I think we all need to pause and reflect.

        Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
       it is the courage to continue that counts

Human beings act with free choice, so if its the choice to shoplift, no amount of poverty can excuse that. Its choice. Poverty is an issue but too often worked with families who choose satellite TV over board games. Fast food over nourishing meal as a family.

Its a choice to watch the TV soaps and play out that drama with mates at school gates. Its harder choice to engage with everyday challenge of family relationships. I meet teenagers who cannot read nor can they write. Someone choosing a DVD over a book in the home cabinet. If the latest fashion warrants your income to be spent in that manner its chic to dress above your means, Support to fashion will dictate your processing and values. Its a bad choice to listen to your music loudly in a MacDonald's. Impacting others. We cant always lack incentive to change, we have to desire self improvement.

We must encourage each other to question what choices we are making and why, look for inspiration and lead by example. if you can`t afforded we are still going to do well. If we don't have we will not steal from another. If we can share our resources plus our stewardship is vital with what we hold and how we use that resource.
Give thanks, express gratitude. 

Let me be try please be bit honest with you. Three views found in North East

Let me be try please be bit honest with you.

On the East riding buses, personally don't just, don't talk on the phone.

In a quiet street, its just me don't shout.

At a restaurant, look at prices then wait in line, enjoy the occasion.

Like me many we are polite to strangers.

further pay for all l receive before its receive.

Don't have `Gold card`, Don't buy stuff do not require.

We apologize if we offend, if have a faith we explain.

if you insult or make fun of our Faith we recognise that's its allowed.

These aren't rules. There's no law for any of them.

Its just good ethical conduct even though of course we have delimas.

They are just 2000 years of small daily Judos Christian values,

we cherish promises

we keep, without being asked.

Do all these things above even when no one is watching.

If you can love that, you will love us. We as it follows will love you back.

This is from a BBC Report about money being paid to shops on many UK high streets despite the knowledge of border control, this is common practice in divided bitter community called the United Kingdom. A second tout who the BBC met met gave them phone number of the smuggler Ahmad, Now you may heard that name before often used by religious followers of a fake Prophet. Ahmed had been operating out of northern France for more than five years.

Takes some digesting just up to this stage read that gain.

On the phone, Ahmad - who spoke Farsi and said he was from Afghanistan - told the undercover researcher they could pay via one of three UK businesses, including at a shop called Afg Mobile Repair in Woolwich.

The crossing would cost £2,700 for two people.

As many prepare to go to Church in my locality.

So they allowed a hate march on the doorstep of a synagogue today. Yet again as Jewish people went to worship in fearful environment. There were next to no arrests while people called for ‘intifada’ further displayed the flag of Palestinian terrorist organisations.

Placards held aloft by children who couldn't know any different , but by students who should be educated to higher calling them this. Claimed that the UK is controlled by ‘Zionists’ we are all destroyed by ‘greed’. A common old Jews are 'fagin type' Dickensian portrait characters with big noses.

As l prepare to go into fellowship. Others vent hatred we have sunk so low. I will sing your praises not in a fearful environment but a bluebell coated scene where l will read in a Church bathed in sunlight.

They wouldn't dare would they, because they got the Jewish people to target . They won't target us will they?

Love that's makes you a cup of tea.....

 Love that makes a cup of tea.

You don't need to have any further wisdom. No need no more than that this Saturday evening in May 2026.

We are damaged, we are not best ...but we're not Broken.

In the underrated excellent series Broken. The priest acted well by Sean Bean  focuses on Michael Kerrigan ,we see the focus on everyday stuff includes, wrestling with doubt, guilt, uselessness, play in most extraordinary manner by actor.  Something we all experience in mission in professional work especially in community settings. He feels incapable of delivery of the faith aspects of his Priesthood. Holy sacraments are Challenged as he often recalls his unsuitability. Someone mentioned in Church this struggle with a monthly presentation.

You see we may project our knowledge, we should prepare well use best resources we can muster. But something internally frays our senses as we realise the huge burden of communication our message.
Communication in faith work, in children teaching, Priestly positions, further other all call for talking with elegance, clarity, humor and much more.
At the end of 'Broken' the wonderful series...everyone come up for the sacraments says the following...Thank you you wonderful Priest.
So well written by legend that is Jim McGovern. We don't get to hear these comments, we don't make those expressions. We have to accept that it simply the way of miscommunication. We don't say the nice things we don't affirm others enough. But we should.

So l ask....
Why are we not good at communicating honestly affection, love, support and thankfulness.?
Why are we so slow to offer grace?
How can we improve in these areas?

Not present....always been in a rough place.

 Disability, my journey, tiredness and fatigue, my odd energy levels, weird strange thing called` theology`.
Trying to develop get comfortable in a strange place not wanting to form human relationships, recognise got bit more awkward, wrestling with spaces like the one between spirituality and my ischemia heart condition. Health Battle with tablets. Very challenging sleeping pattern early hours, short days, several days a week when `best describe as disappearing`. Not present as l sleep four times extra to the previous day. When my heart gives up it just cuts me out. 

MY JOURNEY INCLUDES;- Spiritual meaning in Movies, low culture, Sports. History, Entertainment, Classic Rock, Country Muzak ,Northern soul, Health+issues

well l always been in a rough place, most of my LIFE  Hull is one letter from hell most times looks like a Marvel Gotham city template, with crime drugs, immigrants, dirt and Dickensian conditions a plenty.

Hulluensions are from a forgotten place, but last night again we rise from the ashes to try congueros the football world trying to join the elite.

Brilliant Hull City off to Wembley after deserved play-off win at Millwall. That's done my heart lot of good plus the culture of the environment in the City has changed a little. well done Hull city players, supporters and Manager plus staff.

The Tigers are now just one game away from a sensational Premier League return. City will now face the winner of Southampton or Middlesbrough. We don't care its put us back on the football map. where many feel we belong. Hull not always Hell here.

They excerised power to own advantage. Now losing that position.

The weather here has been exceptionally chilly, wet and bitterly cold. Like we are still in winter me alongside some of my friends found this actual experience hard.

Politically the UK situation is messed up but nastiness between the elite towards the democratic process is interesting. A vote took place to leave the EU that was democracy in action. Another issue, tack the local elections last week into a place those whose duposyity has been in place for decades now been threatened. The situation been found to be unwarranted. People who should have the power. Decided that the power belongs to them.

Not to those who took the power and decided a change was required.But the UK government cannot accept change, cannot accept losing a hold they have over others. They got to much to lose privileges, food, benefits, keeping weaker in places of submission. They excerised power to own advantage. Now losing that position.

Why does the anger that the democratic order managed to suppress materialise when they are voted out. Why can't the political elite become grateful at those expressing a solution to something that's not what they require. They voted they spoke they can now disappear and work on implementing what's been asked.
