Dream #1-A newborn baby talks/acts on Day01. 20120411
I witnessed a newborn baby talks and acts like a real person on day01.
Dream #2-A lost swimming goggles. 20110412
I was swimming with 3 scuba diving team and one lost possession of her swimming goggles and panicked. I went into the deep water with no scuba gear and recovered the lost goggles at the bottom of the ocean floor but when I resurfaced, I end up in a different hostile location . It was a long vertical swim to the surface of the water and it was a great feeling of relief after I reached the top. I gave the lost diving goggles to the leader of the group so that he can give it to person who lost it but this person was not in good terms with the other group and end up convincing him to give me back the goggles.

Barnes on Mat 5:16 –
Let your light so shine … – Let your holy life, your pure conversation, and your faithful instructions, be everywhere seen and known. Always, in all societies, in all business, at home and abroad, in prosperity and adversity, let it be seen that you are real Christians.
That they may see your good works – The proper motive to influence us is not simply that we may be seen (compare Mat_6:1), but it should be that our heavenly Father may be glorified. The Pharisees acted to be seen of men, true Christians act to glorify God, and care little what people may think of them, except as by their conduct others may he brought to honor God, yet they should so live that people may see from their conduct what is the proper nature of their religion.
Glorify your Father – Praise, or honor God, or be led to worship him. Seeing in your lives the excellency of religion, and the power and purity of the gospel, they may be won to be Christians also, and give praise and glory to God for his mercy to a lost world.
We learn here:
1. that religion, if it exists, cannot be concealed.
2. that where it is not manifest in the life, it does not exist.
3. that “professors” of religion, who live like other people, give evidence that they have never been truly converted.
4. that to attempt to conceal or hide our Christian knowledge or experience is to betray our trust, injure the cause of piety, and to render our lives useless. And,
5. that good actions will be seen, and will lead people to honor God. If we have no other way of doing good – if we are poor, and unlearned, and unknown yet we may do good by our lives. No sincere and humble Christian lives in vain. The feeblest light at midnight is of use.
“How far the little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world!”
Personally, I think we should just do the opposite. With each new heretical statement that Francis makes, we should remind our listeners that Francis is a self described “loyal son of the Church” and surely he didn’t mean that. What he really meant was… (and quote magisterial teaching). If we could get enough bishops and cardinals doing this, Francis would no doubt take the Benedict option.
