Keep on the sunny side

Dear brothers and sisters,

What do you do when you are tired?

Praying to God and Buddha?

Good.

However, if you work in a building and do not go out in the sun, or if you go out in the sun, you wear sun-protective clothing, then you will easily feel that your prayers are not heard and feel more stressed. Continue reading Keep on the sunny side

Phép lạ hằng ngày 52

Chào anh chị em,

Mấy nay Sài Gòn trời nắng nóng, mình phải uống rất nhiều nước để giữ cơ thể chống lại cái nóng. Trưa nay trời rất nắng, mình vừa đi ngoài đường về nhà thì có bác người quen nhờ đi mua trái dừa vì sẵn tiện mình đang đi xe máy, và vì chỗ bán dừa hơi xa, bác không tiện đi bộ giữa trời nắng.

Mình tới quán bán mấy trái dừa. Sẵn tiện mua cho bác, mình cũng mua cho mình một trái, vì theo Đông y, nước dừa vừa có tính hàn và tính thấp, tức là vừa mát để chống cái nóng, và thấp là cái sệt sệt để chống lại cái khô táo của trời nắng. Thật đúng là cái mà cơ thể mình đang cần giữa trời nắng nóng và khô táo. Mình nhận ra ngay việc bác kia nhờ mình đi mua nước dừa là phép lạ của Chúa làm cho mình, để giúp giữ mình khỏe mạnh.

Con cảm ơn Cha.

In Christ,

Manila, Philippines – Almost three years after leaving the presidency, former President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested by Philippine authorities in Manila, upon the request of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, which is investigating allegations of “crimes against humanity” committed during his six years in power.

Duterte was immediately taken into police custody on Tuesday at the Manila international airport following his arrival from Hong Kong, in a move hailed by human rights groups as “a critical step for accountability in the Philippines”.

His trip to Hong Kong over the weekend had whipped up speculation that he would evade arrest.
