我的暑假
根據社區組織協會發表的「貧窮兒童生活質素研究報告」，顯示香港每四名兒童就有一名生活於貧窮線下。貧窮兒童的居住環境狹窄，膳食營養不足，難以支付暑期活動的開支。所以，當大部份兒童享受暑期，參加不同類型的暑期活動班、出埠旅遊之際；貧窮兒童多是參與免費的課程、遊覽活動，甚或留在家裡，自得其樂。也有家長想盡辦法，花千多元為兒子安排八項活動，過一個多姿多彩的暑假。

回應：小孩時代過暑期，只能在家裏過，一項活動也無，但仍享受簡單的生活。現今因社會的福利豐厚，家長若可懂得有效的運用資源，或可使兒子得到豐盛的暑假活動。

Lectio Divinia - we live the text
The purpose of this study is to help us all enrich our prayer life. We will accomplish this through a study of the Psalms employing an ancient method called “Lectio Divinia”.
Lectio Divinia has been likened to eating. We put the food in our mouths, we chew it up, we savor the flavors, and we live and grow as a result.
4 Step
Non-linear process
Lectio- We read the text
Meditatio- We meditate the text
Oratio- We pray the text
Contemplatio- We live the text

The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die
作者John Izzo
1：「活在當下」(live the moment)
2：「成為愛」(become love )
3:「忠於你自己，並且有目標地生活」 (be true to yourself, and live with intention)
4:「施贈多於接受」 (give more than you take)
5:「無悔今生」 （leave no regrets）
我总是善忘，有人突然問起這秘訣，只記起2个，忘老師給予的5个點；便背了，也放於這裏也希望別人得著好處。
2 L: live the moment and become love
L: Loyal (be true to yourself)
NR : Leave no regrets
G: Give
When you know you have to go (putting the secrets into practice)
Preparing to die well (happy people are not afraid to die)
Don't too late to live the secrets

Guidance: Making Sense gods Direction (Extracted. Written by Philip Yancey) 20 APR 2009
Gideon’s Fleece:
In the story reported in Judges 6 and 7, Gideon clearly emerges as an example of doubt and vacillation.
The Pragmatic School：
A sincere questioner uses such resources as the Bible, the inner promptings of Holy Spirit, and external circumstances to descry God’s Will.
“line up those three like harbor lights,” And add a fourth harbor light, the wise counsel of fellow Christian.
The Macedonian Call- Abnormal circumstances.
Freedom to Choose?—using spiritual wisdom.
Take a step Back from the Precipice of Choice- how an infinite God could guide finite beings?
His Option- Human guidance
3 responses we hope to hear- seeking supporters’ counsel. the answer should be “Yes”
But we must look to other models-
Indecisiveness- the mature ability to make own decisions.
Human freedom, A Friendly Listener (without directive interference.)
Frustration from Silence.- Guidance not just sympathy, from God.
Consulting Experts-Finitude (professionalist) vs infinitude (God).
Where God draws the line- God’s Hesitance to intervene? Psalm 25.14
Intimacy- God Longs for Intimacy. And maintaining a love relationship. Psalm 27.8
A Trip- escape pressures or appriciating the Psalms.
Retreat –Discord between two types of psalms. Again it is Psams 21 to 25.
Make a spiritual Journal. And record your intimate relationship with your Lord.
1cor 2.12
God Guides in Subtle ways;
By feeding ideas into our minds, speaking through a nagging sensation of disatisfaction,
Inspiring us to choose better than we otherwise would have done, bringing to the surface hidden dangers of temptation and perhaps by rearranging certain circumstances.
God’s guidance will supply real help, but in ways that will not overwhelm my freedom.
Faith is Nourished- God guidance becomes not an end in ifself but only one more means God uses in nourishing faith. John 14.21
The Quiet Nudge, Subtle and Indirect,, A Crossroad in Career, Insomnia?
God speaks through Insomnia? The message of insomnia was as direct a form of guidance as I would get. Now that look back on it, it seems startingly direct.
No Coincidence.- A pattern of God’s Hand-They seemed no more extraordinary than any other event in our life.. Focusing on the Present- How is my relationship to God? As circumstances change, for better of work, will I respond with obedience and trust.
Guidance only becomes clear as we look backward.
At tht momen, my future is a big blur.
My present is a daily struggle to crank out more words and a desire to grow in relationship with God himself.
But my past- looking there, at last I can see a pattern.
A picture is being painted, for me, for all who are called the sons and daughters of God. Yet it does not take shape until enough time passes for me to stand up and look back on what colours and design have been laid down.
If I saw the pattern in advance, a sort of schema for “paint-by-numbers,”
That would leave no room for faith.
And, besides, God does not paint by numbers.
