Oct1,07補鈣 增患心臟病機率Chances of heart attack by calcium+ 歌唱吧!Sing!

靈命日糧 - 2007年10月1日
歌唱吧!
讀經: 歷代志上16章23-27節
金句: 「要向他唱詩、歌頌,談論他一切奇妙的作為。」(歷代志上16章9節)
全年讀經: 以賽亞書11-13章;以弗所書4章

我們在波易斯市的家緊鄰著一座公園,我幾乎每天早晨都在那裡散步。在同一時段,有位年長的婦女也在那兒散步。她是順時針走,我是逆時針行,因此每走一圈我們就會碰頭兩次。
她的雙眼周圍佈滿皺紋,卻明亮可人;她的臉上也有不少皺紋,笑起來時就更多了,而她笑的時候,會讓人覺得她整張臉都在笑!她患有老人癡呆症。
我們初次碰面時,她問我:「我唱了歌嗎?」我答道:「女士,還沒有!」於是她唱了關於太陽的小曲:「早安,太陽公公……。」她面帶微笑,像祝福般舉起雙手,接著又繼續往前走。
我們各自繞著圈子走了半圈,最後我們又相遇了。她又問:「我唱過歌了嗎?」我回答:「再唱一次吧!」她果然又唱了一次,那歡樂的曲調不斷在我腦中縈繞,揮之不去。
她就是我最想成為的那一種人,在世間的道路上奔走,內心不住歌唱,湧出優美的旋律,歌頌那公義的日頭,其光線有醫治之能(瑪拉基書4章2節),使人對他的愛產生深刻印象,久久不能忘懷。
願他的歌今日在你心上、在你口中,使許多人聽見,也來信靠主。DHR
我心內常有美妙音樂,是主細語溫柔聲:「我與你同在,不要憂懼,」主賜平安雨或晴。Bridgers
心中有歌,臉上就有笑容。

Sing psalms to Him; talk of all His wondrous works! —1 Chronicles 16:9
-->About this cover

Our home in Boise is next to a park where I walk most mornings. An elderly woman walks there at the same time. She walks clockwise and I walk counter-clockwise, which means that we meet twice each lap.
She has the most lovely, crinkly eyes and wrinkled face that wrinkles even more when she smiles. When she smiles, her whole face smiles!
She has Alzheimer’s.
The first time we meet she asks, “Have I sung my song?” I say, “No, ma’am.” And she sings a little song about the sun: “Good morning, Mr. Sunshine . . .” Then she smiles, raises her hands in a kind of blessing, and moves on.
So we go our separate ways—180 degrees around the circle—until we meet again. She asks, “Have I sung my song?” I say, “Sing it again!” And she does. I can’t get her delightful song out of my mind.
She has become a parable of the kind of person I want to be—making my way through the world, singing and making melody in my heart, singing of the Sun of Righteousness who has risen with healing in His wings (Mal. 4:2), leaving behind a lingering memory of His love.
May His song be on your heart and lips this day. And may many hear and put their trust in the Lord. —David H. RoperDavid H. Roper-->
There’s within my heart a melody,Jesus whispers sweet and low,"Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,"In all of life’s ebb and flow. —Bridgers
A song in your heart puts a smile on your face.

補鈣 增患心臟病機率
●紐西蘭奧克蘭大學一項研究發現,鈣質雖然可幫助預防骨質疏鬆,但卻可能增加患心臟病及中風的機會。 研究人員以1500名已停經的婦女作對象,部分參加者五年來持續每日服用一千毫克的鈣補充劑,分量相當於每日攝取四分奶品的鈣質,發現服用鈣補充劑人士患心臟病的機會增加四成,有36人患上心臟病,反觀沒服用鈣補充劑的人只有22人患病。
授里德表示,患心臟病的人血管內會積聚鈣,服用鈣補充劑令這情況加劇。研究建議心臟或腎臟有問題的人,應採用其他方法預防骨質疏鬆。(本報綜合報導)

Sep30,07 散步 治老人健忘症最好良藥Walking governance elderly amnesia +別再划槳 Don’t R

靈命日糧 - 2007年9月30日
別再划槳
讀經: 以弗所書3章14-21節
金句: 「求他按著他豐盛的榮耀,藉著他的靈,叫你們心裏的力量剛強起來。」(以弗所書3章16節)
全年讀經: 以賽亞書9-10章;以弗所書3章

在一個艷陽高照的日子,奧和未婚妻貝絲在威斯康辛湖旁野餐,他的未婚妻很想吃冰淇淋。於是,這個年輕的挪威新移民高興地來回划了5英哩的船,精疲力竭地帶回一罐融化了的冰淇淋。當時奧就想,一定會有更好的辦法,於是他就開始運用自己在機械方面的才智。一年後,也就是1907年,奧·埃溫魯德(Ole Evinrude)實地測試了可用於小船的輕型分離式發動機。後來他娶了貝絲。當舷外發動機投入商業生產時,貝絲寫了一句廣告詞:「別再划槳!把槳扔了!」
埃溫魯德不是一位偷懶的年輕人,但他深知人類能力有限。每天我們都使用機器來完成我們生活中的工作,但我們在事奉上帝時,卻是頑固地倚靠自己。在以弗所書第3章,使徒保羅講到一種更好的方式:「求他按著他豐盛的榮耀,藉著他的靈,叫你們心裏的力量剛強起來」(16節)。使徒保羅敦促信徒不要憑藉自己的努力,卻要從上帝那裏支取力量,因為「上帝能照著運行在我們心裏的大力,充充足足地成就一切,超過我們所求所想的」(20節)。
別再划槳!請領受並運用上帝的能力。DCM
心靈肉體若脆弱,痛苦難忍挑不動;壓傷蘆葦主不折,反而堅固又支撐。Whittier
若我們倚靠上帝的能力,必能按他旨意行。

Don’t Row
READ: Ephesians 3:14-21
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. —Ephesians 3:16
-->About this cover

During a picnic on a scorching day at a Wisconsin lake, Ole’s fiancée Bess said how much she would enjoy some ice cream. So the young Norwegian immigrant gladly made a 5-mile round-trip by rowboat to bring it to her. When he returned exhausted with a container of melted ice cream, Ole told himself there must be a better way. He put his mechanical mind to work, and a year later in 1907, Ole Evinrude field-tested his lightweight, detachable motor for small boats. He married Bess, and when the outboard motors went into commercial production, she wrote the advertising slogan: “Don’t Row! Throw the Oars Away!”
Ole Evinrude was not a lazy man, but he understood the limits of human power. Each day we employ machinery to accomplish the tasks of life. But we often stubbornly rely on ourselves when we’re trying to serve God. In Ephesians 3, the apostle Paul wrote of a better way: “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man” (v.16). Instead of self-effort, Paul urged believers to find strength in “Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (v.20).
Don’t row! Receive and use God’s power. —David C. McCaslandDavid C. McCasland-->
And if my heart and flesh are weakTo bear an untried pain,The bruised reed He will not break,But strengthen and sustain. —Whittier
We can do whatever God wants us to do if we depend on His power to do it.

散步 治老人健忘症最好良藥

 每天慢走4-5公里,能減少患胃潰瘍和十二指腸潰瘍的風險。【中新網】據北京青年報報導,運動有益於身心健康,並能預防疾病,這已是醫學家們的共識。那麼,體育運動究竟能防治哪些疾病呢?
高血壓
德國運動醫學專家建議人們從事行走、慢跑、騎自行車、輪滑和游泳等運動。這些耐久性運動對預防高血壓非常有效。需要注意的是運動量不要過大,因為身體的突然緊張會使血壓急劇升高。
骨質疏鬆
科研人員編排了一種混合鍛鍊方式,可以延緩婦女的骨質疏鬆。患者至少每週進行兩次訓練,每次一個小時。具體分解為:20分鐘行走、跑步或增氧健身運動;然後5分鐘跳繩、40分鐘力量訓練(13種不同器械),從而使所有的肌肉群得到鍛鍊。
憂鬱症
研究顯示,慢跑能讓憂鬱、消沉的患者釋放出快樂激素。具體運動方式為:每天30分鐘間隔訓練(跑步、行走、跑步),幾天后患者的情緒將明顯好轉。美國的一項試驗表明,接受半年增氧訓練(每天半小時)的患者比服藥者有明顯效果。原因在於體育運動讓他們感到快樂,從而克服了憂鬱。
陽痿
對於有性功能障礙的人,專家要求他們必須每天跑步、騎自行車、做操和力量性練習(例如壓腿)。
關節炎和背疼
以前人們認為得了關節炎要少活動,現在認識到體育鍛鍊能有效治療關節炎。醫學專家說:「關節軟骨是靠關節液體提供養分的」,因此應有針對性地讓背、肩、髖和膝等疼痛的患者做醫療體操。游泳、騎自行車以及水上體操也都有益於關節的保護。
癌症
耐久性運動項目能降低各種癌症的發病率。運動醫學科研人員認為,徒步旅行、游泳或跑步能增強乳腺癌患者的免疫功能。另外,運動還能減輕治療後出現的疲勞。但前提是循序漸進,運動量不要過大,每週3次,每次30分鐘。
胃潰瘍
專家指出:每天慢走4-5公里能減少患胃潰瘍和十二指腸潰瘍的風險,也許還能抑制胃酸。
緊張和失眠
有兩種治療方式:一種是持續時間長而不太激烈的耐久性運動項目;另一種是速度較快的球類項目,例如壁球,它有益於減少血液中的應激性激素。入睡前散步30分鐘的效果非常好,幾乎一半的失眠患者情況都有明顯好轉,但是行走的速度不宜太慢。
體重超重
堅持長期減肥是必要的,但還必須輔以耐久性和力量性運動,其中包括徒步行走、騎自行車。至少每週5次,這樣能消耗許多熱量。
健忘症
專家指出,散步是治療健忘症最好的良藥。老年人堅持每週散步3-5次,每次半小時,記憶會明顯增強,感覺就像年輕了15歲一樣。

鑑戒
讀經: 以弗所書5章8-21節
金句: 「因為現今的世代邪惡,不要作糊塗人。」(以弗所書5章16-17節)
全年讀經: 以賽亞書7-8章;以弗所書2章

一位病人住進佛羅里達醫院,他因為生命受到威脅而必須做截肢手術,可是當他從麻醉中醒來後,卻發現自己被截錯了腳;同一家醫院的另一位病人,在動膝蓋手術時,也是在不該開的膝蓋上動了刀。
醫療系統的辯護人指出,諸如此類的玩忽職守案例,就像空難事故一樣,它們實在是新聞,因為發生的機率太低了。佛羅里達醫院的主管階層,為了避免錯誤再次發生,就推出了一項計劃,在病人健康的肢體上用黑色粗筆寫個大大的「不」字。
聖經同樣敦促我們,不要只是認識到以往的過犯,更要下決心遠離邪惡。使徒保羅警告以弗所的信徒說,至於「那暗昧無益的事,不要與人同行」(以弗所書5章11節)。主耶穌救我們不被定罪,但因著我們的罪性,我們仍有受傷害及失喪的危險。我們的肉體依然讓我們偏向錯誤及危險(加拉太書5章16-17節)。
許多事已經改變,我們跟上帝的關係也已經改變,過去對未來沒有盼望,如今已有光明的應許。我們有機會順服聖靈,並與良善的主同行,他絕不會傷害我們。MRDⅡ
想一想:羅馬書7章15-25節裏記載什麼衝突?我們要如何勝過那場爭戰?(羅馬書8章12-13節)當我們被聖靈帶領時會有何事發生?(14-17節)
智者不只認錯,還要努力避免重蹈覆轍。

Magic-Marker Wisdom
READ: Ephesians 5:8-21
The days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise. —Ephesians 5:16-17
-->About this cover

A patient checked in to a Florida hospital for a life-saving amputation. He awoke to find that the wrong foot had been removed. In the same hospital, another patient had surgery on the wrong knee.
Defenders of the healthcare system point out that such tragic cases of malpractice are like airline crashes—they are newsworthy because they are so rare. In that Florida hospital, officials responded with a plan to avoid what could go wrong: Staffers now write “NO” with a black Magic Marker on the healthy limb.
The Bible also urges that we do more than just recognize our past wrongs; we must take decisive steps to avoid evil. Paul warned the believers in Ephesus to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness” (Eph. 5:11). Christ has delivered us from condemnation, but we still risk temporary harm and loss because of our sinful tendencies. Our flesh still inclines us toward error and danger (Gal. 5:16-17).
But much has changed. Our relationship with God has changed. Our once hopeless future is now bright with promise. We have the opportunity to submit to His Spirit and to walk with the One who does good rather than thoughtless harm. —Mart De HaanMart De Haan-->
Thinking It OverWhat conflict is described in Romans 7:15-25?How may we win that battle? (Romans 8:12-13).What happens when we are led by the Spirit? (vv.14-17).
Wise people don’t just admit wrongs, they strive to avoid a repeat performance.

Dear Friend, Life is precious, friends are precious whether they are life-long, committed or just for a certain period of time. We are here to learn a lesson, this lesson is different from one person to another. Until we learn that lesson, otherwise, life after life, we have to come back to learn it and grow from it. Treasure every friend that you meet, everything that this relationship may teach you, grow from it and be happy. Have a good day.Sister Jessie
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOUR HEART IS,
Look where your mind goes when it wander. I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their e-mail. Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here goes:
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Send this to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who sent it to you.

I wonder what mine will be.
GUARDIAN ANGEL Forward this message the same day you received it. It may sound ridiculous, but it is right on time We believe that something is about to happen.

Sep28,07壹句話Word's Power +關照他人 Looking Out For Others

靈命日糧 - 2007年9月28日
關照他人
讀經: 腓立比書2章3-8節
金句: 「各人不要單顧自己的事,也要顧別人的事。」(腓立比書2章4節)
全年讀經: 以賽亞書5-6章;以弗所書1章

當我們捨己時,就能彰顯主耶穌的本性,因為他的本性就是總為別人著想,很少想到自己。正是如此他才能謙卑自己,而做到「存心順服,以至於死」(腓立比書2章8節)。
我們的天性是優先考慮自己的利益──從我們自己的需要及慾望來看一切,但藉著主耶穌的幫助,我們可以棄絕這個習性。之後,我們就能設身處地的為別人著想,我們能看到他們的想法,感受他們所關心的事,以及他們的切身需要。
因此我們必須問自己:「我們會把別人的利益放在自己的利益之上嗎?當我們看到上帝在別人身上動工和藉著他人成就一些事,我們會高興嗎?會不會有像這種事發生在自己身上時,所產生的那種興奮和激動呢?當我們盡力幫助人時,我們是否渴望見到他人在恩典中成長並得到認可?看到屬靈的晚輩蒙召做工超過我們時,我們是否心滿意足?」若是如此,就是達到偉人的標準。
當我們全然為別人著想,不再為自己著想時,我們就更像我們的主。人的愛心沒有比這個大的(約翰福音15章13節)。DHR
主啊,賜我一顆憐憫心,對別人的需要有所負擔;藉著態度、言語和行為,我會向他們彰顯你仁慈。Fitzhugh
你越愛主,就能越愛人。

Looking Out For Others
ODB RADIO: Listen Now DownloadREAD: Philippians 2:3-8
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. —Philippians 2:4
-->About this cover

In giving of ourselves, we manifest the essence of Jesus’ character, for it has always been His nature to think more about others than He thinks of Himself. Why else would He humble Himself and become “obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Phil. 2:8).
Our natural tendency is to consider our own interests first—to look at everything from the perspective of our own needs and wants. But with Jesus’ help we can unlearn that habit. We can begin to think of the best interests of others—their wants, their concerns, their needs.
And so we must ask ourselves: Do we consider others’ interests more important than our own? Do we get as excited about what God is doing in and through them as we do about what He is doing in and through us? Do we long to see others grow in grace and gain recognition, though it may have been our efforts that made them successful? Do we find satisfaction in seeing our spiritual children surpass us in the work they are called to do? If so, such is the measurement of greatness.
We are most like our Lord when our thoughts for ourselves are lost in our thoughts for others. There is no greater love than that (John 15:13). —David H. RoperDavid H. Roper-->
Lord, grant me a heart of compassionSo burdened for others’ needsThat I will show them Your kindnessIn attitudes, words, and deeds. —Fitzhugh

壹句話
人生的成敗,常常因為一個人、一件事,甚至一句話而有決定性的影響。
尤其對人有用的一句話,勝過千言萬語。
古今中外有很多人因為別人的一句話而深受感動,甚至豁然開朗;由於「一句話」而改變一生的事例, 更是多不勝數。
美國著名的教育家和演講口才藝術家卡內基,小時候是一個非常調皮的小男孩。
他九歲的時候,父親將繼母娶進門。 他父親向新婚妻子介紹卡內基時,如是說: 「希望你注意這個全郡最壞的男孩,他實在令我頭痛, 說不定明天早晨他還會拿石頭砸你,或做出什麼壞事呢!」
出乎卡內基預料的是,繼母微笑地走到他面前,托著他的頭,注視著他。
接著告訴丈夫:「你錯了,他不是全郡最壞的男孩, 而是最聰明,只是還沒找到發洩熱忱地方的男孩。」
此話一出,卡內基的眼淚不聽使喚地滾滾而下。
就因為這一句話,建立了卡內基和繼母之間深厚的感情;也因為這一句話,成就了他立志向上的動力;
更因為這一句話,讓他日後幫助千千萬萬的人一同步上了成功之路。
「一句話」很容易說,但重要的是要能讓對方受用。
失落著的生命再造,不一定要靠能言善道的人來開導,有時僅僅是一句看起來普通的話,就能為對方帶來力量。

生命是一種學習 ,任何人在學習的過程中不免遇到困難和迷惑。
給人一句好話,讓人生命奮起飛揚,何樂而不為呢? 所以,人要常說:
第一、給人歡喜的話;
第二、給人鼓勵的話;
第三、給人肯定的話;
第四、給人讚歎的話。
多說好話,少說壞話。
不經意的一句輕浮話,有時會自毀前程,
而一句關懷別人的話,卻能讓沮喪的人有生存下去的勇氣。
因此,人要經常檢點自己的口舌,以免破壞了好姻緣。

The well-known American educator and eloquent speech Carnegie artists, childhood is a very mischievous little boys.
His nine-year-old, married father of the house will stepmother. His father introduced to the Carnegie newlywed wife, says: "I hope you pay attention to the boys across the county worst, he really makes me headache, maybe tomorrow morning he will be stoned with you, or make bad thing!"
Beyond the Carnegie expected, stepmother smile come before him, holding his head, watching him.
Then tell her husband: "You are wrong, he is not the worst of boys across the county, but the most clever, but not to find blame the enthusiasm of local boys."

撒種與收割
讀經: 加拉太書6章7-9節
金句: 「不要自欺,上帝是輕慢不得的。」(加拉太書6章7節)
全年讀經: 以賽亞書3-4章;加拉太書6章

當時我真夠無知!那時我是個中學生,有一天我放學回家,告訴母親我要去一位朋友家玩橄欖球,她卻堅持要我待在家裏做功課。於是我從後門溜了出去,在朋友家後院玩了2小時的進攻及達陣。但是在最後一局進攻時,我撞上了鞦韆架,碰掉了一顆門牙。這讓我痛徹肺腑,但告知父母後情況卻更糟。
那次不順服的結果,使我此後10年都有牙齒問題,直到今天還會痛。棒球手洛伊哈柏(Roy Hobbs)在電影「天生好手」(The Natural)一片中曾說過:「有些錯誤會讓你付上一生的代價。」
千百年以前,使徒保羅就領略了撒種與收穫的普遍規律。他說:「人種的是甚麼,收的也是甚麼」(加拉太書6章7節)。我們今天的抉擇對將來的影響,是我們無法想像的。因此,使徒的話提醒我們做選擇要有智慧。
今日所做的決定,明日便要收割那結果。因此,一開始便離開罪惡,遠勝過犯罪後去掙扎克服罪的惡果。
主啊,我們需要你的智慧幫我們做正確的選擇,也赦免我們錯誤的選擇。WEC
思想行為有收穫,遠比秋收更確切;我們雙手種什麽,以後就會收什麽。Harris

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. —Galatians 6:7
-->About this cover

It seemed innocent enough at the time. I had just come home from high school and told my mom that I was going to a friend’s house to play football. She insisted that I stay home and do my homework. Instead, I slipped out the back door and spent the next 2 hours making tackles and touchdowns in my friend’s backyard. But on the last play, I was tackled into a swingset and knocked out my front tooth. It hurt like crazy, but not as badly as telling my parents.
That choice to disobey put me on a 10-year path of dental problems and pain that have continuing implications today. Ballplayer Roy Hobbs said in the film The Natural, “Some mistakes you never stop paying for.”
Centuries earlier, Paul captured the same idea in the universal law of sowing and reaping. He said, “Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7). Our choices often have a reach and impact that we could never imagine. Thus the apostle’s words remind us to choose wisely.
The choices we make today produce the consequences we reap tomorrow. It’s far better to avoid sin in the first place than to struggle to overcome its consequences.
Lord, we need Your wisdom to help us make good choices, and forgiveness when we make bad choices. —Bill CrowderBill Crowder-->

硬塞低腰褲 擠出一圈肉

 低腰褲怎麼穿【本報綜合報導】不少女生喜歡穿緊身低腰褲展現身材,卻因長期擠壓,導致脂肪往上移,甚至引起月經不順,賠掉健康。穿低腰牛仔褲是否有可能影響到生理期?台灣高雄長庚醫院婦科醫師認為,這種說法有待商榷。因為子宮、卵巢在腹腔內,不易受到穿著影響,生理期不順應該和長瘤或內分泌不正常有關。
台北長春醫院院長劉伯恩指出,不少女性趕流行,愛穿低腰牛仔褲,即使身材並不苗條,卻硬要塞進緊身牛仔褲。由於低腰剪裁,使下腹脂肪往上推擠,腹部出現一圈贅肉。
一名大學四年級的林姓女學生,身高156公分的她因體重超過70公斤,想穿低腰牛仔褲修飾身材。有一次她彎腰露出一截肚子,同學笑稱她有兩圈肥腰,她尷尬地到診所求助。
劉伯恩說,陰毛的上緣被稱為「比基尼線」,低腰牛仔褲的褲頭若位在比基尼線上方十公分以內,容易讓骨盆腔以上、恥骨以下的下腹腔血液循環變差;如果穿著時間長,更會引起月經不順、皮膚過敏或便秘;而且因脂肪推移的影響,使得腹壓增加,造成胃食道逆流等毛病。
台中長春世紀診所院長趙明義說,低腰褲別穿太久,也不要穿太緊,免得影響血液循環。脫下低腰褲後,要換穿寬鬆衣物,也可抬高雙腿、倒立來改善症狀。
台灣高雄長庚醫院婦癌科主任林浩表示,引發月經不順的原因很多,但尚未發現與穿低腰牛仔褲有關的病例。通常體重過重或過輕的女性易有月經不順的現象,但大都和內分泌失調或與腫瘤有關。全身性脂肪過多雖可能影響荷爾蒙分泌,但與脂肪是否集中腰部或腹部無關。
台灣高雄長庚醫院婦部副主任許德耀表示,男性穿著低腰褲易因摩擦和過熱,影響精子品質;至於女性是否會因穿著低腰牛仔褲造成月經不順,他認為應不致於如此。

Sep26,07「蝦米式」睡姿腰椎易移位+耶穌釋放我們 Jesus Sets Us Free

靈命日糧 - 2007年9月26日
耶穌釋放我們
讀經: 加拉太書5章1-6節
金句: 「你們必曉得真理,真理必叫你們得以自由。」(約翰福音8章32節)
全年讀經: 以賽亞書1-2章;加拉太書5章

自使徒保羅之後,關於屬靈捆綁的描述,恐怕無人勝過偉大的神學家奧古斯丁(公元前354-430)。儘管他蒙福擁有偉大才智,但是他在年輕時卻是極盡放蕩。
反觀過去,奧古斯丁這樣描述自己的掙扎:「我被自我意志的鎖鍊綑綁,落入不由自主的苦難中,而不是一個自由行動者。惡習在我身上如同全副武裝的敵人,因我願意做的,我根本做不到!」
我們有許多人也經歷過類似的掙扎,我們想從罪中得釋放,卻發現自己無力甩掉惡習的鎖鍊。但當我們轉而信靠主耶穌後,便得到釋放,就能與查爾斯·衛斯里(Charles Wesley)一同歌唱:「我靈受困,多年在牢獄中,被罪包圍,黑暗重重;主眼發出復活榮光,我靈甦醒,滿室光明!枷鎖脫落,心靈獲釋,我就起來跟隨主行。」
惟有主耶穌可以斷開你生命中的鎖鍊。現在接受他作你的救主,「真理必叫你們得以自由」(約翰福音8章32節)。VCG
脫離捆綁、憂愁與黑暗,耶穌,我來!耶穌,我來!進入自由、喜樂與光明,耶穌,我來就你。Sleeper

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. —John 8:32
-->About this cover

Perhaps no one since the apostle Paul has written more graphically about the experience of spiritual bondage than the great theologian Augustine (AD 354–430). Although blessed with extraordinary intelligence, in his younger years he had wallowed in deep depravity.
Looking back, Augustine gave this account of his struggle: “I was bound by the iron chain of my own will. I was rather an unwilling sufferer than a willing actor. And yet it was through me that habit had become an armed enemy against me, because I had willingly come to be what I unwillingly found myself to be.”
Many of us have gone through a similar struggle. We wanted deliverance from sin yet found ourselves unable to shake off the chains of habit. Then, as we turned in faith to Jesus, we were liberated and could repeat the words of Charles Wesley’s hymn: “Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature’s night. Thine eye diffused a quickening ray, I woke—the dungeon flamed with light! My chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.”
Jesus alone can break the shackles of sin in your life. Receive Him as your Savior, and “the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). —Vernon C GroundsVernon C Grounds-->

「蝦米式」睡姿腰椎易移位(2007年9月25日)

註冊脊醫及物理治療師何應輝表示,軟硬度適中的褥,可承托脊骨及肌肉,保持頸椎的生理弧度,在腰部位置,應有一隻手掌厚的空隙。(董玉金攝)
【明報專訊】有人說,睡姿可反映個人性格,「蝦米式」的側臥睡眠方式,代表該人渴望受保護。事實上,睡姿亦可反映個人健康,有脊醫指出,「蝦米式」睡姿會令腰椎移位,若壓神經線,長遠可引起骨刺,甚至椎間盤突出等毛病。
註冊脊醫及物理治療師何應輝指出,正確睡姿應為仰臥式,即身體向天花板,雙腿切勿交叉疊起,一方面不會令到心臟及肺部承受壓力,讓血液循環較好,另一方面可減低椎間盤所承受的壓力,比起其他睡姿,壓力較輕。
許多人愛採用側臥式睡姿,何應輝表示這未嘗不可,但切勿採用「蝦米式」睡姿,他解釋,「蝦米式」睡姿時,雙腿彎曲,令腰部長期處於「扭曲」狀態,長遠可引起腰椎移位問題,嚴重更會壓神經線、生骨刺,甚至出現椎間盤突出等毛病。
何應輝又指,婦女睡姿不正確,易令盆骨出現高低不平,增加懷孕時流產風險。不過,婦產科專科醫生陳億仕則表示,流產成因多由胎兒本身基因發育不全引起,腰椎移位會令婦女在懷孕期間容易出現腰痠背痛,但未有聽聞會增加流產風險。

巴拿馬運河的建造者克服了許多挑戰,例如:搬移幾噸的泥土,讓河流改道,並砍伐大面積的叢林。然而,他們卻因為一種非常小的蚊子,而差一點使整個工程前功盡棄。巴拿馬地峽是蚊子理想的繁衍地,當運河的工人們感染到這種蚊子傳播的黃熱病及瘧疾時,死亡人數立即飆升。
幸運的是,一位研究過這些疾病的醫生,安排了一隊工人在該區域噴灑化學藥劑殺滅蚊子,使得患病人數急遽下降。
在舊約聖經裏,我們看到猶大全地盛行偶像崇拜,使得社會道德淪喪。當上帝的律法書再次被發現時,約西亞王宣告:「因我們列祖沒有遵守耶和華的言語……耶和華的烈怒就倒在我們身上」(歷代志下34章21節)。約西亞明白,上帝的話對道德淪喪具有預防和醫治之效,於是就開始運用屬靈的真理,很快地讓全國出現了大復興,國民的靈性得以恢復。
如果我們不認真閱讀上帝的話語,便會染上屬靈的疾病,因此,我們每天都當抽出時間去汲取聖經中的生命之糧。HDF
若能研讀上帝道,謹守遵行他原則;聖經改變我生命,使我遠離諸罪行。Sper

The builders of the Panama Canal overcame many enormous challenges: the moving of tons of earth, the redirecting of a river, and the cutting down of miles of jungle. But the tiny mosquito threatened to shut down the whole project. The Isthmus of Panama was an ideal breeding ground for this pest. As mosquitos infected canal workers with yellow fever and malaria, the death toll began to soar.
Fortunately, a physician who had studied these diseases arranged for an army of workers to spray the area with a chemical to kill mosquitos. The number of illnesses dropped dramatically.
In the Old Testament, we read of Judah’s epidemic of idolatry and its accompanying moral sickness. When the Word of God was rediscovered, King Josiah exclaimed, “Great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the Word of the Lord” (2 Chron. 34:21). Josiah understood the Scripture’s preventive cure for moral sickness. He began to apply its spiritual truths, and soon a revival swept the land that restored the nation’s spiritual health.

上良伴 波浪枕頭好拍檔(2007年9月25日)枕頭褥不適合 可導致寒背頭痛

【明報專訊】人生有三分一時間花在上,一旦使用不恰當枕頭及褥,不單影響睡眠質素,更可能惹來腰痠背痛的惡果。有脊醫表示,平均每月有3至4宗頸肩疼痛的求助個案與錯選枕頭或褥有關,枕頭太高令背肌過度拉扯、血液不循環,更是寒背、頭痛的元兇。
註冊脊醫及物理治療師何應輝指出,枕頭主要功能是為頭頸部提供良好的支撐,從而減輕肩頸壓力,在仰臥時亦能保持頸椎的生理弧度,使額頭與下巴處於水平線的狀態。若枕頭太高或太低,均會改變頸椎弧度,令頸部懸空,輕則產生局部頸肌痙攣,容易「厲頸」,重則會令頸椎移位,若神經線受壓,可出現手腳麻痺情。
波浪枕承托頸部 屬最佳選擇
別以為又硬又高的枕頭,承托力便會較好,何應輝指出,若枕頭把頸部托得太高,頭部會向後仰臥,令血液循環不足,引起頭痛,亦會令舌頭壓住氣道,容易打鼻鼾;加上背肌處於向後拉緊狀態,長遠會寒背。「患者習慣了背肌向後拉緊,走路時便會不以為意,忽略了腰直的正確步姿。」
市面枕頭款式多元化,除了羽絨、棉花等傳統枕頭外,還有水枕、波浪枕及左右高低枕等。何應輝表示,眾枕頭當中,以波浪枕為佳,因為波浪形設計能承托頸部,保持頸椎與脊椎的生理弧度。水枕雖有同樣效果,但未必人人習慣「水波浮動」的感覺,至於傳統枕頭對頸椎部分沒有特別承托,屬最差,易引致頸緊膊痛。
即使選對合適枕頭,若褥過硬或過軟也會引起腰椎毛病。何應輝稱,傳統「愈硬愈好」的想法已不合時宜,太硬的褥會令腰部懸空,脊骨及肌肉得不到承托,易造成痠痛,太軟的褥又不能承托較重的臀部,使腰脊下墜,易拉傷或脊椎移位。

When I asked my husband to buy eggs on his way home so I could make cornbread for supper, he said, “I’ve got something better than cornbread.” Coming from Jay, that was a surprising statement. But I learned what he meant when he walked into the house and handed me a fresh loaf of homemade cinnamon bread. A label on the wrapper said, “Thanks for the dough. We kneaded it.” The bread was made by Sue Kehr and given as a “thank you” for a donation to a youth organization.
Sue started making bread after she had to quit her job as a nurse because of a head injury. Instead of letting circumstances pull her down when she could no longer help people in her usual ways, Sue rose to the challenge and created a unique expression of gratitude. She now makes and gives away delicious homemade bread to ministries that can then distribute the loaves to others.
Although Sue did not receive complete physical healing like the paralytic Jesus healed (Mark 2), she did rise up and cause many to be amazed at the work of God in her life.

臉部3D掃描 診斷基因疾病 英國科學家提出新技術 並稱成功率達九成
【中央社】英國科學家表示,針對臉部進行3D掃描,將能夠加速診斷兒童是否罹患罕見基因疾病。 英國廣播公司報導,七百多種基因症候群會影響臉部特徵,但某些疾病因為少有案例存在而難以發現。但利用新的軟體,可針對個人的面孔與罹患已知疾病者的3D影像資料庫進行比對,這將有助於診斷病情。
報導說,科學家在英國科學促進協會於約克市舉辦的科學節中提出這項技術,並稱成功率達九成。
倫敦大學學院兒童健康研究所電腦科學家韓蒙德解釋說:「有許多疾病臉部會出現不尋常的特徵,這是因為基因出現變化。」報導說,唐氏症病患可輕易診斷出病情,但還有超過七百種基因疾病,會改變人的長相。
舉例來說,威廉氏症候群每一萬至兩萬名新生兒便有一人可能罹病,患病者外觀會出現較短且向上翹的鼻子,嘴巴較大,下顎也小。
史密斯─馬吉利氏症候群每兩萬五千名新生兒便有一人罹病,病患臉部鼻樑非常平坦,唇則較翹。另外X染色體脆折症罹病率約四千分之一,病患臉部較狹長,耳朵大而突出。
報導說,某些基因疾病出現的臉部差異較細微,案例也較罕見,初步診斷因而較困難。
報導說,韓蒙德博士為了幫助診斷,蒐集罹患這些已知疾病的兒童的臉部3D影像,並設計軟體結合這些影像,製造出罹患不同基因疾病病童的「平均臉孔」。
同樣的,他也針對未罹患已知基因疾病的兒童,建立平均臉孔以進行比對。
報導引述韓蒙德教授表示:「如果孩子罹患未知疾病,我們可以取得他們臉孔的3D影像,而且我們已發展出技術能讓我們針對他們的臉孔與這些平均臉孔進行比對。」
他說:「最相似的部分就是主要目標,因為這或許能解釋他們的臉部特徵何以如此不尋常。」
他說:「接著遺傳學者可以進行更適合的基因檢測,以進一步驗證這一點,如果這類檢測存在的話。」

主知我名
讀經: 約翰福音10章1-4節
金句: 「羊也聽他的聲音。他按著名叫自己的羊,把羊領出來。」(約翰福音10章3節)
全年讀經: 雅歌1-3章;加拉太書2章

當我們去一間大教會時,我們會學到新事物,參加很棒的小組活動,並享受敬拜的音樂。但過了好長時間我才明白了一件事,原來牧師並不認識我。因為教會有幾千名會友,所以他不可能知道每個人的名字。
之後,當我們到一間規模較小的教會,我收到了牧師親手書寫的歡迎卡片。幾週後,喬牧師能喊出我的名字,並且和我聊到我的手術近況,這讓我體會到被人認識的喜悅。
我們都想被認識,尤其是被上帝認識。湯米·渥克的一首歌叫「他深知我名」,提醒我們上帝知道我們的每個意念,看見我們的每滴眼淚,並聽見我們的每一聲呼喚。我們在約翰福音讀到「羊也聽他的聲音。他按著名叫自己的羊……我是好牧人,我認識我的羊。」(約翰福音10章3,14節)
對創造天地的主宰而言,認識幾十億的人並非難事。上帝非常愛你(約翰福音3章16節),他時時顧念你(詩篇139篇17-18節),他也知道你的名字(約翰福音10章3節)。CHK
上帝深知我走的崎嶇路,也知我憂傷痛苦與疼痛;他絕不會離棄他的子民,他深知,並且深愛我們。Bosch

He Knows My Name
READ: John 10:1-4
The sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. —John 10:3
-->About this cover

When we attended a large church, we learned new things, joined a great small group, and enjoyed the worshipful music. But I didn’t realize for a long time that I missed something—the pastor had no idea who I was. Because of the thousands in attendance, I understood that it would be impossible for him to know each person by name.
Then, when we began attending a much smaller church, I received a handwritten welcome note from the pastor. After a few more weeks, Pastor Josh was calling me by name and chatting with me about my recent surgery. It felt good to be personally acknowledged.
All of us have a desire to be known—especially by God. A song by Tommy Walker, “He Knows My Name,” reminds us that God knows our every thought, sees each tear that falls, and hears us when we call. We read in the gospel of John, “The sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name . . . . I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep” (John 10:3,14).
For the One who made heaven and earth, knowing a few billion people is not a problem. God loves you immensely (John 3:16), He thinks about you all the time (Ps. 139:17-18), and He knows your name (John 10:3). —Cindy Hess KasperCindy Hess Kasper-->
God knows each winding way I take,And every sorrow, pain, and ache;His children He will not forsake—He knows and loves His own. —Bosch

迷失智慧
讀經: 列王紀上3章4-15節
金句: 「求你賜我智慧,可以判斷你的民,能辨別是非。」(列王紀上3章9節)
全年讀經: 傳道書10-12章;加拉太書1章

如果上帝賞賜你想要的東西,你會要求什麼?當上帝給所羅門王選擇的機會時,他要求辨別善惡的智慧,使自己能帶領百姓按上帝的旨意行事(列王紀上3章9節)。上帝告訴他:「你既然求這事……我就應允你所求的。」他甚至應許要給他「富足、尊榮」(11-13節)。直到今日,所羅門王因為上帝賜他偉大的智慧而被世人紀念。
所羅門王開始以智慧治理國家,並胸懷大志,決心建立輝煌的聖殿來尊榮上帝。然而,後來卻發生一些事。他熱切遵照上帝給他的智慧而活,晚年卻因財富及權力的誘惑,娶了事奉假神的外邦女子,最終使自己及整個國家陷入拜偶像的光景中。
所羅門的經歷給了我們很好的教訓。如果我們想要在一生中,都過一種討上帝喜悅的生活,就必須將對基督的愛放在首位,完全信靠他的智慧。立志遵循上帝豐盛的智慧,將使我們免於隨波逐流,不會像所羅門王一樣偏離正道。
聆聽上帝的話語,讓你的心配合著他的智慧跳動,這樣才能在生命的終點仍高奏凱歌。JS
我深知道心易放蕩,遠離父家慕虛華;今獻身心求加印記,求作主民在父家。Robinson

Wandering From Wisdom
READ: 1 Kings 3:4-14
Give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. —1 Kings 3:9
-->About this cover

If God offered you anything you wanted, what would you ask for?
When Solomon was given that choice, he asked for the wisdom to discern good from evil so that he might lead God’s people well (1 Kings 3:9). “Because you have asked this thing,” God told Solomon, “I have done according to your words.” He even promised to give him “both riches and honor” (vv.11-13). To this day, Solomon is remembered for the great wisdom God gave him.
Solomon began his rule with devotion to wisdom and a deep ambition to build a magnificent temple to honor God. But something happened along the way. His passion for living by God’s wisdom was displaced by the allures of the wealth and position God had given him. His marriage to foreign women who worshiped pagan gods eventually led him—and ultimately the nation—into idolatry.
The lesson is clear. Keeping our love for Christ and His wisdom preeminent is a primary objective for those of us who want to live to satisfy God throughout the course of our life. A commitment to following the riches of God’s wisdom will enable us to avoid the drift that destroyed Solomon.
Keep your heart in tune with God’s wisdom and obey His voice. That’s the way to finish well. —Joe StowellJoe Stowell-->
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love;Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,Seal it for Thy courts above. —Robinson
Monitor your heart daily to avoid wandering from God’s wisdom.

午飯後 最佳運動時間 避免影響腸胃消化功能 最好飯後1小時開始
 你可以將各種運動如慢跑、騎自行車等穿插在各個時間段進行。 【中新網】據生命時報報導,美國醫學博士網站稱,最佳運動時間因人而異,人們完全可以根據自己的生活規律、生物時鐘和工作性質,培養出每天最佳的運動時間。俗話說:一日之計在於晨,很多人也因此選擇在早晨運動。其實,這種做法不值得提倡。因為在淩晨4點到早上9點之間,二氧化碳反流,空氣品質並不好。
另外,早晨人體的血液黏稠度較高,尤其是那些患高血壓和心血管疾病的人,起早運動對身體很不利。但現在很多人工作較忙,只有早上有時間,所以還是有不少人選擇早上運動。此時,就需要特別注意了,運動前最好喝上一杯水,以稀釋血液、降低黏稠度。
此外,要選擇遠離樹木繁茂的地方,儘量去背風和向陽的開闊地帶,運動時間40分鐘左右即可。在我們傳統觀念裡,吃過午飯應該午睡一會兒。其實,在午後的2點到4點,人體運動能力達到高峰。而且此時陽光充足、溫度適宜、風力較小,是運動的最佳時間段。不過,最好午飯後1小時再運動,否則就會影響我們的腸胃消化功能。
如果你想減肥,最好選在晚上運動。晚上運動能幫助食物更快地消化,不會使脂肪囤積在體內。但是,無論強度大或小的運動,都會使神經系統處於興奮狀態,所以,運動後過1小時再睡覺。
需要提醒的是,無論你選擇什麼時間運動,喝水都是不能忽視的關鍵細節。早晨運動的人們,每20分鐘要喝點水,一次喝120毫升為宜。午後和晚上的運動,強度比早上大,身體消耗的能量和水分也較多,要補充200毫升的水。同時,我們不能等到感覺口渴的時候才喝水,這時候身體已經缺水了。
此外,運動後最好不要暴飲,要一口一口地喝,以減輕心臟負擔。還可以準備點鹽糖水、蜂蜜水或運動飲料,這些都會幫助我們恢復體力。

全年讀經: 傳道書7-9章;哥林多後書13章

一個12歲的男孩參加校外教學到博物館參觀,將一小塊口香糖黏在價值1千5百萬的畫上,結果在海倫·弗蘭肯特勒(Helen Frankenthaler)的著名抽象畫《海灣》上,留下一個25美分硬幣大小的污漬。底特律藝術機構的官員不確定是否能除掉污漬,男孩因此被學校暫令停學,校方說:「我想他並不知道自己所造成的後果。」
路加福音23章裏,主耶穌為眾人做有力的禱告,因他們不曉得自己所造成的後果,他請求天父赦免那些要將他處死的人(34節)。他們輕視上帝的兒子──鞭打他、向他吐口水、嘲弄他,並將一個荊棘冠冕戴在他頭上。他們將釘子釘入他的手腳,刺穿他的肋旁,然而他們卻不瞭解自己行為的意義。藉著他的死,上帝赦免凡是悔改及相信的人,即使是殺害主耶穌的兇手。
因著我們的罪,我們也成為殺害耶穌的兇手之一。但感謝主,上帝是仁慈的,他藉著他的兒子饒恕我們,除去我們的罪污,並給我們第二次機會。MW
天父那赦免的愛無法測度!即使他們將救主釘在十架!釘他十字架的我們可存活,只要向他說:天父,赦免我們! Anon.

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” —Luke 23:34
-->About this cover

A 12-year-old boy on a school trip to a museum stuck a wad of chewing gum on a painting worth $1.5 million. The gum left a stain about the size of a quarter on Helen Frankenthaler’s landmark abstract, The Bay. Officials at the Detroit Institute of Arts were unsure whether they could remove it. The boy was suspended from school. “I don’t think he understood the ramifications of what he did,” said a school official.
In Luke 23, Jesus prayed a powerful prayer for people who didn’t understand the ramifications of what they were doing. He asked His Father to forgive those who were putting Him to death (v.34). They devalued God’s Son—flogging Him, spitting on Him, ridiculing Him, and placing a crown of thorns on His head. They drove spikes through His hands and feet and pierced His side. Although they didn’t understand the full scope of their actions, through the death of His Son, God offers forgiveness to all who repent and believe—even to Jesus’ murderers.
Because of our sin, we all played a part in putting Jesus to death. The good news is that God is gracious. He will forgive and remove the stain of sin and give us a second chance through His Son. —Marvin WilliamsMarvin Williams-->

不潔能源 威脅24億人健康

 一些發展中的國家缺少風力發電等能源,民眾不得不使用不潔的能源。【新華網】英國倫敦衛生與熱帶醫學院近日發布研究報告說,全球有大約24億人因使用「不潔能源」受到不同程度健康威脅。
報告說,一些發展中國家由於缺少電力等能源,民眾不得不使用煤、木柴、乾牛糞等「不潔能源」。這些「不潔能源」在戶內使用時無法完全燃燒,從而產生有害氣體,威脅人類健康。
報告估計,每年有大約160萬人因「不潔能源」污染而早亡,還有不少人因此患上不同程度的呼吸系統疾病。
報告分析說,目前發達國家人均能源消耗量是貧困國家的20倍,資源分配不均、貧富差距懸殊等現狀阻礙著清潔能源的推廣。
這份報告發表在最新一期刺胳針(柳葉刀)醫學雜誌上,由倫敦衛生與熱帶醫學院專家保羅‧威爾金森和他的研究小組共同完成。

金句: 「也要憑愛心行事,正如基督愛我們。」(以弗所書5章2節)
全年讀經: 傳道書4-6章;哥林多後書12章

我家的後面臨著一座公園,公園裡有一條小徑。從我家廚房的窗戶看出去,整條小徑幾乎盡收眼底,因此我也學會從人們走路的姿態認出他們來。
從那一頭匆匆走來的那一位是個律師;另一位步履維艱的是位老人家;還有一位女士總是邁著堅定的步伐。每個人的姿態都各異其趣。
聖經教導我們要「憑愛心行事,正如基督愛我們」(以弗所書5章2節);「用智慧(與外人交往)」(歌羅西書4章5節)。因此我自問:「我行走人生路程時,能否反映上帝的慈愛與智慧?」我是否「先是清潔,後是和平,溫良柔順,滿有憐憫,多結善果,沒有偏見,沒有假冒」(雅各書3章17節)?我內心是否有仁愛、喜樂、和平?我是否沉著、堅強?別人若見我行路的姿態,他們會從中看見什麼?
喬治·麥當勞曾說:「 福音臨到你身上的主要目的,不是要你把基督教當成一套理論,而是要你完成主旨意。只要你致力達成這個目標,那麼在你所身處的世界一角,就將發生劇烈的轉變。」的確,將有劇烈的轉變!
你的生命是否為周遭人們帶來轉變?從你的言行舉止之中,人們是否能看見耶穌?DHR

Walk in love, as Christ also has loved us. —Ephesians 5:2
-->About this cover

Our house in Boise, Idaho, backs up to a park with a walking track. You can see most of the path from our kitchen window, and because of that I’ve learned to recognize people by their walk.
There’s a lawyer from down the street who’s always in a hurry, an elderly man who trudges slowly by, a woman who strides with purposeful steps. Each has a characteristic gait.
The Bible instructs us: “Walk in love, as Christ also has loved us” (Eph. 5:2) and “Walk in wisdom” (Col. 4:5). I ask myself, “Does my walk reflect God’s love and wisdom?” Am I “pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy”? (James 3:17). Do I have love, joy, and peace? Am I tranquil and strong? What do others see as I walk by?
George MacDonald said, “If you who set yourselves to [theorize about] Christianity had set yourselves instead to do the will of the Master, the one object for which the gospel was preached to you, how different would be the condition of that part of the world with which you come into contact.” How different indeed!
Is your life making a difference in the lives around you? Do others see Jesus in what you say and do? —David H. RoperDavid H. Roper-->

貝多芬髮含鉛量超標100倍 疑慢性中毒亡(2007年9月20日)
【明報專訊】現時獲確認為貝多芬真髮的,是由猶太音樂家希勒(Ferdinand Hiller)在1827年3月27日、即貝多芬死後1日從遺體剪下來留念的一綹頭髮。
這綹頭髮一直由希勒家保存。至1943年,他們把頭髮贈予丹麥醫生弗雷明,作為醫治猶太難民的報酬。1994年,弗雷明家族透過蘇富比拍賣頭髮,由「貝多芬研究中心」創辦人布里連特等以約5.7萬港元投得。
布氏等人用X光分析頭髮,發現頭髮含鉛量較常人平均值高100倍,估計貝多芬是慢性鉛中毒致死。
至於康涅狄格州的大學檔案主管勒尼可夫今次捐出的貝多芬頭髮,是來自10年前美國科德角一小型拍賣會。韋氏透露,他當時見到框架鑲起了貝多芬及意大利小提琴家帕格尼尼的頭髮,遂買了回來。
經鑑定後,證明框架的木料是來自貝多芬時代。他又請布里連特鑑定頭髮,根據頭髮的質地、顏色等,估計頭髮是在他臨死前剪下的。然而韋氏從未為頭髮進行基因鑑定。

全年讀經: 傳道書1-3章;哥林多後書11章16-33節

耶穌曾吩咐門徒要信靠上帝,但他的話卻使我懷疑自己能不能在禱告中達到這麼高標準的「信靠」。我從來不曾吩咐一座山投到海裡,並親眼目睹此事成就。
早期到中國宣教的戴德生(Hudson Taylor)曾說,耶穌在馬可福音11章22節所說的「你們當信服上帝」這句話,也可說成是「抓住上帝的信實」。
倫敦西敏特教堂的前任牧師鍾馬田(Martyn Lloyd-Jones)就很欣賞戴德生的解釋,他說:「信心就是抓住上帝的信實,這麼做可以保證你不出錯。信心就是眼中不看困難……不看信心本身也不看那有信心的人,信心就是只看上帝……只專注於上帝,只談論上帝、讚美上帝、極力頌揚上帝的美德。到頭來,一個人信心所發出的力量有多大,都是取決於他對上帝的認識有多深……他對上帝的認識若是夠深,就能全心信賴他所認識的上帝,而這人的禱告也必蒙應允。」
「耶和華啊,你的話安定在天,直到永遠。你的誠實存到萬代。」(詩篇119篇89-90節)DCM

The Faithfulness Of God

Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.” —Mark 11:22
-->About this cover

Some of Jesus’ words to His disciples about having faith in God leave me wondering if I can ever exercise that level of trust and confidence in prayer. I can’t recall telling a mountain to relocate itself into the ocean and watching it happen.
Hudson Taylor, pioneer missionary to China, said that Jesus’ words in Mark 11:22, “Have faith in God,” could be translated, “Hold on to the faithfulness of God.”
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, former pastor of London’s Westminster Chapel, appreciated Taylor’s insight and said: “Faith is holding on to the faithfulness of God and, as long as you do that, you cannot go wrong. Faith does not look at the difficulties. . . . Faith does not look at itself or at the person who is exercising it. Faith looks at God . . . . Faith is interested in God only, and it talks about God and it praises God and it extols the virtues of God. The measure of the strength of a man’s faith, always, is ultimately the measure of his knowledge of God. . . . He knows God so well that he can rest on the knowledge. And it is the prayers of such a man that are answered.”
“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations” (Ps. 119:89-90). —David C. McCaslandDavid C. McCasland-->
Trust in Him, ye saints, forever—He is faithful, changing never;Neither force nor guile can severThose He loves from Him. —Kelly

間葉幹細胞治中風 能促進組織修復 腎衰竭、肝硬化、心肌梗塞有救了
【施靜茹】台北榮民總醫院近日表示,以往用在治療玻璃娃娃的「間葉幹細胞」,研究發現它會釋出生長因子、激素,可促進血管新生、組織修復,未來可望成為治療中風或心肌梗塞的新希望。
間葉幹細胞是成人幹細胞的一種,主要由骨髓分離出來,理論上當環境適當時可以分化成人體組織如骨頭、脂肪、軟骨、神經和心臟細胞等。八年前,美國醫界首先用在治療成骨不全病人(即玻璃娃娃),促使骨頭變硬,曾讓五名玻璃娃娃坐起來。
台北榮總骨科部主治醫師、陽明大學臨床醫學研究所教授洪士杰和美國杜蘭大學合作的研究發現,透過雞胚胎實驗,間葉幹細胞不但可拯救血管裡缺氧死亡的內皮細胞,還能促進血管新生。
研究團隊也發現,間葉幹細胞釋放的血管內皮增生因子和第六型介白質,會抑制血管內皮細胞凋亡、促進組織再生。這項研究刊登在最近一期的「幹細胞」(Stem Cells)期刊。
洪士杰表示,未來他們打算進一步純化間葉幹細胞的分泌因子,並注入如心肌梗塞病人的受損心肌,希望能達到一定的復原程度,另外像中風、腎臟衰竭、肝硬化和肢體缺血等疾病,也都是研究目標。
該研究團隊也發現,間葉幹細胞最特別的是,在缺氧狀態不但活得好好的,增殖速度及著床率甚至可增加三倍,移動速度也較快。洪士杰解釋,間葉幹細胞在缺氧環境(只有1%氧氣)培養,移植後長得比過去在一般環境(21%氧氣)要好推測應是缺氧狀況更接近它在骨髓內的環境。這項新發現也刊登在5月出版的「公共科學圖書館一號刊」網路期刊。
具自我複製的細胞包括具「全分化能力」的受精卵;「複分化能力」的胚胎幹細胞;「多分化能力」的造血幹細胞、間葉幹細胞,及「單分化能力」的骨原細胞。
間葉幹細胞最初由骨髓分離出來,近年在臍帶、臍帶血、脂肪組織和胎盤也找得到它,可形成骨骼、軟骨及脂肪等組織。

Mesenchymal stem cells Stroke Treatment To promote tissue repair renal failure, cirrhosis, myocardial infarction have saved
【Shi Jing-ru - Taipei Veterans General Hospital recently said that the past use in the treatment of glass doll "mesenchymal stem cells", the study found it would release growth factors, hormones, can promote angiogenesis and tissue repair, the future will be the treatment of stroke or myocardial infarction new hope. Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells in a mainly isolated from bone marrow, in theory, when appropriate environment can differentiate into human tissues such as bone, fat, cartilage, nerve and heart cells. Eight years ago, the medical community first used in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta patients (ie glass doll), to stiffen bones, five glass doll Witnesses sit up.
Orthopedic Department attending physician at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, National Yang Ming University, a professor of clinical medicine and the United States Shih Tulane University study found that the chicken embryo experiment, mesenchymal stem cells can not only save the vascular endothelium in hypoxic cell death, but also promote angiogenesis.
The research team also found that mesenchymal stem cells release factor and vascular endothelial hyperplasia of IL-6, will inhibit vascular endothelial cell apoptosis, promote tissue regeneration. The study published in the latest issue of "stem cells" (Stem Cells) Series.
Shih said that the future they intend to further purified mesenchymal stem cells secreted factor, such as myocardial infarction patients and injected into the damaged myocardium, hoping to achieve a certain degree of recovery, and as stroke, kidney failure, cirrhosis and other diseases limb ischemia are also on target.
The study team also found that mesenchymal stem cells most special is that not only live in a good state of hypoxia, the proliferation rate and mating rate even increase threefold speed fairly quickly. Shih explained that the mesenchymal stem cells in the hypoxic environment (only 1% oxygen) training, longer than in the past after transplantation in the general environment (21% oxygen) is better than speculate hypoxic conditions closer to its bone marrow environment. The new findings are published in the May "published by the Public Library on the 1st Science Journal" online journals.
Self-replication of the cell, including a "full differentiation" fertilized eggs; "- Differentiation" of embryonic stem cells; "Multi-differentiation" hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and the "single-differentiation" of the original cell.
Mesenchymal stem cells originally isolated from bone marrow, umbilical cord in recent years, cord blood, fat and placentas also find that it can form bone, cartilage and fat and other groups.

The heavens declare the glory of God. —Psalm 19:1
-->About this cover

The earth’s population is now over 6.6 billion. And depending on where we live, finding moments of solitude where we can gaze at the silent night sky is increasingly difficult. Yet, according to the writer of Psalm 19, if we were able to steal away to a spot where the only sound was our heartbeat and the only sight the canopy of the stars, we could hear a message from those heavens.
In such a moment, we could hear with the ears of our innermost being the noiseless testimony of God’s breathtaking creation.
We could hear from the heavens as they “declare the glory of God” (v.1).And we could watch in amazement as the sky “shows His handiwork” (v.1).
We could listen as “day unto day utters speech” that fills our minds with the unmistakable awareness of God’s splendid creation (v.2).
We could marvel through the night as the firmament shows in unmistakable splendor the knowledge of God’s handiwork (vv.1-2).
Our Creator tells us to “be still, and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10). A great way to do this is to spend time in His creation admiring His handiwork. Then we will certainly know that He is God! —Dave BranonDave Branon-->
The heavens reveal the power of GodTo everyone living on earth;His handiwork speaks of His splendor and care,And makes us consider His worth. —Sper
God speaks of His majesty through His creation.

青蕉皮失戀最佳食物(2007年9月18日)台大學研究 助抗憂鬱

【明報專訊】台灣有俗語「失戀吃香蕉皮」,因香蕉皮的苦澀味就像失戀一樣。
不過,台灣中山醫學大學研究發現,未成熟呈青綠色的香蕉皮含血清素前趨物(5HP),可以抗憂鬱;至於成熟呈黃色的香蕉皮,也因含有豐富葉黃素和類蘿蔔素,可防止視網膜老化及保護眼睛。
吃香蕉皮似乎不單止適合寂寞的心療傷。
台灣中山醫學大學針對香蕉皮進行兩年研究,發現香蕉皮的功能不容忽略。不過,香蕉含高度的鉀和微量澱粉,腎病和糖尿病患者不宜多吃。
含穩定精神狀態物質
中山醫學大學副校長王進崑指出,經過研究,發現「失戀吃香蕉皮」是合理的,因香蕉皮含血清素前趨物,尤其是未熟透、比較青綠色的蕉皮,更含有豐富的血清素前趨物,而血清素是大腦神經傳遞物質,與安定精神狀態有關,血清素分泌不足會容易出現憂鬱。因此,當人感到情緒憂鬱時,晚上吃些香蕉,隔天情緒就會緩和。
加溫水攪碎
如何吃呢?王進崑說,一根香蕉皮加入250cc溫水,用果汁機攪碎,或將香蕉皮剁碎放入鍋內用水煮,都可紓緩憂鬱情緒。
黃蕉皮保視網膜細胞
此外,成熟的黃色香蕉皮也具有其他療效。研究組以油溶技術萃取出黃色香蕉皮液體,再以每cc各10、50和100微克劑量,放進每cc有600萬個人類視網膜的細胞株中,對照組則不加萃取液。每天照藍光5至6小時後,對照組的細胞2天後就凋亡,加萃取液的不但沒有凋亡,反而長的更多。
王進崑解釋說,變成黃色的香蕉皮含有豐富類胡蘿蔔素,還有類葉黃素,可保護視網膜神經細胞,還可防止光線或紫外線對視力的傷害,未來會進一步針對人體試驗。

Green banana skin Lovelorn best food (September 18, 2007) Antidepressants help Taiwan University Out on Taiwan - As the saying goes, "Lovelorn eat a banana peel" because of the bitter taste like a banana peel, like Lovelorn.
However, Taiwan's Chungshan Medical University study found that Green was immature-green banana skin before more of serotonin (5HP), antidepressant; As was ripe yellow banana peel, are rich because of lutein and radish-to prevent retinal aging and eye protection.
Eat a banana peel seems to be not only for lonely hearts heal.
Zhongshan Medical University in Taiwan for two years on a banana peel, that the function should not be overlooked a banana peel. However, bananas contain potassium and trace high starch, nephropathy and diabetic patients should not eat.
Material containing stable mental state
Zhongshan Medical University Vice President Wang Jin-kun said that after study, found "Lovelorn eat a banana peel" is reasonable, because the serum - containing banana peel more of the former, especially not fully cooked, the more-green banana skin, are rich in serotonin more of the former, while Serotonin is a brain transfer material, the stability and the spirit of the state, serotonin secretion will be prone to depression. Therefore, when people feel emotional depression, eating bananas evening, the next day will be emotional relaxation.
Heating up the broken
How wrong? Wang Jin-kun said, attempting to join a warm banana peel, juice machine stirred with broken or banana peel Add to pot with chopped boiled, can relieve depression mood.
Huang banana skin - retinal cells
In addition, the mature yellow banana peel also have other effects. Technical Study Group to oil-soluble liquids extracted yellow banana peel, the more per cc 10,50 and 100 mg dose into each 600 cc category million individual retinal cells in the control group and not extracts. Blue day as 5-6 hours later, the control group of cells to apoptosis two days, and not only the extract of apoptosis, but more long.
Wang Jin-Kun explained that the banana peel with a rich yellow carotenoids, lutein category also can protect retinal nerve cells, but also to prevent ultraviolet light or visual harm to the future for further human trials.

Sep17,07鴨染禽流即禁雞鴨鵝入口+ 新朋友A New Friend

靈命日糧 - 2007年9月17日

新朋友


金句: 「我乃稱你們為朋友;因我從我父所聽見的,已經都告訴你們了。」(約翰福音15章15節)

全年讀經: 箴言27-29章;哥林多後書10章


從歐洲搭機返回美國的途中,我的鄰座是個小女孩,她一上飛機就一直講個沒完。她把家裡發生的大小事,還有她那隻隨機託運的狗兒如何如何,全都告訴我;同時不斷興奮地指指這裡、指指那裏:「你看這!看那邊!」。於是我不禁想著:再這樣下去,這趟八小時的旅程可真會漫漫無際!

我和她聊了一會兒,接著她突然靜了下來、拉過毯子往身上蓋,我猜她大概想睡了吧。我趕緊抓住這段空檔,拿起手邊的雜誌,但雜誌都還沒攤開,我便感到有個小人兒向我靠了過來,於是我低頭看她,這時她伸出小手,對我說:「嘿,我們做朋友好不好?」

在那一刻,我整個心都融化了。「當然好哇,」我對她說:「我們做朋友吧!」

在紛擾不堪的生活中,有時我們只想獨自靜一靜時,耶穌卻伸出他釘痕的手,邀請我們做他的朋友。他這麼說:「我乃稱你們為朋友,因我從我父所聽見的,已經都告訴你們了」(約翰福音15章15節)。這時我們可以做選擇:將他拒之門外,或是打開心門,歡迎這位帶來無限之愛與引導的好朋友。JS

耶穌是我親愛朋友,
擔當我罪與憂愁;
何等權利能將萬事,
帶到主恩座前求!Scriven

耶穌渴望成為你的朋友。

A New Friend

READ: John 15:9-17

I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. —John 15:15

Text sizeIncrease fontDecrease font

While flying from Europe back to the US, I found myself sitting next to a little girl who never stopped talking from the moment she sat down. She told me the history of her family and all about her puppy, who was in the hold of the plane. She pointed excitedly to everything around us, “Look at this! Look at that!” I couldn’t help but think that 8 hours of this could make for a very long flight!

We chatted for a while until she suddenly got quiet. She pulled her blanket up around her, so I thought maybe she was going to doze off. I quickly took advantage of the break and reached for the nearest magazine. But before I could open it, I felt a little elbow in my side. I looked down at her, and she threw out her little hand and said, “Hey, Joe, wanna be friends?”

My heart melted. “Sure,” I said, “let’s be friends.”

In the midst of the turmoil of life, when we think all we want is to be left alone, Jesus extends His nail-scarred hand and invites us to be His friends. He says, “I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15). We have a choice: to keep to ourselves, or to open our heart to a friendship of unlimited love and guidance. Joe Stowell

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer. —Scriven

Jesus longs to be your Friend.
