Communication
There is an enormous communication industry in the world that is stamping out words like buttons. Words are transmit by television, radio, telegraph, satellite, cable, newspaper, magazine. But the words are not personal. Implicit in this enormous communication industry is an enormous lie: if we improve communications we will improve life. It has not happened and it will not happen. Often when we find out what a person "has to say," we like him or her less, not more. Better communication often worsens international relations. We know about each other as nations and religions than we ever have before in history, and we seem to like each other less. Counselors know that when spouses learn to communication more clearly, it leads to divorce as often as it does to reconciliation.
Stay clear of pious talk that is only talk. Words are not mere words, you know. If they're not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul.
2 Timothy 2:16-17

Everything I Know - SANDII
See the bird upon the tree finally at home
Is the birdsong not so sweet cause it is alone?
“Little birdie” says the tree
“You’re not own your own”
Bird is you tree is me
That is only everything I know
See the boat upon the sea faraway it goes
Where it heads a mystery only sea will know
With each one for company love can only grow
Boat is you sea is me
That is only everything I know
I love you oh how I love you so
I love you that is only everything I know
See the flower and the bee how they seem so close
Understanding’s all the need
Love is al they show
Then the honey can be sweet and the flower grows
Flower’s you bee is me
That is only everything I know
I love you….Oh how I love you so
I love you….That is only everything I know
That is only everything I know
[是否真愛我]
一棵樹問一片土 你是否真愛我
或你只是貼著我 陪你度秋冬
我的枝與我的根 已植進你懷中
不問秋 不問冬
只想問你是否真愛我
一朵花問一隻蜂 你是否真愛我
或你只是吻著我 不擔我的愁
我的心與我的夢 都讓你帶走
不問心 不問夢
只想問你是否真愛我
一艘船問一面海 你是否真愛我
或你只是依著我 帶你天地遊
我的帆與我的槳 任你催著走
不問天 不問地
只想問你是否真愛我

I know this song in Chinese version very well, grrr... it was a hit about 16 years ago...>.< I am so lucky to find the English version today and realize that the same feeling but expressed in different ways. In Chinese version, the title is "If you love me in truth?"; however, in English version, it asks no question but describe about the belief in their love. I love it! I like English version more. GOD IS LOVE!

Epiphany （顯現節）
Today us Epiphany. The Life-Light gets shared beyond.
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem village, Judah territory--this was during Herod's kingship--a band of scholars arrived in Jerusalem from the East. They asked around, "Where can we find and pay homage to the new born King of the Jews? We observed a star in the eastern sky that signed his birth. We're on pilgrimage to worship him."
When word of their inquiry got to Herod, he was terrified--and not Herod alone, but most of Jerusalem as well. Herod lost no time. He gathered all the high priests and religion scholars in the city together and asked, "Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?"
They told him, "Bethlehem, Judah territory. The prophet Micah wrote it plainly:
"'It's you, Bethlehem, in Judah's land,
no longer bringing up the rear.
From you will come the leader
who will shepherd-rule my people, my Israel.' "
Herod then arranged a secret meeting with the scholars from the East. Pretending to be as devout as they were, he got them to tell him exactly when the birth-announcement star appeared. Then he told them the prophecy about Bethlehem, and said, "Go find this child. Leave no stone unturned. As soon as tou find him, send word and I'll join you ar once in your worship."
Instructed by the king, they set off. Then the star appeared again, the same star they had seen in the eastern skies. It led them on until it hovered over the place of the child. They could hardly contain themselves: They were in the right place! They had arrived at the right time!
They entered the house and saw the child in the arms of Mary, his mother. Oversome, they kneeled and worship him. Then they opened their luggage and presented gifts: gold, frankincense, myrrh.
In a dream, they were warned not to report to Herod. So they worked out another route, left the territory without being seen, and returned to their own county.
Matthew 2:1-3

And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going
And I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man I'll ever know.
There's no way I can ever go,
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
I'm not livin' without you.
I don't want to be free.
I'm stayin',
I'm stayin',
And you, and you, you're gonna love me.
Ooh, you're gonna love me.
And I am telling you
I'm not going,
Even though the rough times are showing.
There's just no way,
There's no way.
We're part of the same place.
We're part of the same time.
We both share the same blood.
We both have the same mind.
And time and time we have so much to share,
No, no, no,
No, no, no,
I'm not wakin' up tomorrow mornin'
And findin' that there's nobody there.
Darling, there's no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
I'm not livin' without you.
You see, there's just no way,
There's no way.
Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and shout.
You can say what you want,
I'm not walkin' out.
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike, and kill.
I'm not gonna leave you,
There's no way I will.
And I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man I'll ever know.
There's no way I can ever, ever go,
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
Oh, I'm not livin' without you,
I'm not livin' without you.
I don't wanna be free.
I'm stayin',
I'm stayin',
And you, and you,
You're gonna love me.
Oh, hey, you're gonna love me,
Yes, ah, ooh, ooh, love me,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, love me,
Love me,
Love me,
Love me,
Love me.
You're gonna love me.
