Bài ca tình yêu

Dear brothers and sisters,

Because this song mentions the sea, waves, boats…, more than 10 years ago, passenger boats to Da Nang Bay or to Cu Lao Cham Island in Hoi An often played the song. Oh my God, sitting on a bumpy boat and listening to the love song made me feel smooth, my friends.

This song was composed by Thanh Vuong in 2008 and performed by Dinh Manh Ninh. Nearly 15 years later, the song was covered by new generation singers.

Enjoy. Continue reading Bài ca tình yêu

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.[a] It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus[b]), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Phép lạ hằng ngày 56

Chào anh chị em,

Với mình, cảm thấy Chúa bên cạnh là một trong những phép lạ quan trọng nhất. Một trong những trường hợp mà mình muốn kể là thường khi mình đang căng, đang bực bội ai đó hay chuyện gì đó, Chúa sẽ đến nhắc nhở mình, thường là mình bị vấp chân đau điếng. Chúa dùng cái vấp chân đó để kéo mình ra khỏi sự bực mình, giận hờn đó, để quay lại và nắm tay Chúa thật chặt, để Chúa giúp mình tĩnh lặng.

Chúa hay nhắc vậy, và kiên nhẫn với mình để từ từ mình khôn ra. Mình nhận ra Chúa đang kéo mình ra khỏi hỏa ngục của lửa giận đang thiêu đốt. Mình nhận ra điều này cũng là nhờ Chúa mở mắt cho mình. Cũng là phép lạ với mình.

In Christ,

Singapore: Investigating exploitation and abuse of young domestic workers

Al Jazeera English – 12-3-2025

There are more than 200,000 foreign domestic workers in Singapore.

Under the law, they have to be at least 23 years old.

But one NGO says it is seeing more and more minors at its shelter for abused maids.

Most of these girls come from Myanmar, where investigations reveal a web of deceit and corruption in the recruitment process, and immigration officials are regularly bribed to doctor birthdates on travel documents.

Because of their youth, the girls are often easy targets for abusive employers and sexual predators.

But just how bad is the problem and what is being done to remedy it? 101 East investigates.
