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)

    Запой — это не просто бытовое пьянство, а одно из наиболее опасных проявлений алкогольной зависимости. Во время запоя организм перестаёт функционировать в нормальном режиме: сердечно-сосудистая система работает на износ, нервная система перегружена токсинами, а печень не справляется с нагрузкой. На этом фоне могут возникать тяжёлые осложнения — от судорог и гипогликемии до нарушения дыхания и алкогольного психоза. Чем дольше длится запой, тем глубже метаболические нарушения и выше риск серьёзных последствий.

    Today was supposed to be the day that President Donald Trump’s so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on dozens of countries kicked in after a three-month delay, absent trade deals. But their introduction has been postponed, again.

    The new, August 1 deadline prolongs uncertainty for businesses but also gives America’s trading partners more time to strike trade deals with the United States, avoiding the hefty levies.

    Mainstream economists would probably cheer that outcome. Most have long disliked tariffs and can point to research showing they harm the countries that impose them, including the workers and consumers in those economies. And although they also recognize the problems free trade can create, high tariffs are rarely seen as the solution.

    Trump’s tariffs so far have not meaningfully boosted US inflation, slowed the economy or hurt jobs growth. Inflation is “the dog that didn’t bark,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent likes to say. But economists argue inflation and jobs will have a delayed reaction to tariffs that could start to get ugly toward the end of the year, and that the current calm before the impending storm has provided the administration with a false sense of security.

    “The positives (of free trade) outweigh the negatives, even in rich countries,” Antonio Fatas, an economics professor at business school INSEAD, told CNN. “I think in the US, the country has benefited from being open, Europe has benefited from being open.”

    Consumers lose out
    Tariffs are taxes on imports and their most direct typical effect is to drive up costs for producers and prices for consumers.

    Around half of all US imports are purchases of so-called intermediate products, needed to make finished American goods, according to data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

    “If you look at a Boeing aircraft, or an automobile manufactured in the US or Canada… it’s really internationally sourced,” Doug Irwin, an economics professor at Dartmouth College, said on the EconTalk podcast in May. And when American businesses have to pay more for imported components, it raises their costs, he added.

    Likewise, tariffs raise the cost of finished foreign goods for their American importers.

    “Then they have to pass that on to consumers in most instances, because they don’t have deep pockets where they can just absorb a 10 or 20 or 30% tariff,” Irwin said.

    Unity and BrightBuilt factory-built homes share an important feature: They are airtight, part of what makes them 60% more efficient than a standard home. GO Logic says its homes are even more efficient, requiring very little energy to keep cool or warm.

    “Everybody wants to be able to build a house that’s going to take less to heat and cool,” said Unity director Mark Hertzler.

    Home efficiency has other indirect benefits. The insulation and airtightness – aided by heat pumps and air exchangers – helps manage the movement of heat, air and moisture, which keeps fresh air circulating and mold growth at bay, according to Hertzler.

    Buntel, a spring allergy sufferer, said his Somerville home’s air exchange has made a noticeable difference in the amount of pollen in the house. And customers have remarked on how quiet their homes are, due to their insulation.

    “I’m from New England, so I’ve always lived in drafty, uncomfortable, older houses,” Buntel said. “This is really amazing to me, how consistent it is throughout the year.”
    Some panelized home customers are choosing to build not just to reduce their carbon footprint, but because of the looming threat of a warming planet, and the stronger storms it brings.

    Burton DeWilde, a Unity homeowner based in Vermont, wanted to build a home that could withstand increasing climate impacts like severe flooding.

    “I think of myself as a preemptive climate refugee, which is maybe a loaded term, but I wasn’t willing to wait around for disaster to strike,” he told CNN.

    Sustainability is one of Unity’s founding principles, and the company builds houses with the goal of being all-electric.

    “We’re trying to eliminate fossil fuels and the need for fossil fuels,” Hertzler said.

    Goodson may drill oil by day, but the only fossil fuel he uses at home is diesel to power the house battery if the sun doesn’t shine for days. Goodson estimated he burned just 30 gallons of diesel last winter – hundreds of gallons less than Maine homeowners who burn oil to stay warm.

    “We have no power bill, no fuel bill, all the things that you would have in an on-grid house,” he said. “We pay for internet, and we pay property taxes, and that’s it.”

    The bow of a US Navy cruiser damaged in a World War II battle in the Pacific has shone new light on one of the most remarkable stories in the service’s history.

    More than 80 years ago, the crew of the USS New Orleans, having been hit by a Japanese torpedo and losing scores of sailors, performed hasty repairs with coconut logs, before a 1,800-mile voyage across the Pacific in reverse.

    The front of the ship, or the bow, had sunk to the sea floor. But over the weekend, the Nautilus Live expedition from the Ocean Exploration Trust located it in 675 meters (2,214 feet) of water in Iron Bottom Sound in the Solomon Islands.

    Using remotely operated underwater vehicles, scientists and historians observed “details in the ship’s structure, painting, and anchor to positively identify the wreckage as New Orleans,” the expedition’s website said.

    On November 30, 1942, New Orleans was struck on its portside bow during the Battle of Tassafaronga, off Guadalcanal island, according to an official Navy report of the incident.
    https://kra34g.cc
    kraken сайт
    The torpedo’s explosion ignited ammunition in the New Orleans’ forward ammunition magazine, severing the first 20% of the 588-foot warship and killing more than 180 of its 900 crew members, records state.

    The crew worked to close off bulkheads to prevent flooding in the rest of the ship, and it limped into the harbor on the island of Tulagi, where sailors went into the jungle to get repair supplies.

    “Camouflaging their ship from air attack, the crew jury-rigged a bow of coconut logs,” a US Navy account states.
    With that makeshift bow, the ship steamed – in reverse – some 1,800 miles across the Pacific to Australia for sturdier repairs, according to an account from the National World War II Museum in Louisiana.

    Retired US Navy Capt. Carl Schuster described to CNN the remarkable skill involved in sailing a warship backwards for that extended distance.

    “‘Difficult’ does not adequately describe the challenge,” Schuster said.

    While a ship’s bow is designed to cut through waves, the stern is not, meaning wave action lifts and drops the stern with each trough, he said.

    When the stern rises, rudders lose bite in the water, making steering more difficult, Schuster said.

    And losing the front portion of the ship changes the ship’s center of maneuverability, or its “pivot point,” he said.

    “That affects how the ship responds to sea and wind effects and changes the ship’s response to rudder and propellor actions,” he said.

    The New Orleans’ officers would have had to learn – on the go – a whole new set of actions and commands to keep it stable and moving in the right direction, he said.

    The ingenuity and adaptiveness that saved the New Orleans at the Battle of Tassafaronga enabled it to be a force later in the war.
