Wild Flowers 野花

God creates lots, lots of beautiful things,

here is one.

上帝創造了許多許多美麗的東西,

這是其中之一。

Newborn Swallows 小小燕子

I found a nest full of newborn swallows under the awning corner. Due to small space gap, I could not see them. Fortunately, My camera helped capture them. There were at least 4 babies in the nest. The mother swallow was out looking for baby food....



在這個遮日篷⻆發現滿鳥巢新生的小燕子。太狹窄我看不到, 幸虧用相機拍到他們。看來巢中最少有四隻以上的小小燕子。母燕不在家, 我猜可能找食物去... 。

Praise Report 感恩報告

I received this Email From Rev. Hung:

April 22,2010
Dear Brother in Christ,
Thank God for His grace and thank you for your prayers.
The operation to cut out the 2cm malignant rectum tumor and all my 20 cm long rectum was success. I came home on April 20. I lost 2kg in body weight; now only 54kg. There is still pain in my anus when I sit. The anus is still bleeding.
My surgeon says he will operate on me weeks or months later to cut out the 2cm tumor in my lung and a tiny tumor in my liver! It makes me shudden. God have mercy upon me. Please continue to pray for me and my family, who suffer with me. Thank you.
God bless you all.
Gratefully yours,
Daniel m. Hung
P.S. I still have to keep the troublesome subtitute anus for a long time.

收到洪牧師來信:
洪牧師的直腸瘤切除手術順利成功。已於前天(4/20)出院回家。
肺部的小腫瘤稍後再訂時間開刀。
感謝上帝施恩, 也感謝大家的代禱。
請各位兄姊繼續爲他和他的家人祈禱。

Emergency Rescue 緊急救援

Due to more and more boats on the lake, Public Safety Division blocked off one lane of highway on Cothran Bridge this morning. They were conducting bridge and lake accident emergency rescue training. Hoping for a safe boating season.

越來越多的遊湖船和釣魚船在湖中釣魚玩水。今早公安單位關閉了柯斯蘭橋上一線段公路。他們在作湖橋事故緊急救援演習。但願人船安全遊湖。

Wild Scallions 野葱

Wild scallions are growing everywhere. They are edible. But, they won't be as good as farm grown. I threw them onto compost heap.

野葱到處亂生亂長。雖說它們是可吃的, 我認爲還是農場培育的才更好吃。順手丟棄堆肥堆。(想到小時候老師和課本教--對岸同胞吃草根... !!!)

I borrowed these scallion pictures from Rev. Chuang's blog. They enjoyed the food and one day trip to northeast coast-Yilan, Taiwan. What a treat they shared.

我自莊牧師-這是我的部落格借這幾張青葱的照片。
他們分享一日旅遊臺灣東北岸宜蘭三星農場等處的報導。令我口水流不停呢!

Catch the Train 追火車

我在魚夫的博客上看到這張照片, 禁不住而留言回應如下:

魚夫勇敢趕火車,
可惜雙腳尖著地作樣。
不過,
此圖景令人想起,
少年時跳火車的往事。

* 想當年讀初高中時上學返家連續追趕跳了六年的火車。雖是少年無智的行爲, 卻令人回味不盡。


I saw this picture on Yufu's blog, and left a comment (something like the following in English).

Yufu bravely catches the train.
Unfortunately, it's only a posture for picture.
But,
This picture brings to my mind,
Chasing train while I was young.

* For six years, I took the train round trips while I was in junior and senior high school. Even though catching (chasing or jumping) a train like that was not an acceptable behavior, that was what we young lads did long long ago.
