修身、齊家、治國、平天下

爸爸的信～

漢高祖劉邦統一天下後﹐有人向他請教“治國﹑安邦﹑平天下”的方法。他回答說﹕文的方面﹐我有張良﹔武的方面﹐我有韓信。我只要鴐駑了他們﹐我就能管治好國家。經歷過磨煉﹐你們成熟了。努力吧﹗孩子們。

人生觀

牢騷太盛防腸斷，風物長宜放眼量。

莫道昆明池水淺，觀魚勝過富春江

大學畢業, 爸爸贈予. 時隔十年, 還在學習.

Bad father... horrible father...

Today... I officially forgot my own son's birthday.  Had to go back to Facebook to check when I posted his first pic.  I claim overtiredness.  Joyce wasn't very forgiving...

Dealin' with Death

Do you remember you first encounter with death?  Was it a close relative? A grandparent perhaps.  Or your pet goldfish.  Or maybe even the death of Jesus Christ?

We've been reading Nui-nui a Children's Bible for about a year now.  But recently.... Nui-nui has been enamored with the death of Goliath.  This story is so famous... that 9 out of 10 Christian Story Books will have some version of this story.  And every time we get to 'that page' with 'that image' of Goliath lying down... Nui-nui will instinctively point to him. 

As a parent, how do you introduce death to a 2 year old? Do you lie? Do you embellish? Or how about doing what I did....  "David took care of Goliath....and he's down."  No lie... no harm... no foul. 

How long can I keep this up?
