Rue Cler

我們入住的酒店在Rue Cler附近，
Rue Cler位於巴黎市20區的第7區，
鄰近metro站交通方便。
由Rue Cler步行到Eiffle Tower只需十分鐘，
更是飯後的餘興節目。



寧靜的街道，
有數間咖啡店、旅店、
也有很多細小的商店賣不同的貨品，
如有水果店、芝士店、紅酒店、
麵包店、朱古力店、雜貨店...







法國人最喜歡坐在咖啡店外的位置，
欣賞咖啡、紅酒和眼前的路人與事物。

咖啡

自問不是愛喝咖啡之人，
來到法國就品嘗了第一杯咖啡，
很濃、很香、很純、
這樣便開始我的第二杯、第三杯...
其實法國真的不需要有Starbucks!

捨不得你

再用多一點氣力又走了一天，
來到在巴黎最後一個晚上，
只能對著熟識的街道、metro、
和不同的景點說聲：
我捨不得你！

迷宮

這兩天到過梵爾賽宮和羅浮宮，
兩個古老的王宮現時已成為博物館。
王宮故之言擁有極大的面積，
歷史久故之言有極多珍貴的極品欣賞。
起初到訪者隨著王宮的地圖，
興奮地探索走不盡的路和看不盡的寶物，
只是大概三小時後，
眼前的王宮已變成迷宮，
因為到訪者雙足太累了！
走不盡的路仍然走著，
看不盡的極品仍然在眼前出現，
但是出口仍未找到！

巴黎

有人問：你去過多少次巴黎？
我：未去過？為何會問多少次？
有人話：見你家中掛著巴黎鐵塔的畫，以為你在巴黎買它...
我：那幅畫是在IKEA買的...
有人話：見你facebook照片的背景是巴黎鐵塔，以為你去過...
我：那個是在Las Vegas Paris酒店外拍的照片...
有人話：見你鋼琴上有座載滿紅、藍、白jelly beans的巴黎鐵塔，
以為你在巴黎買它...
我：那個巴黎鐵塔是在Las Vegas Paris酒店內買飲品所用的container...
而那些jelly beans是在Save On Food買的...

一個一直夢寐以求的地方 — 巴黎
2008年的今天我終於至身於巴黎了！

His Words

I read this today, and His Words comfort me...
2 Corinthians Ch. 4 : 7- 18
from the Message

We've been surrounded and battered by troubles,
but we're not demoralized;
we're not sure what to do,
but we know that God knows what to do;
we've been spiritually terrorized,
but God hasn't left our side;
we've been thrown down,
but we haven't broken.

What they did to Jesus, they do to us
—trial and torture, mockery and murder;
what Jesus did among them, he does in us—he lives!
Our lives are at constant risk for Jesus' sake,
which makes Jesus' life all the more evident in us.
While we're going through the worst,
you're getting in on the best!

We're not keeping this quiet, not on your life.
Just like the psalmist who wrote,
"I believed it, so I said it," we say what we believe.
And what we believe is that the One who raised up
the Master Jesus will just as certainly raise us up with you, alive.
Every detail works to your advantage and to God's glory:
more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise!

So we're not giving up. How could we!
Even though on the outside it often looks like things are
falling apart on us, on the inside,
where God is making new life,
not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.

These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times,
the lavish celebration prepared for us.
There's far more here than meets the eye.
The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow.
But the things we can't see now will last forever.

太執著

太執著
對自己太執著
對自己所作的太執著
對自己所說的太執著
太執著了

所以心情有點不太好
所以心裡在煩躁

放鬆點
看開點
交託神
神體會
神明白
神知道
神幫助
神釋放
神加力

不要叫執著留到明天
好讓明天帶著盼望迎接新挑戰
