Jesus,
Life has so much injustice.
The first thing I can do
in healing wounded hearts
is stillness
with you
always.
“Be still
and know that I am God.”*
Yes, being stillness
and receiving miraculous things you prepare.
Amen.

Lời cầu nguyện 428 – Prayer 428
Giêsu ơi,
Trước khi biết Giêsu,
em biết mình sẽ viết gì.
Sau khi biết Giêsu,
em chẳng biết mình sẽ viết gì.
Trước khi viết,
em có một ý tưởng.
Một ý tưởng nhỏ.
Lời cầu nguyện 427 – Prayer 427
Giêsu ơi,
Giêsu yêu em biết bao
khi ngày nào cũng tặng quà cho em,
những bông hoa rực rỡ, quyến rũ này?
Nếu những thứ mau tàn
cũng tràn đầy tình yêu Giêsu như những bông hoa này,
thì với những thứ trường tồn hơn,
chúng sẽ tràn đầy tình yêu của Giêsu biết bao nhiêu? Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 427 – Prayer 427

BANGKOK — Some 4,000 families in Laos affected by a China-Laos high-speed rail link, begun in 2016 as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, are to receive compensation, but the amounts involved and timing are unclear.
Channelled through new accounts at Banque Pour Le Commerce Exterieur Lao Public, the communist country’s largest state-owned bank, payments will be made to farmers who sustained crop damage, and to those with “residential properties surrendered to the government,” according to the Lao News Agency, the official mouthpiece of the one-party state.
In rural Tay Ninh, Teach For Vietnam brings a jolt of change to English teaching

Vu Thi Hang’s (not pictured above) teaching style is far from traditional.
In her class, it’s common to find students moving, dancing, acting and singing. In fact, she encourages it.
“I think it helps students to feel the language,” Hang, 25, tells Saigoneer. She describes herself as a theater hobbyist, while also holding a Masters in Asia Pacific Studies. “I like to encourage expression, so the students can try and use the language creatively.”
Prayer 426
Jesus,
Before knowing you,
when sadness came,
I followed the feeling,
I was sad
and I didn’t know why I was unhappy.
After knowing you,
when sadness comes,
I see the feeling,
I talk with you about all things related
and together we see the feeling go.
Free.
Amen.

Vietnam Businesses, farmers struggle to develop tea brands
Vietnam is exporting tea mainly in the form of raw materials. In an effort to increase tea export value, both farmers and businesses in the northern province of Thai Nguyen, the country’s largest tea producer, are seeking to develop brand names for their products.
Mr Nguyen Duc Trong, owner of a tea workshop in Thai Nguyen province, has been working hard to promote his products. Trong’s goal is to develop a tea brand and seek outlets for products.
Rev. James Swarts: Remarks at Spring Action 2018
Rev. James Swarts, President of the Rochester chapter of Veterans For Peace, was a member of the VFP tour group which traveled Viet Nam for 18 days recently, with stops in Ha Noi, the former DMZ and Khe Sanh, Da Nang, My Lai (on the 50th anniversary of the massacre there), and Sai Gon.
Statements by Pres. Donald Trump and U.S. government (and British and French) officials to justify American military actions in Syria are painful reminders not only of lies we were told about Viet Nam a half century ago. We heard echoes of those same lies regarding Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and many other places in the world that are now much worse off after our military actions — actions that were illegal, no matter how we try to parse the meanings of the documents and international agreements that we signed.
Prayer 424
Jesus,
In smiling,
I allow your love to grow up
and bloom red flower clusters on my face.
A cheerful face makes a glad heart.
The joyful heart rejoices in a holy kiss of the wind.
Wishing your brightness shine upon the face you love,
then the mouth is filled with laughter,
and the tongue is filled with songs of joy.*
Amen.

The Greater Mekong Subregion: Rural no more
By 2030, more than 40% of the population in the Greater Mekong Subregion will be living in cities. Photo: ADB.
greatermekong – The subregion is one of the least urbanized areas in the world, but its cities are growing and their economic impact is being felt.
Urbanization levels in the Greater Mekong Subregion are low, ranging from 19.5% in Cambodia to 44.2% in Thailand. However, in all GMS countries, urban areas account for a much larger percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP)—at least half in most countries and about 75% in Thailand—than the share of its national populations.
Western strikes in Syria – five key questions
IISS Date: 12 April 2018
By Emile Hokayem, IISS Senior Fellow for Middle East Security.
What are the West’s military options – and what might the targets be?
Western countries have to decide whether military action in Syria is about punishment and deterrence for the use of chemical weapons, or whether they want to be more ambitious and go after the military infrastructure of the Assad regime, which has enabled his war machine to make very significant advances recently.
Prayer 423
Jesus,
Today is a new day.
Please fill my soul with your peace.
Please give me a nice day…
You wake me up on time
but I’m so sleepy.
Let me sleep a little longer… Continue reading Prayer 423
