Talking with the unemployed (a series)

Met Darren he got a 1 year old staffer Staffordshire border type dog


A 9 week old son

A girlfriend

Unemployed

But before we strive on in our minds with a view

Prejudice

What choice is there?

What opening

What do this young family expect of life?

Where is the sign of a caring God?

That sounds or may sound bitter or blasphemous

Has we spoke l felt powerless

Often l have felt powerless

But this was l do not know how to point you to HOPE

I encourged him to explore collage and a profession

How lame did I feel?





….speaking to J earlier the same day…he been put out during the day to make him go and look for work..

Is that right or wrong of his parents. . . .Irrelevent..As there are no jobs…

But the tensions in that home above the normal teenager /son/parents…bigger due to the lack of opportunity..

J will drink more maybe try some drugs..

This is the quite fizzing face of youth unemployment

I see and live among.

Where is the Hope?

No comments:

l predict a riot . . or a least lot of unrest.

'I know a lot of people across the country in all walks of life took a bit of a kick on the shin with that Budget. You lot got a knee in...

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"
