Giêsu ơi,
Nhìn kìa! Cái gì trên cây vậy?
Cameras à? Hay đồ trang trí?
Ồ, mận (roi)!
Lần đầu em thấy mận trên cây!
Wow, mận đẹp quá!
Hoa mận cũng đẹp nữa.
Đi bộ với Giêsu, em thấy bao điều kỳ diệu. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 345 – Prayer 345
The past year may have seemed like doom and gloom for the environment, but there was plenty to be thankful for. So once again, we bring you some of the happier environmental stories of 2017 (in no particular order). These include rediscoveries of species that were once thought to be extinct, local communities being granted land rights, and the emergence of new technologies that are boosting conservation efforts.

The map above shows which countries consume less electricity than the amount consumed by global bitcoin mining
Bitcoin’s ongoing meteoric price rise has received the bulk of recent press attention with a lot of discussion around whether or not it’s a bubble waiting to burst.
However, most the coverage has missed out one of the more interesting and unintended consequences of this price increase. That is the surge in global electricity consumption used to “mine” more Bitcoins.
Giêsu ơi,
Giêsu là chàng trai nghèo,
anh thợ mộc bằng cấp thấp,
người ăn uống với những kẻ tội lỗi…
Nếu em không biết Giêsu là Chúa trước,
liệu em có kết bạn với Giêsu? Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 342 – Prayer 342

An explosion took place early Wednesday in Bac Ninh Province, killing two children, aged one and five, and leaving six others injured, said local officials.
The incident, which destroyed seven houses and unroofed another 10, took place at a scrap facility in a residential area in Yen Phong District, some 40 kilometers (24 miles) northeast of Hanoi.

How to sum up 2017? The global economy improved but there were plenty of unsettling and upsetting events and trends. Catastrophic storms and flooding wrecked homes and livelihoods from South Asia to the Caribbean. Education quality in many countries fell short even as much of the world raced into the digital age. Yet extreme poverty continues to decline. Innovation and technology are enhancing the quality of life. And human capital is now the biggest driver of wealth in the world today. Here’s what 2017 looked like in 12 charts.
Jesus,
I have so little faith.
Please increase my faith.
I want to enjoy the table you prepare for me.
I want to feel your love.
You so love me.
Amen.

Policemen (center row) keep watch as inmates wait before being released from Hoang Tien prison, about 100 km (62 miles) outside Hanoi August 30, 2013. Despite the official enthusiasm, few outsiders believe that executions offer an effective means of deterring corruption. Photo credit: Reuters
Sipping a cup of coffee in his office overlooking the Saigon River, Lien Khui Thin, 62, questioned Vietnam’s rationale for executing people like him.
In 1999, Thin and two other men, including a prominent banker, were sentenced to death for embezzling VND3 trillion (now US$141 million) by falsifying government loan documents.

VietNamNet Bridge – Among the thousands of pagodas in Viet Nam, Co Le Pagoda in the northeastern province of Nam Dinh stands out. For centuries, inhabitants have cited three strange aspects of the edifice: its architectural mix of occident and orient, its bell, and its courageous monks and nuns who joined armies to fight against invaders.

Jesus,
Words I don’t like to hear are…
So whenever I hear these words,
please keep my heart still.
Still with these words.
Still with the persons who say these words.
Still with you.
Amen.
