Po Toi Island with French Alumni Association 28 Oct 2007

Click here for more photos!

16 people showed up and had a great time! Nice weather too!
Po Toi is southern-most island of Hong Kong, particularly noted for its massive, strange and fascinating rocks. We'll take the 11:30am ferry at Stanley; have lunch at Tai Wan after reaching Po Toi (and tasting its famous fish congee and seaweed soup would be a good idea). Besides visiting the Tin Hau Temple and the historical Mo's Old House巫氏廢宅, our adventurous journey would cover the Coffin Rock棺材石, Monk Rock, Buddha's Palm Cliff佛手巖and Rock Carving and the Tortoise Climbing up the Mountain 靈龜上山

Violet hill to Stanley


Though Irene and I cut short of the hike, we rejoined the group at Stanley for lunch :-)

Exalt Courage

By Robert H. Schuller

"By my God, I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect." -II Samuel 22:30,31

What is courage? Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is deciding to go ahead even when you're scared stiff.

If you make a decision where there's no risk involved, it does not require courage. If you are moving ahead and you know you cannot fail, that doesn't take any courage.

Do you want to stay where you are the rest of your life? God has bigger and better things for you and me, but we'll never advance 'til we take a chance. Taking a chance means you run the risk of possible failure, real hurt. Courage! Somebody said to me, "But some people have it and some people don't."

Courage isn't a gift. Courage is a decision. Courage is that scary emotion that motivates you to make the right decision. Courage is always a choice! Courage is something I can never lose. Because courage is something I can always choose. Courage is when you know it's what God wants you to do. I've got that courage, and I get it, frankly, from Jesus Christ. If you believe that God is alive, that He loves you, that He's forgiven you and that He has a plan for your life, automatically you have courage.

"Thank you, Lord, that you are giving me courage. You have called me to make daring decisions, to put my feet on a road, and only You know where that road will lead, only You know how far it will take me. Lord, touch me and let me know that the beginning of success is when I reach up and put my hand in Yours and decide to walk faithfully with You all through life. Amen
