Shortening winters day …well its not.

Today's a bit quiet as we feel again the frosty bite of another chill in this `too long a winter`, young nephews gone to school clutching a Valentine posse for his new school crush not sure how that will be received.

 Life can feel pretty tough. Money can be tight. Doors can feel closed. So if we can really should try make the table we sit, eat our food around a little bit bigger with place for another. its really that simple. So its up to us, try to be kind.

In winter's loaded garment keenly blows
And turns her back on sudden falling snows,
To go where gravel pathways creep between
Arches of evergreen that scarce let through
A single feather of the driving storm;
And in the bitterest day that ever blew
The walk will find some places still and warm
Where dead leaves rustle sweet and give alarm
To little birds that flirt and start away.

Come to understand that we can easily be bullied by even old female folk. Yes that old statement the Church folk gang. So it started simple innocent enough, "my brother tied to strangle me, after we had thrown water over each other".

This led to firstly view that the brother had become held by a demon then quickly became issue identified with old 600 year old building no longer holding sacred people nor sacred position. We do that. We do that real well. Slaughter others who do not agree with our view you see every action which is unkind or even disturbing doesn't mean its posed of devil. We can be unkind unthoughtful lack concern for others. 

We have something in the faith of following Jesus that is greater than that in the world. Better then wicked ways of economic grabbing spoilers the political elite or simply very awful neighbour. We have to share this faith journey because we have something bigger plus better. Kingdom values of Jesus. Perhaps l am as guilty as the next person of not recalling there is something bigger better waiting in the Life after Life after death.

Yeah l know still getting my head around what the early Christian followers of Jesus accepted there is LIFE after LIFE after death. YOU see LIFE is about connection about being kind to others as best as you can. Also about connecting with others who do not agree with, either like nor accept. Hell bent on sending others to hotbed concentration camp which they decide who gets there. Yeah sometimes gotta eat with them at same table.

Focus.

In the silence....find your focus......slowly something we do not do enough.....observe image's coulers...can l repeat them carefully can this individual transfer that image as l slow down....

Should l become more aware of my own being. I should become aware of my breathing...the pace of LIFE living presently. . . .Focus...all that other stuff is becoming processed.

Little excerise in becoming more focused. Like a mind gym game.

It's been the longest winter without you.

After "seemingly incessant rainfall" in recent weeks, temperatures are set to take a tumble again. The Met Office has issued a snow and ice warning for parts of East Yorkshire as colder conditions move in later this week.

Art inspires a bloke like myself whose grown up mostly in a position of powerlessness working among vulnerable, young, blighted areas. Impoverished following a religion called Christianity. 

Yet in Art see beauty.

In art see inspiration.

In art feel challenged.

In Art all Art as l know this subject see the creator.

Like when l have my days away. Go into God's great big Cathedral called Nature feel the Silence. Gain my focus feel different like the cold chill wrap up against

Sense of liberation when walked for one hour in this place often by the coast. A cruel windswept stormy cold wintry experience it's been since November. Still today and tomorrow it remains bitingly cold, wet, uncomfortable. 

But we will walk in nature. We will be inspired by Art. Enjoy you (like me), in some form have access to both. Enjoy.

" Definitely is a friend,”.....Sorry pet its not

When you don't communicate tend to feel undervalued. further start to cut yourself off and away from others. Young people we have been informed started to make an... AI BOT.. so they can get affirmation.

Apparently you can model such devices on your mobile communication so that can get the type of response you require, Government along with third sector results are informing us that chatbots are fulfilling demand unmet communication services.

Well that means talking to each other and engaging with conversations that are honest, open, plus bring into the discord silences. The looking at each other further when required stating unfavorable Reponses. While also been stated that (Young people plus children) find providers lacking in empathy. The supposed privacy of the chatbot is another key factor in driving use by YPC.  

 "Definitely is a friend”...No am afraid it is not, in fact its not even real. Witness more and more as the cutback of all services to Young people and children are cut down further not provided. We discover that the group are seeking support in dangerous plus unreal networks. Further this cohort of YPC are becoming detached. So protest is not thought through. Truth is no longer a presence. Silence not considered.

Services are given up on.
Use of common sense is a skill not required.
Funders communicate to provider's of services, as they are seeing lack of users this is a reason to postpone then, end the service.

 ‘Hey bestie, I need some advice’. This generated response will communicate to you in the way you have tailored its response. See this in music used in gyms, choices in supermarkets, BOTS industry responses to consumers issues. AI, its a concern plus very dangerous that making LIFE like a fairytale. Despite no longer being a face to face youth worker, pastorally already know a number of young adults who  feel now trapped. 

Holding a conversation is not a skill. it becomes something we should grow more skilled when we develop and grow. 

 When a chatbot’s advice is a matter of life or death, how can we leave AI to the free market wild west?

Not a surprise that some are turning to technology for help. We have to do better for our children, especially those most at risk. They need a human not a bot.”

ANOTHER AGAIN INQUIRY.

Another inquiry has uncovered deeply disturbing evidence of attempted widespread trafficking of abused young girls to Pakistan and elsewhere.
MP. have asked the Home Secretary to launch an immediate state investigation into reports of such trafficking.

We just don`t seam to move forward our lack of response to the vulnerable and support for children has worsened since the new millennium.

The Political elite have a culture that needs changing from the bottom roots. It's infected with illness that self centered. Sense of entitlement which allows those in parliament to ignore requests not just, not correct and behave towards oppressed groups without compassionate and common sense.

The questions l have are more around why haven't they protected young girls?

Why haven't many supported Maggie Owen and Sammy Woodhouse?

Why has evil even been protected?

What spiritual forces are at work among the political ?

Back to this Life.

My confession.

Frustratingly felt at odds with everything recently to the extent l recognized not liking me. Become too intolerance not granting others grace. Dear friends saw this. Lot of factors come to play in the situation finding myself.

Communications not been easy , felt like the Alien in this strange place. Language was difficult others did not understand what l was saying, others were having this problem communicating as well. But also some elements where being difficult. That was proven. I found myself gossiping a bit that's not my call. It's not what  favour.

But also found myself giving out  plus spending hour or more with a problem that was vexation. The topics not wholesome. Someone pointed out that got little Mysophobia something of neuron behavioral condition where emotional response to noise pollution create discomfort.

Time got wasted, moments got lost wasn't able to recover the period lost which added to my further sense of frustrations. But didn't seek God, wasn't staying in the focused ways l'm used too. Now that two things happened.

1:- Others noted corrected my behaviour. I agreed .
2:- seeking return to the Lords focus.

Now these things happen to us all mustn't bury ourselves or punish ourselves too deeply. Find the reasons why. Explore your own cognitive sense. It will appear when you reflect.

What have you walked away from.?
Asked myself why was l spending time unwisely.?
Have a walk with Jesus, in God's cathedral, pray and come back.
