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?
