Asia Conference Day2

My dear xiao hui was sick with sore throat, some bacterial infections and fever on AC first day. It's sad for it's only the first day and she's committed to serve all five days from morning to night. Dear, please take good care of yourself when I'm not with you, you know I concern and worry about your health more than my own. By faith I believe our mighty God will heal you completely, and very soon. And thank God you were much better and well enough to fulfill your duty tonight when I saw you.

Father I pray you protect and heal my dear in Jesus' name!

27/05, AC second day. Everything went on smoothly as expected. Tonight I was greatly impressed, or I shall say God impressed me greatly by Ps. Phil Pringle's extraordinary charm and preaching power. His speech was full of confidence, full of passion and full of conviction. His sentences were short and fiery, his tone was high and firm, his eyes were bright and piercing, his body movements were steady and strong, together with his gentleness towards his wife and daughter, I say Ps. Phil Pringle possesses all the criterions of a strong and gentle man that I can tell. I was amazed. Every man is himself, will never be the same as anybody else. But if I say I want to be like anybody when I turn 30 and older, the 'anybody' would be Ps. Phil Pringle.

A strong man, in body and in heart; 

A great leader, wise and unshakable; 

A pillar in family, strong and loving;

A son of God, holy and mighty.

God, I desire, I discipline myself, to be more like Jesus, to love my special ones better, to glorify Your name!

Asia Conference Day1

Thank God for this event. Father, we won't have this great event if it's not for Your name. All glory to You!

26/05/2010. First night session was unbelievable. Glory to God, and credits go to all the creative and exciting performances, the fantastic sound and light systems, the cool live praise and worship, the inspiring testimony sharing from an Indian pastor and wife, the words from Ps. Kong, the presence of many great men of God, the hearts of thousands of followers, and the love of God of course. Everything was perfect, the session went on perfectly well, everybody enjoyed and satisfied, overall, it takes no doubt to define it as a BIG SUCCESS.

How about my own perspective and personal experience? With all the aforementioned work, this Asia Conference2010(AC) is a great celebration in my eyes. Of course AC is about much more, but before everyone receive their blessings, visions, revelations, Ramah words, etc., it's also good for us to celebrate, and witness how Christians can do great work, achieve great goals in life for God's sake. 

Among everything, AC is a celebration, to celebrate City Harvest's achievements, to celebrate Christians' faith,  unity, victories, to celebrate God's greatness. 

We can achieve great victories in life, everyone of us, if we put God first every single day.

Father I pray

• You protect my dear when she's traveling outside.
• Strengthen her physically and mentally when she's tired and give her peaceful sleep every night.
• Protect her from sore throat, running nose, asthma and any diseases.
• Lead her through during the asia conference with unforgettable experience.
• Also give me wisdom to complete attachment well.
• Give me strength to always stay strong, to lead myself and people around me into fruitfulness and joyfulness.
• Bless the relationship so that xiao hui and I know how to love each other more and meet each other's needs better.
• Bless and protect our families in health and daily life. I pray they will believe in Jesus and live in the joy of Your kingdom together with us.
• Bless our friends and let us be a blessing to them.

Thank You, Father. We love You!

Mobile phone and brain tumors -- No clear link

A widely concerned topic ever since the invention of mobile phone. Here the INTERPHONE project, the largest study ever on mobile phone use and cancer risk, are decidedly inconclusive, which means we can't say the use of mobile phone leads to the occurrence of brain tumors.

This is a fairly helpful report even though it didn't show any precise result. At least we don't need to worry so much about the radiation of mobile phone, that we burden our hearts every time when we pick up a phone call.

Life is still very good, full of colors with all the technologies, and it will be even more enjoyable when we stop our groundless worries (杞人忧天).

p.s.2: I also consider this a good news for those madly-in-love couples who can talk on phone for hours sweetly and tirelessly, where I count dear and me in. : ) Oh my thought has flied away from this scientific study to my dearest xiao hui. Love is great. I love you, xiao hui!

Red meat leads to cancers, processed red meat even worse

Red meat is basically all the meat which is red when raw, including pork, beef, lamb and actually all mammal meat which we eat every day. Some may know, some may not know, red meat has been associated with many cancers such as breast cancer, stomach cancer, bladder cancer, etc. and especially colorectal cancer. Rather bad news, and that's not all, eating processed red meat is even worse.

A recently published study has shown that eating 50 g of processed meat per day--the equivalent of one typical hot dog, or two slices of deli meat--was associated with a 42% higher risk of coronary heart disease and a 19% increased risk of diabetes. This result is attributed to the fact that processed meats had about 4 times the amount of sodium and 50% more preservatives, such as nitrates, than the unprocessed red meat.

This sounds scary, but don't be overly scared by this fact, cancers and CV diseases are linked to large amount of red meat consumption only. Thus we don't necessarily need to stop eating the delicious pork and beef dishes. Moderated amount of red meat makes us happy and healthy, and eating more fruits, vegetables and fish is always a healthy lifestyle that leads to longevity.

p.s.1: I ate fish & spaghetti as dinner, which is an immediate effect from this post. And I will order fish rather than red meat more often for dear and myself from now on, which I know my dear will happily support.
