吉祥航空搶降 韓機長吊照 (11:34)

吉祥航空班機日前拒絕避讓險釀飛安事故，民航局公布懲處結果，吊銷韓籍機長執照。
8月13日，卡塔爾一架航班因油量不足發出求救信號，吉祥航空吉公司HO1112航班機組拒絕執行空管發出的避讓指令。

8月29日，中國民航局公布調查結果，稱吉祥航空機組嚴重違章。民航局吊銷韓籍機長執照，不允許其再以機組成員身分在中國境內運行，並通報韓國民航局。

調查報告顯示，8月13日，浦東機場因雷雨覆蓋造成上海進近管制區內20架飛機盤旋等待。

卡塔爾航空公司多哈至浦東的QR888航班在等待過程中機組報告油量緊張，申請備降虹橋機場，並在備降途中申請優先著陸，管制員隨即啟動優先落地程序，按空中流量情況對QR888航班進行了優先安排。

QR888航班機組接著報告僅有5分鐘的續航能力，（意指離剩下最後30分鐘燃油還有5分鐘），管制員立即要求空域中相關的航班進行避讓。

已建立航道的南航CZ3525航班立即做出了避讓，而正在建立航道的HO1112航班稱油量緊張拒絕執行管制員指令。

在QR888航班機組發出遇險（MAYDAY）呼叫、稱油量不足再次請求優先著陸後，管制員啟動緊急狀態下優先落地程序，再次向HO1112航班發出避讓指令，該機組仍拒絕執行指令。

在整個事件中，管制員在7分鐘時間內6次指令HO1112航班避讓，但該機組均拒絕執行。迫使管制員採取其他措施指揮QR888航班安全落地。

經查實，吉祥航空HO1112航班落地後，剩餘油量為2900公斤，根據執飛該航班的A320機型性能手冊，在保留剩餘最後30分鐘燃油情況下仍可等待飛行約42分鐘。

QR888航班落地後的剩餘油量為5200公斤，根據執飛該航班的B777-300ER機型性能手冊，在保留剩餘最後30分鐘燃油情況下仍可等待飛行約18分鐘。

目前的調查結果未發現卡塔爾航空公司QR888航班機組在此次事件中存在違章行為，但在預測燃油可用時間上存在不足，中國民用航空局將就此事致函卡塔爾民航當局。

為此，民航華東管理局決定對吉祥航空公司及當事機組作出如下處理：

一、暫停受理吉祥航空公司擴大經營範圍、設立分公司、購租飛機等事項的申請，同時削減其航班運行總量10%的運力，削減時間為3個月。

二、暫停吉祥航空公司招錄外籍飛行人員資格，並將對其招錄外籍飛行員資質進行重新評估。

三、要求吉祥航空公司在調查結果公布之日起30天內對全體外籍飛行員進行不少於40小時的地面理論課程訓練，訓練重點是中國民航的有關飛行規則、運行規章、公司的《運行手冊》和駕駛艙資源管理等內容，該局將對訓練過程和結果進行監察評估。

四、鑑於吉祥航HO1112航班機組已違反《一般運行和飛行規則》（CCAR-91-R2）的相關規定，局方將依法吊銷吉祥航空公司當事韓籍機長中國民航航線運輸駕駛員執照，不再受理其新的申請，不允許其再以機組成員身分在中國境內運行，並將處理結果通報韓國民航當局；暫扣副駕駛6個月駕駛員執照。

此外，中國民用航空局已將事件過程通報了國際民航組織，還將向國際駕聯（航線運輸駕駛員協會國際聯合會）通報有關情況。

愛 ‧ Love

喜悦、张海军 20110522 中国达人秀片段



「喜悅和張海軍，這是一對非常普通的中國夫妻。視頻中所表現的是在現今這個物質為上，扭曲價值觀的世界中最平凡但是最珍貴的一段真愛！在中國擺地攤是比較難以維持生活的，喜­悅是一個平凡的女人，但是她的那一句"把愛情進行到底"，我承認我被她深深的感動了！」

愛就是這樣.
This is what we call "LOVE".

"Love" is not only about "feeling"...
but its so deep that its un-describable and only the sacrifices will tell others all about it...

輸得起

(知信行 - 靈修勵語)

我輸得起，因為在基督裡沒有甚麼是輸不起的！

著名的靈修大師級人物茱莉安，在她《愛的啟示》一書中表示，神給祂所愛的人的一個煉淨生命的場所，就是失敗，而且是敗完又敗！一個人若受得起失敗，他才有基督的生命事奉神，而且，輸了之後又能爬起來的，他的生命必然煥發光彩，在主裡他充滿神的愛！換句話說，我們需要學習去輸，而且要輸得起。

失敗並不可怕，甚至它是「好東西」，因為當你走出困厄之後，就成為了一個新造的人。問題只視乎一個人「承受挫敗」的勇氣，倘若不肯認輸，他就因此牢困一世。

若人在面對困境時，能夠把自己放輕一點，目光看遠一點，把人生的意義放在神國度上多一點，就會發現人生是充滿希望的。放眼世界，即使只看見一線陽光，你會感到人生很美！在輸得起的人身上，心胸是開放闊大的。因為他常常看到神的同在。

「凡從神生的，就勝過世界；使我們勝了世界的，就是我們的信心。」（約壹五4）在新約世界中活著的眾多信徒，大部分都是活在水深火熱之中，忍受著各式各樣的逼迫困苦，然而，基督榮耀而充滿喜樂平安的生命，就在這班飽受欺壓的人身上彰顯出來的。

不過，當我執著於我的苦，就算我只失去了一塊錢，我也會覺得很苦！所以放開一點，只要生命還在，機會就還在；當你還肯祈求主的同在，那你的人生意義就出現。

失敗是一項心靈的打擊，原本擁有的鬥志都給挫敗了，這份抬不起頭來面對世界的感覺，使人無地自容。無能、羞愧、丟臉是如斯難受，我還可以作甚麼？我已經一無所有了！當我們來到這一刻，答案就出來了 我們根本就是一無所有的。看看耶穌，耶穌在客西馬尼園中，祂在軟弱時多麼坦然、多麼真實，而真實的我是不用掩藏的！

在安靜中，細細吸吮內心傷痕的痛，那是真實的我！人活得真時，人生就顯得充滿份量了。然後，在挫敗中和哭泣中，呼求主耶穌的安慰，打開胸懷，讓主耶穌進入你心內與你同哭，你會發現，原來，淚是主和你一起流的！

只要放開一點胸懷，看遠一點世界，失敗根本不重要。當人說得出：「我輸得起！」他就成長了。

我輸得起，因為在基督裡沒有甚麼是輸不起的！

當公義被屈枉

時代論壇社評
第一二一二期.二○一○年十一月廿一日

內地維權律師趙連海為年前毒奶粉受害人爭取公道，卻在北京被控「尋釁滋事」，重囚兩年半。事件對社會的震撼程度，比起月前劉曉波獲諾貝爾和平獎，有過之而無不及－－這當然只在香港而言；在內地，兩件事均被嚴加封殺，輿論水靜鵝飛。不過據香港報章報道，在今次事件，一國兩制這一邊廂不分左中右的熾熱關注，也著實給內地當局帶來壓力，縱使最終影響仍然難料。

內地司法制度始終未能真正獨立，要聽命於執政黨。當執政掌權者視政權為既得利益，凌駕於社會公義的需要；在掌權者眼裡，民間自發地集結力量尋求公義，有時就難免如同尋釁滋事。對於公義，這是何等的屈枉！緣何大國崛起，掌權者在人民面前的自信心會軟弱如斯？抑或無論道與義，都總要從掌權者一己之私出發，而毋須公論，甚至用盡辦法扭曲消音，讓它在內地公論無從？

公論無從，但公義猶在，種在世人心裡，成為對社會進步的盼望與方向。從我們的信仰看來，那是人按上主形象而被造的記認。點點對公義的希冀，無論四周境況有多惡劣，依然可以在世人心裡得見，只要自己不被心生的怨毒所噬。這正是我們需要為內地尋求公義的同胞代禱的重點之一。

因為《基本法》與一國兩制，理論上香港享有更大的言論自由與人權保障。這空間其實不單屬於港人，也屬於國人。只是，公共言論空間的寬與窄，不止在乎法制，也在乎人心。能夠吞噬人心的，除了怨毒，還有自義與自保，貪婪與怯懦，跟紅與頂白。說到底，公共言論的空間，還是要靠那一點一滴的敢言與睿智，而得以支撐起來。我們的作為與承擔，可跟香港的歷史位分相稱？

透過矛盾論的視野，挪用社會裡的種種現實分歧，進而打擊人世間團結合作的可能於萌芽狀態，在非友即敵之間盡漁其利，這絕不是我們信仰的思維。人生有敵人，仍要以愛相待（太五43-48）。只不過，離開人身的層面，對於每一件事實史實，每一點善惡黑白，總要明辨；一己的考慮盤算，並不能將黑白互替，即使在現實生活裡，事情複雜，黑白交錯，驟眼看來還好像是灰矇一片。公義，容不下假見證（箴十二17）。

在聖經裡，幾乎每一卷均可得見「公義」一詞，那是上主的屬性，也是人世間的深切盼望。舊約先知彌迦「行公義，好憐憫」的教導（彌六8），信徒大概已經耳熟能詳。另一位先知何西亞的忠告：「你們要為自己栽種公義，就能收割慈愛。」（何十12）我們也應細心念記，勇於踐行，容主使用。誠心所願。

一派胡言：上層為自己自以為是的所作所為而自圓其說的一派胡言

林瑞麟否認偏幫建制派 （明報即時新聞）

政制及內地事務局長林瑞麟否認「超級區議員」提名門檻和競選經費上限太高，亦否認偏幫建制派。
他指，其實除了泛民，建制派對有關建議也有不滿的地方，這證明政府的提案已顧全了政治光譜的各方。又說：「我們已照顧不同的『意見』，但是否完全照顧不同黨派的『利益』呢？那就另計了。」

政府今早向立法會政制事務委員會特別會議，提交2012年行政長官和立法會選舉辦法的本地立法建議。

根據政府建議，立法會方面直選及功能界別議席，各由30席增至35席。當局建議地方直選維持由5個分區選出。

其中備受關注的焦點是，建議5個「超級區議員」（新增的5個區議會功能界別議席）以全港為單一選區，由320萬名現於其他功能界別無投票權的選民，透過名單比例代表制選出。只有民選區議員才可以參選，並必須取得最少15名民選區議員提名，不設上限。競選經費上限定為600萬元。選舉資助額為12元一票，上限維持在競選經費五成。

有議員要求降低有關門檻，也有議員批評提名門檻不設上限，可能出現一些團體獨攬大量提名者、對小團體和獨立人士不公的情況。也有議員批評，競選經費太高。泛民議員指有關設定，是偏幫建制派。

但林瑞麟堅持，將提名門檻訂於15人是恰當的。他指，在諮詢時，各方提出的建議是10人至20人，現在決定15人，是其中間數。

他表示，目前全港民選區議員有412人，把提名門檻訂為15人，已經可以組成廿多張名單出選，競爭會很大。

他又指，諮詢時各方建議的競選經費上限，是400萬至800萬元，現在定為600萬元，也很合適。他特別指出，由於是以全港作為單一選區，候選人要接觸320萬選民，需要一定的經費。

至於提名門檻不設上限，他指這是因為單一選區遍及全港，參選者需要組織廣泛的網絡，因此在機制上，提供「最廣闊的空間」。

Go Leafs Go...!

Who are at the bottom? and who are coaching them?
28th Toronto Maple Leafs (Ron Wilson, coaching Maple Leafs 2008-2010)
29th Carolina Hurricanes (Paul Maurice, coaching Maple Leafs 2006-2008)
30th Edmonton Oilers (Pat Quinn, coaching Maple Leafs 1998-2006)

It is disappointed not because they are not winning... but simply because the Leaf Nation really don't have the fire, not even a spark...

Not surprise but shameful when the headline of the hockey town's newspaper headlining "Raptors bright light in city of losers". But who can argue when the Toronto Star comment the Toronto Maple Leafs "Leaf fans, in contrast, can't talk about the June draft (too depressing), the Marlies (in last place), the improvement curve of Phil Kessel (somehow out of shape), or even the cathartic sacking of their coach (at least until after the Olympics)."

Toronto, the hockey town in a hockey country. While Canada are looking for gold in the upcoming Olympics, we are talking about winning the upcoming draft order for the Maple Leafs. Irony? Hang on, not quite there yet...

While many people anticipate the involvement of Brian Burke, not only he is the first non-Canadian Maple Leafs GM, now he is the GM of US Olympics Team. We need an American to structure Canada's most significant hockey club. Just like England Football team needed Eriksson (from Sweden) or Capello (from Italy) to lead the football country. Will there be loyalty? Will there be the fire? Will there be the spirit? Or its only a job for these builders? History will figure it out.

A job is a job.
A career is a career.
A Calling is a Calling.

Hugh differences.

Shame??? What is the reflection behind it???

This past weekend, when I saw the news of Pride Parade, my heart really fell off. Especially when I saw David Miller shout proudly,"I am really proud of our city, Toronto". I really don't know how proud will that be when SIN is being allow to march across the heart of your city.

When the high-profile-seeking politicians claiming this parade is a "celebration of diversity", do they really understand what is the word "diversity" means? Upcoming "Jesus in the City Parade" on September 19, will they carry the same smile, marching together and shouting the same wordings proudly? Thanks God that among the three main Canada political parties (PC, Lib, NDP), our PM Stephen Harper was not in the parade. This may be the only thing I feel glad about this year Pride Parade.

When NDP Leader Jack Layton saying that this is the way of showing human rights, then my question may be: Where is my right to insist my believe of same sex marriage and premarital sex is wrong? When my religious freedom, freedom of speech are part of my human right, then why will I be classified as "discrimiation" when I declare my objection to those SINs in the public?

I have to clarify, I don't hate those gays and lesbians. I do love them and accept them, making friends with them, eat and play with them, however I would also love to see them turning away from their sin at the same time.

When we talk about human rights, we are at all talking about our "rights as human". Then where is the right for the one who create human? This make me think about the Bible story of "Tower of Babel". We want ourselves to rule the world, but where will God be then? Where is God? or are we trying to prove HIS absence?

Hopefully, as Christians, we should step up and be united. Feel pride to parade for Jesus...!

What is faith?

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin."
(Rom 4:2-8)

Attack of the Killer Rabbits

A counselor at church camp told of his experience with a nine-year-old boy who started to cry when they turned out the cabin lights the first night. "Was he afraid of the dark?" the counselor asked. "No," the boy replied; "he just didn't want to be attacked by the 'killer rabbits.'" Some older kids at home had told him that there were "killer rabbits" who would come out at night and attack the campers.

Jesus was constantly reassuring the disciples with the words, "Fear not." Their fears betrayed their lack of faith. When one traces these words and their usage throughout the Bible, it seems that one of man's constant needs is to be reassured of the presence and comfort of God almighty. Christians can draw on this presence to find comfort and destroy their fears.

Watch out for "killer rabbits!" They can destroy your peace of mind at camp and throughout life.

Why We Chinese still don't want to face our SIN?

圖則證川校豆腐渣 鋼筋幼石屎劣 專家揭六大問題 2009年5月12日

【明報專訊】今天是四川大地震一周年，四川當局過去一直否認有人死於「豆腐渣」工程，但本報取得活埋逾千師生的北川中學的施工圖則，發現教學樓的建築質量最少出現6個問題，包括圖則不專業、部分鋼筋太幼，以及鋼筋交接的駁位太短等，全都削弱了大樓的抗震能力。3名工程師分析後，均直言學校建造質素差，更有工程師指大樓只可抵受3至4級地震。

四川大地震一周年，四川多個地區有紀念活動。據了解，國家主席胡錦濤和國務院副總理李克強會到震央映秀鎮出席紀念活動。而今午2時28分的一年前大地震發生時刻，全市會鳴笛3分鐘向死難者致哀。

料只可禦三四級地震

川震傷亡慘重，「豆腐渣」工程被視為「元兇」之一。兩名曾多次到災區察看的資深工程師，將北川中學施工圖則與現場廢墟比較，直言該圖設計不良，施工現場亦存在鋼筋過幼、間距過寬、樑柱接駁鬆散等嚴重問題，其中一人指出﹕「某些學校鋼筋都沒有，1級地震都會倒下，北川中學仍有鋼筋，但勉強只可抵受3至4級地震，與當地7級防震標準相差太遠。」

這名不願透露姓名的工程師呼籲﹕「中央必須以理性來正視普遍存在的豆腐渣問題……核心意義是展望未來，防止中國再發生同類事件。特別是上海等接近地震帶的大城市，有必要作建築質量普查，並修訂條例，嚴格檢測施工質量。」

北川中學原有4幢大樓，其中於2003年落成的北川中學教學樓，在5．12地震中粉碎性倒塌，活埋1300人。本報記者5月初於現場所見，教學樓外，另外3幢大樓損並不嚴重，如旁邊一幢1999年完工的舊校舍只有天花脫落，另一邊於70年代落成的老式建築更完好無缺。

家長得圖 公安恐嚇泄機密

學生家長母勇賢早前冒險取得教學樓施工圖，比對現場瓦礫展開調查，發現工程嚴重偷工減料。維權人士王笑冬憶述﹕「母勇賢將施工圖複印本交到四川省公安廳，第二天綿陽市公安局來了幾個警察，把他帶到賓館以『泄露國家機密』罪名威脅他。」

至於王笑冬自己則千方百計，欲將圖則交給中紀委，但其間不斷被監控及收到死亡恐嚇，3月起被迫流亡。內地媒體有關圖則的報道則被徹底封殺。

本報取得此施工圖，印有「北川建築勘察設計所」字樣、簽名等資料。今年元旦曾到過北川中學的港大建築系助理教授朱濤，看過施工圖後，認為圖則是真的。

他對照過施工圖和家長調查時於廢墟現場拍得的照片，認為家長的調查，反映中學實際施工情嚴重不符合施工圖則，如當地規定組成混凝土的「石頭子」的直徑不能大過2厘米，「但從現場的照片所見，竟有10厘米的石頭，是很嚴重的錯誤！」他解釋，石粒過大，土內空間便擴大，鋼筋等建材無法抓緊，強度下降易老化，結構便不安全。

他再指出建築物的多個問題，如用於樑柱的鋼筋數量減少、位置不對，部分鋼筋亦太幼，這些均嚴重影響該校結構，「若該調查結果是真的……便可確定是豆腐渣工程」。但他指家長的調查只反映學校的局部情，且多次餘震後，塌下的物料亦需逐一仔細查看，「要政府詳細調查才可下結論」。

朱濤補充說，90年代的建築物皆需接受質量檢查和提交檢查報告，「若詳細調查確定與施工圖嚴重不符合的範圍，那個施工隊、現場監工的人為什麼看不到問題？質量檢查的人為何發現不到問題？施工工人是否有倒賣材料？這些人都在，可逐一查出」。

朱濤表示，完全根據施工圖施工，北川中學應可抵受去年的地震，「只會出現裂痕，但不會整幢塌下來」。

對於官方對北川中學變成「廢墟」的說法，是認為教學樓的選址問題，朱濤指可透過挖開土壤探察了解這說法是否屬實。

無國界工程師召集人黎廣德認為，當局應設立類似香港的死因聆訊，公開資料及分析建築倒塌的原因，從中汲取教訓，防悲劇重演。

nightmare...

I just have had a bad dream.

I was begging, crying, urging...
still, not able to make any changes...
I was being left out in the dark...
feeling lonely, feeling lost...

God, please don't let it happen...
please don't

"O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

"O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
This verse best describe my most needed learning during the trip.

Just like Saturday. Thirty minutes before my first of nine message in eight days (yes, add Sunday school before my Sunday Service message), Satan definitely want to remind me that he will not let any opportunity to beat me to slip away.

It was when my laptop was being "flood" by an accident during the fellowship dinner. It was nobody fault. However, we found out that my laptop was not able to turn on after that. To be honest, at that moment, I am really desperate. Someone whispered to me, do you need a prayer? I don't know what to answer. The only thing I am talking to God... What? No...!!!

However, God really showing to the fellowship, He prepares. One of the brothers eventually bring a small screwdriver with him, and the most important, he knows how to fix a laptop. Within three hours, my laptop was being restored, backup and ready to go.

When I saw him fixing it, the only wordings in my mind, was the sermon I am going to preach Sunday morning. 'When Peter saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" '

I ask myself, Kelvin, why are you having so little faith?
I feel shame of myself, I should have know that even though the laptop cannot be recovered, my messages is still on. Why bother on the little computer?
Sorry God, I fell into Satan's trap again, I almost failed.
Thankyou for bailed me out, as the message went well Saturday night(at least this is what I believe).

Struggles to start – A Spiritual Warfare

Its really tough to start your mission trip with a day of spiritual warfare, however, God does not allow me to give up.

First, due to some reason named this and that, I have no sleep at all last night. Well, I don't feel sleepy, but clearly I am not well functioned.

Second, I keep asking myself this morning, what have I left not yet packed? I think, I think and I think. Nothing, should not be anything. At the airport: it's the Bible…! What? Yes, going mission trip without carrying your Bible. What a shame…!

Money, this is my fault actually, I forget to go buy US dollars, thus have to rush to the bank to get some. Thanks God, just a small line up, but the rate has gone up today.

Then, Hwy 401 got an accident, a huge parking lot. What a normal thing to happen on your not normal day. Thanks God, there is hwy 407, although its toll.

At the check in counter I was bumped up from 1240 flight to 1130. Messing my plan of having a peaceful lunch at the airport, as I was told only 15 minutes for custom and boarding. But finally the flight is delayed for another 30 minutes without notice. I am ok, as God already practice me with no lunch on Tuesday. Wow, how amazing the arrangement is…!

A phone call to Bell customer service shock me with the news of outgoing txt msg in US cost 60cents, it used to be included in my plan…!!! Well, the phone company never tells you that they secretly increase their charges in your already expensive phone bill. But thanks God for reminding me to call Bell before I am in US stupidly thinking that everything is free when its is fee.

Emotions build up during the wait for the flight. All my low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, worry to fail… all suddenly build up during that waiting period. What a big spiritual warfare. Thanks God for cooling me down, as I have to walk outdoor to aboard the plane under the -20 windchill.

The struggles seems not wanting to end after leaving Toronto, and a good 90 minutes of sleep during the flight.

At Newark Airport, I was already deadly hungry, yes, the airline now cut cost to the point not even give nuts or water to u…! The terminal map clearly stated that A&W is there… the only food store that interest me. However, what I saw when I arrived is a big renovation wall. Sigh… okie, I try find something for me interest to eat, and I finally found this store with "Loaded Fries", fries with cheese and bacon, yummy…! But fat tummy…!

Emotional struggles come up again during the three hours wait. I keep asking God, why its me? Is that always me who has the problem? Why always not being correctly understood, or being misunderstood or not even not willing to understand me… Why it has to be me who is wrong every time? Am I look so bad that not worthy to be trusted? Why I cannot be myself? Why its wrong for me to choose? Why? Why? And Why? These are questions I know that I should not have asked. But there they are. Faith, where is my faith to God? Hope, where is my hope to God? Love, where is my love to God? Hey Kelvin, wake up, stand up, keep fighting… its battle time…! I know I have to fight, but I need to regroup myself. I got five hours up high in the sky (closer to God??) for me to do that, God, thank you for these five hours. I really need that very much.

During those five hours, a lot of turbulence, real turbulence, however, always peaceful after going thru it. Like my emotions, turbulence, but peaceful after all.

 

Last but not least have to thank all the brothers and sister for their hospitality.

 

Faith is all I am asking for...

Its all about the ironic feeling in your heart, but after all, its all about your faith to believe.

Its ironic that I know God is giving me the best, but I don't think I am having the best now. I need faith to believe the God has already given me the best, its just I have yet to understand it.

Its ironic as I want to understand so many "Why?"s in my mind, but I also understand that there are so may "Why?"s are not able to understand. I need faith to believe that God has His reason to allow all those "Why?"s to happen.

Its ironic that I want to see my future, but on the other hand, everyone know that you will never know your future except I am convinced that I am going to Heaven after death. I need faith to believe that God is taking good care of my future.

Its ironic that I know that I should not have to worry, but I always worry about this and that. I need faith to believe that God is in control and I really have nothing to worry.

Its ironic that I know that I should follow the Will of God, however, I always feel pain occurs when doing that. I need faith to believe that following His will is the most enjoyable one, and no pain really no gain.

Its ironic that you know that Satan is going to attack you so that you don't have faith to serve Him, but I always fall into Satan's temptations. I need a lot of faith to believe that I can fight as long as I am walking with God, even though sometime I might fall.

Life is full of irony. But FAITH TO BELIEVE will always overruled these ironies.

God, please, let me have more FAITH so that I can BELIEVE.

Turn your emotions from -ve to +ve

將負面情緒變成正面頻率
2008-11-11 11:16 Posted on 基督日報


1、生氣
一種高能量的情緒，可以被用來幫助我們作出反應並採取行動，可使我們能夠克服那些本不可逾越的障礙和困難。

它經常與我們不喜歡的情況相連在一起，它為我們提供能量使我們採取行動對這些障礙和困難作出反應。

生氣就是鼓氣，一鼓作氣才能成功。

2、悲傷
一種能促進深沉思考的反應，能更好的從失去種取得智慧，從而更珍惜目前所擁有的。


3、後悔
找出一個得不到的最好效果的做法中的意義，提醒我們，要找出一個更好效果的作法，同時讓我們更明確內心價值關的排序。

4、左右為難
說明內心價值觀的排序尚未清晰明確。

5、恐懼
一種高能量的情緒，恐懼可以提高神經系統的靈敏度，並能使意識性增強，這對我們提高對潛在問題的警覺性很有幫助。它使我們獲得本不能得到的信息，它使我們迅速作出反應，並在必要條件下選擇逃避。

6、無可奈何
已知的辦法全不適用，需要創新與突破思考。

7、內疚
這是一種與評估是非對錯連在一起的情緒。如果我們沒有其他的方式評估與價值有關的行為的話，內疚可限制我們的行為選擇範圍。現在我們明白了這個道理，我們就能用更富有建設性的評估方法來取代內疚。

8、緊張
太好了！讓我們有額外的能量去保證成功。

9、害怕
不甘願付出本來自己認為需要自己付出，或者覺得付出的大過得到的。它促使我們對所期望的東西重新進行評價及對實現期望採取的方法進行重新調整。

10、慚聭
一件表面上已經完結的事，但還需要採取一個行動的部分。

11、失望
發生在所期望的目標已確定但沒有實現的時候，是一種能促使對期望作出重新評估及對實現期望目標所採取的方法作出重新調整的信號。

12、討厭
需要擺脫或者改變的提醒信號，幫助我們去找出改變及擺脫的辦法。

13、憤怒
一種高能量的情緒，可以充分調動身體的能量，準備對一個不願接受的狀況作出改變的行動。

14、壓力
是轉變動力之前的準備，就想彈簧一樣，壓得越低，談得越高。

15、憂慮
一種高能量的情緒，它把主意力集中在一個就要發生，但後果令我們擔心的事情上。讓我們出去精力集中的狀態並將變成興奮，為我們提供為事件做好準備的能量。

16、痛苦
使我們能避開危險，並提升人生經驗的信號。

從上面這些定義中我們明白，每個負面情緒其實都是給人一份推動力，推動當事人作出行動，這種推動力或者是指出了一個方向，也可能給予了一種力量，或者兩者皆有。

我們相信上帝為我們安排的所有情緒都有正面意義的，因而我們所認定的負面情緒也許並不是我們所認為的那樣討厭，是完全值得我們重視的，別忘了情緒本身就是一種能量！

既然問題不在情緒本身，就要看你如何去拓展情緒上的選擇空間，也就是運用情緒的能力。如果你感覺你在情緒上無能為力，那麼，負面情緒似乎往往要佔上風，它甚至主宰並控制你的行為。雖然很多人提醒你，應該設法避開負面情緒，但所有的負面情緒都是為人服務的。

有時候，當你感到自己有一種負面情緒時，你外在的意識通常就通知你對這些情緒作出評估。假如，你最近感到工作上很有壓力，你就會問自己：最近是否需要在工作中加入一些動力？如果答案是肯定的，你就會讓自己去體會這種壓力，這是你的選擇。

你我主動這麼做的時候，事實上，壓力已經不是壓力，它更是一種刺激，一種挑戰，一種動力！在此其間，你的外在意識會定期的使你對壓力予以注意，因而你會對你的想法所維持的時間的長短是否合適作出估計。如果已經達到合適的程度，你就會選擇一種新的情緒狀態，對你來說，時間量的大小就是你獲得信息並決定對其怎樣作出反應所需要的時間。

進一步說，所謂的負面情緒，多數都是把我們的注意力轉移到那些不開心的事情上。通過把我們的注意力引向不開心的事並使我們處於一種情緒狀態，通過這些狀態就可以幫助我們對所處的局面做出評價，所有負面情緒狀態可以幫助我們搞清楚事情並找到解決困難的方法。如果這個反應過程中，外部環境發生變化，我們就會完全自由的調整我的情緒狀態以應對新的情況作出反應。

我們的情緒的發生總是配合生活中的每一件事，幫助我們向著自己的主觀願望前景。負面情緒的真的很有道理，而且是有用的。當你再去體驗負面情緒的時候，結果發現痛苦感不見了，你就會看到負面情緒可以為你服務，並能不斷的幫助你找到方法同時給予能量動力去解決困難。

你一旦獲得了情緒上的自由，也就大大拓展了精神領域的活動空間，例如，當你情緒低落的時候，如悲傷，你的意識可能會馬上提醒你：喂，別忘了，它是為你服務的「因而你就會感到悲傷和一種更積極的感覺，例如在快樂之間作出選擇，你當然會選擇快樂，難道不是嗎？

態度就像磁鐵，不論我們的思想是正面的還是負面的，我們都受它的牽引，而思想就想輪子一般，使我們朝著一個特定的方向前進。

雖然我們無法選擇發生的事情，但我們可以選擇我們的情緒狀態，雖然我們無法調整環境來適應你的生活，但可以調整情緒來適應一切的環境。畢竟，你的生活不是由生命所發生的事所決定的，而是自己面對生命的態度，和你的心靈看待事情的態度來決定的。

I ruin it

I make some serious mistake.
Why I have to express my feelings when I know that it will turn out with silence?
It is definitely not other's fault, its me who know how to be good communication, but I ruin it.

I ruin it big.

Scripture Today

正如我經常講，神真是既可愛又可憎...
可憎的是他不會給你打開你的結局
可愛的是他一定會回答你的禱告

今日心情十分起伏，希望神給一些安慰，正值團契活動時有一環節是選經文。我跟神祈禱說，我不選啦，你給我甚麼就是甚麼啦。唉，神果然應允禱告。三節經文給我很大鼓勵。

順服: 悖逆的罪與行邪術的罪相等；頑梗的罪與拜虛神和偶像的罪相同。你既厭棄耶和華的命令，耶和華也厭棄你作王。(撒母耳記上15:23)

寬恕: 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。(歌羅西書3:13)

忍耐: 也要堅守我們所承認的指望，不至搖動，因為那應許我們的是信實的。(希伯來書10:23)

神啊...謝謝你...!

Being Honest?

"同事三分親"今日講"坦白"。

人總是希望人人對他坦白。

可是為何人總是在對方坦白時，卻喜愛利用對方對他的坦白，甚至使用對方對他的坦白而傷害對他坦白的人???

"溏心風暴"中的阿歡就是一個很好的例子，連親生阿媽都利用他的坦白，唉...點解?!?!?!

Dear all, Thank you

Last week, during a memorial ceremony of AFC founder Rev. & Mrs. Stephen Knights, I was reminded of this song "Thank you" by Ray Boltz. This reminds me of those who help me and shape me during the past twenty years of my life. They were/are my examples, and their proverbs will forever be in my mind.

To those who are/were in Ottawa, thank you for teaching me while I was hurting you. Thank you for all Sunday school teachers, as that was when my Biblical foundation being laid. Thank you for all choir members, as you are those who give me a hand and lift me up while I was down due to mistakes.

To Rev. Nelson, thank you for being my turning point.

To Raymond, you know how much you mean to me... thank you...!

To all my friends in Toronto, thank you for walking with me when I am in needed.

To Rev. Barclay, thank you for being my teacher/mentor for my seminary years.

Of course, cannot appreciate more for what my parents had given me.

Without all your support, I will not be the Kelvin today.

THANK YOU...!

I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me;
We walked upon the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea.
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name.
We turned and saw a young man running
And he was smiling as he came.

And he said, "Friend you may not know me now."
And then he said, "But wait,
You used to teach my Sunday School
When I was only eight.
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you
And said, "Remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry.
You didn't have much money,
But you gave it anyway.
Jesus took the gift you gave
And that's why I'm here today."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

One by one they came
Far as the eye could see.
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity.
Little things that you had done,
Sacrifices made,
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven, now proclaimed.

And I know up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes.
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord.
He said, "My child, look around you.
Great is your reward."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.
