Wherе was I when childhood died And manhood came to take me...

Days of ice creams, chilly waters in the middle of summer, soul music playing loud enough to hear but not intrusive, paddling a boat. Looking at the girls and your first loving conversations. Childhood 1968.
First football match Hull city V French side Nice. Iced drink of watermelon, burger with cheese. A bus ride, pocket money and stuff taking home. Slice of pizza and glass of coke. Talks about preparing for a Halloween trick. Childhood 2026.

Beds of grain and sheets of rain

And hold tight nights of thunder

Owls that hoot and Lash Larue

And heroes gone asunder

Nightmare fears and grandma's tears

And gingerbrеad to bake me

Wherе was I when childhood died

And manhood came to take me

Saturdays alright for....lots of things ...

Tend too try not get results till watched the old classic ..'match of the day'... Treat yourself TV stable. If lucky that should be breakfast treat in early hours of Sunday. 

Looking forward to supplementing the day of the Lord with period among local Church folk. Worship songs prayers and biblical discussions.

Health leisurely pursuits been good in the gym today despite the system error of AI generated sounds vulgar, loud creat aggressive undertone. Further staff young tending get upset when older people challenge them about volume. Yet sending tweets plus likes to older cliental social media posts. My Biotrax readings showing favourable results including slow gradually losing weight with muscle dexterity developing.

Holistically the weekend been growth present and low key issues addressed. Good connections with friends time of chats laughter.

Kind of kingdom value days when individual growth happening in gatherings with others. Away from a society falling in on itself .

                      Calvery......

Watched this uplifting film, yes it's a tough watch. Mainly about plodding on when to give up is the easier way,for myself it is about Faith when in a place of struggle. Acceptance and battling the Life we live when the tears threaten
 every new born seed.

Damaging daily the social cohesive of British society

What l am witnessing far too consistently is very concerning. It's concerning because l am committed to establishing the Kingdom of God here on earth 

But struggle with accepting the behaviour see daily several times in my locality  mainly two ethnic groupings. Muslims and Africans often from very same group mainly males between 20 to 35 age range.

Like to sometimes have on a cold day a hot drink in pleasant environment occasionally with female friends. They now look around themselves.  If as it often can be in  Hull , full of 3 and 4 of the men from these groups stay round a table with one cup of coffee.

They say
 …." Let's get elsewhere "...
We do. Today l was on my own , this gave me birdseye view. There was only few spare seats , our ethnic groupings, well they would not let anyone with trays of drinks (elderly or female) sit near them. Despite or rather enjoying refusing reasonable requests to allow seating to be used.

They even put own feet, ( on spare seats near by) in way that found difficult and alarming. When challenged by males they made threats. The sense of entitlement was disturbing.

Another African was watching a film of girls being shot and hiding from their captives . Some of the girls in this movie  ?  Visible on his phone while he sat not drinking a drink , when asked,  refused to switch it off. These actions may be acceptable to any liberal minded people.  Got search your mind explore .What message have they decide to send to those infidels that sharing space with...well at moment that space is supposed to be shared.

But l cite them as an evil that's has eroded and has damaged already the social-cohesion of our society. The further work of evil.

Blessed.

 Blessed . We often enter into non formal contracts with each other and certainly as mission oriented holders of the Christian faith. That's a trauma around need to evenglise and purpose of community social commitments. We gather with young people in their spaces on streets corners 

Or we gather with them when enter the project  we have attempted or successful and historically provided. We may want to get to know them.

They may wish to just use the space as a break from parents. We find common ground. It develops.

On the Bus ride the meadows folded onto these beautiful couples of Autumn. The warm soon struggled to exact it's warmth because the chill of the morning remained longer then it has done since the early part of the year. The hedges are thinning out the birds are out later in the morning as nature comes out later now temperatures dropping. Blessed.

I get to see the Buzzard for longer hunting high and low across the damp meadows oddly enough close to Matthews collage. Few friends been in touch with drama plus the excitement of the days they have ahead of them. Blessed.

Hope you can understand the everyday ordinary stuff are huge blessings . So count them one by one. Hold them close thank the lord for people, the places, nature and technical community development you are integral part of. Blessed.

Starting a gathering in the Lords house.

We trying to do Church by starting a gathering. We got time to project  happening the pace is not rushed. Neither is it traditional nor normal. It's a community social non Contract. With our own resources sometimes our own money. Lots of encounters. It's that simple.

This is 2026 in what the Church venue for youth work could look like. Encounters with youth at a period of thier life's when they grow most independent. All at present is a start. Somewhere to be with pizza hot chocolate, kind of a place of safety. Oh yeah the music...that's pretty loud.

“So if you hear something… even if it’s a little thing, you’re at the gym on the treadmill and someone makes a crack, say something.”

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced a public inquiry into the deaths of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, who were killed during the terror attack at Manchester’s Heaton Park Synagogue in October 2025.

My first memory of a visit to a synagogue was to one when as a child went to sing with our school Choir, all really remember leaving stuffed with sweets and enjoyed wonderful cakes.  Later perhaps about 8 years. Going into my first paid employment working for a beautiful human being, who had survived the concentration camps. the camp was actually liberated by the Russians.

Spoke about that event here before plus in my Life often.
This great man who apprenticed myself into Life. 

He made me proud and affected who l am today. Cherish his memory alongside my own precious son.
Hatred begets hatred which further begets more hatred but please don't forget.... now socially acceptable to show disdain or intolerance towards the Holocaust. It begins with words.  “So if you hear something… even if it’s a little thing, you’re at the gym on the treadmill and someone makes a crack, say something.” Labour Party has made “softcore” Holocaust denial acceptable.

I found this to be true even Polish people had open conversation leaned towards ..`oh yeah that's not true`..but don't imaging it is going to be easy to speak up. Will not be easy to suggest someone owns an untruth. Never acceptable to query

a lie or state your truth there will be a consequence and that may well cost.

But going to ask you this are you ready ? Are you brave enough? Are you `conucchies` large enough ?  All around are people trying to rewrite history, challenging every truth. 

• This is the society that begins with dismantling individual values,
•  prevents gatherings where agreement conversation growth and discord happen organically.

When when the individual has been muted, the community meets less often. this happens ...

• The very fabric of society is threatened and eroded..

This is a bit of classic Kevin Waller ;- Its is Life time learnt logic, values presented accepted and followed. Its northern spirituality and Christian ethical teaching ...Also worth look at again.

 Metallica front man James Hetfield took a swipe at artists who use their concerts to lecture audiences about politics during the band's Las Vegas residency. In what could easily be seen as a dig at the likes of Macklemore, Hetfield told the crowd:

"Unless you live in Vegas, you've come a long way to spend some time with Metallica. We're grateful for that. Your travels, the money you spend, the time it took, thanks for coming to celebrate with us,. I just gotta say, Metallica is We are here to forget about all the outside shit. Metallica's agenda is love, energy and heavy music, baby!"

Some rescue news.

Coastguard crews winched down the cliff to get to the four people while the RNLI waited in the choppy water below as it pushed the orange rescue boat closer and closer to the rocks below. RNLI, coastguard and emergency services were praised for their efforts in getting the trio to safety.

Sadly to say know something about this actual situation.l got into a real mess around 10 years ago with much missed Matthew. We had gone looking at the seals. Excited about the wildlife  and Matty was animal crazy. Going through the cave at thornwick bay it was ankle deep while on the other side we suddenly within minutes were knee deep then waist deep in water 

It took courage to get through the cave where the water resided. It was shallowest heading back too the beach. We recovered but learnt a solum lesson. Another of life's dramas we faced. 

North Yorkshire Coast: Four boys clinging to the side of a cave were rescued in a multi-agency operation involving the RNLI and HM Coastguard after becoming trapped by the rising tide.
