And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Weymouth New Testament
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.
John 1:5
I am not a Christian. Nonethless, John 1:5 always facinates me, especially Webster's translation. However, a time like this, is one of the rare exception that I prefer Weymouth's instead.
I often enjoy visits to "the dark side." Just like a movie theatre, there is no better place than the darkess to see a show of light.
On August 8th, 2009 a typhoon devastated southern Taiwan with torrential rain and flood. Today, I went to the city hall of Kaohsiung trying to offer my helping hands. I was turned away and told "Please come back tomorrow before 7:30 AM."
The following clip and pictures were taken during lunch time when things were "slow."
約翰福音 1:5：
光在黑暗中照耀著，黑暗卻沒有勝過了（或譯︰『去領會』﹔或『趕上了』）光。
我雖然不是基督徒，但仍很喜歡約翰福音。我平常比較偏好「去領會」，但此時此刻，倒是讓我比較欣賞「勝過」。
對光來說，沒有任何舞台比黑暗更好，好比電影院。所以我常喜歡到暗處欣賞光。
以下錄影及照片是在午餐時間拍攝的，所以志工們不太忙。
Each time you hear an applause in this clip, is people thanking a departing driver just unloaded his/her donation.
每當您聽到掌聲響起，就是志工們在歡送完成捐贈的市民。
