在音樂廳到處逛逛﹐就離開他的座位﹐直至見到面前有一扇關上的門﹐上面寫著“閒人免進”。當廳裡的燈光變暗音樂會快要開始的時候﹐母親回到她的座位﹐那時卻發現不見了她的兒子。　
台上的幕打開了﹐射燈照著台上的鋼琴。突然﹐母親發現到自己的兒子正坐在鋼琴座上﹐天真的彈“閃閃小星”。那時大家專敬的鋼琴家已經出場﹐他很快走到鋼琴旁邊﹐他低聲對小孩說﹕「繼續彈﹐不要停。」
然後﹐這位鋼琴家彎著腰﹐用他的左手彈低音那部份﹐又很快他的右手繞在小孩的右邊﹐開始彈高音那部份。一齊兩人將一個緊張的情景變成一個美妙而有創意的經驗。
神與我們的關係也是一樣。我們所能做到的微不足道。盡了自己全部的力量﹐最後結果也不一定流順悅耳。但是有了主的幫助﹐我們的生命就變得美妙豐盛。下一次你有甚麼大的挑戰﹐先用你的耳朵細聽﹐主會低聲跟你打氣﹕「不要放棄﹐繼續努力吧﹗」用你的心來感受他的擁抱﹐你知道﹐他一雙強壯的手正為你彈你生命的樂章哪﹗
不要忘記﹐主並不呼召那些已經預備好的﹐他預備他所呼召的。他一定會愛你和領導你做更大的事。保守你的信心﹐繼續彈你的樂章。主與你一齊必定可以創造美妙的音樂。

很多时候我们都会靠着自己去面对很多的人生挑战。所谓人定胜天，夸父追日，在在的表现出人类天生不认输的潜能。当然，这种精神是值得效仿的。但人始终是人，没有人能够把自己排除在错误中，而可悲的是人往往错而不知，知而不改，改而不得其所。
过去的经验告诉我，与其单单靠自己，倒不如把它交给主。让他来分担，给于提示。因为唯有主知道我的优缺点。感谢您，我的神。

天国的祝福

2007-07-25T18:16:00.004+08:00

“晓隆......No more suffer......！”
“回到天父的身边不是很好吗？”
“晓隆......No more suffer......！” 父亲哽咽地对他说。
就这样，心电图从有心脉跳动的迹象，慢慢地归于零。
围在他身边的是最敬爱的父母亲，兄弟以及亲戚。
还有趴在床上，几乎已哭成泪人的挚爱-------他的未婚妻。
还有一位拼命在为他祷告的基督徒。
这一切都尽入我的眼帘，莫不让人心酸。
他------张晓隆
就这样，在经过七个月血癌的摧残下，结束了短短但光辉的 27 年。
我的心情何尝平静？简直是情绪波动，思潮反复。
我与晓隆只有一面之缘，友情谈何之有呢？
但就在那一天，有股莫名的感动驱使我去探望病情已危在旦夕的他。
也许是天意吧？
我的心是激动的。但有一种平安与欣喜。
因为他虽然离开了这个大千世界。
但我懂得他的归处是肯定的，是令人振奋的。
他留下的也许是很多的遗憾，但更多的是鼓励，祝福与回忆。
肯定的，他的精神永存在每一位亲人，朋友的心深处。
虚空的虚空，虚空的虚空，凡是虚空。
人生在世，辗转之间，转头一场空。
我们应该去珍惜身边所拥有的一切。
一切都不是偶然的，也不是理所当然的。要惜福，惜缘。
莫待万事惧灰空悲切。
悄悄来而悄悄去，挥一挥衣裳，不带走一片云彩何其美。
但留取丹青照汗青岂不更壮丽。
朋友，把握当下，珍惜眼前。
君不知祸福何时临，唯有努力把每一天活出精彩才是正道。
每当我们想放弃时，抚心自问，默祷倾听。
那来自天国的鼓励，祝福与安慰。
一切未为迟，但求我们还有一口气在。
昨日已逝去，明日未可知，成败得失的关键就在今天的坚持。
朋友，让我们好好活出每一天。
P/S:他没能等到与陈奕迅再想见的约定，世事无常定。至少在有生之年得与仰慕的
人物想见，总算不枉。

主给我的备忘录

2007-07-25T18:16:00.003+08:00

最近无意中读到一篇文章，看了不禁发人省思，尤其是基督徒。
那是一封备忘录，来自天国的讯息。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
收件人﹕你日期﹕今天寄件人﹕老闆主題﹕你自己附註﹕生命
這是主。
今天我打算處理你所有的問題。請不要忘記我不需要你的幫助。
如果你生命裡面有一個問題你不能處理﹐就不要嘗試解決。
將它放在“等候主處理”盒裡面。我會選擇適當的時間﹐不是你﹐來處理它。你把它放進盒裡﹐就不要再拿出來。
當你碰到堵車﹐不要失望﹐在世界上很多人都沒有駛車的機會。
如果你在工作上碰到困難﹐試想想有些人已經失業多年。
不要為你在男女關係上的問題而失望﹐有一些人從來不知道愛人和被愛的滋味。
如果你很留戀剛過去那一個週末﹐想想一個在困境中的婦人﹐每週要工作七天﹐每天十二小時﹐來供養她的兒女。
如果你的車壞了﹐要你在老遠等候幫助﹐想想一些傷殘人士夢想有一個走路的機會。
你如果在鏡子留意到頭髮白了﹐想想一些經過化療的癌症病人多麼希望再有頭髮。
如果你在失望中沉思生命的意義﹐你需要感恩﹐有一些人已經沒有生存的機會。
如果你因為別人的苦毒、愚昧、小家、不安而受到傷害﹐你願意換上他們的生命嗎﹖
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
是的，我也要提醒我自己，每当在生活上遇到任何不如意时，别只会埋怨，反而要感恩。还有很多比我还惨的人，很庆幸我不在他们之中。感谢神的恩典，让我能够活在他的祝福中。
神其实时常与我们同在，看顾我们。他时常开口跟我们聊天，给我们在生活上的意见与教导。可惜的是人往往选择盖上耳朵，闭起眼睛，一切都靠自己行事。神是多么痛心啊！
神好比一位父母亲，他是如此的爱他的孩子（人类），耐心教他，疼他，供应他一切最好的。但孩子却自以为是，不听父母的管教，我行我素。试想想做人父母的遇到这样的情况是多么痛心啊！
以前我无知，不懂有一位父亲那么的爱我。至到认识了他，才发现他的确存在。每当我心里想的，跟他沟通了，他都会给我答案。他还时常看顾我，无论生活上的大小事情，他都照顾的无微不至。他太棒了。怎么以前没发觉呢？
啊，因为我也闭眼盖耳。

人生马戏团

2007-07-25T18:14:00.002+08:00

人的一生真的是非常不可思议的东西。
人与人之间的相遇，还有之后所发生的行动，
成为一个复杂的齿轮，就像是木偶一样吧！
齿轮与齿轮之间的互相纠缠，转动，互动，
从这里产生的欢喜，悲伤，争吵，和解的感情，
就像是艺人们飞舞的马戏团一样！
人的齿轮互相喀啦喀啦的转动着，
人生可能就像是在表演着一场马戏团呢！
一段感情的结束；一段友情的破裂；一场生意的失败。。。。。。
所有的人生戏码，并不会就这样结束的。
因为齿轮的转动，这一刻虽然谢幕了，
但等待在后头的却是另一段的开幕。
但，很多人往往把它看成闭幕；或中途离席；或提早退场，
并没有看下去的勇气。
这实在是太可惜了，也太可悲了。
勇气，是人生的力量啊！
君不知在勇气的背后，往往就是机会。
所谓 “山穷水尽疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”
朋友们，愿共勉之。

爱是什么；什么叫爱？
爱是怀疑？一年三百六十五天，一天二十四小时，每分每秒每刻都报告情况。夺命追魂call。爱乎？惨乎？
爱是妒嫉？有你没你，世上除了我不徐看别的女人（男人）。
爱是拥有？得不到你的心，也要得到你的人。
爱是自私？我的，是我的；你的却是我的。

爱是毁灭？亲情破灭，友情决裂，只要有你。
爱是什么；什么又是爱？
爱是包容，包容所有的缺点。
爱是祝福，祝福彼此的生活，事业等等。
爱是付出，不求回报。
爱是牺牲，燃烧自己，照亮对方。
爱是鼓励，在最失意时给予支持。
爱是成全，成人之美。
爱是坚持，等待等待再等待。
最后，爱是创造，创造正面的磁场，美满幸福的情景。
爱，是天地万物之力量所在。
爱，是人类的精神泉源。
爱是。。。。。。神
因为他对我们的爱，我们才懂爱，才会去爱，才会惜爱

爱情标点符号

2007-07-25T18:09:00.003+08:00

最近有位朋友跟我说，现在的恋爱关系已经没有所谓的天长地久。
听了不禁感慨万千。
真的，可能我有点悲观(目前是)，两个人能够在一起，真的不是必然的。
什么海誓山盟，什么爱你万年，一当爱去到尽头，一切都化为乌有，转头一场空。
以前还不能体会，但现在却身历其境。
真的有点害怕。害怕谈恋爱。
有人对我说这只是短暂性的，时间能安抚受伤的心。
我也相信，至少选择去相信。
有时在想，世间的爱真的没有永恒的吗？？
我想答案肯定是两面的；是！或不是！
可能有人会说：“不在乎地久天长，只在乎曾经拥有。”
哗！！这会不会有点不负责任呢？？
无论如何，当事情发生了，也唯有把它看作“曾经拥有”，是一个美好的回忆。
可能这样想会好过一点吧！
怪只怪自己当初不好好去珍惜，错过了才后悔莫及。悲乎？痛乎？
真的，如果现在给我一个机会的话，我会对她说：“我爱你”
如果要在这份感情上加个期限的话，我希望是一万。。。。。。。
不！不！不！这不是所谓的海誓山盟吗？没了
连我也搞不懂自己能不能，还说这些？哈哈！
之前是感叹号，问号，逗号，顿号，逗号在顿号。
后期是感叹号，问号，逗号，顿号，感叹号，问号，再省略号，最后是句号。
怎么感情都充满标点符号？？

零时四十三分

2007-07-25T17:45:00.002+08:00

零时四十三分, 原本该是休息就寝时分，但偏偏无法安眠。
人，真的是群体的生物。如果可以选择的话，人不会向往孤独。
上帝造人，原本就是成配对的。好让人不孤单，能够互相守望。
中国人有句俚语
“多一个朋友，就少一个敌人”
我想是对的。在这世上，人们的生活总免不了他人的介入。是敌是友，各安天命。
可是我很认同一个想法：
“我们身边都是些素未谋面的朋友，
“其实世间哪有陌生人？”
俗语有云：在家靠父母，出外靠朋友。
如此看来，朋友真的很重要。
但问题是，人生海海，要找到知己朋友真的看似简单，实则困难。
酒肉朋友就很容易找，多的是。但只能同富贵，不能共患难。
好朋友，当你开心时会分享你的喜悦。
好朋友，当你伤心时会分担你的痛苦。
好朋友，当你迷惘时会导你入正途。
好朋友，当你犯错时会对你能当头棒喝。
好朋友，当你不需要他时会深深祝福你。
好朋友，当你需要他时能两胁插刀，水里水里去；火里火里去。
但这样的好朋友可遇吗？可求吗？
我深信是必然的。只要我们将心比心，从己出发，放下自我，以人为本，真诚待人，别人一定会受感染。
所以，好朋友不在远方，就近在咫尺。好朋友就从我们的真心而来！
孔子先师有云：
“君子之交淡如水”
“小人之交甜如蜜”
真正的交情，清淡的，乏味如白开水；但越尝越甘甜，细水长流。
虚假的交情，甜腻的，如蜜糖；但越尝越厌腻，不能持久。
朋友们，愿共勉之。

得失，得失。。。。。

2007-07-25T17:44:00.002+08:00

得失，得失
有得必有失；有失必有得。
实在是赞叹中华文字的博大精深，
能够将一正一反的字砌成一个相辅相成的词。
另一列词是-----危机。
危机，危机
有危必有机；有机必有危。
那里有危险，就有机会潜伏在背后。
那里有机会，就有相对的危险在隐藏。
得与失, 危和机，相对而立，相辅相成，缺一不可。
危机与得失对我来说实在是感慨万分啊！！
最近发生了太多事了。
可以说是一波未停，一波又起。
在短短的一个月多，我历经了自出娘胎以来从未想过我会遇上的事。
有时候真的很希望这是一场梦；梦一回，再醒转，相安无事。
偏偏它却是像梦一般的事实。
我失去了人生最大的幸福----我的挚爱。
朋友对我说更大的幸福在后头。
但至少目前我是如此认为。
此时我才深深地体会到周星驰在电影里的那番话。
“曾经有一段最真的感情摆在我面前，我没有去珍惜，
至到它消失了才后悔莫及。
尘世间最痛苦的事莫过于此。”
人生在世，很多人（包括我）往往不会去珍惜身边所拥有的东西。
把一切都看得理所当然。甚至是必然。
但当失去了才痛彻心扉。
何必呢？何苦呢？
幸运的还能够悬崖勒马。
但世事哪能尽如人意呢？
很幸运的我虽然失去了，但也得到了更美满的幸福。
失去了世间的爱；却发觉永恒的爱。
那就是-----上帝对我们无怨无悔的爱。
一种超脱人世间，跨越恒古的真爱。
因为他的爱，使我认识自己的不足。
因为他的恩典，我才能藉着他的大能重新站起来。
感谢你，我的神。
有人跟我说：
“明天不一定会更好，但更好的明天一定会到来。”
我不肯定这句话的对与错。
我唯一肯定的是没有你神，我的明天不会有明天。
赞美你，神。
PS: 以上纯碎个人的感受，希望不会对任何人造成情绪不满。

最近看了一部电影，戏名是《童梦情缘》

个人觉得它是一部拍得非常用心的小品电影，更甚的是，

它是部港制品。最近几年都很少会进电影院选看港片，原因无他，

太多的港片都太令人失望了！！但这部《童梦》是绝对值得推荐

给大家的。本身很喜欢电影里头的一句精绝对白。那是由冯小刚大导所说的

“人生可悲的是，它不能够重来；

但人生可喜的是，它不用再重来。”

人生海海，每个人都只有那么一次机会。成败得失，喜怒哀乐，一切都只发生

在短短的岁月里。其实我们有思考过人生到底可以多长久吗？可能有人说是

一世纪，有人说是七八十岁，甚至有人说只有短短的三四十年。

可以活一世纪的是健康人瑞，

可以活七八十年的是一般普通人，

而可以活三四十年的是不幸的人。

在我看来，其实人生只有短短的三天，

昨天，今天，明天。

昨天有幸活过来了，

今天总算还活着，

明天如何还未知。

严格来说其实人生只有那么的一天，只有今天。

所以我们应当活在当下，珍惜每一分一秒。

惜缘，惜福。

忐忑不安!!!
