wow tell me the one about there is no God

the coulers
sense of time standing still
a surety
wonderful creator



wow tell me the one about there is no God
you know the one where it all just happened by accident
there is no purpose
no loving God who puts on a show like this one

no don`t because l can see sites like this which capture his Majesty
l felt him and can recall the time place date
even though it was many many years ago
the feeling did not leave
it grew




you could not describe me as the finished article
but this l do know
he journeyed with me on my walk through life
Jesus gave me a purpose
l gave back Me

Thank you for making Greenbelt 2011: Dreams of Home so special. We hope you’re missing it already and if so, we have a plan...

live like you are dying



live like you are dying
walking longer
listening more
not being afraid
expecting answers to prayers
holding a vision
hasting this vision
not buying so much
canoeing in the cold
admiring sunsets
loving deeper
forever angel missing all part of the living like l am dying

One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothing can beat teamwork.

music will be one of my last loves

Music was my first love!



It may well be my last.

my fathers death

Last Saturday evening, my Father died at castle hill hospital,the 20th of August around 22.50.
he had had a long illness falling victim of Alzheimer's.
He was surrounded by a loving family when he ended his earthly journey.
A family who led by mum had visited him and were possible maintained his dignity and humanity.
l was impressed by my brothers sisters and mother has they showed myself, (and others l am sure), how to love someone through the illness and to a journeys end.
Tony's life could not have been easy witnessing very close together the death of younger brother and sister (uncle Barry and aunt Margret), along with the death of another brother (uncle David),and his own parents.
These events happened close together in time.
l cannot understand how this grief and difficulties made him feel emotionally.
perhaps this contributed to his own state of mind ,then other health issues?

but he had to cope, l suppose.


My own brother Ian along with other brothers and sister where actually with Dad as he died.In his end Tony was surrounded by his sons daughters and wife.
If death can be nice,this could be described as nice place to die.

A personal view on the August Riots

We build up either good or bad in our relationships with each other
Why do police feel that is any different in the relationship they have with others?
The biggest issue l have had with the police is the way they have dealt with myself as a motorist travelling at 32 miles an hour in a 30 mile zone results in £70 fine, not having my seatbelt on road near my home in Hull results in £60 fine.
Many false accusations unproven arrested bringing some friends over from Eire no charges brought but holding my diary and laptop for nearly 6 months.
Home raided 3 times looking for weapons and drugs, (true if you wanna see the newspaper reports let me know).
Lot of mates have had worse experiences so l have no symphony for them.
Look at the way they handle football supporters, l have witnessed cruel strikes against footie fans when watching Hull city and Liverpool, Everton, Sheffield Wednesday, Grimsby.
It was disgusting watching those watching rioters in action around London and rest of the UK. Built up like Robocop with so much protection yet they acted like chickens and cowards.
l cannot accept the riots where just about looting, there was so much else brought into this act, yet l hear very limited response





Youths were very evident in the riots
But also others not a lot older 30`s and 40`s the looting spread into burning down of property and ruining lives.
6 People were killed and several sickening scenes were recorded for the TV revolutionist to witness
This riot was televised almost as it happened.
WHY.
I live in a very deprived area, and it is worse than when l was starting out in youth work in 1976. As a volunteer at Cott road Baptist, having come to faith in the September of that year.
In 1984 l became a professional being paid to be a youth worker.
l got around £60 a week.
We do not Riot here,
SHOULD WE?
However shops with nothing in them, burnt out vehicles, rows of boarded up streets is the normal.
Lack of Education
Low wages
Decades of unemployment
Poor diets
Single parent’s homes
Jealousy greed violence
Limited resource....... WHY?
Why is this normal?

we planning whitby

We , collectively Youth leader, youths. Planning Whitby day trip.
To canoe, walk,fossil,have chips
but the hardest part is walking up these stairs.

Planed  Whitby day its the only trip we have been able to fund this year a day out.
No residential, no other day trips, just walks in our area
They wonder why 'kidz' are bored, further wish to disturb the scene.
Oh by the way the police look at sites like this, told myself warn persons about the content.
What a waste.

longhaired freind of grass

some of our local wild animals are very sturdy creatures This old girl looks like her horns are close to putting her eyes out.


everybodies having tonnes of fun



spoke to my friend again today this is what he had to say
where goin up in smoke
The problem with social media or the internet is how quickly this information can spread”

Social media and other methods have been used to organise... greed and criminality
even kids that l work with (from very impoverished backgrounds )as young 12 have brilliant expensive phones which they acess info on but they do not assimulate the knowledge well.







lots of interesting views about social disturdances
very strong views from politicains
still feel the need to listen
listen

soon it will be time to reflect
not yet . . . . listen now

nim chimpsky

Before he was a year old, the chimp known as Nim Chimpsky was living with a New York family and could ask for food, play practical jokes and even say sorry. But was he a human child or a primate? Unfortunately, nobody involved in this pioneering experiment could decide.

ears we should listen

ln Luke 8 Jesus says ,`we have ears we should listen`.
That is true today.
l do not agree or approve of looting (even now it appears killing
or riots are taking place). London ?
But when we can reflect and listen we may get a proper grasp around others issues?
listen,
listen,
listen,
but also the rule of law needs to be accurately enforced,
We witness lack of leadership,
Real honest leadership, that has too come from community not leaders, but members.

Eve Of Destruction by Barry McGuire

Eve Of Destruction by Barry McGuire, Eve of Destruction




The eastern world it is explodin',
violence flarin', bullets loadin',
you're old enough to kill but not for votin',
you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',
and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fears that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
and marches alone can't bring integration,
when human respect is disintegratin',
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when you return, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
no no you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

sounds like a whisper ...prophecy ?

London burns as rioters, looters, run amok.Police are deployed across the capital as vehicles and shops are set alight and further riots and upsetting scene in Bristol Leeds Liverpool
sad thing is burnt out shops unemployment ..underemployment..lack of true wage..poor education..is the norm in this neck of the woods.

to start to pray…

We’ll all have to go anyhow
Everyone’s having tons of fun
Who’s gonna take the blame?
He let His Son get close to earth
So we all go up
In bright of day
In bright of day

I talked to my friend again today
This is what he had to say:
You’re going up in smoke,

WRECK OF THE VON TRUMP RETURN 2011

Life is short
The crew of this ship
Lost their life after becoming stuck on the saltwick ridge near Whitby
The back of the boat broke and the ship sank in rough weather


do what you love often
I have not swam around this wreck or walked out to it enough at low tide
when I have its been so inspiring
and fun.
So why not more doing the things you find inspiring?



start doing more of the things you love
open yourself to new things






when i die
life will go on
i hope i have done enough to show others about Jesus
this is my legacy all i need to know my life has been a success.

DO WOT U LOVE

THIS IS YOUR LIFE
DO WHAT YOU LOVE
DO IT OFTEN
LIFE IS SIMPLE
FAITH IS GOOD
FAITH IS PART OF LIFE

START BEING FAITHFUL

LIFE IS SIMPLE

ALL EMOTIONS ARE
BEAUTIFUL

TRAVEL OFTEN
GET LOST
SO
YOU
KNOW
WHERE
YOU
ARE!

a little less

close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
Its a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation aint satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark

mega

was very impressed with the technology some of our youth club girls use of face book and other such social networking
make some dramatic montages of photos and images
me just a smuck who can download odd photo and make a brief comment

know the Lord God on high wants you to

know the Lord God on high wants you to
soar like Eagles.

soar like Eagles.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
