On a day of football emotions. What can you learn from old Western on a Saturday evening..

Show me a more deserving football club.If You can with lots of Injuries, some weird season long finical embargo’s,l. Quite a few weird strange decisions by dodgy refs, players from varied leagues and experiences results which like throwing in the kitchen sink. Yet we still as team that let the fans down not good results recently. We have got through and get the job done in the play offs.

Hailed as our football champion. Ugly brawling old fashioned,center forward. However there is  compassionate side to our star player Oli Mcburnie. What a year it has been supporting this absolutely amazing football club. Onwards Hull city my boyhood club my home town team. UTT We say up the Tigers.

Odd role for Chuck Conners but quite the vehicle for Gregory Peck  in the Big Country. Now time to sit back watch life threw the lens of western... Big Country... Such emotions as jealousy, cowardness, huge issues, all sorts of conflict. Real country divide by rivalry. Enemies and wrong way to resolve issues. What can you learn from old Western on a Saturday evening.

Resilience. Ethics how to confront dilemmas. How to use a gun.

@greenbelt.org.uk The most anti-sematic gathering since Jeremy Corbyn constituent meeting.

 @greenbelt.org.uk
The most anti-sematic gathering since Jeremy Corbyn constituent meeting, if your Jewish or Christian in faith OR nature avoid.

AVOID how low this festival has sunk.

Go camping under the stairs......OOPPPSSS I mean the stars.

 "Emotions are the richest source of energy we possess." 

There is a need for us as Human's to reconnect with stuff which makes us Humans.
Talk more Listen more Love deeper Kiss more often, dance, Share music , try to paint, laugh  again, hate less. Sit under trees more, swim often, walk barefoot on beaches. Explore God poke fun at deep theology, Poke more fun laugh longer at really deep theology.
Go camping under the stars. Cry when its awkward and others witness this. Comfort those who are crying. Grieve, Rebuild.....

So where is the hope?

 I want you to know I still love you
Even though we've been dancing on broken glass,
Parade all your memories, for the moments we shared
Never fade away I want you to know I still love you
When I walk down the memory lane
Where the night swears its love to the stars
There will be no more tears today...ultraviolet...

In this age of uncertainty, suffering, perpetual violence and war (not unlike twenty century Europe), What and Who can show us the way toward contemplative peace. . . .  In a world of deadly diseases and ecological disasters. Further to be added to things that may worry you this day. 

My friends guess what the internet has on you. Your address, your history, your relationships, ( glad they got them thought didn't have any, l'm not most social butterfly). Social media got your views, well that should keep them very busy, All filed, all accessible, all without your permission. ALL right.

LIFE is complicated messy plus hard work those huge things pick any from above. There the smaller concerns we faced inflation. Immigration lack of social cohesion, damaged relationships, poverty, poor housing. LIFE IS TOUGH. So where is the hope.

It's in your resilience.

It's in your strength that overcame the bully.

It's on your efforts to be a good neighbour.

It's in the value you place on friendship.

It's that gift you frequently add to the food bank.

Where is the Love it's in you all you hope for others. It's in the love you revieved. It's you kicking the darkness till it bleeds the light.

You..yes it's in you.

 So where is the hope?

It's in every waking moment, its in you and l as we get angry at injustice. It's when stand in wondering at nature. It also when we shake a fist, (metaphorically) and cry to the heavens. It's when we wonder at the joy of nature. When we look up but can't comprehend the stars. It's in the lyrics of a song we share with others.

It's a difficult world one that needs us to live here in our place in it, valuing each other hoping and praying for a better day.

Are you functioning yet struggling knowing you’ve lost some focus?

Nature is tough bit like LIFE at times there is magnificent even in death. These whales were part of a pod that lost its direction therefore lost its LIFE.We are the same if we lose our focus, direction, connections with LIFE source we die. Some people exist in this sense but they are not alive. What about you are you living? 

Are you functioning yet struggling knowing you’ve lost some focus?

Maybe just lost this sense of who you are where you should be going.

It's normal how you return kind of worried that the Author of this blog, (also the Author of his own LIFE). I don't want to be one of those people who in the moment make you feel worse. We all, l include the Author here, we have all been in moments get stuck in where we lose something.

But here's the rub the thing they often forget to tell you. Your getting the experience now.

You are experiencing something you will come out of , where you are there presently.

Maybe you should pause. Recognise the strength you've gained and refocus.

Enjoy some silence.Ignore zoom meetings. Arrange to meet someone face to face and try some peer counseling nothing deep with a period of maximum 45 minutes a cuppa someplace.

Away from your home into uncomfortable enjoy a little trip to be with someone. Agree to share.Agree to listen.

AND WE.

And we watched as thousand died in Iran for protesting about Life experienced.

And we watched as Palestine Christian Church members were killed like 'Blood Brothers' spoken about by Elias Chacour Chacour in 1947.

And we stayed silent as immigration spiraled out of control, women and girls lost there life's on streets of UK.

And we knew grooming of those vulnerable girls from social service authority homes was happening.

And we voted into power those who were friends with Pedophiles, gave them influence and position.

And we observed the empty Turkish barbers knowing mostly shop front for drugs and cocaine.

And we allowed high street to be places money making criminal gangs exploit situation so society is worse.

And we stood listening to a WOKE  narrative become Alma matra for police forces.

And we forgot about justice

And we no longer sought Peace.

And we no longer read books we no longer prayed we no longer sought God.

And we wonder why this became the place we wish we were not part of... 

Blood Brothers;- The story of Elias Chacour, a Palestinian Christian with deep love for Jews and Palestinians alike. Combines the history of Christianity in the Middle East with a new perspective on Bible prophecy.

Jewish person attacked in Slough near the Bath road.

 "They are not going to come after you. No one is going to jail for attacking you. You are not important enough." 

'We live in our cocoons where we try and pretend things are safe, we kid ourselves they are, when actually they are not.

'And then this happened. I was telling myself off for being irresponsible for going around as a visible Jew and thinking that I would be OK.'

So states the Jewish person attacked in Slough near the Bath road. My boss was a survivor of the concentration camp. From 1974 until his sad death in 1991 l was apprenticed into the tailoring trade. Learnt a profession. Still practiced this week to alter my Gozo jacket.

 I learnt a trade in poorly paid shop business with long hours requiring skill, patience, the hours were slow. As the ,ready made clothing market grew, our trade in bespoke men's suits died a quick ending. By then l had moved on to a profession going to collage then 3 years in practice based university degree.

With my Polish manager Bronislaw learnt about LIFE. Friendship values l was not just apprenticed into tailoring trade. But apprenticed into LIFE weekly sitting with many survivors who contributing to society. Told me no they shared with me the journey of de-stress and despair. As we drank cups of tea, ate apple strubble cake, how much valued those chats. Followed by laughter. Somber expression silence then work. They Journeyed to new life. From German concentration camp to liberation via Tehran to UK to full frontal action in 'operation Overlord'. Fast forward to Slough 2026, we are again in the evil place many died to prevent it's growth. Lies decite wickedness attacks hatred.....Daily.

Three men and a youth appeared at the Old Bailey today accused of destroying four Jewish community ambulances in an arson attack.
