Tens of tall buildings around the harbour joined in the firework!
Also the 工展會 Annual market at my park downstairs!
See, not many people at the market when the
fireworks took place, everybody rush to the
seashore for the building lighting and New Year 2008 Fireworks!

Hi Koala Gal,
I just put a tag blessing on my blog for you. See www.naminghisgrace.blogspot.com. I have enjoyed your comments on my blog.
Hi Viola!!
May our triune God be with you always and bless your family!!
I am so surprised and grateful to our Lord and you for your kindness and prayer!
I've just got your message on my blog and checked back here and your other question regarding my church.
I was baptised in the Mount Pleasant Baptist church in Wales, UK when I did my university in 1997. I then returned home and have been attending the Truth Lutheran church with my university friends ever since.
My church has a gradual increase from 300 to 800 attenders in the past decade. It is a very traditional Lutheran church.
We join all Lutheran churches in our town every year for short missionary trips in Thailand, Cambodia, and the Fiji Island. I am learning some Thai to join the Thai mission this Summer and in 2009, before I leave for US in 2010 for Christian-based Psychology Internship.
I have been striving hard doing & yet-to-do what I am called for, pastoral care for people in psychiatric conditions , serving here-and-now, while I am getting the appropriate training. I still haven't get a clue where and what program I should apply to in US for such integration of spirituality and clinical psychology.
Our church's Sunday school has 23 different classes for about 200 students. I am teaching 1 Corinthians, and am on Love and Marriage now. I came across Rev LB Smedes' of Fuller Theological seminary Love within limits. A very GOOD book!!!! I sent out these Summary of Rev Smedes' elaboration of St Paul's Love Song as weekly reflections for classmates.
My blessing tags for my blogger friends!
Happy New Year! Nice to hear from you after a long while.
Thanks for the tag. I will respond to it later. Shalom

Hi Viola!

Hope that you be blessed by Rev Smedes' words on Love too!

Oh, Spanish-speaking Mexico!!! I have never been to Mexico, US!
yeah, I am praying to God that He'd lead me to somewhere that'd help me to serve others, and esp the disturbed souls.

Hi
I'm Sina (It's a male name!!) and I'm Iranian.
I just read your profile and have a question;
Would you please tell me what "Tin Toaism" is? I mean the basics. You said you've converted. I'm a Muslim and I'd be glad to know more about it. I've never heard about it before. :)
Thanks in advance.
Hi Sina!!
Shalom!!!!
Thank you for posting and your interest! Wow! Nice meeting you too from China!
Tin = Sky or the Divine
Tao = Road or the teachings
Tin Taoism is the teachings/road that lead one back to the Divine (God).
It teaches that all 5 major religions (Buddhism, Confucionism, Toaism, Christianity, Islam) are expressions of this Road in different cultures, and it is this Road that people should come to finally, and it brings people back to the origin of life, the Divine Creator.
It is mainly combining Buddhism, Confucionism, Taoism in China, and proliferate most in Taiwan, the home of the religion since a few decades ago. Christianity and Islam are later additions in post-modern times.
These 3 (B, Conf, T)are really atheistic religions, and Tin Taoism ADD back the Divine/God into the philosophy as the key and uniting force.
So Tin Taoism ADDs back "Tin" into the 3 great religions in China.
It is better to look at it that way then putting also Christianity and Islam. The latter two has much more similarity than the first 3. I only come to know more about Islam when I studied in a Theological Seminary, and see many many commonalities between the two.
I watched the French movie "I grow up in Iran". I think the comic book has much more faithful and positive description of her Muslim belief than the movie.
Have you watched the movie? Do you think it is a good protrait for Iran????
I think she is from a very rich family, and not the usual Iranian...
I don't know..
Hey Sina,
Do most people in Iran speak English? So I can get around OK with English if I travel here???
Do a lot of people know Standard Arabic or Eygptian Arabic here?
What languages are spoken here?
Very very curious....
In China, most people speak a mother tongue of their hometown, and Mandarin (the official and unifying Chinese), and usually also English.
Is there a unifying language in Iran????
Cheers!
Have a nice weekend!
Yawah bless you!
