Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart

November 29th, 2009

What did you do on the Thanksgiving holiday? Here I collected the song Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart by Don Meon.

The lyric:
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich”
Because of what the Lord has done for us

And now let the weak say, “I am strong”
Let the poor say, “I am rich”
Because of what the Lord has done for us

Give thanks
Give thanks

Office Yoga Practice

October 25th, 2009

Months ago, I went shopping and had a look at the disc for Yoga. I found the cover with the following image.

I bought a disc and followed the video. However, I still could not reach the standard of the position. Actually, I just need to do as far as I can reach. Some days later, I did not keep practicing. The most important thing is practicing. Here is the short video from the disc.

I remembered the Yoga practice I did in winter and got warm up during the practice. It is a good feeling. Maybe winter is a good season for Yoga, huh?

Healthy working healthy life

October 23rd, 2009

When autumn comes, the weather is getting dried and dried, and some of us will catch cold. We have recently talked about exercise in our spare time. Some of us mentioned about Yoga. There is another saying Pilate.

For people like me sitting in office, working with computer all the time, the neck and shoulder will stay in the same position for such a long time that we will feel uncomfortable.

Here is the video I got for the neck and shoulder:

The source video is from yogayak.com. It is only a short review on the Yoga for neck and shoulder to relieve headache and pain.

Making Sunrise Video

October 18th, 2009

Since my first post, I tried to find videos that I have in my hard drive and other possible devices. However, there is no ready video source. I finally found a series of photos taken a few months ago for the sunrise. They are beautiful and show different status of the sunrise. Enjoy the cut I made. It bothered me for some time when facing the photos. I finally decide to make movie with Windows Movie Maker and convert the output .wmv video to .flv with Moyea Flash Video MX Pro. As the movie was made from photos, I set the video bit rate as low as 20. Choose H.264 as video codec.

First have a look at the image.

Well, find the image from the video if interested.

As you can see, it was near the beach. We camped on the beach and there were many others taking tents to the beach. You would never sleep as sleep as long as you usually do when camping. Others would get up early, telling you to watch to sunrise. I was waked when a dad was asking his son to get up for the sunrise. I was not expected to see the sunrise, but also got up and waited for seeing the sun.

Fortunately, the sunrise came up in time.

Take Sunrise as Important Start

October 11th, 2009

Sunrise indicates the beginning of a day and the new life. Enjoy the sunrise and enjoy the day. Have a look at the video for the process of sunrise.

However, it is not what I got from my journey. I got the video from metacafe.com and the related URL is http://www.metacafe.com/watch/855986/sunrise_over_seattle_space_needle_and_cascade_mountains_in_time/.

I visited Lake Tai in Suzhou and spent a night in an island wanting to see the sunrise. Even though I got up early, the weather did not seem to agree with us. It was cloudy and the sun only showed up when it was 8 a.m. Below is the photo I took with sun hiding behind the could.

Well, here I got another source from metacafe. It did not record the sunrise, but the activity in the morning of Easter Baptism.

I like the song, Blessed Be Your Name. You can get the lyrics below: (the video does not play the entire song)
Blessed Be Your Name

In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out

I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s ‘all as it should be’
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
