Paul Potts vs Susan Boyle

天份、天籟，令其貌不揚的二人榮登網站榜首。

樣子平凡，缺乏自信，唯一令他倆尋著自我的便是天籟般的聲音。

三年前，當走在台上，眾人都投以奇怪目光看向Paul，當Paul說出他只想唱歌劇時，評判們只是反著白眼。然而，當他開腔唱出巴伐洛堤的經典金曲時，大夥兒卻只有驚訝的份兒。

最後評判的反應是：

Piers: It was a complete breathe refresher. I thought you are absolutely fantastic.

Amanda: You have an incredible voice. If you keep singing like that, you are going to be one of the favourite winners to win the whole competition.

Simon: I think we've got a case, with a little lump of coal here that's going to turn as a diamond.

Paul Potts之後，又再出現另一夥彗星。

一位47歲、無業大嬸，她的出現，惹來眾人嘲笑。當Susan說出她以Elaine Paige為目標時，眾人都嗤之以鼻。當她說唱出舞台劇「孤星淚」的「I Dreamed a Dream」時，卻又再一次讓評判們另眼相看。

Piers: Without a doubt that was the biggest surprise I have had in three years of the show......that was stunning, an incredible performance.

Amanda: The biggest shock and wake up call ever. I just want to say that it was a complete privilege listening to that.

Simon: I knew the minute you walked out on that stage that we are going to hear something extraordinary, and I was right. You are a little tiger.

以貌取人，失之子羽。很期待他倆的演出。

Why Good Friday is GOOD?

I didn't think of this before, after reading this article, I really think it is so GOOD for Jesus died for us.

Why is Good Friday referred to as “good”? What the Jewish authorities and Romans did to Jesus was definitely not good (see Matthew chapters 26-27). However, the results of Christ’s death are very good! Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” First Peter 3:18 tells us, “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit.”

Thank you, our heavenly father.
