Pray 祈福

An internet chain letter prayer 一封網路連鎖信祈禱文
Let's pray. 一起禱告。

Heavenly Father,

Most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family, friends and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you.

Father, I send up a prayer request for blessings for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank you in advance for your blessings.

Father God, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt's burdens. Release Your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me. Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk in Your word and have the faith of a mustard seed that You will pour out blessings.

I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet.

In Jesus' name, I pray.

AMEN

今年20鄭桂桂生下來右手就沒有手指。用左手五指和右掌在中央電視臺「我要上春晚」節目現場演奏鋼琴曲-童年的回憶。她的音樂和她克服先天不足的努力真讓我感動。

Remember Fire Island 火燒島回憶

Remember Taiwan Fire Island (now Green Island) political prisoners.

台灣火燒島(綠島)六十年 昔日受難家屬意難忘


(YouTube video)

【新唐人亞太台2011年5月10日訊】六十年前,當時台灣的綠島被稱為火燒島,許多政治受難家屬,都經歷過這白色的恐怖時期,直到1990年5月5日後,綠島不再關押罪­犯,逐漸成為觀光景點。而今年也是綠島人權文化園區,邁入第10年,文建會也將特別邀請,60位政治受難者暨家屬,重返綠島人權文化園區。

大提琴家 歐陽慧儒:「一直到解嚴之後,我爸才比較敢跟我們說甚麼,那個時候大概已經是,我高中的時候。」

沉重的旋律,淡淡的哀愁,大提琴家歐陽慧儒,用琴聲來回溯到1950年,他的父母因為反對政戰制度進入校園,分別被判刑10到12年,也因此讓他感受到自由的可貴。

大提琴家 歐陽慧儒:「大家自由慣了,大家不會珍惜,實際上這是很多前輩的努力,所以其實是要不斷提醒,跟教育我們下一代,這個如果不去做,其實到最後就沒了,沒有這段歷史。」

畫家 歐陽文:「鐵砲百合,那個時候很多,現在都沒有了。」

曾經在綠島服刑十二年的畫家歐陽文,透過他的雙眼,描繪出昔日的火燒島,如今,高齡八十八歲的他,對那段日子還有哪些印象。

畫家 歐陽文:「印象很深的沒有,在那裡大部份都是差不多,在那裡給人家關的時候,心情很不好,在那裡關了十幾年,心情很不好,其他都沒有感覺了。」

報社發行人 廖天欣:「跟外國的朋友寫信,當然要寫1949年,不可能寫民國,民國外國朋友怎麼知道,這個就是我全部的罪名。」

另一位83歲的廖天欣,是第一批被冠上政治犯罪名,1963年8月,才被釋放出獄。

報社發行人 廖天欣:「我說,不是啊我們是同學而已,學校的同學,我們是同事而已,我們做生意的關係,就這樣交換名片,你就這樣逮捕我們。」

看著六十年前的照片,回憶起當時政治受難的朋友,一起經歷過這段白色恐怖時期,直到1990年5月5日後,綠島不再關押罪犯,逐漸成為觀光景點,而他們的故事,似乎也隨著­歲月,刻畫在回憶中。

Military Planes And Ships 軍機和船艦

The 3 carriers and the new fighter jet

The plane in these pictures is still officially the 'Air Vehicle Number 1', a prototype, on board the USS George Washington CVN-73 for catapult fit checks. Not exactly still Top Secret but certainly not yet made public.

It’s known as the F/A-37. Although specs are classified, it is believed to be Mach 3.5 (top speed in the Mach 4 range) super-cruise stealth fighter/bomber/interceptor with approximately a 4,000nm range.

Check out the Navy test pilot in the cockpit of the F/A-37 LT. Kara Wade.

For the first time in over 20 some odd years, three carrier strike groups ABRAHAM LINCOLN, KITTY HAWK and RONALD REAGAN got together in formation for a great photo op.

See the Air Force planes fly-over, B-2 Stealth Bomber. The only warships not seen in the photos are the 4 nuclear powered submarines standing guard.

USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center, notice the two twin towers on top.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's
bow section. It was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, “those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence.” recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there.

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the hair on his neck stood up. “It had a big meaning to it for all of us”, he said. “They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We’re going to be back.” It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.

The ship's motto?
"Never Forget"
