我們的價值
讀經: 詩篇8篇
金句: 「凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就賜他們權柄，作上帝的兒女。」（約翰福音1章12節）
全年讀經: 耶利米哀歌1-2章；希伯來書10章1-18節

專欄作家喬治·威爾在邁阿密大學的畢業典禮致詞中，提到一些統計數據，有助於我們不過於自負。他說：「地球循軌道繞著運轉的太陽，只是銀河系四千億恆星中的一顆而已，而我們所在的銀河系，和廣大未知的宇宙中可能存在的四百億個星系相比，實在是微不足道。如果所有的星球都像針頭一般大，加起來也比邁阿密的球場大三十億倍。」
在這些驚人的數據之外，還有一點：上帝創造並托住繁星滿天的宇宙，卻用無法測度的大愛來愛我們。他愛我們人類，不是把人類當作一個幾十億的群體來愛，而是愛我們每一個獨特的個體。儘管我們微不足道，但我們也能和保羅一樣宣告：「（基督）是愛我，為我捨己。」（加拉太書2章20節）
從天文學的角度來看，我們實在是渺小，但我們卻是上帝眷顧關愛的對象。我們沒有什麼值得驕傲的理由，上帝藉著各各他的十字架向我們每個人顯明了他的愛，為此我們當向他存無盡的感恩。VCG
深蒙永恆大愛，得享無邊恩典；天傾恩惠聖靈，為我將愛彰顯。Robinson
我們一無所誇，只誇蒙了上帝大愛。

Why We Have Value

As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God. —John 1:12
-->About this cover

In a commencement address to a graduating class at Miami University, columnist George Will gave some statistics that help to diminish our sense of self-importance. He pointed out that “the sun around which Earth orbits is one of perhaps 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, which is a piddling galaxy next door to nothing much.” He added, “There are perhaps 40 billion galaxies in the still-unfolding universe. If all the stars in the universe were only the size of the head of a pin, they still would fill Miami’s Orange Bowl to overflowing more than 3 billion times.”
There is a plus side to all that overwhelming data. The God who created and sustains our star-studded cosmos in its incomprehensible vastness loves us. And He doesn’t just love the human race as an entity of multiplied billions. He loves us individually. What Paul exclaims to be true about himself is true about each of us in all our insignificance: Christ “loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20).
Astronomically, we are insignificant. But we are the beloved objects of God’s care. While we have no reason for pride, we are inexpressibly grateful to the Lord whose love for us personally is revealed at Calvary’s cross. —Vernon C Grounds—Vernon C Grounds-->
Loved with everlasting love,Led by grace that love to know,Gracious Spirit from above,Thou hast taught me it is so! —Robinson
We have nothing to boast of but that we’re dearly loved by God.

巧合？乳癌婦八成曾養狗
【本報綜合報導】狗狗是人類最要好的朋友，但歐洲卻有最新研究指出，養狗可能會導致婦女罹患乳癌。
德國的慕尼黑大學最近對乳癌婦女做了一項調查，研究團隊發現，79.7%的罹患乳癌婦女曾經養過狗，而且養過狗的乳癌婦女比養過貓的乳癌女性患者多出許多，研究團隊的數據顯示，有養狗的婦女罹患乳癌的機率是一般人的29倍。
另一方面，一份來自於挪威的報告指出，在他們抽查的1萬4401隻母狗裡頭，有高達53.3%的母狗患有乳癌。科學家最後發現了一種人犬共通的病毒叫做「小鼠乳房腫瘤病毒」，科學家的理論是，狗身上的腫瘤病毒傳染給人類以後，導致婦女罹患乳癌。
科學家也表示，這也解釋了為什麼東方婦女移民到西方以後，罹患乳癌的機率就增加了，因為西方婦女普遍喜歡養狗。
不過，科學家只是根據研究結果歸納出推論，目前還沒有人能夠確定養狗就會導致乳癌。
