The Tragedy of “Almost”
“For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?” Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.” The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.” (Acts 26:26-30 WEB)
The passage above records a very tragic moment. King Agrippa was on the verge of believing in Jesus as Lord, but he hardened his heart and stood up, rejecting the free gift of eternal life.
His actions are essentially saying this, “Stop it. I don’t want to hear anymore. I refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.”
Other translations render Agrippa’s words like this:
“Then Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time [and with so little effort] you [almost] persuade me to become a Christian.”” (Acts 26:28 AMP)
The word “almost” is the great tragedy.
It is like coming so close to the finish line in a race but fainting and being disqualified when you are just a hair’s breadth away.
Hell contains many souls who are “almosts”.
“I should have responded when that preacher asked for us to place our faith in Jesus. Why did I harden my heart? I almost got saved, but now it is too late...”
“Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my deeds for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’ as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”” (Hebrews 3:7-11 WEB)
It is possible to know with the mind that Jesus is the Son of God and everything that He claims to be, and yet not be saved.
A person has to believe and confess Him as Lord. If you just believe that He is the Son of God but don’t receive Him as Lord, you are not saved.
Even the demons believe that God is real, but they don’t submit to Him as Lord.
The Holy Spirit convicts the hearts of unbelievers about their sinfulness and woos them to receive Jesus Christ as Lord. But they can choose to reject it. Every individual must choose to accept or reject the gift of eternal life.
Yet, it is God’s will for all to hear the Gospel and to be saved. No matter how dark someone’s past is, he can freely receive forgiveness of sins when he places his faith in Jesus as Lord!
If you are already a born-again believer, through faith in Jesus, you have entered God’s rest—the rest of your conscience and also rest from works-based justification.
You are a saint who is already sanctified, justified, saved, holy, righteous, pure, and blameless. The next time you read these words in the Bible, don’t feel condemned or shrink away. These words describe who you already are in Christ.
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians 2:8-10 NKJV)
Dear brethren, you are not an “almost”. You are complete in Christ.
Let someone know the Gospel so that they are not almost, but fully saved through faith in Jesus Christ!

「cheat day life」的推薦目錄:
cheat day life 在 Facebook 的最佳解答
日本零食團購+花蓮有機蔬菜箱
最近在看「GENIUS LIFE万全な体調で生き抜く力」,書中寫到一件很悲傷的事:「對現代人而言,攝取脂肪的主要來源依然是動物性食品,但今日家畜和祖先們當年打獵獵物相比早就失去了營養價值,現在的牛和以前的牛說是完全不同種類的動物都不為過」
我懷疑此刻在超市花昂貴費用購入的有機食材,營養及安全價值可能都比不上五十年前我們父母在市場隨手買的菜😔
說到底,以前的環境是怎麼也回不來了,唯一還能找回的只剩下「氣氛」
「ミレービスケット」小圓餅幾個月前從日本飛來邁阿密我家,它包裝上自介是這麼寫的:「まじめなおかし」(是認真的餅乾)這口氣有夠像聯誼場合裡沒聊幾句就宣告自己是以結婚為前提在認真尋找對象的男人一樣。
「認真」一詞放在人、放在工作態度上算是個好形容詞,但認真的餅乾是怎麼回事🤔上網搜尋之後才發現有以下時代背景。
「高知縣無人不知的小圓餅是野村煎豆店從昭和30年(西元1955年)開始生產的產品,當時因為日本準備進入高度經濟成長期(大人忙打拼的年代容易忽略家中小孩)衍生出不少青少年問題。比如少年自殺、離家出走、學生紛爭等各種現象開始浮上檯面。同時,大眾對於食品業的信任開始崩解,像是轟動世間的森永牛奶砷中毒事件、牛肉食品罐頭偽造(標示為牛肉罐頭其實內容是鯨魚肉)這種情境(商人說謊且小孩不乖)野村煎豆店宣示了他們會以誠信為原則、會以最嚴謹態度製造出大人小孩都愛,能夠凝聚家族力小圓餅為己任的決心」(參照翻譯自share view專欄)
昭和30年出生的「認真餅乾」在過了六十六年的此刻依然深受世間愛戴,而且他們強調風味也是昭和年代起就未曾改變的。
但昭和年代風味究竟是什麼風味?
我覺得是瞬間能帶你回到童年時光,是小時候才有的味道😋
也是曾經身為哈日族的我們想沉浸在昭和餘韻時,可以拿來配電影「Always 三丁目の夕日」(永遠的三丁目夕陽)配尾崎豊音樂一起享用的餅乾。
當然,小圓餅口味就如包裝文案,不管爺爺奶奶或爸爸媽媽,還有小朋友都能滿意。說是能凝聚家族力,全家一起吃的餅乾一點都不為過。
本來吃完一兩包也只是停在「令人懷念的口感」,可當我逛超市時才發現留下時代痕跡的小圓餅還真是無可取代。即使美國有機超市裡充滿各種健康美味零食,但沒有任何一項可以接近小圓餅口感、也沒有任何一款零食能讓你心中喚起過去,我想這就是小圓餅的最大價值❤️
終究大家吃的不是零食,而是懷舊感啊。
吃起來如何:脆度很適中,是爺爺奶奶吃不會嫌硬、年輕人吃不會嫌鬆軟的脆度。甜甜鹹鹹,基本上沒辦法停在一小包。估計你開了一小包後會想接著吃第二包。
#其他日本零食
杏仁小魚乾、薯條三兄弟(這次薯條三兄弟難得現身)以及麝香葡萄果凍感覺不用我寫,大家估計都比我更熟悉。
#送禮自用兩相宜的台灣木子果舖水果乾
木子果舖是來自台南玉井的品牌,要是還在上班族年代遇見它我就不用煩惱每次台灣出差要帶什麼伴手禮回日本了。怎麼說台灣都是水果王國,水果乾肯定會受日本人喜愛。台灣木子果舖果乾我個人覺得最大優點是不會過甜!它有大片的無糖芒果乾(甜度靠芒果本身甜度)也有稍甜的芒果青乾(這吃起來就是酸甜情人果,我自己很愛)另外單純個人喜好,我覺得芭樂乾也好好吃
以上各產品不論再怎麼美味都還是歸類在零食(我的健身教練說每週可以有一天Cheat Day,吃讓自己開心的食物零食)換句話說大家購買也請衡量狀況,吃個爽吃個開心就好,不要過量。
#花蓮有機蔬菜箱
因為蔬菜箱已登場過幾次,我就直接寫重點。
花蓮蔬菜的有機不單是農作物不使用農藥,而是從土地開始就嚴格執行非用藥的有機政策。對!都是從未使用過農藥的土地💪🏻
種植農作物的環境經常可以見到動物,比如猴子和山豬會帶家人來試吃。若農作物要驅蟲也是直接派雞來吃蟲,一切再天然不過。
最後我要再把「GENIUS LIFE」拿出來講一下,這本書主要是在聊現代生活中哪些食物以及日常用品可能傷害大腦可能讓身體發炎,導致人們罹癌或得到阿茲海默症等,其中作者關於有機食物的論述很值得參考。
「現代農業不管是使用的化學肥料、灌溉法到基因改造全是為了滿足大量生產的需求。遺憾的是德州大學將1950年到1999年的43種類蔬菜做過比較,研究發現和50年相比,1999年蔬菜內的養分確實下降了許多。換句話說現在這個年代要攝取營養,可以的話還是盡量選擇有機產品吧。
選購有機產品時需要考量荷包,那我(作者Max Lugavere)建議不會連皮吃的蔬果,比如酪梨、柑橘類沒有必要非買有機,但莓類水果、綠色蔬菜、蘋果番茄及菇類等還是盡量選擇有機產品較好」

Hi friends, how’s your weekend?

I came across this art work from the lovely illustrator 🌜 yoga teacher]
It feels like what we are going through presently in 🇲🇾
Despite our best intentions, the struggle can be real!

Just sharing some basic ways to cultivate ONE or little by little everyday #selfcarematters
.
1. Nourishment
Eating and drinking what you need, cheat day included.
.
2. Physical activity
Yoga and/or any other type of workout, new/existing hobbies.
.
3. Spiritual Practice
Yoga, Meditation - any forms, Breath work, Time with Nature.
.
4. Attitude
Always develop a sense of Gratitude.
Appreciate life - check in with family and/or friends.
Eg. Play/improvise secret Santa with dessert - Good one @jason_cmh82 😝
.
5. Work / Life Balance
This is tricky for some who work from home but do able.
Lifestyle, not all work and no play, go around the above 1 - 4.
.
This list is non exhaustive - share in comments.
But first take care of yourself, then you can support others.
In a plane, always put your own oxygen mask on first before you help others.
Let me know how can I help.
.
Rest well for today, and Happy New Week ! #resilience Blessings, Grace

Posted @withregram • illustrator 🌜 yoga teacher]
This is an illustration from my Pandemic book, and how I feel about 2020 + been burned out more over this last year and a half than not.
And had to let so much go because of it 😴 I've only had the capacity to do the things that are really important 😩
The realization that I haven't taken any time off since January 2020 led me to carve out two weeks in August to take off for myself 🔋🔋🔋hope you're taking care of your energy too 😴😁✨

⚠️ 歌詞可開啟CC字幕
活出精彩 Have Good Life!
向那過往 Say Good Bye!
聽他開饒 是種生活依賴!
2020今夏最新單曲👉《 Good Life 》👈
和愛我的人跟我愛的人在一起,做大家喜歡的事情,那個當下就是Good Life!
年僅20歲的他,觀察著視角如實反映在創作,「現在到處都充滿爭執誤會,人人都開啟放大鏡模式。但每個人的心理總會對 Good Life 有所畫面」,依舊樂觀看待這個世界:「雖然2020到現在發生了許多無法接受的遺憾,但一切都會因改變而改變,一起為Good Life而努力。」
寫歌的情緒左右了歌的形狀,艾文坦言創作這首歌當下的心情其實是低落的,人與人的溝通沒想像中簡單,有些事情試著去溝通反而會讓自己擁有更多麻煩,他於是產生體悟「檢討自己發生的錯誤,讓自己變成更好的人。」
學會與自己的低潮黑夜作伴,艾文表示,對過往有些回憶還是存在腦中的,也因為往往我們低落時就會不由自主想起,所以對我來說這是幫助我往前變更好的動力,他透過這首歌鼓舞自己、也勉勵聽歌的樂迷:「為我想要過的生活而努力,雖然路上可能遇到很多困難,但保持初衷撐過去,更努力!希望我們都可以越來越好Have a Good Life。」

Radio正播放我舊的歌的Beats
腦海浮現的卻不是熟悉的Melody
閉上雙眼在腦裡出現的Skyline
It Makes Me Feel My Life Is Good
My Family My Homies My Everything
都將成為故事寫在每段歌詞裡
每篇訊息 一字一句 不斷傳遞
Stay With You Whole Night
That’s What I Like 那時夢還在
但時間過得快 如今都已不在
硬要擠出微笑 面對各種試煉
But I Just Wanna Have A Good Day
只專注前方視線
What A Old Good Time We Had
But There’s No Turning Back
Let’s Keep Grinding Always

祈禱著幸運之神降臨 總在為了什麼事情低頭
或許沒有好的人際關係 鬆開你被綑綁住的手
你或許還在尋找自己 你找尋問題將被代替
或許總在半夜驚醒夢裡的不安你醒來還是猜不透
The World Is Changing 都在變
I’m Missing Good Old Days(And Saturday)
Our Life Don’t Last Forever For Real
Nothing Is Guaranteed Life Is A Crazy Ride
Make It A Little More Easy
