儿子上星期又一次到校长办公室。是因为太挑皮。话多，坏点子多，带着同学一起讲笑话，不听老师的话。。。
分系他的行为真怕他有些轻微的ADHD ?

Seven Stages of Spiritual Development - From Thomas' school Chaplain
Someone shared the following stages of spiritual development with me, and I'd like to challenge you to read and ponder each one.
1. There is no room for sloppiness or laziness in any area of our Christian life. Hebrews 6:12 reminds us not to become lazy but to imitate those who through faith and patience, inherit what has been promised.
2. The most essential form of knowledge for the Christian life is the knowledge of God's will as revealed in the Scripture. Jesus commands us to seek first His Kingdom and all other things will be added.
3. We must discipline our emotions, our attitudes, our appetites and our thoughts. Discipline must govern our actions and most importantly, our reactions. Matthew 5:44 says "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."Second Peter 1:4-8 provides the basis for our stages of development. "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
4. Develop perseverance which is the ability to overcome various tests and trials that will inevitably expose any weak, undisciplined areas of our personality.
5. Put on godliness which is the mark of a person whose life is centered in God - a vessel to be used by God.
6. Develop brotherly kindness - the way we relate to each other as fellow believers and disciples of Jesus.
7. Put on agape love - the fully ripe fruit of the Christian Character--God's own kind of Love--given to us through the power and blessing of the Holy Spirit.

鸿
最后一次分手是十八年前在成都火车站。昨天夜里梦见了他。这么多年一直不去多想他。也许是最近‘失踪’多年的大学同窗老K的突然出现脑袋里总是呈现那时的情景。
和鸿同窗四载，我们共读张爱玲，席慕容的作品。同爱激昂的交响乐。共同创作梦想中的中篇小说处女作。享尽了奢侈的京城校园文化。其中也不乏青涩的谜惑和失意。
鸿，你如今过的还好吗？为什么始终没有你的音讯？
很珍惜那几年的时光，即使过去的不如意也变成今天美好的回忆。

Naughty ? Funny ? Bored ?
Today Thomas got pulling card in the class, here is what his teacher written : putting glue onto his nose.
I asked me what happened and he told me that he was bored and wanted to glue himself onto paper.
I didn't let him know that I couldn't help laughing when I saw his little dirty nose after he came home.

First Time Rectal
Last night Thomas went to a piano rectal at Steinway hall in Plano. This is the first time for him and he played 'Ode to Joy' and went very well. He was calm and very concentrate and without a bit of mistakes.
After that he told that he thought it should be a big stage and a crowd of audience. I told him that it would be a big stage with crowded audience some day if he keeps playing.

Joy To The World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
"I bring you good tidings of great Joy " - Luke 2:10

喜欢音乐
和我们一样儿子也喜爱音乐。今天在Starbucks随手买了一盘Charlie Brown 的圣诞节的CD。有两首他反复听：Linux and Lucy; For Alice. 听得也非常专注，竟想试着弹出这些曲目，借此机会告诉他只要坚持练，有一天你也会弹出这些美丽的曲子。他听了很是兴奋。

Indoor Soccer
Thomas' normal soccer season was over and I signed him up indoor soccer from Blue Sky Soccer Club for winter season. Today is the first game. His team is Titans with blue shinny jersey.
He played really good and you heard everybody shouted his name during the game and he was one of great players in his team. I am so proud of him.
After the game he told me that indoor soccer was different and he likes it.

Nutcracker In Majestic Theater
Saturday we went to Majestic Theater to see Nutcracker performed by Moscow ballet's Great Russian.
It was great show and I'm surprised that Thomas had sit there for almost 2 hours and enjoyed it. Last time he's seen Nutcracker was last year at his school and he loved it. This is also the first he has seen ballet performance at real theater.
After the show he told about the parts he likes most and the parts he doesn't like and has lots of opinion.

Grandparents' Day
Today is the grandparents' day in Thomas' school. Every year this time school will hold this event and some of the grandparents even fly from other part of the country.
Since Thomas' grandparents are out of the states I was there today for him and he was so happy and behaved mostly of the time.
The whole event was so great and kindergartners performed several songs. That's awesome.
I really wish my parents were there for Thomas.

人生闲谈
看了一些文章，也想说说人生的意义。
人生在我看来不一定要轰轰烈烈。一首歌写的好：平平淡淡才是真。我们的成长背景是很难培养出甘愿‘平庸’而又能享受所谓‘世俗幸福’的人群。我们的教育多是使人清高，傲骨，出于泥而不染，也有些自命不凡。这也是以前的我。
认识神之后，逐渐改变了我的这种心态。我们人面对这无尽的浩瀚宇宙是多么得无知和渺小，是神博大的爱和神奇的创造才有我们的一切。我们时刻被无知和罪恶所包围，被无尽的私欲和争斗所窒息。我们被明利和物质所困惑。我们已拥有了许多但并不真正快乐。因为我们没有神，我们的灵魂没有归宿。
我们人的大多数是平凡的俗人，享受的应改是世俗的幸福。能把这锁碎的人生，点点滴滴的，有滋有味的‘活’出来也是一件不简单的事。如果能在这‘平庸’中品出其中的喜乐，人生也是充实而有意义的。而这样不简单的生活动力的源泉只有来自上天的父。-“耶和华是我们的道，是我们前行的灯。”

Beethoven Symphony No.5
Surprisingly Thomas can recite the first several notes of Beethoven Symphony. No.5.
He told me that he listened it from the movie.
And he was trying to play it by memories last night. I realized that I should encourage him to learn playing piano but sometime it's hard for me and one thing is how to keep him sit still for a couple of minutes without getting him upset.

Wonderful Time Of The Year Again
Feel the holiday is coming. Radio station started to play all Christmas songs again. I always think Christmas songs are the most beautiful songs in the world. I've been wondering why. No doubt that everything comes from Heavenly Father is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Thomas always loves to sing Christmas songs. He can name lots of them preciously.

Harvest Hoe Down Dance
Thomas' school has this event every year this time and they dressed up like cowboys and cowgirls and kindergartens danced 'Cotton-Eyed Joe' in the gym.
Thomas with his partner , also his play buddy Sean were so funny in the dance field. They're holding arms and dancing around circles. They both fell down the floor several times and laughing.

转载一篇读的文章
Jackie 一阵不换工作就觉得无聊，劝她也无用，看看这篇写的我同意：
“每个在职场上的朋友，不论是搞技术、做学问、搞管理，时间长了，大概都会有点厌倦，觉得朝九晚五、千篇一律的生活没有什么挑战性。于是呢，就会想着跳槽，换了新工作、涨了工资，是会爽一阵，但迟早又会陷入原有的循环之中。我个人的感觉是，要学会在现有的工作中寻找乐趣，才能真正感受到工作的乐趣。工作不仅是一张支票而已，工作是生活的一部分。曾听到有人说：“我啊，是上班一条虫，下班一条龙”。我是不同意这种心态的，如果这样，生活的三分之一是在熬时间，岂不是太对不住自己了？对我来说，带着好心情去上班，是一个基本点。每天早晨，梳洗完毕，身上是洁净清新的感觉。穿戴完毕，出门之前，我总会在门厅的落地镜前“孤芳自赏”一下，给自己一个微笑，心情一下就明亮起来。
说到穿戴，各个公司的dress code不同，各人的着装风格也迥异，但大方得体是职场的不二原则吧。如果穿衬衫、套装，还是Dry Clean为好，每周小小的一笔投资，可以省去很多自己洗熨的时间，而且整整齐齐的真的很“提气” 。好心情当然不止于外表整齐啦，在一天的繁忙琐事中，“提”起来的气也很容易被“泄”掉。我的一个应对之招是“换位思考”。比如开会，是很烦人的事，但我把它们当作提高英文的好机会，别人发言时，我就想，如果是我，我该如何表述，有时感到别人的用词或语气更好，我就悄悄记在心里，也算是学习吧。有时不是自己主持会议，我就在心里演练，想如果我是主持该如何掌握节奏，这样也就不感到枯燥了。不让压力影响心情，也是很重要的一点。记得我以前有一件广告衫，上面印着“压力之下，毫无惧色” 。我也有连续加班、疲惫得腰酸背痛的时候；也有和老板同事争执、或遇到不公正对待而暗自垂泪的时候。这时我就想，压力是外在的、不可控制的，心情是我自己的，退一步海阔天空嘛。这么一“阿Ｑ” ，压力也就随风而逝了。我保持好心情的另一个办法是在工作中交朋友。当你在工作场所有了朋友，公司就不仅仅是一个埋头干事的地方了，而真正成为日常生活的一个延伸。我是恋旧的人，不常换工作，在一个地方久了，和同事就熟了。自然而然就有了不同的朋友圈子，有一同吃午饭的伙伴、有一起打球的球友、有Happy Hour喝一杯的酒友。有了这些朋友，上班就不单纯是工作上的枯燥事务了，而有了其他的色彩。
保持好心情的最后一个绝招是“拿着鸡毛当令箭” （笑）。很多聪明人往往因为太聪明而感到工作没有什么挑战性。常听到有些朋友抱怨：这点小事还值得这么费劲，给我一小时就做好了。但公司里（特别是大公司）往往是要team work，所以把小事当大事来做，是很重要的。做Project Plan、开会、follow up，反正“拿着鸡毛当令箭”就对了，这样自己高高兴兴地把工作做了，还体现了professional的精神，何乐而不为呢？
让我们都带着好心情去上班吧！”
