「我以後不敢编谎话欺骗老师了」
tq luilui!
星期一到了……小英在交完作业後，中午马 上被老师叫去罚站，附加念500遍「我以後不敢编谎话欺骗老师了」。
why？何这名老师要残忍的 对待这名柔弱的小学生？我们来瞧瞧她的作文是怎麽 写的……
星期日
今天是礼拜日，虽然昨天去海洋公园玩到晚上11:00多，可是今天我们起了个大早，就到海洋公园旁边的太平山去摘水果，因为奶奶跟爷爷就住在太平山。
我们到了太平山下後，就鞋子脱了开始爬山，大约1分 钟就到山顶了。山顶上的空气很好，爷爷带我们去他的果园。
哇 ……爷爷的果园好大，种了好多果树，有西瓜树、草莓树、菠萝树…… 因为我太小了爬不上树，爷爷就爬上西瓜树，摘了一颗最大的西瓜丢给爸爸，爸爸用一只手就接起来了！
果园还有很多长在地上的水果，像苹果、梨子、椰子等等……爷爷摘了一些椰子，用手把椰子皮剥掉，去籽，然後分给每个人吃。椰子好好吃喔！我吃了20几个。表弟还拿椰子丢我的 脸，痛死了！
吃完了水果大餐，我们到太平山旁边的喜玛拉雅山去玩，听老师说喜玛拉雅山是世界上最高的山。
果然老师没有骗我们，我跟表弟爬呀爬，大概爬了2分钟才到山顶，我热死了。
後来我们还是觉得很热，就到山顶泡温泉。好冰凉的温泉哦～喜玛拉雅山真是个好地方。
後来表弟问我有没有钱，他看到山顶附近有卖麦当劳。死表弟，每次都跟我借钱！
我们还在买的时候，听到妈妈在太平山那里喊我们回家，只好依依不舍的走了太平山跟喜玛拉雅山真是个好玩的地方，我以後还 要叫爸爸、妈妈带我们来玩。
爸爸说如果这次考试，我第一名，这个星期日，他还要带我去东京、北京、南京去玩，我最想去西京，因为我表妹就住在西京。
她说其实课本是骗人的，西京有比喜玛拉雅山更高的山，大概要爬3分钟，上面还有很大的夜市跟儿童乐园，还有清澈的小溪。
我一定要好好用功 然後叫爸爸带我去这些地方玩。

今天早上爸爸 带我们全家去动植物公园，沿路上蝉声一直吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱吱，叫个不停，感觉很舒服。

星期日
今天和妈妈去爬山，到了山顶，妈妈说安静的山间会有回音喔。
我和弟弟一起试着大叫━━「你好吗」
果然大约三秒之後就听到：
你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好 吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗 你好吗

话说老师对小英的偷懒式作文不能苟同，不再出游记式作文，想想如何激发小英作文潜能，便再出一道：《最难忘的一件事》
小英咬着铅笔作出努力思考样，终於下笔疾书，交出後自忖：老师应该不会再处罚我了，不禁面露傻笑。
-----------------------------------------------
上星期五放学回家时，在我家门前看见一沱大便，当时 我吃了一斤：「谁这麽缺德，在我家门前拉大便。」
赶快叫姊姊出来，姊姊看了也吃了一斤，破囗道：「真没公德心！这麽没水准！」姊姊叫我拿扫把一起扫掉。
妈妈知道後也出来看，同样也吃了一斤，叫道：「作孽喔！」
爸爸听到妈妈的叫声赶快出来看个究竟，也吃了一斤。「谁干的？」
邻居王妈妈刚买菜回来，看了也吃了一斤。王伯伯、王小明出来看也都吃了一斤，不一会儿聚集了十多人，大家都吃了一斤，最後打119，消防队员们在吃了一斤後总算把那沱大便给清除了，真是最难忘的一件事。

3 Trees
3 Trees
Once there were 3 trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the 1st tree said, "Someday, I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems and be decorated with intricate carvings. Everyone would see my beauty."
The 2nd tree said, "Someday, I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of other world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally, the 3rd tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time, and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. One came to the 1st tree and said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter," and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the 2nd tree, one of the other woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The 2nd tree was happy, because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the 3rd tree, the tree was frightened, because it knew that, if it cuts own, its dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree, so I'll take this one," and he cut it down.
When the 1st tree arrived at the carpenter's, he was made into a feed box for animals, placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.
The 2nd tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.
The 3rd tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark.
The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams. Then one filtered day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth, and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.
Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose, and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace," and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets, and the crowd mocked the man who was carrying it. The man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that, when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always the best.

What Lies Behind
What Lies Behind
Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar Genesis 22:9
Bound – There is a deep connection between the binding of Isaac and Yeshua. There is a deep connection between the sacrifice of father Abraham and the Father. There is a deep connection between the ram and the look behind. But that’s not quite all of it.
The pictographic representation of the word akod (to bind) is found in the three consonants Ayin-Qof-Daleth. That picture is “to see the open palm over the horizon,” or “to experience what opens behind.” In other words, the Hebrew idea of binding is not related to our concepts of forced submission and powerlessness. It is related to the purpose of the binding, not to the event. That purpose points us toward the future where we experience the grace of God’s open hand. To be bound is to be placed in the hand of God. It is to put my life into His care. Because binding is consensual submission, it must be based on the trust that God’s open palm will be seen in the future.
The pictograph of akar (behind, afterward) is “to see what is behind a person.” Coupled with the Hebrew idea of the future, this word perfectly describes the rowboat man. But now we know something else that is very important. The rowboat man is bound. The rowboat does not pick out any marker on the past shoreline to set his course. He is bound by invisible (usually) constraints that require him to pick only one set of markers. He sets his course by them because he allows himself to be bound by them. He consents to one path and only one path. In this way, akod and akar are “bound” together.
Do you get it? To travel toward the future with Messiah Yeshua is to be bound to a single pathway. That pathway is the one He gave us – to keep His commandments as He kept His Father’s commandments. There is only one way. It is the way of torah. To travel with Yeshua is to be bound to Him so that we might experience His open hand grace here and in the future.
Pay no attention to the world’s proclamation that all roads lead to God. They do not! Flee the seduction that there are many paths to righteousness. There is only one! Be cautious of all who would discard the clear commandments of God, no matter how “reasonable” their arguments seem. God’s way is not reasonable. Does the connection between akod and akar make sense? Does it really seem sane to think that the way to peace is to be bound? Do we really imagine that the marks of suffering are the badges of trust? No, God does not ask us to think our way into His plan. He asks us to obey!
What lies behind is God’s open palm, but you can’t get there by looking over your shoulder. You can only get there by climbing up on the altar and letting Father bind you. Then you will experience what is over the horizon, completely out of sight to all who refuse to let the ropes hold them down.

Bound – There is a deep connection between the binding of Isaac and Yeshua. There is a deep connection between the sacrifice of father Abraham and the Father. There is a deep connection between the ram and the look behind. But that’s not quite all of it.
The pictographic representation of the word akod (to bind) is found in the three consonants Ayin-Qof-Daleth. That picture is “to see the open palm over the horizon,” or “to experience what opens behind.” In other words, the Hebrew idea of binding is not related to our concepts of forced submission and powerlessness. It is related to the purpose of the binding, not to the event. That purpose points us toward the future where we experience the grace of God’s open hand. To be bound is to be placed in the hand of God. It is to put my life into His care. Because binding is consensual submission, it must be based on the trust that God’s open palm will be seen in the future.
The pictograph of akar (behind, afterward) is “to see what is behind a person.” Coupled with the Hebrew idea of the future, this word perfectly describes the rowboat man. But now we know something else that is very important. The rowboat man is bound. The rowboat does not pick out any marker on the past shoreline to set his course. He is bound by invisible (usually) constraints that require him to pick only one set of markers. He sets his course by them because he allows himself to be bound by them. He consents to one path and only one path. In this way, akod and akar are “bound” together.
Do you get it? To travel toward the future with Messiah Yeshua is to be bound to a single pathway. That pathway is the one He gave us – to keep His commandments as He kept His Father’s commandments. There is only one way. It is the way of torah. To travel with Yeshua is to be bound to Him so that we might experience His open hand grace here and in the future.
Pay no attention to the world’s proclamation that all roads lead to God. They do not! Flee the seduction that there are many paths to righteousness. There is only one! Be cautious of all who would discard the clear commandments of God, no matter how “reasonable” their arguments seem. God’s way is not reasonable. Does the connection between akod and akar make sense? Does it really seem sane to think that the way to peace is to be bound? Do we really imagine that the marks of suffering are the badges of trust? No, God does not ask us to think our way into His plan. He asks us to obey!
What lies behind is God’s open palm, but you can’t get there by looking over your shoulder. You can only get there by climbing up on the altar and letting Father bind you. Then you will experience what is over the horizon, completely out of sight to all who refuse to let the ropes hold them down.

Age of Consent
Age of Consent
Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar Genesis 22:9
Bound – According to Jewish tradition, Isaac was a young man of marriageable age (approximately 36) when his father Abraham took him to be sacrificed. Erase the idea of Isaac as the innocent and helpless child. At age thirty-six, Isaac could have easily overpowered his one-hundred year-old father. He did not do so. He consented to be bound. He obeyed in spite of the fact that his death was clearly imminent. In this story we have a foreshadowing of the great sacrifice of Yeshua who also consented to the will of His Father and was bound to the cross for our sins.
But there is even more here than this great foretelling of God’s ultimate gift. You see, the word for bound is akod. It describes wrapping in order to secure. The Jewish rabbinical scholar Rashi says that this word refers to the ring-like marks that are left behind as an indication of the binding. In other words, even after the ropes have been removed, the signs of akod still remain. The forensic evidence of submission leaves its impression.
Have you ever thought about the fact that Yeshua retained the marks of His submission even in His resurrected body? Why was that necessary? If the resurrected body is the perfectly redeemed expression of the true nature of the human being, why weren’t those terrible reminders of the agony of the cross removed? Why wasn’t the body of the resurrected Messiah perfectly new? The answer, of course, is that these marks of akod are the eternal badges of His fulfilled mission. When you and I see Him, we will see the marks. They are reminders that He had to be bound in order for us to be freed.
Now this raises a question for us. What are your akod marks? What have you allowed the Father to bind so that you could be obedient to Him? I suspect that we each have these identifying badges of consent. They are uniquely ours. There is something that God pressed us about, some element of our human will that had to respond, “Not my will but yours be done.” My guess is that this act of obedience left a scar. Do not expect that scar to go away. It is the eternal reminder that you belong to the ones who consented to be sacrificed. This is not a scar that you got on the way to conversion. Those painful reminders of past sins will be washed into the forgiving sea. These new markings are the evidence of your post-conversion obedience. They will not be washed away.
That does not mean that they were not painful. It just means that they were worth it.
A follower of Yeshua who does not bear any marks of akod is either too weak to allow God’s gracious suffering or too foolish to see what suffering really is all about.

Cast Your Eyes Upon
Cast Your Eyes Upon
Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; Genesis 22:13
Behind – If you’re reading this verse in English, you may discover two curious things. The first is here in the NASB with the addition of the word “him.” The second curiosity is found in translations like the NIV where the word “behind” is simply left out of the translation. Both options should cause us to pause. Something strange is happening and the English translations are stumbling over it.
The Hebrew actually says, “and behold a ram behind” (vehine-ayil achar). The word behind is achar meaning “behind, after or afterwards.” In order to make sense of this word, English translations like the NASB add the assumed pronoun “him.” But the text doesn’t say that. It says the Abraham looked and saw a ram achar. In order to understand what is implied here, we need to know that the Hebrew concept of the future is tied to the idea of behind. Achariyt comes from the same root. It is about the last time, the end or the future. It paints a picture of a man in a rowboat with his destination behind him so that he cannot see where he is going but only where he has been. This is the Hebrew idea of the future. When Abraham looked up, he peered into the behind and saw a sacrificial ram. It’s possible that Abraham saw a ram behind him, but that is not what the text says. It says that he saw the afterward-ram. In other words, in the moment that the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham to stop the sacrifice of Isaac, Abraham was allowed to see something deep in the afterward, far in the behind, hidden in the future. Abraham saw the coming sacrifice provided by God, the ram that would act as God’s own provision on the altar. Abraham caught a glimpse of the future.
It’s disappointing that this special view is lost in English translations. In an effort to make the words compatible with English grammar, we obscure the depth of the Hebrew. No Hebrew word is an accident. Unless we stick to the text exactly as it is written, we miss what God has to say. But now you know. Now you know that Abraham’s sacrifice connects us directly to Yeshua. Perhaps you always saw the implication. Now you see something even more wonderful. The secret was hidden long ago in the very word that describes the ram.
Once in awhile God allows a man or woman to see what’s coming. The occasions are rare. There is a reason for this. Human beings are preoccupied with knowing the future. It is a form of idolatry. Why? Because the motivation behind wanting to know what will happen is the motivation to control our destiny and that is based in a desire to be God. The reason the future lies behind us is so that we learn to depend on what we already know; namely, the long history of God’s faithfulness with us clearly seen in the past. As we learn of His reliable care, we trust Him. We find contentment. We reject independence. We stop worrying about tomorrow. We become children of the man who, when he was ready to sacrifice all, looked behind and saw the God who provides.
