Jesus,
Ants are in our rice cooker.
It’s sunny now.
Perhaps it’ll rain or storm in the coming days,
so the ants need more food.
I need to cook rice now
but I have to wait for the ants to go out.

Prayer 589
Jesus,
Look.
The sea is beautiful.
A big ship becomes tiny.
So quiet.
Oh, a monkey.
Why does that monkey keep looking at me?
Because I’m eating ice cream?
Does he want to eat ice cream too? Continue reading Prayer 589
Prayer 588
Jesus,
I love Bà Triệu.
She said,
“I only want to ride on huge winds,
kick intense waves,
kill killer whales in South China Sea,
take back the country,
build independence,
take off the yoke of slavery,
and not bend my back to be a concubine for a man.”* Continue reading Prayer 588

Where are we going?
Dear brothers and sisters,
Where are you going? Where am I going? Where we all are going?
Obviously we all are going to the end of life – to death.
But is that all for the entire arduous earthy journey? Birth, living, and death? And nothing else? Continue reading Where are we going?
Prayer 587
Jesus,
What do you mean
“I am the vine;
you are the branches.
If you remain in me
and I in you,
you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing.”*?
I’m thinking about your words
while I’m walking in a park. Continue reading Prayer 587
Mind precedes all
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Dhammapada starts with: “Mind precedes all. Mind is the chief.” We can talk about this forever. So many philosophical schools of the world have talked about the mind as the chief.
We can start out very easily by saying: If you do something, it is because your mind has decided beforehand that you would do that thing. And when you “lose your mind”, you do stupid things that you would regret later. Continue reading Mind precedes all

em muốn em ở trong Giêsu. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 586 – Prayer 586
How the War Party Lost the Middle East
January 01, 2019By Patrick Buchanan
“Assad must go, Obama says.”
So read the headline in The Washington Post, Aug. 18, 2011.
The story quoted President Barack Obama directly:
“The future of Syria must be determined by its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way. … the time has come for President Assad to step aside.”
France’s Nicolas Sarkozy and Britain’s David Cameron signed on to the Obama ultimatum: Assad must go!
Prayer 585
Jesus,
Many people say to me,
“You are so naive.”
They’re right.
I’m naive.
Perhaps because I’m naive,
you lead me to politics,
don’t you? Continue reading Prayer 585
Where the dead help the living
By Trong Nghia
December 24, 2018 | 09:57 am GMT+7 express.vn
In northern Vietnam, old people risk their lives to pick up small notes drivers toss out on a highway to honor the dead.
It’s around noon and Hoang Van Dang sits quietly in a shabby hut on a national highway, his eyes glued to the street.
Then, suddenly, he plunges into the highway before returning with three VND500 and VND2,000 (8.6 cents) currency notes in his palm. The 76-year-old man in a pair of worn-out flip-flops is quick and agile.
Within 10 minutes he runs out to pick up bills five times.
Prayer 584
Jesus,
I read The Winning Side of Huy Đức 6 years ago.
Do you want me to read again?
I think I need to understand the historical time
as I understand my palm.
Amen.

FILE – The cleaning operation of the area that was used for storing Agent Orange is seen from a plane taking off from Danang international airport.
TAIPEI — Vietnam is demanding compensation from manufacturers of Agent Orange in what experts describe as a last resort for helping citizens who still fall sick or face disabilities linked to the defoliant the United States used during war in the country five decades ago.
The foreign ministry in Hanoi asked Thursday that Monsanto and other U.S. firms compensate victims of Agent Orange, the Vietnamese news outlet VnExpress International reported.
Prayer 583
Jesus,
Let’s read Matthew 19:16-24,
The rich and the Kingdom of God.
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked,
“Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied.
“There is only One who is good.
If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” Continue reading Prayer 583
