主耶穌說:「在世上你們有苦難,但你們可以放心,我已經得勝了世界。」(約翰福音十六:三十三)。	
引言	
	世上所有人都會有苦難,並沒有人可以例外。因此,我們都應該時刻做好面對苦難的準備。在我看來,最重要的準備就是要把使徒保羅關於「生、死」的兩段重要論述思想清楚。保羅說:「我們活著,是為主而活;若死了,是為主而死。所以我們或活或死,總是主的人。」(羅馬書十四:八)他又說:「照著我所切慕盼望的,沒有一件事叫我羞愧,只要凡事放膽。無論是生,是死,總叫基督在我身上照常顯大。」(腓立比書一:二十)這些,就是我們對待生與死的態度,和應該有的作為。把這些論述牢記在心裡,當苦難臨到時,我們就猶如有了定海神針!不會慌亂,知道自己該怎麼做。
一、十年來我所經歷的四次苦難		
第一次經歷苦難:心臟出了大問題	
     作為一個傳道人的事奉崗位,六年沒有休假。二○一一年初,女兒先斬後奏,逼我們去西岸旅遊。我在黃石公園雪頂上出現胸悶氣喘,在回紐約的飛機上更加嚴重。在飛機上的一位加拿大醫生確定:是心臟出了問題,囑咐我儘快去看心臟專科醫生。後經檢查發現,是心臟主動脈瘤引起血管擴張,而且已達到百分之九十的危險程度。一個月後,危險程度發展到百分之九十五,必須馬上做外科手術。因為血管一旦爆裂,就無可挽回了!這需要做開胸大手術。那時我已年屆七十六歲,風險很大。一位總統級的外科專家為我做了十分成功的手術:切除了心臟主動脈,用人造纖維管替換,又更換了心臟兩間瓣。手術後八週,我又站上了講臺。	
第二次經歷苦難:脊椎神經出問題	
	二○一七年冬,突發坐骨神經痛,腰、腿和膝蓋都出現劇痛,行走困難,甚至生活不能自理。家人決定要為我購買輪椅了。二○一八年六月,進入成人護理中心,開始了人生的新階段。但我沒有因此而放棄了事奉的心志。成人護理中心內有好幾百人,這不是傳福音的大好機會嗎?我接過「愛心小組」,帶領基督徒和非基督徒每週開展活動,傳揚福音,受到大家歡迎(該中心的董事長和經理還參加了我們的演出)。我學習書法,抄寫聖經,作品在法拉盛市圖書館展出。參加電腦學習班,不但學到了新的技能,而且受老師啟發,買了多功能的蘋果手錶,開始恢復運動,健康逐步好轉。二○一九年三月初,我決定告別護理中心。	
第三次經歷苦難:得了惡性皮膚癌
	二○二○年五月四日,正是疫情高峰期。經檢驗確診,我得了惡性「鱗狀皮膚癌」。該怎樣面對這突發狀況呢?擔心害怕嗎?不!要仰望主!我想到聖詩《靠主有福》,就從Youtube中選出來,在電視上播放。「要依靠主,專心靠主,在一切事上認定主,衪必指引你的路!」這些話就是對我說的!聽了又聽,真好!唱到我心裡去了!心中有了完全的平安。五月十一日,一位專攻皮膚癌手術的外科醫生為我做了手術,前後四個半小時。因為是局部麻醉,所以我一直意識清楚,心中平安。醫生囑咐我,需要一個月才可恢復。我想:「這應該不致影響事奉。」所以我保留了原有的事奉計劃,沒有停止在教會的服事。	
第四次經歷苦難,全家都感染了新冠病毒	
這是萬萬沒有想到的!就在那之前,我還在「彩虹團契」群中,向大家提出兩項倡議:第一,除非必須不要外出,而且要在家裡有適當活動;第二,不要因此而盲目樂觀,萬一感染了,不要諱疾忌醫,要積極面對,及時就醫。想不到,不久後,竟發生在我自己的家裡!起因是女兒家那邊部分人身體不適,女兒尚好,所以仍然來照顧我們。等到她感覺自己也有些不對勁,而立即隔離時,為時晚矣!一月廿五檢測,廿七日確診:我和師母也都已「中招」了!師母腹瀉、發低燒,氧氣的飽和度下降到只有大約百分之八十,昏睡不起,不吃不喝。我是肺部痛,全身酸痛乏力,嗅覺喪失,沒有胃口,不能入睡,全家就靠兒子來支撐著。人本來就是脆弱而敏感的,在這種情況下,免不了東想西想。
	如果隨它去想,那就越想越負面,對自己非但沒有幫助,反而迷失了方向。其實,我們的信仰清楚明白地告訴我們:我們是從何而來,又歸向何處?無論是生、是死,我們總是主的人。這是一個大前提,一個讓我們永遠可以信靠的大前提!自己要做的,就是遵從醫生囑咐吃藥、休息。從小到大,我們生過很多病了,這次不過是新的,襲擊重一些,時間長一些,但一切終將過去的。
	人生如航船,需要一個舵、一個錨。那就是信仰!無論什麼情況,堅定信仰乃是關鍵所在!不要胡思亂想,而要去做一些積極事情。反正現在網路上Youtube很方便,想聽、想看的應有盡有。我選聽了優美的梁祝小提琴協奏曲、二泉映月,歡快活潑的土耳其進行曲……。蠻好!再去看看《五朵金花》,那是六十年前的老電影了。回想當年,自己也是二十歲出頭,風華正茂。	
	而今,滄海桑田,物是人非,當年電影中那些花樣年華的人們,和我一樣,也該是八九十歲的老人了!然而,主救了我、主使用我,我的人生沒有虛渡。我也盡可能天天堅持在家步行半個小時,不向病痛低頭,保持憤發的精神狀態。服藥後的第四天,不發低燒了。思想起十年中的經歷,「苦難是學習,是更深刻的學習」,這個感動進入我心中,決定要寫出來,所以每天當一個功課去做。正是這樣一些活動,陪伴著我渡過了隔離期。
	
二、在苦難中我學到了什麼	
	主耶穌說:「在世上你們有苦難」這是對所有的人說的,沒有人可以例外。聖經中關於苦難的教導,有三個重點:第一,苦難是神所容許的,神是知道的;第二,神讓苦難臨到人,是為了熬煉、揀選我們,讓我們得到好處;第三,神會給人出路,搭救我們。用這些教導來對照我這十年所經歷的四次苦難,我學到了功課,心胸敞亮,充滿感恩!因為每一次的經歷都是印證!	
	第一次苦難:二○一一年,如果不是因為去西岸旅遊,登上高海拔的黃石公園雪頂和高空飛行,就不會發現我心臟主動脈即將爆裂的危險,因而讓我得到及時、高標準的救治。這絕不是碰巧,而是神的憐憫!否則,我還有今天嗎?這十年的生命,十年的事奉機會,就是神給我的好處。
	第二次苦難:由於坐骨神經痛、腰痛、腿痛,生活不能自理,這當然是苦難。但是,也正因為如此,我才有了進入那個幾百人的大禾場,去廣傳福音的機會。在那裡,我還學到了電腦知識,認識了蘋果手錶的運動軟體,重新開始步行鍛練,並最終恢復了健康。神是在苦難的爐中揀選我們,測試我們,給我們成長的機會。讓我懂得了「逆境也有神的美意」。	
	第三次苦難:來得突然,去得也快。從發現到康復也就兩個月不到。主要讓我學習什麼呢?原來就是《靠主有福》那首聖詩所教導的:要依靠主,專心靠主,在一切事上認定主,祂必指引你的路。這次苦難就是神給我的一個測試。這種惡性皮膚癌是致命的(據報導,電視主持人趙忠祥就是因此去世的)。在我患病時正是疫情高峰期,所到之處幾乎不見人跡。但我卻得到了及時而且高標準的救治,恢復很快。雖然刀口幾乎看不出來了,但《靠主有福》永留在我心中!(未完待續)

    You really make it appear really easy with your presentation however I in finding this matter to
    be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It kind of feels too complex and very broad for me.
    I am taking a look forward for your subsequent put up,
    I'll attempt to get the hang of it!

    What New Glenn will do
    In some ways, New Glenn has already made its mark on the launch industry. Blue Origin has for years pitched the rocket to compete with both SpaceX and United Launch Alliance — a joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin that buys engines from Blue Origin — for lucrative military launch contracts.
    omg магазин
    The US Space Force selected Blue Origin, ULA and SpaceX in June to compete for $5.6 billion worth of Pentagon contracts for national security missions slated to launch over the next four years.
    Blue Origin also has deals with several commercial companies to launch satellites. The contracts include plans to help deploy Amazon’s Kuiper internet satellites and a recently inked deal with AST SpaceMobile to help launch the Midland, Texas-based company’s space-based cellular broadband network.

    New Glenn could also be instrumental in building Blue Origin’s planned space station, called Orbital Reef. Blue Origin and it commercial partners, including Sierra Space and Boeing, among others, hope the station will one day provide a new destination for astronauts as the International Space Station is phased out of service.

    New Glenn vs. other powerful rockets
    New Glenn packs significant power. Dubbed a “heavy-lift” vehicle, its capabilities lie between SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and the more powerful Falcon Heavy launch vehicle.

    SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9, for example, can haul up to 22.8 metric tons (50,265 pounds) to space. While New Glenn is capable of carrying about double that mass, it may also be roughly the same price as a Falcon 9: reportedly around $60 million to $70 million per launch.

    “I think in order to compete with Falcon 9, you have to go head-to-head or better on price,” said Caleb Henry, the director of research at Quilty Space, which provides data and analysis about the space sector.

    The question, however, is whether Blue Origin will be able to sustain a competitive price point, Henry added.

    Still, one feature that makes New Glenn stand out is its large payload fairing, or nose cone. The component protects the cargo bay and is a whopping 23 feet (7 meters) wide — nearly 6 feet (2 meters) larger than that of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy.

    Henry said Blue Origin likely opted to outfit New Glenn with such a large fairing in order to help fulfill Bezos’ vision of the future.

    What’s on board this flight
    Blue Origin had planned to launch a pair of Mars-bound satellites on behalf of NASA for the first flight of New Glenn.

    But delays with the rocket’s development prompted the space agency to change course, moving that flight to this spring at the earliest. So for this inaugural flight, Blue Origin opted to instead fly a “demonstrator” that will test technology needed for the company’s proposed Blue Ring spacecraft — which will aim to serve as a sort of in-space rideshare vehicle, dragging satellites deeper into space when needed.
    [url=https://omgprice10.com]официальная ссылка на omg[/url]
    The demonstrator on this New Glenn flight will remain aboard the rocket for the entire six-hour flight, Blue Origin said, and it will validate “communications capabilities from orbit to ground” as well as “test its in-space telemetry, tracking and command hardware, and ground-based radiometric tracking.”

    The Blue Ring Pathfinder demonstrator is part of a deal Blue Origin inked with the US Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit.

    Why Blue Origin wants to reuse rockets
    Similar to SpaceX, Blue Origin is aiming to recover and refly its first-stage rocket boosters in a bid to make launches less expensive.

    “Reusability is integral to radically reducing cost-per-launch,” the company said in a recent news release, using the same oft-repeated sentiment that SpaceX has touted since it began landing rocket boosters in 2015.
    Bezos, however, has acknowledged the importance of reusing rocket parts since he founded the company in 2000 — two years before Musk established SpaceX. And the company has already developed its suborbital New Shepard tourism rocket to be reusable.
    “It’s not a copy cat game,” Henry said. “Blue Origin has been pursuing reusable vehicles since before reusable vehicles were cool. Now it’s much more of a mainstream idea (because of SpaceX). The difference is that it’s taken Blue Origin so much longer to get to orbit.”

    If successful, returning the New Glenn rocket booster for a safe landing will be a stunning feat. After expending most of its fuel to propel the rocket’s upper stage to space, the first-stage booster will need to make a clean separation. The booster must then maneuver with pinpoint guidance and reignite its engines with precision timing to avoid crashing into the ocean or the Jacklyn recovery platform.

    New Glenn’s first flight
    Blue Origin formally announced the development of New Glenn — which aims to outpower SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets and haul spacecraft up to 45 metric tons (99,200 pounds) to orbit — in 2016.
    kra at
    The vehicle is long overdue, as the company previously targeted 2020 for its first launch.

    Delays, however, are common in the aerospace industry. And the debut flight of a new vehicle is almost always significantly behind schedule.

    Rocket companies also typically take a conservative approach to the first liftoff, launching dummy payloads such as hunks of metal or, as was the case with SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy debut in 2018, an old cherry red sports car.
    https://kra23att.cc
    kraken
    Blue Origin has also branded itself as a company that aims to take a slow, diligent approach to rocket development that doesn’t “cut any corners,” according to Bezos, who founded Blue Origin and funds the company.

    The company’s mascot is a tortoise, paying homage to “The Tortoise and the Hare” fable that made the “slow and steady wins the race” mantra a childhood staple.

    “We believe slow is smooth and smooth is fast,” Bezos said in 2016. Those comments could be seen as an attempt to position Blue Origin as the anti-SpaceX, which is known to embrace speed and trial-and-error over slow, meticulous development processes.
    But SpaceX has certainly won the race to orbit. The company’s first orbital rocket, the Falcon 1, made a successful launch in September 2008. The company has deployed hundreds of missions to orbit since then.

    And while SpaceX routinely destroys rockets during test flights as it begins developing a new rocket, the company has a solid track record for operational missions. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, for example, has experienced two in-flight failures and one launchpad explosion but no catastrophic events during human missions.

    On a long-dormant pad in Florida, a rocket that could challenge SpaceX’s dominance is poised to launch
    кракен даркнет

    On a Florida launchpad that has been dormant for almost two decades, a new, roughly 320-foot (98-meter) rocket — developed by Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin — is poised for its maiden flight.

    The uncrewed launch vehicle, called New Glenn, will mark Blue Origin’s first attempt to send a rocket to orbit, a feat necessary if the company hopes to chip away at SpaceX’s long-held dominance in the industry.

    New Glenn is set to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as early as next week.
    https://kra23s.cc
    kraken даркнет
    The rocket, which stands about as tall as a 30-story building, consists of several parts: The first-stage rocket booster gives the initial thrust at liftoff. Atop the booster is an upper rocket stage that includes a cargo bay protected by a nose cone that will house experimental technology for this mission.

    And, in an attempt to replicate the success that SpaceX has found reusing rocket boosters over the past decade, Blue Origin will also aim to guide New Glenn’s first-stage rocket booster back to a safe landing on a seafaring platform — named Jacklyn for Bezos’ mother — minutes after takeoff.

    Like SpaceX, Blue Origin will seek to recover, refurbish and reuse first-stage rocket boosters to drive down costs.

    For this inaugural mission, a smooth flight is not guaranteed.

    But the eventual success of New Glenn, named after storied NASA astronaut John Glenn, is instrumental to some of Blue Origin’s most ambitious goals.

    The rocket could one day power national security launches, haul Amazon internet satellites to space and even help in the construction of a space station that Blue Origin is developing with commercial partners.

    Chile’s President Boric leads journey to South Pole in historic trip
    кракен ссылка

    Chile’s President Gabriel Boric travelled to Antarctica’s South Pole on Friday, a place where no other Latin American president has set foot, according to the Chilean government.

    Boric led the historic two-day trip, named Operation Pole Star III, to extend the environmental monitoring of pollutants on Antarctica, Chile’s government said in a statement.

    He travelled with scientists, armed forces commanders and government ministers from the Chilean capital of Santiago to Punta Arenas, a city in southern Chile, public broadcaster Television Nacional de Chile (TVN) reported. From there, they made several stops before finally reaching the US-run Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, according to TVN.

    Chile is one of seven countries that has a territorial claim in Antarctica, alongside Argentina, Australia, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom.

    It is also a signatory of the Antarctic Treaty, which dictates that the continent may only be used for peaceful and scientific purposes.

    While Chile has historically carried out scientific activity in Antarctica’s northern sector, the country’s government is now hoping to expand research into the west of the continent, its statement said.
    Boric called his trip to the South Pole an “honor” and a source of pride, TVN reported.

    “This is a milestone for us. It is the first time a Chilean and Latin American President has visited the South Pole,” he said, according to TVN.

    A year ago today, things went from bad to worse for Boeing
    kra23 cc

    At 5 p.m. PT on January 5, 2024, Boeing seemed like a company on the upswing. It didn’t last. Minutes later, a near-tragedy set off a full year of problems.

    As Alaska Airlines flight 1282 climbed to 16,000 feet in its departure from Portland, Oregon, a door plug blew out near the rear of the plane, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage. Phones and clothing were ripped away from passengers and sent hurtling into the night sky. Oxygen masks dropped, and the rush of air twisted seats next to the hole toward the opening.
    https://kra23c.cc
    kra cc
    Fortunately, those were among the few empty seats on the flight, and the crew got the plane on the ground without any serious injuries. The incident could have been far worse — even a fatal crash.

    Not much has gone right for Boeing ever since. The company has had one misstep after another, ranging from embarrassing to horrifying. And many of the problems are poised to extend into 2025 and perhaps beyond.

    The problems were capped by another Boeing crash in South Korea that killed 179 people on December 29 in what was in the year’s worst aviation disaster. The cause of the crash of a 15-year old Boeing jet flown by Korean discount carrier Jeju Air is still under investigation, and it is quite possible that Boeing will not be found liable for anything that led to the tragedy.
    But unlike the Jeju crash, most of the problems of the last 12 months have clearly been Boeing’s fault.

    And 2024 was the sixth straight year of serious problems for the once proud, now embattled company, starting with the 20-month grounding of its best selling plane, the 737 Max, following two fatal crashes in late 2018 and early 2019, which killed 346 people.

    Still the outlook for 2024 right before the Alaska Air incident had been somewhat promising. The company had just achieved the best sales month in its history in December 2023, capping its strongest sales year since 2018.

    It was believed to be on the verge of getting Federal Aviation Administration approval for two new models, the 737 Max 7 and Max 10, with airline customers eager to take delivery. Approvals and deliveries of its next generation widebody, the 777X, were believed to be close behind. Its production rate had been climbing and there were hopes that it could be on the verge of returning to profitability for the first time since 2018.

    The survivors of recent crashes were sitting at the back of the plane. What does that tell us about airplane safety?
    kraken darknet

    Look at the photos of the two fatal air crashes of the last two weeks, and amid the horror and the anguish, one thought might come to mind for frequent flyers.

    The old frequent-flyer adage is that sitting at the back of the plane is a safer place to be than at the front — and the wreckage of both Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 and Jeju Air flight 2216 seem to bear that out.
    https://kra23c.cc
    kra cc
    The 29 survivors of the Azeri crash were all sitting at the back of the plane, which split into two, leaving the rear half largely intact. The sole survivors of the South Korean crash, meanwhile, were the two flight attendants in their jumpseats in the very tail of the plane.

    So is that old adage — and the dark humor jokes about first and business class seats being good until there’s a problem with the plane — right after all?

    In 2015, TIME Magazine reporters wrote that they had combed through the records of all US plane crashes with both fatalities and survivors from 1985 to 2000, and found in a meta-analysis that seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32% fatality rate overall, compared with 38% in the front third and 39% in the middle third.

    Even better, they found, were middle seats in that back third of the cabin, with a 28% fatality rate. The “worst” seats were aisles in the middle third of the aircraft, with a 44% fatality rate.
    But does that still hold true in 2024?

    According to aviation safety experts, it’s an old wives’ tale.

    “There isn’t any data that shows a correlation of seating to survivability,” says Hassan Shahidi, president of the Flight Safety Foundation. “Every accident is different.”

    “If we’re talking about a fatal crash, then there is almost no difference where one sits,” says Cheng-Lung Wu, associate professor at the School of Aviation of the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

    Ed Galea, professor of fire safety engineering at London’s University of Greenwich, who has conducted landmark studies on plane crash evacuations, warns, “There is no magic safest seat.”
