There will l don't think ever be any Peace Shalom or enough Love to settle this issue ..until God is seated at the conference table.

 

Saddened to hear there still hatred towards each other, between the Blood Brothers in land known by various names down the ages of man.

They hold hostages. Kill each other invade and threaten death. Visit each other allow death cult values to govern own Humanity. Despite this there is incredible human resilience shining through and Love of family is evident. 

What's not fully grasped is depth of lose each family feels. No one can count or measure that lose. Nor the far reaching effect of this awful war on both tribes. Along destruction further division brought to many others .

There will l don't think ever be any Peace Shalom or enough Love to settle this issue ..until God is seated at the conference table.

Rom will recover and thrive. Let's all hope and pray he knows how many of us around the world prayed for him in various ways. So many thought about him and the Hostages daily, they believed that this War would end.

19 month's ago our beautiful lad Matthew David departed us. Not forgotten it's not easier time doesn't heal.

Loved and missed.

Blessing talk

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains to his followers what kinds of human lives are blessed by God. These words he spoke are known as the Beatitudes 

According to Jesus, God gives his blessing to: the meek – meaning humble people, those who make peace, those who show mercy to others

Jesus also mentioned that people who are persecuted because of their faith will be blessed and find reward in Heaven (Matthew 5:3–11).

The Bible relates how some of the people who came to hear Jesus give sermons feared that he was opposed to the teachings in the Old Testament which people had been following for a long time. However, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explained that he had not come to overturn God’s laws but to make sure they were upheld.

It's all difficult in part and at stages to grasp, take hold of and 'apply to my life' saying this as you ponder anew. But recognise that "these be of this attitudes" ,are not new to yourselves. 

The bits about loving your enemy and all the Kingdom of heaven stuff ...none of the teaching here, which followed intense period of . ministry that was about healing casting out demons.

But importance has to be ..

How vital are these words for building community today ?

What does persecution look like in modern times?

Why are we so short of Peacemakers?

Well we are so commercial and are capitalist 

Very good at killing our Leaders all things that are Alien and foreign to the teachings within the Sermon.

The key to faith growth is relationships. talking sharing maybe reinvent the understandings. But maintain relationships... .  

Problems in nomadic thinking

• So latest deconstruction statements is suggesting that we need to start:- well let's explore:-
• The Smiths sang about a light that never goes out. In a pop song value type of way.  BUT new Nomadic group desire returning to the light within ourselves, 
• one another, that exciting we don't trust gatherings not tribal following But there something mystery about us as individuals 
• The Earth might be the beginning of something truly new. Now let's not confuse faith with walking in Nature and being at peace  

Faith is not some vague rumble through stuff that lacks heritage as direction interesting journey of discovery . every where  you've gone has been because of people, places and stuff your wrestling with. .  It's connections

Only now do l think ... well no got it then.

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls.

Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget.
Like the stranger that you’ve met, the ragged man in ragged clothes.
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow 

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will.

I remember them playing this song along with vinyl they carried. We would come into smaller rooms in the Church youth club from playing football in the Large game area.

They pretended to be more intelligent yes bit aloofness about them. They fell away from faith they're then claiming.

But the song's about vision and mission to lost and fallen. The outsiders who Vincent reached in his outreach ministry.

Ragged outcast, not invited to the table. But the aloof in the safety of tridal gathering, first refused access to table, went on to reject the 'searcher' along with those he had gathered.

Very similar theme spoken into when watch film..'Babets feast'..another series of narratives about outsiders and detached being invited to the table. 

Blair and peacemaking.....Who freck is anyone kidding.?

President Donald Trump’s  Gaza peace plan offers some interesting proposals on awful situation regarding dead bodies and the tortured hostages. Something disturbing about lack of understanding surrounding issue of War crimes that took hostages and killed children...

Much can be found about issue that's titled` humanitarian aid,` Further glad Turks will lead on reconstruction. However my mind struggles with this concept that `war criminal` former British Prime Minister Tony Blair along with Trump himself, read this slowly.

Read this slowly. They will oversee Gaza reconstruction in what others are calling a  unmistakable colonial framework:  Many outsiders,in sense they are foreign not invested educationally cultural nor spiritual. They are rich on others misfortune,have been (well like much in UK governance), cast as trustees. These faithless bigots, greedy charlatans charged with heading up Palastine authorities. Of cause Palestinian statehood is deferred indefinitely.
