Colors of The Universe 宇宙的顏色

What Color Is The Universe?
If you said 'BLACK' you're wrong.

宇宙是多采多姿不是黑色的。

My Lord Is My Shepherd 我主是我的牧者

My Lord Is My Shepherd (In Taiwanese)
我主是我的牧者(台語)
Taiwan Union Christian Church Choir
紐約台灣基督教會聖歌隊獻唱

我主是我的牧者
祂知我所欠用 賞賜我諸項有够額 我可全心信靠祂
引導我躺在青翠草埔 導到安靜的水邊
我主是我的牧者 我必跟隨祂腳步
雖然行過死蔭的山谷 我也攏不驚災害
因爲主必保護照顧我 導我脫離黑暗路
有時煩惱與憂傷包圍 心內驚惶真艱苦
祂在我身邊安慰扶持 永遠攏無離
我主是我的牧者 祂與我相同行
賞賜我有慈悲憐憫 賞賜氣力與盼望
主耶和華是我牧者 永遠攏無放梀我
我主是我的牧者 永遠與我相同行

Your Neighbor 你的鄰人

Pastor Jeremiah Steepek (pictured above) transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service, only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food - NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.

As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation. "We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek." The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation. The homeless man sitting in the back stood up and started walking down the aisle. The clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him. He walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment then he recited,

Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
'The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
於是王要向那右邊的說、你們這蒙我父賜福的、可來承受那創世以來為你們所預備的國。
因為我餓了、你們給我喫.渴了、你們給我喝.我作客旅、你們留我住.我赤身露體、你們給我穿.我病了、你們看顧我.我在監裡、你們來看我。
義人就回答說、主阿、我們甚麼時候見你餓了給你喫、渴了給你喝.甚麼時候見你作客旅留你住、或是赤身露體給你穿.又甚麼時候見你病了、或是在監裡、來看你呢。
王要回答說、我實在告訴你們、這些事你們既作在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上、就是作在我身上了。
王又要向那左邊的說、你們這被咒詛的人、離開我、進入那為魔鬼和他的使者所預備的永火裡去。因為我餓了、你們不給我喫.渴了、你們不給我喝.我作客旅、你們不留我住.我赤身露體、你們不給我穿.我病了、我在監裡、你們不來看顧我。
他們也要回答說、主阿、我們甚麼時候見你餓了、或渴了、或作客旅、或赤身露體、或病了、或在監裡、不伺候你呢。
王要回答說、我實在告訴你們、這些事你們既不作在我這弟兄中一個最小的身上、就是不作在我身上了。這些人要往永刑裡去.那些義人要往永生裡去。(馬厷5:34-46)

After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning. Many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame. He then said, "Today I see a gathering of people, not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples. When will YOU decide to become disciples?"
He then dismissed service until next week.

Being a Christian is more than something you claim. It's something you live by and share with others.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly . . . leave the rest to God. (Share Internet Message 轉載網路資訊)

Hebrew Slaves Chorus 希伯來奴隸心聲

Nabucco - Hebrew Slaves Chorus

Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves
Italian Lyrics
Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate;
va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli
ove olezzano tepide e molli
l'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
di Sionne le torri atterrate.
Oh, mia patria sì bella e perduta!
Oh, membranza sì cara e fatal!
Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati,
perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
ci favella del tempo che fu!
O simile di Solima ai fati
traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
o t'ispiri il Signore un concento
che ne infonda al patire virtù!

English Translation
Go, thoughts, on golden wings;
Go, settle upon the slopes and hills,
where warm and soft and fragrant are
the breezes of our sweet native land!
Greet the banks of the Jordan,
the towers of Zion ...
Oh my country so beautiful and lost!
Or so dear yet unhappy!
Or harp of the prophetic seers,
why do you hang silent from the willows?
Rekindle the memories within our hearts,
tell us about the time that have gone by
Or similar to the fate of Solomon,
give a sound of lament;
or let the Lord inspire a concert
That may give to endure our suffering.

Save Yourself 救救自己

In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...
After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do : The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.... Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Don't sit in your car!
Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS!). The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a weapon to you, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. (This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS playedon the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..'

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people competely turn on all your outside taps so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors!

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or someone you love. Please pass this on. This information should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.

曾道雄領唱_美麗台灣我可愛故鄉


【美麗台灣,我可愛的故鄉】歌詞在下:

上帝做阮代代幫助, 復做將來盼望,
遇到艱苦求祢照顧, 做阮永遠門戶,
做阮代代幫助, 阮永遠門戶。
