クリスマス時期に多いゴスペルのコンサートが最近は夏にもあちこちで行われています。　基本は祈りの歌ですが、日本ではエンターテイメントとして受け入れられているようで、クリスチャンで無いのに歌っている私も時には意味を考えます。

MY YOUTH BEGAN AT 95, MY CAREER AT 100
FUKUOKA, Japan, April 10, 2008 ― The last thing on a 101-year-old Fukuoka scholar's mind is retiring. Saburo Shochi, a professor emeritus at Fukuoka University, has announced plans to embark on a round-the-world trip to give lectures in 11 countries on early education for children, as well as share the secrets of his longevity. He will turn 102 on the trip, which will be his fourth overseas in the past four years. "My doctor has given me an official go-ahead for the trip. I'd like to speak about the necessity of education of the heart that does not rely on school systems."T Dr. Shochi plans to visit universities and education ministries in all 11 countries, which include the United States, Brazil, Senegal and Turkey, from Aug. 4 to Sept. 12, 2008. As a lifelong educator and specialist in early-childhood education and care for disabled children, Dr. Shochi has enjoyed a long and varied career both in his native Japan and on an international stage. In 1954 he sold his family property in Fukuoka and opened the first school for physically and mentally challenged children in Japan – “Shiinomi Gakuen”. "Love is the power to keep us alive. This school is like a small tree. With enough sun and water, it will grow into a big tree someday, somehow,” explains Dr. Shochi. He is a celebrated national advocate for improving special education facilities for disabled children. In the rapidly aging society of Japan, Dr. Shochi has also been seen as a role model for socially engaged elderly activists. When he retired from teaching at a university in Fukuoka at the age of 63, Dr. Shochi was appointed President of a university in Korea and began developing special education facilities for disabled Korean children. He started studying the Korean language at age 64. Thirty years later, he was invited to China to create similar schools for disabled Chinese children. From the age of 80, he nursed his two sons who suffered from cerebral palsy and his wife who suffered from Parkinson’s disease. When they died during Dr. Shochi’s 95th year, he suddenly felt free to devote his extraordinary energies to the care of others.Dr. Saburo Shochi, who has doctorate degrees in medicine, literature and education, believes in educating next generations with love and patience. "It is important to have a kind heart even though you got poor grades,” Shochi said. The speech was a part of his global tour in 2004 to promote his theories that quality education should be based on sincere attitude, imagination and creation. In addition to his expertise in education, Shochi’s age was also another highlight during the speech because he looks like a senior citizen between 70 to 80. "My mom always reminded me that when eating, always chew for at least 30 times before you swallow, because chewing would help stimulate your brain, aid digestion and reduce wrinkles on your face. Also, continuing to learn is one of my secrets to keep me young.” Shochi said that he began to learn Mandarin at the age of 95 and he kept diary in Chinese every day. Seven years later, he is able to conduct basic conversations in Mandarin. Shochi added that he is currently learning Russian and Portuguese. (Read a full profile of Dr. Saburo Shochi HERE.)
