從「這裡」到「那裡」---核心同工退修會

#2012-0317

基督教台中聖雅各堂 2012 牧區議員、核心同工退修會 (retreat) 於 3 月 16-17 日（週五、週六）假太平區頭汴坑的聖愛山莊舉行。

聖愛山莊地址：台中市太平區長龍路一段內城巷 43 號。聖愛山莊屬天主教聖母聖心修女會所有，是一塊占地 49 公頃的山坡地，其整體開發構想為「宗教靈修中心」兼「生態保護園區」，未來展望與重要課題可以「簡樸、自然、寧靜、環保」八個字表述。根據 Xuite日誌 的簡介，意思是：只開發山的一小部分，其他大部分保留生態原貌，讓自然大地啟發人的心靈。Xuite 說：人們必須在寧靜中回歸自然，回歸造物主創造萬物時的原有秩序，以簡樸的生活方式，落實環境及心靈的環保，才能在人群中不受汙染，以確定生命的方向、價值及意義。

我參加聖雅各堂這次所辦的退修會 (retreat)，收穫之一可說是「境教」--- 環境（或大自然）的某種薰陶也！感謝上主！

至於研習內容，當然極為豐富，乃以《教會領袖高峰會》之書面資料，配上精彩的名人講演紀錄影片，例如威斯 史丹福 (Wess Stafford)、比爾 海波斯 (Bill Hybels)、史提芬 弗蒂克 (Steven Furtick) 等人的見證及論述，都令人印象深刻。而我個人最感動的，應是比爾 海波斯的演講：From Here to There (從這裡到那裡) --- 沒錯！這 From Here to There 不僅是演講標題而已，它更是積極進取的好基督徒［特別是基督徒領袖］，隨時都得要聆聽上帝的微聲細語 (The Lord's Whispering) 好將自己［以及同道、夥伴們］從目前的「這裡」帶到未來想去的「那裡」. . . . .所謂「更上一層樓」--- 境界之提升是也。

啊！求主親自引領！求主賜給我們足夠的智慧 (wisdom) 與愛心 (love)！

Little Bee 準備回外婆家！

#2012-0312



每個星期，小蜜蜂會在爺爺奶奶家、外公外婆家輪流各住幾天；由他的爸媽開車接送。現在，他就要回外公外婆家囉！

It is time for Little Bee to go to his mom's mother's house again. Just before he leaves here for that "second home," I (his papa's papa) want to play with him for a few more moments.

[This video is made by Jean Huang, who is Little Bee's grandma, or my better half.]

Little Bee Doing Housework

Little Bee, a one-year-and-four-month-old boy, is busy doing housework. Look! He can sweep the floor so well. He must have seen his grandma holding a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other. Although he is shorter than the handle of either tool, he is trying his best to use the both tools. What a smart boy you are, my grandson!

Just before I started my breakfast the next morning, 

I saw a beautiful cruise ship coming in.

你瞧！漂亮的油輪 進港 囉！

It seems that there is just too much rain in Keelung.
