&lt;br /&gt;
Sebulan yang lalu, tepatnya Sep 28, 2012, saya ditanyai oleh pembina gereja saya apakah saya bersedia &amp;nbsp;dicalonkan menjadi pengurus pemuda untuk periode 2013-2014. Saya ingin langsung menjawab saya bersedia, tetapi begitu banyak pertanyaan yang muncul begitu pertanyaan itu ditanyakan: apakah saya mempunyai cukup waktu untuk melayani, apakah pelayanan yang saya ambil tidak terlalu banyak, apakah saya betul-betul dipanggil Tuhan untuk tugas ini, apakah saya mampu menangani tugas ini dengan baik jika saya menerimanya, apakah saya bisa mengerjakan tugas saya sepenuh hati saya tanpa ada perasaan bahwa ini adalah hal yang wajar saya terpilih jadi pengurus pemuda, dsb.&lt;br /&gt;
Begitu banyak pertanyaan yang muncul yang saya tidak yakin saya bisa menjawabnya. Menjawab iya adalah suatu hal yang mudah, tetapi melakukannya adalah hal yang sulit. Saya tidak yakin saya ingin menerimanya, tapi saya juga tidak yakin saya ingin menolaknya, karena jika ini adalah satu-satunya kesempatan untuk saya, sebaiknya saya memegangnya sebelum kesempatan ini terbang pergi menjauh.&lt;br /&gt;
Pada malam harinya, saya bertemu dengan pembina saya dan saya meminta waktu 2 hari untuk berpikir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pada hari Sabtu, Sep 29, 2012, sepupu saya bertunangan. Mama saya dan saya pergi ke salon untuk berdandan, di sana hairdresser-nya (yang merupakan teman mama saya) berkata bahwa mama saya ini hebat, karena dia sudah begitu sibuk, tetapi masih menyempatkan diri untuk mengajar bahasa Mandarin, dan juga pelayanan penterjemah di gereja. Mama saya kemudian berkata begini: Jikalau Tuhan masih mau memakai kita, dan jikalau kita masih ada kesempatan untuk melayani, kita harus memakainya. Kapan lagi kita bisa melayani Tuhan kalau bukan sekarang? Kita masih belum tahu ke depannya bakal dipanggil Tuhan atau tidak, tetapi kalau sekarang bisa, kenapa tidak sekarang? Kenapa harus menunggu lain kali untuk melayani? Kalau masih ada waktu, sebaiknya dipakai untuk melayani Tuhan.&lt;br /&gt;
Kata-kata inilah yang membuat saya yakin kalau saya harus menerima pelayanan kepengurusan pemuda. Begitu banyak pelayanan yang saya mau ikut terlibat, tetapi kesempatan belum datang juga. Tetapi waktu ditawari kepengurusan pemuda, jawaban itu langsung muncul di depan saya. Saya bersyukur mempunyai orang tua seperti mama saya dan saya bersyukur Tuhan memakai mama saya untuk menjawab pertanyaan yang saya gumulkan pada saat itu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sebulan telah lewat, dan saya pun terpilih jadi salah satu anggota pengurus pemuda 2013-2014. Saya bersyukur bisa mendapat kesempatan ini, dan saya berdoa semoga segala sesuatu yang saya lakukan di kemudian hari bisa menjadi berkat untuk orang lain.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/feeds/8461259282976556798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2012/10/kepengurusan-di-pemuda.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/8461259282976556798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/8461259282976556798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2012/10/kepengurusan-di-pemuda.html' title='Kepengurusan di Pemuda'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15111860164276700025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie4tXdynqTiIag2IpqOCzJoDQi87sLhME-AC-9JSQzIEUBniY-TNXicbZtcwsEELtnjnz2Ucd13e9fpK1Ac-WmbV6pa02bQ_lOqKP7O5jzxT24nsNyVQbkYICRL-mj9GK7ZltE3UHGaW8/s72-c/serving-god-wordle.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921345379302614681.post-7089242361022669485</id><published>2012-04-19T01:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-04-19T01:05:55.015-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Christian"/><title type='text'>Mengenal Tuhan</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sepupu saya kadang-kadang menginap di rumah saya, dan ketika dia menginap, kita pasti mengobrol sampai lebih dari tengah malam, bahkan terkadang sampai subuh...&amp;nbsp;Bercerita tentang masa lalu, berdebat tentang masa lalu, catching up dengan satu sama lain membuat kita berdua tidak terlalu memikirkan apakah akan mendapatkan waktu yang cukup untuk tidur atau tidak...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya sadar pada waktu saya mengobrol dengan sepupu atau teman-teman, semakin lama waktu yang dipakai, semakin seru cerita kita... Dan semakin lama kita bersama, semakin terasa kita dekat dengan mereka...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya cuma berharap perasaan yang sama terjadi pada saya&amp;nbsp;ketika saya membaca Firman Tuhan, dan bukan perasaan yang terburu-buru, karena dikejar waktu (apalagi kalau sudah terlambat bangun, dan harus masuk kantor...). Bahkan terkadang saya malah menunda untuk bersaat teduh dengan berpikir kalau hari masih panjang, kapan pun bisa dilakukan...&lt;br /&gt;
Bahkan kadang-kadang saya menjustify perlakuan saya dengan berkata bahwa mendingan saat teduh malam daripada tidak sama sekali...&lt;br /&gt;
Inilah kebiasaan yang paling sering terjadi, bukan hanya pada saya, tapi kebanyakan orang percaya pun seperti ini...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saya berdoa semoga hubungan saya dengan Tuhan bisa lebih dekat lagi, dan bisa mengenal Tuhan lebih dalam lagi, dan bukan hanya sekedar mengetahui siapa Tuhan itu, tanpa bersandar kepadaNya dalam segala segala hal...</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/feeds/7089242361022669485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2012/04/mengenal-tuhan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/7089242361022669485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/7089242361022669485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2012/04/mengenal-tuhan.html' title='Mengenal Tuhan'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15111860164276700025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2HNgwOHJ6fMYX_v7OPvtyta0qDWARBgk0Qo3ylqElK8b7qzLsruBoNgyHUTkbiivyxi1rWoHgcdbjZQqlWsDkjQsvSRE8bJP5SLKnIDFLZUKw6eJfZbb-ek0F1g1JuNSGXIAs1WYXjS4/s72-c/7f679775a58bdfde95dc821f20b758edaf24e0b1c85e667c6c702597483dc0d873645a573f3c3f57122215fd4877712c79ee13380ee40e8587ad29c7a636b9c3.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921345379302614681.post-4707464943345816966</id><published>2012-03-03T09:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-03T09:50:37.003-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Birth of Jesus"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Christian"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Philip Yancey"/><title type='text'>Birth: The Visited Planet</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKhNxBEO-CG7aoWCZKof92ngb7Fkkor7bTn6exzL7NNQZuuWVlnQyVxX1gwZb5J4a0MIYwoyNRihgyXpyUupk35_EjhiJAPRR2vdd5iTyAK9v8Yvi4g8xya1A8L9xcnke-uhcQfJk0pl0/s1600/jesus-birth.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKhNxBEO-CG7aoWCZKof92ngb7Fkkor7bTn6exzL7NNQZuuWVlnQyVxX1gwZb5J4a0MIYwoyNRihgyXpyUupk35_EjhiJAPRR2vdd5iTyAK9v8Yvi4g8xya1A8L9xcnke-uhcQfJk0pl0/s320/jesus-birth.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aku baru mulai membaca buku karangan Philip Yancey &quot;The Jesus I Never Knew&quot;, dan sang pengarang buku bertanya kepada dirinya sendiri: Jika Yesus lahir ke dunia ini untuk menyatakan TUHAN kepada kita, apa yang bisa kita pelajari tentang TUHAN melalui natal pertama itu?&lt;br /&gt;
1. Humble (Kerendahan hati)&lt;br /&gt;
TUHAN kita yang datang ke dunia ini bukan dilahirkan di tempat kerajaan, yang membutuhkan bodyguard ke manapun dia pergi, tetapi dia lahir di kadang binatang. Bahkan, yang menyambut dia bukan seluruh kerajaan, tetapi gembala di padang yang mempunyai reputasi sebagai orang yang tidak mempunyai tuhan. TUHAN memilih mereka untuk menyambut kelahiranNya di dunia ini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Approachable&lt;br /&gt;
Begitu banyak agama yang menekankan rasa &quot;takut&quot; sebagai perasaan untuk datang kepada Tuhan mereka. Tetapi Tuhan kita datang sebagai bayi ke dunia ini. Apakah yang lebih tidak menakutkan daripada seorang bayi yang baru lahir yang badannya dibalut dengan kain lampin?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Underdog&lt;br /&gt;
Kata ini sering digunakan pada orang yang sudah diperkirakan akan kalah dalam sebuah pertandingan atau korban dari ketidakadilan. Dalam hal ini, Tuhan kita lahir di dalam dunia tanpa kekayaan, autoritas, dan keadilan. Yesus juga menunjukkan kepedulianNya lebih kepada orang yang miskin, tidak mempunyai kuasa, dan orang yang ditekan oleh penguasa, dengan kata lain, underdog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Courageous&lt;br /&gt;
Diperlukan keberanian untuk mengesampingkan kekuatan dan kemuliaan untuk mengambil tempat sebagai manusia, tetapi Tuhan kita tetap datang ke dunia ini, dunia yang tidak tentu menerimanya dengan tangan terbuka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Di atas semua ini, kita juga tentu harus ingat bahwa TUHAN kita ada terlebih dahulu dari segala sesuatu dan segala sesuatu ada di dalam Dia (Kolose 1:17). Oleh karena itu, cerita tentang natal pertama ini tidaklah seperti cerita-cerita yang lain. Pencipat Alam semesta ini turun ke dalam dunia dan dilahirkan di dunia yang kecil ini.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/feeds/4707464943345816966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2012/03/birth-visited-planet.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/4707464943345816966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/4707464943345816966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2012/03/birth-visited-planet.html' title='Birth: The Visited Planet'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15111860164276700025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKhNxBEO-CG7aoWCZKof92ngb7Fkkor7bTn6exzL7NNQZuuWVlnQyVxX1gwZb5J4a0MIYwoyNRihgyXpyUupk35_EjhiJAPRR2vdd5iTyAK9v8Yvi4g8xya1A8L9xcnke-uhcQfJk0pl0/s72-c/jesus-birth.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921345379302614681.post-725253985107998908</id><published>2012-02-28T06:13:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-03T09:51:14.265-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Bible Exploring"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Christian"/><title type='text'>Bible Exploring</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Kemarin KPPZ mengadakan Bible Exploring Part II... Pada bagian I, pendeta saya menjelaskan bagaimana cara kita meng-explore Firman Tuhan, yaitu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;1. Perhatikan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;kata kerja&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;, contohnya: 2 Raja-Raja 5:20 &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;berpikirlah Gehazi, bujang Elisa, abdi Allah: &#39;Sesungguhnya tuanku terlalu menyegani Naaman, orang Aram ini, dengan tidak menerima persembahan yang dibawanya. Demi TUHAN yang hidup, sesungguhnya aku akan berlari mengejar dia dan akan menerima seesuatu dari padanya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;.&#39;&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Dalam ayat ini, yang perlu diperhatikan adalah kata &quot;berpikirlah&quot;, karena hanya dengan berpikir, Gehazi sudah membayangkan begitu banyak hal, dan akhirnya berkata tidak benar. Dia bahkan membawa nama TUHAN supaya bisa mendapatkan persembahan tersebut.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2. Perhatikan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;kata yang unik&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;, contohnya: Pada 2 Sam 6:7 &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Maka bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Uza, lalu Allah membunuh dia di sana karena keteledorannya itu; ia mati di sana dekat tabut Allah itu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Kata yang unik di sini adalah kata &quot;teledor&quot; karena kata itu biasa digunakan sehari-hari tetapi sangat jarang muncul dalam Alkitab.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;3. Perhatikan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;kata yang diulangi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;, e.g., dalam Yosua 1 kata &quot;Kuatkanlah dan teguhkanlah hatimu&quot; diulangi sebanyak 3 kali - yang menunjukkan bahwa hal ini juga penting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;4. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Karakter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt; dari &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;penulis atau tokoh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt; yang ada di dalamnya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Pada Part II ini, pendeta saya menambahkan dua hal lagi yaitu: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Grammatical dan analisa kata&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Begitu banyak hal yang tergabung dalam bagian grammatical, termasuk tenses, person, gender (khususnya dari bahasa asli yunani dan ibrani, ada 3 jenis gender: masculine, feminine, dan neutral), voices, etc...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Salah satu contoh yang diberikan adalah: Matius 6:5-6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;red&quot;&gt;Dan &lt;u&gt;apabila&lt;/u&gt; kamu berdoa, janganlah berdoa seperti orang munafik. Mereka suka mengucapkan doanya dengan berdiri&amp;nbsp;dalam rumah-rumah ibadat dan pada tikungan-tikungan jalan raya, supaya mereka dilihat orang. Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya mereka sudah mendapat upahnya.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;6&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;red&quot; style=&quot;color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Tetapi &lt;u&gt;jika&lt;/u&gt; engkau berdoa, masuklah ke dalam kamarmu, tutuplah pintu dan berdoalah kepada Bapamu&lt;sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;yang ada di tempat tersembunyi. Maka Bapamu yang melihat yang tersembunyi akan membalasnya kepadamu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Ternyata dalam bahasa Inggris, Matthew 6:5-6 goes like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;woj&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;And &lt;u&gt;when&lt;/u&gt; you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;woj&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;versenum&quot; id=&quot;en-NIV-23289&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold; vertical-align: text-top;&quot;&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;But &lt;u&gt;when&lt;/u&gt; you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;woj&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;woj&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Penggunaan kata &quot;apabila&quot; pada ayat 5 dan kata &quot;jika&quot; pada ayat 6 semestinya adalah kata yang sama jika dilihat dari bahasa Inggris (which is &quot;when&quot;, yang berarti &quot;ketika&quot;).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Ini adalah salah satu contoh yang sederhana yang bisa kita liat dari segi grammatical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Hal lain yang perlu diperhatikan dalam bible exploring yaitu analisa kata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Mari kita melihat Yohanes 3:16, &quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;Karena begitu besar kasih Allah akan dunia ini, sehingga Ia telah mengaruniakan Anak-Nya yang tunggal, supaya setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak binasa, melainkan beroleh hidup yang kekal.&lt;/span&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Dalam bagian ini, &quot;besar kasih Allah&quot; adalah selevel dengan &quot;mengaruniakan Anak-Nya yang tunggal&quot;; &quot;setiap orang yang percaya&quot; sama dengan &quot;dunia ini&quot;; &quot;tidak binasa&quot; sama dengan &quot;beroleh hidup yang kekal&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Jika kita menuliskan kembali bagian ini seperti Daud menuliskan Mazmurnya, maka akan terlihat seperti ini:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Kasih Allah yang besar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; mengaruniakan Anak-Nya yang tunggal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Beroleh hidup yang kekal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Setelah menuliskan kembali, akan terlihat jelas bahwa yang paling utama dari bagian ini adalah &quot;mengaruniakan Anak-Nya yang tunggal&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Oleh karena itu, ketika kita membaca Alkitab, lebih baik kita berfokus pada satu ayat, dan mengexplorenya lebih dalam lagi, daripada kita membaca banyak ayat tetapi tidak mengerti apa yang ingin disampaikan atau apa maksud ayat-ayat tersebut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;I have just started watching a new TV Series,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairly_Legal&quot;&gt;Fairly Legal&lt;/a&gt;. The basic story is about a woman named Kate. Her father was a lawyer, her husband is a lawyer, even her evil-stepmother is a lawyer.... She used to be a lawyer, but she&#39;d decided to become a mediator...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;She believes that every lawyer &quot;believe[s] in the letter of the law. It is absolute. It&#39;s always right.&quot; However, she believes that &quot;laws were made by people, and that people are often wrong.&quot; The most important thing for her is that &quot;the guilty paid a price, the innocent went free, and all was right with the world...&quot;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;I don&#39;t know that I would agree with her point of view or not, but people do make mistakes and we are sinners, and because of that Jesus came to the world to the paid the price (our price), so that we are free (even though we are not innocent), and all was right with the world... :)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I know that Vancouverites are also excited about it, and Vancouverites have their own way to support the team... The whole city even might turn into blue colour, especially now we are the Western Conference Winner.... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;(I really hope I am in Vancouver right now, enjoying the scenes.....)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Anyway, I am talking about watching the games, and I admit, it was pretty stressful when I watched the game, especially if it was game 7 and overtime (e.g., VS. Hawks)... I actually hoped that the player of the video (because I watch LIVE online) has a fast-forward bar, and I hoped that I can just skip the whole stressful part and just see the ending where we, of course, win the game... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Too bad, it could not happen... Fortunately, we did win the game...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;I feel the same way every time I watch a movie or a drama on my computer. This time, I do skip the part that I don&#39;t like to watch, and I watch the part that I like... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Life, however, cannot be fast-forwarded or rewinded... We cannot change our past, and we cannot fast-forward our lives either, where we only see the ending that we like, and do not see the ending that we do not like... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;That is why, we need to live our life fully, and live according to God&#39;s word. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;God has loved us, and He has given His only Son on our behalf to bring us back into relationship with Him. Therefore, let&#39;s &quot;... live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way...&quot; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%201:10&amp;amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Colossians 1:10&lt;/a&gt;). So, at the end, we know that we will live with God in the New Jerusalem, where &quot;nothing impure will ever enter [the city of New Jerusalem], nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names&quot;, our names, &quot;are written in the Lamb’s book of life&quot; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2021:27&amp;amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Revelation 21:27&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/feeds/244353900466175873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2011/05/fast-forward-button.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/244353900466175873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/244353900466175873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2011/05/fast-forward-button.html' title='Fast-forward button'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15111860164276700025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921345379302614681.post-7397977093737789669</id><published>2010-12-19T01:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-19T01:01:01.411-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lateness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="punctuality"/><title type='text'>Lateness and punctuality</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Lately, I have been thinking about lateness and punctuality..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At my church in Indonesia, tardiness for practicing is a common action to do... If you come late, then it is normal. But if you come on-time, then nobody is there to appreciate it, because everybody will be late...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I talked to my cousin, and we were telling stories how when we lived in Canada or Australia, we ought to come 10 minutes before the practice started, or at least, right at the arranged time...&lt;br /&gt;So, when my cousin moved back to Indonesia, and he came to practice 10 minutes before the practice started... Well, he found out that nobody was there...&lt;br /&gt;He then decided that he would just get to the church at the arranged time and when he did that, nobody was there too... So, he thought, what the heck, let&#39;s just come late, because everybody is late anyway... And there he was, changing his habits from being punctual to being late...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then you thought, why don&#39;t we just tell everybody to be on time?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;Well, when we try to make everybody punctual by criticizing someone when he/she is late, everybody else thought that it was not nice because we should not scold the person who is late, especially at the church setting because people serve voluntarily.... The next thing we need to do is apologize because we scold the person who is late...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;When this happens, the world turns upside down...

Many of the contestants, especially street dancers, thought that they hope they can impress Ashley, who has ever been in their position. However, Ashley still judged fairly. He did not let the contestants who cannot dance pass the audition easily, even though he knows what the contestants felt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yesterday (Dec 7, 2010), I read &lt;a href=&quot;http://odb.org/2010/12/07/little-things-3/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+odb/feed+(Our+Daily+Bread)&quot;&gt;Our Daily Bread&lt;/a&gt; that tells story about some medical students who got unique experience.

However, we usually skip the part where God &quot;rules the world with truth and grace.&quot; It is not only by grace, but it is alo with truth. We, as humans, like to forget this. Like the contestants of &quot;Got to Dance UK&quot; who hate the judges when the judges did not let them through to the next round --- even though the judges judged fairly --- , we hate God when he rules the world with truth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;We are happy when he comes, but we do not glorify his righteousness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;We sing Joy to the world, but we do not prepare our hearts for him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;Christmas is about someone, but it is not about Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;Christmas is about celebration, but it is not about celebration the birth of Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;Christmas is about presence, but it is not about the presence of Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;Rather, it has been about Santa Claus, celebration of the coming Christmas itself, the presence of presents, holidays, shoppings, christmas tree, christmas decoration, and christmas song.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;So, let&#39;s remind ourselves that it is about the birth of Jesus Christ and the reason why he came. He came to save us. We are the reason that He gave us his life, and we are the reason that he suffered and died. God, like the judges, judges human fairly. He understands that humans sin, and he understands that humans cannot help each other to erase their sin, because all of them are sinners. It took more than just mere humans to help them. However, he is not only just, but he is also gracious. That is why he, who is holy, came to earth and became human to cleanse our sins. He has done all of these because he loves us, the &quot;mere humans&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;Therefore, we need prepare our hearts, receive our King, and bring ourselves to be a proof of the glories of his righteousness at this upcoming Christmas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;“Glory to God in the highest heaven,&lt;br /&gt;and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” -- Luke 2:14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; &quot;&gt;-- Merry Christmas everyone!!! ---&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/feeds/1873999766064676773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2010/12/joy-to-world-lord-is-come.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/1873999766064676773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4921345379302614681/posts/default/1873999766064676773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sgautama.blogspot.com/2010/12/joy-to-world-lord-is-come.html' title='Joy to the world!
