智慧者的言论

有深度的评论者不管是在讨论有关于政治、宗教或时事评论时，论点都是从透过相关的历史背景而做出全面性的探讨。重点是在鞭策因不良制度或政策手段所带来不公平的后果与可能造成的伤害，而从不是侧重于玷污或打击某方面或个人的形象。

以上的提示来自Dr Frank Macchia
"In politics, I love a good intellectual debate on the issues, especially if it focuses insightfully on their historical background and global setting. I covet especially a focus on consequences for those who have suffered most from the inequities of our institutions and policies. I hate a debate that focuses on tarnishing the other's image. It insults my intelligence and wastes my time. I have better things to do." 23.10.2012

五件事

1997

I was in the land (1997) when Bibi was the 14th Prime Minister. And now he is the Prime Minister again ... and i am going there again, this time to Mount Carmel School of Ministry ... rejoice! (September 25, 2012)

Today our worship leader wanted to sing a song from our long produced Chinese album – 祝福 (Blessings). I took out the album and listened to those songs again. I was in love with the voices and the lyrics ministered to me afresh.

I told Andrew that, I was pregnant with him when I did the recording of this album.

Then a thought came to me, I am to tell my dear friend that these songs are going to put colors into her season of life again, our voices are going to heard again. I have decided to use some of the songs for my coming “十架苦路” (Via Dolorosa) project…I am getting excited!

As I put back the CD into the casing, I realized that this album was produced in 1997!! Kairos. (October 5, 2012)

慢慢的突然

    最近很多人很好奇的问我，为何“突然”喜欢拍照？而这一个“突然”也让我起了好奇心！

依稀记得小时侯，妈妈就是喜欢把我装扮得漂漂亮亮，好让我当摄影叔叔的小模特儿。当自己身为妈妈时，我也常把Victor和Andrew打扮得“帅帅”的，而他们就是我的模特儿。我享受捕捉他俩小时候顽皮与幸福的笑脸，保存着两位小朋友多本厚厚的相簿是我收索回忆的良伴。

记得第一架数码相机是中文堂的弟兄姐妹送给我（现在继承给Victor）。有了数码相机，让我更加方便，除了能够随身携带，还能随身拍照！其实，一路以来我都很喜欢拍照！在中文堂的日子，早前有志敬，后来则由诗琴当我们的官方摄影师。自己嘛，因常站在讲台上，很自然的就成为了摄影师的对象。所以大家都很少看见我拿相机，而自己也渐渐地……忘了“我其实是喜欢拍照的！”。

回想起拍照的旅程，已有二十多年了。去年，我心血来潮，买了一台智能手机。随身带、随身拍的做照片札记。而这一次买了数码相机，又再次燃烧起拍照的热诚！这一个 “慢慢的突然”是“高瞻远瞩，鹏程万里”中的一个新里程碑。

终点与起点交接的日子

          2012年的最后一个季度已经开跑了。这是阳历的最后一个季度，但却是希伯来历的新年度，是一个迈向终点与起点的完美交接处。在冲向终点的当儿，眼前又是一个新的起跑点。在紧张不知如何结束时，起点对话说：我是创始成终的主宰。

      接下来的3个月将是我“高瞻远瞩，鹏程万里”， 2010年毕业以来的另一个高峰。

以下将是我期待的结束与开始的交接：

两次的出外讲道、上完辅导学的最后一课，然后参加毕业典礼、开始筹备2013年5月尾的第4届特殊宝贝亲子营会、开始筹备2013年10月中的Setapak Youth Network (SYN) 文良港青年联络网300人的聚会、15天的以色列圣地之旅、欢庆中文堂12周年庆典、圣诞节特别服事……

      这是一个……神為祂的人所預備的是眼睛未曾看見，耳朵未曾聽見，人心也未曾想到的（日子）！
