Favourite Outlet Shops in Hong Kong


UNO OUN 常去。这家店是连锁店,在尖沙嘴,湾仔,铜锣湾都有店。很便宜,有些外贸衣是次品。美单的裤子,如J Crew, Liz Claiborne,Chico's, New York & Co等等。Chico's的全棉九分裤,薄薄柔软的料子,型很好,她特别喜欢,才29港币。Chico's在美国是中高档的中年妇女品牌。Chico's要碰才有,但Liz Claiborne和New York & Co在这里经常能看到

Nice Surprise to find out the shops

Coping for Unexpected Fall

約伯記 

38: 36 誰將智慧放在懷中、誰將聰明賜於心內。

42: 1-6
約伯回答耶和華說、我知道你萬事都能作、你的旨意不能攔阻。誰用無知的言語、使你的旨意隱藏呢。我所說的、是我不明白的.這些事太奇妙、是我不知道的。 求你聽我、我要說話.我問你、求你指示我。我從前風聞有你、現在親眼看見你。

 因此我厭惡自己、〔自己或作我的言語〕在塵土和爐灰中懊悔。

1: 20-21
約 伯 便 起 來 , 撕 裂 外 袍 , 剃 了 頭 , 伏 在 地 上 下 拜 ,說 : 「 我 赤 身 出 於 母 胎 , 也 必 赤 身 歸 回 ; 賞 賜 的 是 耶 和 華 , 收 取 的 也 是 耶 和 華 。 耶 和 華 的 名 是 應 當 稱 頌 的 。 」  在 這 一 切 的 事 上 約 伯 並 不 犯 罪 , 也 不 以   神 為 愚 妄 ( 或 譯 : 也 不 妄 評   神 ) 。

Hay Day Bible Verses - Blessed the Lord Neighborhood

Lammiu is a co-leader in the Blessed the Lord neighbourhood to minister farmers.

(Habakkuk 3:17-19)
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.  The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.

(Isaiah 43:19-20)
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.  The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.

A New Christian Clan - GodsNotDead

Since GodsnotDead clan is now full, me (lammiu), 2 co-leaders (Jennifer and Charlie) together with 9 clan mates have just started a new GodsNotDead clan.  We have our second clan now with 46 people.  A youth pastor, Adam, also joined to help minister to clan mates.  Our 2 clans are now united one in God.  I have created a second account, XformerLam, to become a co-leader in the original clan to help facilitate clan-to-clan communication and strengthen clan leadership.  Since 12 of us left to create the sister clan, the original clan is weakened.  I am in the process of restoring it to the original glory through clearing the Inactives.

Good timing to start a new clan when you have 5 committed clan mates that shared your vision for the clan and good troops:
  • Town hall 8
  • Level 5 Archer
  • hog rider
  • Healer
  • dragon

(Roman 14:17)
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

We all just went from a big clan to a smaller clan.  Everybody needs time to adjust to the new clan.  It is a lot quieter now.  But also less free loader and inactives.  All 10 clan mates are cream of the crop, best of the best clan mates.

We all gain experience in building the new clans, together we conquered a few obstacles for the new clan:

- Clan wars requirement a minimal of 10 people
- Clan wars goes by the multiple of 5 e.g. 10, 15, 20… so a few of us at the lower end of the trophy level may not make it into the clan war.
- Even people join our clan, if their war map castles are still with the last clan, there will be waiting time e.g. a day or so to transfer to the new clan before they are available for war.

Bible verses for Clash of Clans

We have 3 GodsNotDead clans now.  Since our 2 clans are close to full, me and 2 co-leaders started a new Christian clan with 7 members.   Our trophy requirement is 1000.  You are invited to join.


Defend your base:

"But I will defend my house against marauding forces. Never again will an oppressor overrun my people, for now I am keeping watch.  (Zechariah 9: 8)

Upgrading Townhall 8 takes 8 days:

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?
For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish."  (Luke 14: 28-30)

Farming/Get rid of troops from the opponent's castle:

Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai (opponent clan), his people, his city and his land.
You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder (Gold) and livestock (Elixir) for yourselves. Set an ambush (troops) behind the city (castle)."
(Joshua 8:1-2)

Use a lone giants to draw out the castle troops/Bar King and ambush them with archers, minions, etc..


Too many inactives will cause the clan to lose clan wars:

For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure.
(Proverb 11: 14)

Attacking a snake trap in clan war from the head:

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."


Put our hope in God instead of your stored elixir and gold because they will be raid no matter how much defense you have in your base:

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. (1 Timothy 6: 17)

Be generous and donate 25,000 troops to friends in need, you will get 250 gems in heaven that cannot be raid:

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
(1 Timothy 6: 18-19)


I have spent all my resources in upgrades.  No longer need to worry about being raid and no need shield.

(Proverb 13:8)
A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat.

Each war we lose to a strong opponent, we gain in experience, become stronger and more ready for next clan war.

(James 1:2-4)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Our walls are getting stronger everyday from stone, gold, crystal… My 7 day second account is now in silver and Dillon's 2 day account is now bronze I.
(Deuteronomy 33:25)
The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days.


Tough decision on clearing the inactives and free loaders in order to keep the good clan mates.
(Luke 6:43-45)
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

Devotion Notes from Kam Leung 傳道 (April, 2014)


April 5

若有人自以為虔誠,卻不勒住他的舌頭,反欺哄自己的心,這人的虔誠是虛的。」雅各書1:26 一個人被稱許有敬虔的心,就是當信仰與行為互相對照的時候,最美妙之處是言行將 神的話盡現眼前。雅各卻指出有人自說自話,不但欺騙身旁的人如何忠誠愛主,又愛人如己,更連自己的心也被蒙蔽,因為口說的話也禁不住,胡言亂語,全是虛妄。我們確確實實面對自己時,常常要有儆醒的心,信道而行道的敬虔表現,是從別人的眼,他人的心一一被驗證,見證信心與行為---敬虔!Amen!

April 4

「只是要你們要行道,不要單單聽道,自己欺哄自己。」雅各書1:22 信心要有行為才能驗證這樣身體力行活出信仰最實在的一面,因為耳聽萬事,也可以忘得清光;能行出所信所持守的一點點,足以見證 神話語的影響力。雅各就此分享,不可自己偽裝所信所認識多而又多,反倒要聆聽吸收主的話,就當照著行道,你已是一位成功的信心毅行者。相信對於我們用生命演活所信所愛的 神,是最有力的見證。盼望我們同心同行,一起在滿有挑戰的生活中榮耀 神!加油,同路人!

April 3

「卑微的弟兄升高,就該喜樂;富足的降卑,也該如此;因為他必要過去,如同草上的花一樣。」雅各書1:9-10 雅各特別提及生命與信心原來有著很大大差別。生命擁有多少財富,若然不曉得謙卑自處,生命變得毫無益處;或是甘於在卑微的生活,卻能享受箇中無人能奪去的喜樂。要知道人生短促影照如野地的花,盛開與凋謝,都是總要過去的事實,但活出生命燦爛的一霎時刻,就是活出信心與行為最美的生命畫作!盼望我們在天路歷程的每處都留下佳美的腳縱!Amen!

April 2

「心懷二意的人,在他一切所行的路上,都沒有定見。」雅各書1:8 當憑信心仰望 神,一點也不疑惑。這是雅各首要勉勵的事情,因為不論對 神,還是對人,始終需要擁有一顆堅毅的信心。一個人心裡常常舉旗不定,在一件事情上所懷的意念多而又多,至終只是站在十字大道之中,根本不知那一個向度;雅各指此人實難從主的手中得著甚麼!?我們對主應當要投以百份百的信心,配以實踐的行動具體活出真信心,將生命影響生命的流動,傳遍我們四周。Amen!

April 1

「因為還有一點點時候,那要來的就來,並不遲延。」希伯來書10﹕37 寫希伯來書的人確實指出能堅持到底,定必得著主的應許。但在現實中守候時間比任何一種任務更艱澀,能夠速戰速決,那接連見到終結的局面是人所共想 ﹔要找緊賜應許者的指令,深信那時刻不會遲延,在邊走邊等候應許來臨,就是對 神百分百的信靠。我們能活出儆醒守候的信心,正是在現今世代一項值得花時間操練的任務,將忍耐轉化成活潑生命之道。加油,同路人﹗
