凡事自有安排《轉貼》
手把青秧插滿田
北歐一座教堂裡,有一尊耶穌被釘在十字架上的苦像,大小和一般人差不多。因為有求必應,因此專程前來這裡祈禱,膜拜的人特別多,幾乎可以用門庭若市來形容。
教堂裡有位看門的人,看十字架上的耶穌每天要應付這麼多人的要求,覺得於心不忍,他希望能分擔耶穌的辛苦。
有一天他祈禱時,向耶穌表明這份心願。
意外地,他聽到一個聲音,說:「好啊!我下來為你看門,你上來釘在十字架上。但是,不論你看到什麼、聽到什麼,都不可以說一句話。」
這位先生覺得,這個要求很簡單。
於是耶穌下來,看門的先生上去,像耶穌被釘在十字架般地伸張雙臂,本來苦像就雕刻得和真人差不多,所以來膜拜的群眾不疑有詐,這位先生也依照先前的約定,靜默不語,聆聽信友的心聲。
來往的人潮絡繹不絕,他們的祈求,有合理的,有不合理的,千奇百怪不一而足。
但無論如何,他都強忍下來而沒有說話,因為他必須信守先前的承諾。
有一天來了一位富商,當富商祈禱完後,竟然忘記手邊的錢便離去。
他看在眼裡,真想叫這位富商回來,但是,他憋著不能說。
接著來了一位三餐不繼的窮人,他祈禱耶穌能幫助它渡過生活的難關。
當要離去時,發現先前那位富商留下的袋子,打開,裏面全是錢。窮人高興得不得了,耶穌真好,有求必應,萬分感謝地離去。
十字架上偽裝的耶穌看在眼裏,想告訴他,這不是你的。但是,約定在先,他仍然憋著不能說。
接下來有一位要出海遠行的年輕人來到,他是來祈求耶穌降福他平安。
正當要離去時,富商衝進來,抓住年輕人的衣襟,要年輕人還錢,年輕人不明究理,兩人吵了起來。
這個時候,十字架上偽裝的耶穌終於忍不住,遂開口說話了...
既然事情清楚了,富商便去找冒牌耶穌所形容的窮人,而年輕人則匆匆離去,生怕搭不上船。
偽裝成看門的耶穌出現,指著十字架上說:「你下來吧!那個位置你沒有資格了。」
看門人說:「我把真相說出來,主持公道,難道不對嗎?」
耶穌說:「你懂得什麼?那位富商並不缺錢,他那袋錢不過用來嫖妓,可是對那窮人,卻是可以挽回一家大小生計;最可憐的是那位年輕人,如果富商一直纏下去,延誤了他出海的時間,他還能保住一條命,而現在,他所搭乘的船正沉入海中。」
這是一個聽起來像笑話的寓言故事,卻透露出:『在現實生活中,我們常自認為怎麼樣才是最好的,但事與願違,使我們意不能平。我們必須相信:目前我們所擁有的,不論順境、逆境,都是對我們最好的安排。若能如此,我們才能在順境中感恩,在逆境中依舊心存喜樂。』

Shameful Portrait of Accountants
Well I'm a CPA and that's what I do
I know it doesn't sound sexy to you
But I can tell you I'm a person of repute
And it's all because I belong to the 'Tute
CHORUS
I wear a suit
I belong to the 'Tute
I wear a suit
I belong to the 'Tute
Now accountants are seen as boring and bland
We're no movie stars or guys in a band
But you'll see us in action when you give us your loot
Because we're the folks who belong to the 'Tute
CHORUS
You can tell that we're good because we've got QP
It don't come easy and it don't come free
Those long lettered people ain't so astute
It takes just three letters to belong to the 'Tute
CPA, CPA, CPA
I want to withdraw from the membership after watching this disgusting Ad. I don't think this ad can help promoting the 'Tute or encouraging the young people to be CPAs at all. What a waste of money - our hard-earning money! Can I get the membership fee refund?

How Much is My Blog Worth?
My blog is worth $0.00.
How much is your blog worth?
How much is your blog worth? Check it out here!
I have no idea about its basis of calculation, probably based on the average number of visitors to the blog. Though some folks find my blog very boring, terrible and full of noises, I'm glad that it is not a negative equity to my balance sheet. And, according to the above website, my blog is actually worth no less than www.google.com and www.amazon.com. :p

過境學英語(後記)
一隻手指代表"Fine" 以應付"How're you?"
兩隻手指代表"Vancouver" 以應付"Where do you come from?"
三隻手指代表"Seattle" 以應付"Where will you go?"
四隻手指代表"Day Tour" 以應付"How do you get here?"
五隻手指代表"Ng xx xx - 娃兒的名字" 以應付"What's your name?"
經過地獄式訓練後,精靈的娃兒當然成功過關啦!Give Me Five!! 哈哈哈!
