歌词:
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face, to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home... 阅读全帖 |

经文: 「但我断不以别的夸口，只夸我们主耶稣基督的十字架。因这十字架，就我而论
，世界已经钉在十字架上。就世界而论，我已经钉在十字上架上。」（加六14）
有一班信徒，他们本来是为自己活着的──他们有自己的盼望，有自己的梦想
；但是他们在祷告中求了一些他们自己所不明白的东西，主就开始成就他们的祷告。他
们求一个痛悔的心，愿意出任何代价去得到它，主就给他们悲哀；他们求圣洁，主就给
他们剧烈的痛苦；他们求谦和，主就打碎他们的心；他们求对着世界「死」，主就消灭
他们一切的盼望；他们求像主，主就放他们在炉中，「坐下如炼净银子的」（玛三3）
，直到他们反照出主的肖像来；他们求主的十字架，主就给他们十字架。
他们所求的，他们自己并不明白，但是主就照他们所求的允准他们。其实他们

Each eyed the other's aspect, she and he,
Each felt one hungering heart leap up and sink,
Each tasted bitterness which both must drink,

當摩西再次上山領受神所頒賜的法版時，因為神的本體就是榮光，所以摩西與神相

我們不敢正眼看太陽，因為那個光線太強了，如果你用眼睛去看，眼睛可能會受到

看的，所以這也是為什麼，當摩西想要看神時，神把他藏在磐石穴中，等神走過去後，
摩西才可以透過磐石來看神。

Lady Gaga上周为了14岁歌迷遭霸凌自杀，特地去参加总统奥巴马的募款餐会，为同性恋团体发声，当天未见白宫发布任何消息。不过奥巴马倒是在近日一场人权活动主动提起：“她穿着16寸（40厘米）高跟鞋，看起来有八尺（243厘米）高，颇具威胁性（其实还包括高耸的假发）。”
反欺凌同志Lady Gaga发声奥巴马
目前，排在Lady Gaga日程上最重要的事情是促进立法——以认定欺凌同性恋的行为为非法行为，她认为欺凌同性恋是一种仇恨的犯罪，应该给予那些伤害他人的人更严厉的惩罚。Lady Gaga立志实现这一目标——在上周她特意就此事与奥巴马进行了交谈。
CNN报道，Lady Gaga参加了奥巴马主持的一个慈善筹款宴会。宴会的门票高达3.58万美元，这个价格也没有改变Lady Gaga想见到奥巴马的决心。

There was no way to prepare for the eyes, the eyes that every day stared
with such entitlement at my body, with no change of expression whether I met
their gaze or not. Walking to the fruit seller's or the tailer's I got
stares so sharp that they sliced away bits of me piece by piece. I was
prepared for my actions to be taken as sex signals; I was not prepared to
understand that there were no sex signals, only women's bodies to be taken,
