Summary On a Tuesday before the Thanksgiving, the author visited “I Am My Brother’s Keeper Ministry” to see the homeless program it operated. He brought a blue trap to Henry for his ceiling and he saw the very tough time of the church, such as they didn’t have gas to heat up their church in cold winter. Although he saw the difficult of the church, he didn’t sure whether Henry can be trust.
Q n A Q1: Why the author said that was cruel to ask Henry the first question?
Q2: Why the author didn’t want to be part of a sign? Q1: Ans: Because the author mentioned the past what Henry didn’t want to recall. Q2: Ans: He has different religions and he sympathize with them.
Afterthought The author saw very terrible and tough sight in the church and at the end he missed his home. We think that author first time realized the religion is not only for smooth joy but also a great companion of tough life.
Summary Henry delivered his sermon about judging people by their past. Due to his incredible life experience, he told his congregation what he had done in the past and said “You are not your past！”to let everyone know that we should not find faults with people and focus on the bad behaviors of their past. We can change our bad habits and prove that we are able to become better people.
Afterthought Human beings may make mistakes and it is impossible to pave a colorful life without failure. In situation of difficulty, we should always look on the bright side and be determined to lead our regrettable past onto a bright boulevard of future. Unfortunately , many people usually find faults with you and focus on the wicked conducts of your past, particularly your dishonorable background. Due to this reason, we must be strong to face our past and persist in our own perspective on changing bad behavior to excellent achievement. Even if you are often affected by others’ rumors, you have to tell yourself “I am doing the right thing！I am not what I was before！”
Question 1.What can’t we see when we are still looking at ourselves through our past？(有二項喔！) 提示：P192 Answer: When we’re still looking at ourselves through our past , we’re not seeing what God has done. We’re not seeing the little things that happen in our lives. 2. Why did the author feel embarrassed when he listened to Henry’s sermon？ Answer: According to the fifth passage on P192 , we deduce that the author doubt Henry would commit a crime again if he had returned to his New York life. However, Henry didn’t become the man the author thought. Therefore, he felt embarrassed while he prejudiced people for their past like many friends around Henry. The author determined that he should change this bad habit just like what Henry did with his.
