为了写这篇文章,我上网查了查,世界上到底有多少民族,多少种语言。结果网上居然说“民族”不好定义,当然就没法子统计,语言马马虎虎统计一下,好像至少有6500种,大部分语言少于千人在使用。你不觉得奇怪吗?那么几个人还整个语言出来,和大多数人说一样的多好,办什么事都方便。我们这些流落海外,不得不说鸟语的人,对此深有体会,俺们说汉语不[

在此之前,圣经里所记的与神同行的人着墨不多,没有具体说他们犯过啥错。这挪亚是与神同行,要重建新世界的人,神说他是义人,他竟然也有喝得断片了的时候。他为什么呀?整个地球都差不多归他管了,他还想怎样?也许正是他到了人生的辉煌期,心灵的防御能力大大减弱,对罪疏于防范,光想着满足自己;还有一种可能,他感到了生活的无奈,生命的短暂,环境极[

带孩子们学圣经常常被他们的问题问懵,这就是为什么我必须要在圣灵的带领下好好读经默想,有“压力”唉!你要不要开始带下一代读经,神一定预备你应付挑战,因为祂要喂养祂的小羊,你就跟着沾光了。可是好玩儿的是孩子们想的又深刻又细致,我这懒人总跟不太上。这不,孩子问我在方舟里怎么处理排泄物,我到现在还没整明白,打算到天上问问挪亚太太[

本人喜欢清理物品,用不到的东西随手处理,所以孩子们小时候玩过的玩具在家里几乎不见踪影了。但是有一样东西我没扔,这件小玩意儿是挪亚方舟玩具的主体,这玩具本是一套,连船带盖,加上挪亚夫妇及成双成对的动物。这是长女出生不久教会朋友送的礼物,四个孩子在浴缸里洗澡的年代都喜欢玩这个,不把挪亚夫妇和动物们从方舟里折腾出来几个来回,这澡是洗[
