Morning prayer

Lord Jesus, hold our attention, and keep our focus on you and on your way; let us not be swayed by empty philosophies, by the lure of possessions, by the love of power, or position, or pride. Give us a proper humility and confidence in your love, for we are yours.

LIFE well you know....it is ...

Returning to the gym sessions it felt good to stretch oneself physically. Fortunate can still be active, work on areas of my physically this of course impacts areas of our mental wellbeing being. Which then philosophy affects leisurely pursuits have more energy to think and ponder.

My good fortune carried on as before the bus arrived had chance to enjoy a cuppa. Need to reflect on life and how lucky, blessed, fortunate, a person is and hope you can count the little things as blessings worthy of you recieving them.

The storms of yesterday still raging bringing further destruction even lose of LIFE the services have been out putting stuff in place. Shocking evidence lack of support along with the high costs of heating making LIFE difficult. We learnt at Unie that the book a road less travelled begins with these words a line so relevent from 1960 to the present these words resonate. 

LIFE is tough.

Northern Power are pretty powerless

 The very strong wind is impacting  Northern Powers ability to work at height and get the power back on quickly. 

These very strong winds which have been predicted several days ago ...those very strong winds....yes them one's. ..

Once Northern Power....have assessed the extent of the damage,

( just guessing here ..) 

Northern Power will have more certainty about when power will be restored.

Just put my BS detector on ..yeah high reading here.

The rivers have been full of the Algie for quiet a while no one's made any real effort to clean up. The prices in supermarket have been master rated to remain high the greed of the bosses allowed this fact. The TV stations been running the same repeats so often now can't understand with such a varied film catalogue why war films and western repeats are the only choices made. BBC Question time is championing again the thought of this country returning to European common market..Guess reached the conclusion that l don't belong to these times.

Overall we are living in Leadership crisis times. Moved so far from reality any truth is accepted so louder ones get listened to more easily.

Harder to believe then not.

          It's harder to believe then not too.

Look at the colours of this glorious wonderful creative season captured on the mechanics of a mobile phone. The image of a building up can walk around plus upon it's city walls Outer walls of a castle in York. The mixture of oranges reds yellows fading green in the leaves alone. Coulers plus  texture of the bark of the tree stood there for hundreds of years 

Then there is the way my body allows me to move along castle walls up stairs and along narrow parkways. Safely l traverse my journeys walking along paths that for thousands of years others have walked same route for very many different reasons. Song of birds sometimes echo these walks through a heritage town in haunted atmosphere of buildings stood for centuries. You see nothing got here without a creators hand. Without a force a source larger bigger more loving then l can imagine. But some they don't believe this stuff the God stuff the Lord Jesus stuff. It's all a fairy tale.

I believe in the hand that controls time space and everything so l invested much of my life following the kingdom principles of the king of kings.

One thing l know it's harder to believe then not too.

Funny growth opportunity stories in stormy UK.

 RAYE has won the 2026 Mercury Prize for her critically acclaimed second studio album, This Music May Contain Hope. The singer collected the prestigious £25,000 award 

Doesn't sound like a lot of money. But this wonderful Lady with good character is a worthy winner. Surprised the Album has got a concept theme very different found maybe need to give it few more listens as yet to me got no stand out tracks. Not featured on anything come across nor overplayed on the Radio.

Community are seldom established. They should be organic in a business setting, there's a community gathering around some old sheds, some movement out away from this starting. When others get established they develop business ideas then start processing from an  organic happening, to establish themselves in retail area. Growth and development. 

That's what community can be people come together often then we feel that can be creative and enthusiasm begins. Individuals find opportunity to chat, voice deep concerns, and try stuff. Some of the basics for gatherings to develop then become Community.

Who personally do you belong too ?

Where around you are people gathering ? 

Do you witness growth  ?

Relationships always work in progress.

" There's a light a certain kind of light, that's never shone on me."

It just hasn't in a Bee Gees kind of knowledgeable way. I'm at something of a crossroads nevertheless less it's time for me to move on.

 When people don't communicate with you there comes a time when wasting your words, wasting your efforts and end up communicating into a vacuum. It's disheartening. 

It was Gladys knight who sang on the soundtrack to the film ..'The Butler'.. film worth investment of your time.

" You and me we ain't nothing no more" , real painful song to listen too and imagine. Life brings uncertainty it brings stress. Everyday challenges but we all need rewards of knowing our efforts hold value. Or we are not human we just AI nonhumans playing at relationships. Relationships are person centered they need to be worked at. But sometimes just space along with time to evaluate if a relationship mainly friendship is worth effort.

Your journey can be a useful guide here but value yourself.
Invest in you.

It's our time ..Time for US.

 Despite the horrors going on in Europe. Awful incident where in Australia MP got hit by a car then the assailant returned to drive the car over her. Despite poverty increasing food equality fading young families struggling. We can still be beautiful.
You and l have to be this thing of being a BHP. Beautiful human being.

Maybe it's us having to find the beauty,maybe we have to remain silent, maybe we have to seek God's counsel. Maybe we have to share our limited resources better. Maybe we have to ignore the hatred. Maybe we have to sit with someone and listen longer. Maybe we have other ideas better then different then those l suggest.

Beetroot a hard vegetable not the easiest to cook takes lots of boiling. It's ugly doesn't go as an accomplishments with very many other foods. But when tasted it very worthwhile and very good for a person. Like maybe we have to be as the storms approach. They are approaching not just the ones bringing the tidal waters over a wet cold harsh promenade. Life's storms are often near at difficult times. But we are. Called to be of good cheer to spend time on the frontiers with the lost and broken. . . . yes you. Yes us.
Our hope is in the Kingdom values that Jesus calls us to live out in relationships encounters and acts of love, kindness,  listening and sharing.
If we don't or we won't....it will not get done.
