A view and strong opinion.

 Footage of two Afghan illegal immigrants abducting a girl, 15, was deemed "so appalling" it "could cause riots". That's a view and strong opinion. Personally I don't think so, no one needs to see footage of a rape being conducted.  If nothing else should consider the victim and  be respectful for the poor girl. The backstory growing is how society but more particular those with authority are not protecting vulnerable females, by that l mean females in all aspects. we have not given them support nor legal resources. Catalogue of harm, abuse, sexual trafficking. It s gone on with political classes sleepwalking. This has  framework that l addressed yesterday. Righteousness, mercy, grace, Justice. In 1993, the James Bulger abduction CCTV footage was released "to facilitate an informed public debate" on public safety

Is it time to do the same again? That's a view and strong opinion.

Is it time to do the same again?

This they are suggesting has likeness to the killings of child in Liverpool L4 decades ago. Unsure if the issues are framed like some are heralding. But anger boiling, sheer evil projected has echoes. James Bulger murder in February 1993. Coming out of University with my Qualification was miserable sideshow. Throughout Anfield/Walton/Kirby area at the time, because you knew both the areas the killers (Jon Venables and Robert Thompson) came from, you were moved to  the immediate patch to Norris Green for your own safety and to avoid any conflict of interest.

The night the police released the names and the fact the killers were local 10-year-old boys from Walton... it was absolute bedlam. Walton was like a tinderbox. Mobs were forming, people were out on the streets, bricks through windows, families having to be moved in the middle of the night. 

Ralph and Denise Bulger somehow kept going through sheer grief, heart broken pain, disbelief. Ralph in particular was in pieces; he barely spoke for weeks. The extended family closed ranks around them, but the pressure was unimaginable. I have often asked, prayed, wondered how any of them coped is beyond comprehension.

A lot of youth workers, probation staff, social workers who were on the patch at the time were quietly reassigned or just told to keep their heads down for months afterwards. Some never went back to certain estates. Pain, anger, spirit ,fallout changed many around Merseyside for a generations impact still echoes this day.

This `Jesus stuff` following him and building his kingdom. Not for wimps !

Its hard but `time after time` come across people who get this ticket to Heaven given them by Jesus.

That's it, no mention of justice, 

No mention of mercy, no mention of peace, 

No mention of righteousness. no mention of grace

No mention of compassion.

No wrestling with what the kingdom will look like.

No mention of exploring the economics well being of a neighbours

How teachings of Jesus impact your ethical soundings,

the bigger frame of what the Prophets' like Jeremiah, Isiah, Micah, Hosea, Joel.

Not to mention the words these messages of prophesy implore us to commit to living.

"Even now", declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."

"He had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened" - Jonah 

 My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused" - Hosea 

"what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" - Micah

"Return to me and I will return to you", says the Lord - Malachi

"Even now", declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." - Joel 

Guess that's quite a lot to digest and think about for now tell me this `Jesus stuff` following him and building his kingdom.

Not for wimps or self centered individuals is it...Gotta ask ?

Arrived.

 Well the season Rightly called advent arrived

There not so obvious in the shops weather been affecting the issue with lot wetter days ,all feels longer. Colder lot less to do in rural community. Harder to bring about social cohesive, but going for long `sabbatical` break where some approaches will provide discussion if not solutions. later for reflection shared. For now it's rest period .

Encounters

Asleep.

This is the image of the season sleeping on our beach....but very young and dangerous so marine dive unit. Following challenging encounter with dog walkers humans interviend. Taken the seal into care for check and release later.

Shops are very empty today are full with major works affecting travel moments. Which when possible such moments we're slow along with frustrating.

Friendship is valuable word one we should treasure. Role we should all attempt to play to best of our abilities . Encounters we have are valuable need mentoring, caring about handled with love compassion wisdom and grace.

Love wins so get in the game and play the part. 

Beware.

Well think we've all been warned, so apparently this is also a film from the 60's. Amazing thet type of brains that script such a wonderful crazy film. LIFE is crazy beautiful and funny. Hope you've getting entertained this Friday evening.

How`s your children doing Mr. Goring , No grandchildren yet.

All that Jesus said about marriage and divorce was about liberation of women.
That’s often reflected but not always accepted by the Church.

Listening to a Jewish Rabbi communicate about issues of justice, oppression, educational message about how we should treat each other. Reaffirmed the place of Woman changing society. Lessons we are sure not learnt and still not be observed in 2025. Lot you can learn from People of Israel.

ISNT THIS FUNNY...Today, Berlin Germany is protected by the Israeli Arrow 3 missile defense system.  all those War films stories facts how we viewed the world then...compare this to Todays news and event...

The grandchildren of the people nearly exterminated by the Germans in concentration camps, by being hounded out and killed, tortured gassed. The skill base, commitment technical, economic development of these partners. Today is now making Germany safe for the German people. Hold onto this message of weight words that are echoing to enable us to explore how we got here to this place now Today.

We do not live in the past. We live in the future.

How did we get from then to where we are at present?

Did some people have to compromise where what was the areas that took place?

Excuse me but Herr Goring guess what your beloved Luftwaffe is now operating.

Hope you approve …oh the fun working together, l mean there a cost but the Luftwaffe wanted the best...This if you explore closer do come in and explore well confident Adolf is going to be delighted with all the technical advances... a strategic system that was designed and built by the grandchildren of the Jews he tried to exterminate. You know oh come on you remember...

How`s your children doing Mr. Goring , No grandchildren yet.

   We believe in Life

after life after Death..

                  As did Paul...John ....and Jesus.

We just don't understand  what that could mean.
