Cosmetic are great but look deeper.

 Hull has previously been named one of the worst places to live but National Geographic recently named it one of the best places to visit. Suppose there's some truth in that. It's good actually cosmetic are great but look deeper. l mean really is it a bad place not just to live but to come from this environment. Further  witness what liberals have done to my home town. 
Filled this city (which l think is 8th largest city in UK), with every warring African national in such numbers it is an embarrassment. Every day we pass high numbers of eastern European distraction burglars going about illegal activities. These men gather on the streets, drinking, local shops suffer from criminal " l take, you pay for me" even embolden to speak negative, behaving aggressively to locals.

We used to swim in old outdoor lido in the park when we were young so long ago but yet so near it feels. There was a girl called Deborah that l met she was really magic person, pretty and very sophisticated for her age. W met at a lido in Hull, Did we grow up or just grow older. Worth dropping here for little reflection.
How old would you like to be when you do ' Grow up'.?

It's all ..."cosmic man"...in the end l expect.

 Repeating myself here, Theology is simple how we 'make sense of God.' we all hold those values treasure wonderful the points that do not add up or not aligned with our understanding. Theology like any interest ,Life skill, experience, should make us read deeper,talk more often, wrestle further, silently reflect while we ponder a new.

Wider societal historical and emotional aspects may come into play in our thinking.

Why is there so much fury in the way the reformation got discharged during the last Spcism.we had beautiful experience, new ways of doing theology different way to process. While the world turned we moved to towns, trades developed, the written word became more available  then we had ruled to govern the change which led to pretty appalling behaviour.Needed new Bishops, pretty soon the same issues became the norm.Yes simplified stuff we tore down beauty, we hurt those, even killed a far few who wouldn't change.

Thomas the great doubter but also great Apostle. Questions Jesus, Questions others,(Disciples) accounts. Asked for clarity as he wrestled with what he had been told. Jesus allowed this and spoke compassionately as this new way of being arrived. None of this was with fury or rejection .It was the making sense of God's new plan.

Don’t you give up and your dreams won’t give up on you.... WELL l don`t know so much !

 Your dream needs you

Your life
gonna find you
Your fear
not gonna blind you
Random angels
gonna guide you
To the street of dreams

Don’t you give up on your dream for the many not just the few
Don’t you give up and your dreams won’t give up on you

But in towns like Market areas here we have 4 to 6 additional Turkish barbers.

Here's to the beauty of the stars

Here's to the travelers on the open road.

lets not forget how wonderful it really can be, how much is there for us as we journey through these moments.

It is utterly UNFORGIVABLE what politicians have done and are still doing to the UK. Been trying to make sense of what l hear.

Then try to make sense of what l read even notice on TV news before it gets switched off. But in towns like Market areas here we have 4 to 6 additional Turkish barbers. Empty but still functioning along with several Vapes shops.

Vape shops sell products filled with drugs and damaging spices. Contribute to health issues in the young. Supply therefore actually support other drugs. Criminal activities linked to violence along with theft.

Its all done in plain site of governing bodies plus those charged with the authority to address then deal with issues . While addressing further neighbourhood concerns. Well here a few of mine.

I see this actions
I see these activities.
Recognise the outcomes.

Why doesn't the local authorities respond with joined solutions ? Gotta ask why? Why is there no response action or activities?

 

Saddatical Chance to simply be blessed while bless others.

 When we holiday we love to see sites, meet people spend 3 hours eating out meals while we talk.

Discovering value of encounters.

Love to walk to places recommended or where may have visited before when last ventured.

 Good thing to engage with new people forging friendships with foreigners who try becoming part of our sojourner.

All happened to myself plenty times. We escape perhaps events of heartache some trauma, bad experience. Maybe not that dramatic it's still escape from all stuff of home environment.

What we forget is our mind takes a sadatical also sees new sites hearing different sounds.

Of course the rhymes of life in different place reach us internally. Then we are inspired by the view others customs , others stories and our shared experience. Becomes inspirational. 

I find in all this journey the chance to simply be blessed while bless others. Not a perspective you read so clearly about in 'well thumbed' travel guides. But been my experience as supped conversations along with various cups of teas and few odd glass of Cisk.

Waiting for Summer to Hang....

The car drove down the vale of YORK as l headed to a garage looking for Oil change the morning started with long drawn out procedure of tablet taking. Then  saw this.

Saw this it was another sign from departed son. Just reminder to say on a day you've felt so close....

..."Hello Dad"....

The Buzzard this one younger seen it same route a few times and it is young so it circled upwards. As you taught me Matty passing on your wisdom but not out of view. .Value your encounters, Value the people, value the frustrations in near further distance relationships.Whose to know where your time here may go.?

I'm one of those people who sits waiting for Summer to hang, for Autumnal weather on warmest summer days. Like the darkness periods strangely already dreaming heading to Winter sun. 

It's been such busy period at time in my Life when should be downloading my presence still working on funny sorts of ways. So should express gratitude for the others who bless myself. 

So Faith football friendship and relationships, Gatherings and still learning. LIFE.
