潘曉輝見證 (1988 我在運動場協助執拾鐵餅，標槍插中了我的頭)

一九八八年，我在運動場協助執拾「鐵餅」，那時我正唸中一。當在蹲下來的時候，突然聽到右面有一把很悽厲的女聲，在我嘗試轉頭望過去時，我感覺到我的頭被一些東西撞上，接下來的景像十分恐怖，我發覺有一支東西在我頭?搖下搖下，那時我還不懂得害怕，直到我感到有些暖的液體流到面上，那時我還以為是被同學愚弄，向我擲暖水蛋，或是被雀鳥的糞便擊中，救援人員要鋸斷我頭上的標槍，才能弄我上救護車，但那時他們沒有電鋸，只有用人手鋸，在這過程中，標槍搖擺著，所以我頭上的洞可不小呢！我被標槍插中了，當時我躺在草地上，看著藍天白雲，臭著青草的氣味，就暈倒了。當我醒過來時，已經過了二十三天了，其中在心切治療病房住了十七天，在腦科病房住了幾天，那時我半身癱瘓，平常人慣常的動作我也不能做，當我的腳從床上放到地上時，我還是感到自己的半邊身躺在床上，我的身體就像分開了兩部份，那感覺十分難，我一醒過來，就有一隊醫護人員衝進來。

二、重新學習

那時我首先要重新學習講說話，過程十分困難，因此，你能夠講說話、聽到聲音和明白我所說的話，是應該感恩的，?M後要學的是「坐」，原來要坐好，你要用超過一百片骨頭和肌肉，再加上腦部的控制，在學習過程中，我多年滑倒在地上，於是醫護人員就用繩把我綁在椅子上，幫助我學習，那時我的記憶力、精神和身體狀況都不對勁，那時我面前身體的缺憾，十分絕望，事實上，我能夠全完康復的機會十分渺茫，我們現在可以在這?見面，算是奇蹟，因為據當時的救護人員說，我的呼吸和心跳已經停頓，只是靠他們的急救和機器的輔助。大家可想而知，原本是蹦蹦跳跳，夏天時常去游泳，冬天時常去打籃球的「波牛」，突然連自己的身體也控制不了，去X所也要人幫助，不能夠自己拿水來喝，我心是多麼難受。

三、面對歧視

到了後期，可以回到學校了，心?期待著快樂的校園生活，怎料會被一些頑皮的同學取笑，當年傳媒稱我「輝仔」，但他們叫我「跛仔」、「龜仔」等等，有一次被同學愚弄，我們分組做功課，功課完成後，他們竟然不寫我的名字在功課上。我常常被別人誤解，我兩隻眼的左邊視力都喪失了，這帶給我很多麻煩，我現在左手配戴了手架，協助我左手的控制，加上手筋變緊了，所以有時左手會抽起來，走在街上的時候，我可能碰到柱子，不?祖煽N碰到人，被人大罵一頓，或是被人當作是色魔，有些人被我碰過之後就摸摸身上的衣袋，看看有沒有東西不見了，有一次，我不自覺地纏上了一位女士的手袋，她凶神惡煞地看著我，以為我要搶她手袋，有一次過馬路非常危險，我只聽?>引擎聲從左面傳來，於是往左一看，一輛計程車差點就撞上的膝蓋了。在一次，我在巴士的走廊上跌倒了，但一直沒有人理會我，當時是上學時間，車上大部分都是中學生，他們都趕著上學，跨過我就算了，最後由一對公公婆婆扶起我。那時，我的自尊心和尊嚴都沒有了，我的青少年階段就這樣過去了。我也被傳媒追迫和誹謗，別人也信以為真，指著我罵。這十多年的確面對過不少的困難，你可能會問：「既然這麼辛苦，為什麼還要生存下去呢？生命是為了什麼呢？」那時我在醫院常常問：「我的身體變成這樣，我還可以做什麼呢？」我想來想去也想不通，直到我想起一件事。

四、經歷死亡

在我昏迷期，我感受不到地心吸力，好像在一個空間上飄浮，那空間很恐怖，漆黑一片，伸手不見五指，在那環境當中，我感到絕望、無助、憂慮、徬徨，我心想：「這次應該是大件事了！」我意識到死亡，我看見這個世界，但這個世界的人看不見我，我心想：「既然要離開世界了，究竟誰是神？」小時候，我的家人是拜偶像的，我就讀於天主教小學和基督教中學，在那空間中，我大叫：「神啊，我不知道你是誰，但如果你是真的話，你就救救我吧！」結果沒有回應，我繼續在那空間?飄浮，過了一段時間，我看見很遠的地?>有一點光，我就向那光飄去，去到的時候，才發現它是一個洞，我立時就穿過去，去了另一個空間，那是一個很光，很美，很舒服的地方，但我仍然有一個問題，就是究竟我會往哪?去，我不知道我正在往天堂還是地獄，於是我心想：「不如找人問路吧！」我看見遠處有一個人影，我飛了過去，在過程中，我有幾樣發現：一、愈接近他，我就愈感覺到溫暖、被接納和平安。
二、我發現那空間的所有光都是從他發出來的。
三、我發現原來他比我大得很，我就像一隻螞蟻站在人的身旁那樣，我接近他的時候，他在我面前大得像一堵牆，但我知道那是靈體。這些好像聖經所說的，神就是光，神是個靈，我開始體驗到聖經記載的真實。小時候，我以為看見上帝就必定是已經死了，那時我心想：「十三歲就死？不是早了點嗎？」於?O我問上帝：「上帝啊，這是否就是我的結局？」在祂回答我這個問題之前，我在心?問了兩個問題，祂都回答了我，第一個問題是：「你是誰？」祂回答：「我就是你要找的神了！」我再問祂：「你是誰？」祂回答：「我的名叫耶和華。」我那時知道耶和華是聖經所說的神，我知道祂是誰了，就放膽開口問了那個問題，然後在我面前有很多圖畫快速飄過，但我看得很清楚，那些是我受傷前的生活片段，我還知道圖畫中自己的思想和感受，祂對我說：「未！你還要回去，你還有事要做。」我原本還想留在那?，因為那地方實在?>好了，但祂這句話就像一個軍官對一個士兵下命令，痗}始向後移，回到現實，感到地心吸力，發現自己躺在床上。

五、活出真義

這經歷讓我明白到，人死後仍會有靈魂，這個世界是有神的，祂就是聖經所說的耶和華上帝，此外，我也經驗到神是光和靈，和啟示錄所說的──人死後要看見在生時的經歷，我還知道，我們的生死是由上帝掌管的，回想起這件事，我知道雖然我遇上很多困難，但神仍然看顧著我，祂要我回到世上做點事，我相信我今天仍然活在世上是有意義的，我相信每個人在世上生存都是有功能的。我回到世上來，身體很軟弱，有一大班基督徒常常來探望我，有失明的，有正在面對公開試的，我在他們身上看見無私的愛心，這愛是從上帝那?來的。我也漸漸發現上帝是聽禱告的，每次我有困難，流淚禱告的時候，神就給我支持，甚至有時「差派」人來幫助我，鼓勵我，我愈來愈發覺這個信仰是很真實的，是很重要的。

六、凡事謝恩

幸福並不是必然，我在醫院?住了差不多半年，見過不少古怪的病症，見到很多病人沒有人來探望他們，所以我們要珍惜身邊的家人和朋友，也要珍惜自己的身體，我學習到知足常樂，中國人常常說這句話，其實聖經早就告訴我們這個道理了：「只要有衣有食，就?>知足。」(提前六8)我們都有衣有食，這幾年我有機會到中國大陸的遍遠山區作一些義務工作，我看見他們乏衣服和食物。保羅說：「我並不是因缺乏說這 話，我無論在甚麼景況都可以知足，這是我已經學會了。」(腓四11)知足是需要學習的，感謝神讓我漸漸學習到知足，保羅也說：「不但如此，就是在患難中也是歡歡喜喜的。」(羅五3)這並不困難，只要你把自己的觀點角度調校就做o到了，讓我給你一個實例，?痦{在站在這?，雙腳是有點痛的，因為骨骼已經磨損了，但我仍然很快樂，因為我可以站起來與大家分享，我曾經只能躺在床上，也曾經要坐輪椅，我很珍惜自己能站起來。此外，我也珍惜痛的感覺，因為我的左手是沒有感覺的，曾經受傷流血也不察覺，所以痛的感覺是很重要的，我看過一則新聞，說有一個小孩子吸吮手指，後來竟把手指吃掉了，經過研究後，發現他原來並沒痛的感覺，所以你們的感覺都是有其功用的，例如冷和肚子餓。所以我們要珍惜每一樣東西。我也學習到「凡事謝恩」，我為到我身體能站立而感恩，在生活中的大部分時間，我都只能用單手，我是以單手控制電腦的，我也用單手打領帶、綁鞋帶、剪指甲，我視覺上的困難也帶來很多不便，但為我為我的視力感恩，這「凡事謝恩」的態度是從何而來的呢？這是一個很有趣和吊詭的問題。

今天的主題是「保守我生命」，聖經說我們有身體和靈魂，我們的靈魂在死後仍然存在，這是真實的，有病人死去多個小時甚至多天後還能活過來，這些病人的經歷和我的很相似，他們知道死後靈魂的存在，就更加珍惜生命，也改變了人生觀，他們會為死後而作打?漶A我們很多時為現世計劃，但我們很少為死後而計劃，這是很重要的，聖經說若我們跟從神，相信耶穌，就會有永恆的生命，永遠與神一起，所以，我們要保守我們的靈魂，箴?>說：「你要保守你心，勝過保守一切，因為一生的果效，是由心發出。」(箴四23)我們要保守我們的心，就要「一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求和感謝，將你們所要的告訴神。神所賜出人意外的平安，必在基督耶穌裡，保守你們的心懷意念。」(腓四6-7)首先，你要相信神，盼望大家擁有喜樂和豐盛的生命，因為耶穌說：「我來了，是要叫羊得生命，並且得的更豐盛。」(約十10)我們很多時會被以往的成功或失敗影響，但聖經教導我們要「忘記背後，努力面前的，向著標竿直跑，要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。」(腓三13-14)原來神早已揀選了我們，而且已為我們準備了禮物，我們是否願意接受這禮物呢？

願大家能得著這豐盛的生命，願神祝福大家。

No God...No Peace Know God...Know Peace

I have read a great article forwarded from my friend, Misheky Tsang. I have the same thought as the reader. I do know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the best church in the world. Sometimes, I thought if the church was not the best, I would not be a full-time missionary for the Church for 2 years. Before I served as a missionary, I have gradurated from university. I could start to earn money in my career but I just saved a little money and went to the mission field. I never regret to be a servant for my Lord Jesus Christ. I love the work because I have learnt how to give unconditional love to the strangers and exercise faith in the God. From the 2-year experience, I learn how to transfer the wonderful knowledge to my career. I love my job because I work with the wonderful and faithful staff. All of them is the church members. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is so amazing and wonderful. It gives me an eternal vision. Therefore, I will share with you by quoting the whole article here.

'Saw this sign at a Church and liked it:

No God...No Peace
Know God...Know Peace

Sometime ago in a local newspaper in Provo, Utah, there was an ongoing series of articles written by individuals who wanted to persuade LDS Church members to leave the Church. In response to the highly critical and spirited remarks, a local member wrote this rebuttal:-----------------

Editor:
I have been thinking of quitting the Mormon Church. Yes, if I can, I am going to get even
with that church. As soon as I can find another church that teaches about the...

Gathering of the House of Israel; The return of the Ten Tribes and their mission;
The return of the Jews to Palestine and why, and how they are going to build the temple;
The building of temples and what to do with them; The mission of Elias, the prophet, as predicted by Malachi; The method for the salvation of the people that died at the time of Noah, in the flood; The origin of the American Indian; The complete explanation of why Jesus of Nazareth had to have a mortal mother but not a mortal father; The explanation of the three degrees of glory (three heavens) as mentioned by Paul; The complete explanation of why Elias and Moses did not die but had to be translated (since they both lived before the resurrection was introduced by Christ); The restoration of the gospel by modern revelation as promised by Peter and Paul and Jesus himself; The belief in eternal marriage and the family,
and the knowledge and the place to seal for eternity; That teaches abstinence from all harmful drugs and foods; and that sells the best fire insurance policy on earth, for the last days, for only a 10th of my income.

Yes sir, as soon as I can find another church that teaches all that, or even half as much, I
will say good-bye to this Mormon Church. The church that I am looking for must also be
able to motivate 50,000 youth, and adults, for the first, second or third time, to leave their
homes for two years at their own expense and go to far-away places to teach and preach without salary.

It must be able to call, on a frosty day, some 5 or 6 thousand professors, students, lawyers,
doctors, judges, policemen, businessmen, housewives and children to go and pick apples at
6 a.m. It must be able to call meetings and get the attention for two hours of more than 150,000 men. Yes, it must also teach and show why salvation is assured for children who die before eight years of age.

Mr. Editor, could you help me find a church that teaches all that and more than hundreds of other doctrines and principles, which I have no room to mention here, and which brings solace, comfort to the soul, peace, hope, and salvation to mankind, and above all, that answers the key questions that all the great philosophers have asked; questions and answers that explain the meaning of life, the purpose of death, suffering and pain; the absolute need for a Redeemer and the marvelous plan conceived and executed by Jesus Christ the Savior?

Yes, as soon as I find another church that teaches that and also that has the organization
and the powers to make that teaching effective, I am going to quit the Mormon Church. For I should not tolerate that "they" should change a few words in the Book of Mormon - even if those changes simply improve the grammar and the syntax of the verses - for, after all, don't you think the Divine Church should employ angels as bookmakers, and clerks, to do all the chores on earth?

Don't you think, Mr. Editor, that the Divine Church should also have prophets that don't get
sick and don't get old and die, and certainly, that don't make a goof here and there. No, sir. A
Divine Church should be so divine that only perfect people should belong to it, and only
perfect people should run it. As a matter of fact, the Church should be so perfect that it
should not even be here on earth!

So, I repeat, if any one of the kind readers of this imperfect letter knows about another Church that teaches and does as much for mankind as the Mormon Church, please let me know. And please do it soon, because my turn to go to the cannery is coming up.

Also, "they" want my last son - the fifth one - to go away for two years and again, I have to pay for all that. And I also know that they expect me to go to the farm to prune trees, and I have heard that our ward is going to be divided again, and it is our side that must build the new chapel.

And also, someone the other day had the gall of suggesting that my wife and I get ready to go on a second mission, and when you come back, they said, you can volunteer as a temple worker. Boy, these Mormons don't leave you alone for a minute. And what do I get for all that, I asked? "Well," they said, "for one, you can look forward to a funeral service at no charge!"...

Do you think you can help me to find another church?

Thomas D. Clark

I'm special

I'm special. In all the world there is nobody like me. Since the begining of time, there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, my voice. I'm special. No one can be found who has my handwriting. Nobody anywhere has my tastes -- for food or music or art. No one sees things just as I do. In all of time there has been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me. And what makes me laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever.

No one reacts to any situation just as I would react. I'm special. I���m the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities. Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things I���m good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of my combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can match the symphony sound when all are played together.

I���m special. I���m rare and as in all rarity, there is great value. Because of my great rare value, I need not attempt to imitate others. I will accept ��� yes, celebrate my differences.

I���m special. And I���m beginning to realize it���s no accident that I���m special. I���m beginning to see that God made me special for a very special purpose. He must have a job for me that no one else can do as well as I. Out of all the billions of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes.

That one is me, Because ��� I���m special.

Turning to the Savior in Adversity

In our premortal existence we shouted for joy at the prospect of coming to earth, where we would obtain a physical body, gain experience, and be tested. Part of this testing experience, we knew, would be afflictions of body and spirit.Everyone struggles with adversity: illness, accidents, death of loved ones, and trials of all kinds that sometimes leave us wondering if we have the strength to carry on. President Brigham Young assures us, however, that ���every vicissitude we pass through is necessary for experience and example, and for preparation to enjoy that reward which is for the faithful��� (Teaching of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young [1997], 262).As we look heavenward for understanding and help, we can find comfort in knowing that a loving Father will not leave us alone in our hour of need (see D&C 24:8). Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, speaking in October 1998 general conference, reported on his experience and thoughts following his third heart attack, which required bypass surgery. During the time he was lying in a hospital bed and later convalescing at home, he pondered the meaning of life and the eternities. As he endured physical pain, he also thought of the deeper pain and anguish of the soul. He came to realize how important many types of caregivers are to the healing process: doctors, nurses, therapists, a loving spouse, parents, children, and friends. ���The Lord is the ultimate caregiver,��� he reflected. ���We must surrender ourselves to the Lord. In doing so, we give up whatever is causing our pain and turn everything over to Him��� (���Healing Soul and Body,��� ENSIGN, Nov. 1998, 16).In surrendering ourselves to the Lord, we need to actively seek His assistance. Prayer and fasting, scriptures study, temple attendance, priesthood and patriarchal blessings, assistance from home teachers and visiting teachers, counsel from parents or priesthood leaders are all effective ways of exercising faith in Jesus Christ, learning His will, and receive His blessing. As we seek the Lord���s help, we need to recognize that He may not always remove our trials. But He will always help us find the strength to endure them.In the most sublime manifestation of love, the Savior took upon Himself the burden of our sins and infirmities, that through the power of His Atonement we can find healing and happiness.Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles testified: ���Safety, peace, joy, and security are found only in the life and mission of Jesus Christ, the Son of Almighty God���.���Does that mean we will not have turmoil or personal problems or sickness or family challenges or employment difficulties? Not at all. But it does mean that if our faith is anchored securely in our testimonies of Christ, we will be able to cope with whatever adversity comes our way���.If we keep the eye of faith focused on Christ, we gain a broader view and an eternal perspective, and with that we can understand adversity from within the context of Heavenly Father���s eternal plan for all of His children��� (���When shall these things be?��� ENSIGN, Dec. 1996, 61).
