作為一個學會的職員, 最開心莫過於離開一陣子後回來發現很多新面口, 因為這證明我們仍然繼續增長. 同時間我也感到一點兒無奈, 因為錯過了很多. 我更無可否認心中有一種與團友疏離的感覺. 這現實令我期待著半年後當我再次踏入CCF門口的日子...

在CCF的日子有限, 各位團友要好好珍惜, 亦別忘記與其他朋友分享啊...

今日返工的時間, 同lab instructor 傾了幾句. 傳福音, 真的要選適當的時間和觀察入微

她說, 以前有一個summer intern的dental student. 她很討厭他, 不單因為那學生為人驕傲, 不分尊卑, 遇因為他在一個science lab 入面將所有大大小小的事也relate 到christianity. 我的lab instructor 知識上當然比那學生多, 加上lab 入面的其他人大部份也是athesist or buddist, 跟本就是從世界各地而來, 每人也有不同的背景和文化. 那學生的行為, 完全是識少少扮代表. 令各人也being annoyed. lab instructor 甚至形容他的行為是"preaching". 更壞的是, 那學生某些時間會告訴lab instructor " I have to stop this experiment now. I have other things to do" 然後其他人發現那學生是要去region 那裡. instructor said " we all come here to find out some fact. There should be nothing related to religion"

那時間. 我真的覺得啞口無言. 我有很多很多話可以說, 但我卻在那刻打不到一個可以精簡地解釋那只不過是一個extreme (and bad) case. 我地平時所受的教導並不是這樣的. 但是我已能感受到lab instructor 反感的情緒. 我怕我任何解釋也只會越描越黑, 結果我對那人的行為, 只表示了不認同, 也沒有什麼可做. 真的很無奈.

我更明白到要傳福音, 真的要選對時間, 還要對自己的態度反常小心. 我地其身不正的話. 對方如果已經對我們沒什麼好感, 做起來一定會弄巧反拙.

唔知大家遇到呢種情況, 會有咩方法解決? 我真係好唔開心. 好不滿自己轉數慢, 又唔夠班. 如果我可以o係o個陣, 諗倒個好的eg. 去counterattack ..或者去好好解釋下, 應該會好好多

yeah.. more photos from last Saturday's debate match with ADC. =)

UBCCCF Thursday's Regular Gathering: Debate! - Mar 29, 2007

Debate 之後 : D
March 24th 2007

記唔記得好耐之前我post 過我睇完民數記的第七章, 唔知佢因乜原因將一樣的獻祭方法寫12次?

Thanks Alan~ 我o係<<讀經不跳頁>>呢本書搵倒答案啦.

整本書也在圍繞聖經中特別枯燥的經文, 解釋俾我地聽點解要睇呢d 經文. 當中也有d幾有趣的段落.

講返民數記第七章, 整章記載左十二支派奉獻給主的十二份一式一樣的清單. 我初初睇咁做未免太多餘了吧...

原來當中係有佢的意義的.

一. 其實十二支派代青所有神的兒女, 雖然佢地大小, 財富德行上都冇所不同, 但係o係神眼中都係平等的.
二. 間接顯出"壇"的特殊之處 (不過這個我反而覺得不太是重複十二次的原因. 說一次也可以做到同樣效果.. 所以我唔長寫啦. 有興趣的自己睇啦. )

作者將聖經入面枯燥經文比喻為我們日常飲食中的食物纖維. 是必需的. 係對我地有益的. 所以大家都唔好怕悶, 唔好跳左唔睇呀!

**excuse me 今次寫口語. 太耐冇寫野唔識寫啦

Woo hoo~ A video taken on Feb 1st 2007, CCF second-time outdoor Singspiration on UBC campus! Check it out!
I can hear Mandy so clearly! ~ Sylvia was the camera girl! Thank you Sylvia.
=P

Give Thanks... Give Thanks to our Lord who carries our each step everyday, who reigns over us, empowers us and enables us in everything we do... Things seemingly impossible just become possible under God's work.

Are you a coffee person, who without the cup of coffee in the morning, just don't feel like yourself for the rest of the day? Or you need coffee to keep you awake at night so that you can finish up your school papers or projects?

The rest of us, who aren't coffee ppl, may have other things that we rely on or cling and attache to for motivation/momentum... could be a cheesecake, a cartoon series, etc, could be money,...power, ... reputation... you name it. But how long and how far can such things keep us going?

People without hope will become lost. (Agree?) God gives us the hope, the true hope. And this hope enables and encourages us to dream. Dream big or dream small... I am so grateful that I have the ability to dream. What about you?

Never give up on the dreams we have. God will turn them into reality for us, as long as we wake up, walk with faith and live the dreams.

... what do you envision ... today?

上個禮拜四的CCF周會：人生交叉點，系一個既好玩又非常有啟發性的周會。Alan 以storytelling 的形式 讓我門每個人都有認真思考的機會，思考 issues over work ethics as well as our Christian witness in the workplace/business world.

Erico, Kent, Suki and Vivian 都“自願”參與Role Play 去飾演故事人物. 話系話Role Play啦，不過最初都系sit at the front 眉來眼去，聽Alan 講述劇情的發展然后用表情演戲。哈哈。 It may be more difficult that way. Who knows?! =) But it's certainly fun to watch.

Well, hope everyone agree that life is full of obstacles - problems and challenges, especially in the secular/business world where people strive for profits and benefits. When we face problems such as moral prolems that challenge our (Christian) values and belief, how should we respond and react to those? When it comes to a time where a decision must be made and it's an either-or situation, what will you base your decision on? It's important to take in to consideration of the whole picture. And as Alan said, there's not perfect situation on either side.

How to keep good work eithics? How to maintain Christian values in the business world? After last week's CCF, I think it all boils down to making the right decisions, cuz every time we are challenged, the challenge will cause us to make decision(s)... And I believe the decisions we make today shape who we are in the future.

---------------------------------------------

by the way, if you missed last week's CCF, it's too bad that there's no recording for this one. But there are some pictures you can enjoy. (Click here to the photo album.)

Also, if you want to find mp3's of some previous CCF's this term, go to AFC Speaks and search for them. (Thanks Alan for recording and posting them on the internet!) A lot of great workshops and lectures you will want to listen as well. =P
