Journalist: What is your priority if you had to choose between hanging on to what you’ve got or bringing somebody in?

Steve Bruce: Hanging on to what we’ve got. When I look at our squad today, we’ve got 24 players and a very good squad which is why we’re sitting where we are in the table. We need to keep a hold of that and, as I’ve said, if there is anybody who can improve us then we’ll try and act. Keeping hold of what we’ve got is key, though, and I’ve said that from the outset. With three days to go, touch wood, nothing has happened and if I get my way, nothing will.

Altogether now 

Come on you hull 

In my little town

In our town this morning there is wide spread damage from the wind and elements of the weather 

Also been a lack of clearing up from previous issues 

Their are chimney falling of roofs

Roads closed been that way for several months

Rubbishy stuff most streets along  . . with the dog po?

why cant people clean up the shi$$$teeee they deposit?

It appears that there is no longer a desire to keep the environment cleaned 

But my town could be any town in the northern part in the UK 

Again they talking about council tax going upward 

We don't appear to take pride in our locality 

The long term unemployed people who have been in poverty cannot muster strength or energy to try

Life mundane existence has sucked out the energy and goodness

self help and my help

The self-help movement has developed into an eleven billion dollar industry, attempting to show people learning how to help themselves. There are more than forty-five thousand self-help books in print.


often we call inwardly saying,we just want to do it ourselves. We got ourselves into this situation; I’ll get myself out of it.
sometimes we can other times we get ourselves deeper
so


“If you want to be blessed, you’ve got to be poor in spirit. You’ve got to get to the point where you recognize your poverty and you say, ‘God, I need help.’
although l suggest its not a poverty of spirit but a strength to ask for help.
working with young people they (like aged persons) they are more open and l suggest more vulnerable, hence they will indicate when needing help.


MY SHELVES HAVE LOT OF COUNSELLING AND GROUP DYNAMIC BOOKS
ALSO ADVOCATE ACTIVE LISTENING TO EACH OTHER
ALONG WITH THE NEED TO BREATHE
TO LET LIFE HAPPEN
ALONG WITH THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND OUR SPACE


MY FAITH IS IMPORTANT

The Message Paraphrase of the Bible in Matthew 5:3,

Jesus said this >.

 “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.”

we need to say

Help me!” Blessed are you when you can do this ,it a spiritual attitude asking for help. also it can be uncomfortable

Birds in Vallatta

According to Birdlife CEO Mark Sultana, a record 10,786 white wagtails (Zakak Abjad) were recorded at Great Siege Square and St John Square during an annual count last Saturday.

“This year was a special year, with an influx of white wagtails visiting our islands, which coincided well with a decision not to prune the trees these birds seek every night,” Mr Sultana said.

“Thousands of birds flying in to roost is an amazing spectacle. We hope it encourages people to visit the city in the evenings to spot these beautiful birds.”

Words with actions best evangelical tool

What do people in this nation know and believe about Jesus? What do they really think of his followers? 

Are we talking about Jesus enough? 

when we are, are we drawing people closer towards him, or further away?

These are just some of the questions the Church of England, Evangelical Alliance and HOPE commissioned Barna Group to ask, But this was not just for curiosity's sake. We believing, hoping praying that this study - the first of its kind - 

will be a major catalyst for effective and focused evangelism in the years to come.  

Not sure if it the first of its kind Merceurope did ton of this stuff along with very any other projects

So the social scenes are out there 

It appears to be missing the most effective tool for evenglisum 'words with actions'!

THE JOURNEY

Full of people accepted in the organisation
like me, for example.
On a journey, a struggle, a place, a big hope

meanwhile

Marlo is far more comfortable living “the life of kings” as the leader of his own organization than living the life of a businessman that Stringer so desired, despite the fact that he is just another cog in “the game” as a drug kingpin. The fact that Marlo came so close to legitimize himself only to go back to his corners confirms that there are no real “winners” in the game — the kings just survive to play it the longest

A good week for Hull City,great start to the new year.
Its nothing till the last minute of the last game of the season,
till then we build something here.
Like life l suppose we all be building till our last breath

TV and me inspector M....

Montalbano was always Luca Zingaretti. Anyone in Italy and abroad thinks of him when picturing the character.

Needless to say he always interpreted Montalbano perfectly, giving back all the complexities of his personality.now complexities might be simple l feel the guy has some manly emotional literacy and perhaps a few Bi Polar traits

Salvo Montalbano isn’t a simple character, many ambiguities distinguish him.that perhaps what attracts so many including myself to his character and the stories

He really loves women but always ends up running from them, will he marry his lifetime love Livia,well they say he does,these character traits well they make him uneasy and insecure, around woman.

Well l been watching the Young version as well as the original and it's great fun

Reminds me all the time of another Mediterian country all the shutters on the houses

The walled streets

The food smells customs and culture

Love the beach scenes and the sea that the character goes swimming in love it really do

Pure escape for me and l get so engrossed

Don't watch a great deal of TV but also read the books

Today l even downloaded 

Sorry that's the only way l could get the track Ollivia sellerio music track

I'm just st gonna listen to the music this evening perhaps watch on DVD then fall asleep

cold bird bath

cold bird bath this weekend

A six-goal hammering of the opposition at the KC Stadium, including some brilliant goals, was topped off by the club's two closest rivals for promotion going down to surprise defeats.

Having beaten Charlton 6-0 at the weekend, five Hull City's players made the Championship team of the week.
Moses Odubajo, Robert Snodgrass, Sam Clucas, Mo Diame and of course, the hat-trick man Abel Hernandez have all made the XI not sure if that a record but very good

despite the awful chilly weather and the poverty many of us experience in the northeast
it was a nice feeling when the results came along on Saturday afternoon
worry about the cold when you get up in a morning and go to bed cold


But the entertainment of a football game made the day feel brighter
Along with Hull city result and this win other results where favorable
long way from the 3000 crowds and very seldom wins we encountered when l was a boy supporting the Tigers of boothfery park

I cried

Yesterday l was listening to Radio 2

A topic about acid attacks

I found myself welling up ,stopped and l cried

Looked at my book shelf and smiling from the cover of 'It gets better'was inspirituonal Katie Piper

said this before and l repeat one of the best and most moving books 

I have ever read,it should be essential in schools as men struggle with identity

So much learning that's my humble view

Felt stupid 

then felt fine  . . .about my emotion

yes you know what I cry  . . when we treat each other so much inhumanity

We have such potential for good

Often we use our potential for hurt and pain 

It's cold

But then it's winter

It going to get better

Actively listen to the day unfold

Listen to the radio

Listen to your music

But the best listen is one we give to each other

Another good listen the sea along the coast as the waves crash against the beach

You're missing, when I close my eyes
You're missing, when I see the sun rise
You're missing

Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?

Morning is morning, the evening falls I got
Too much room in my bed, to many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing

God's drifting in heaven, devil's in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops

The world really needs a new Rocky film        
who would have thought still be churning out 
what is actually poor story very poor acting   
                    only in America                            

CUM ON u `ELL

"It's a wonderful achievement for a team that's just been relegated, to have 50 points from 26 games," Bruce told the Mail. "There's a long way to go. When it gets down to 10 and nine games left, let's hope we're around it."

what prayers of mine have been answered?

Great views even when cold snowy and chilly

Friendships

Family

Simply having enough

Healthcare l receive

The bible and reading

Relationships

Journey l am still making

Faith and how it got me here

To all the friends l have met before and those still to meet

Issues l wrestle with

Music

There`s been a Few unanswered prayers . . .hope that they will be answered...however acceptance when not . .its called Faith

serious well l am

cant follow why someone tells others via social media, if they don't read this book they cannot be serious about Christian life style.
this is someone who appears to tell others that their lifestyle is wrong
Jesus will decide that he will guide and steer by the holy spirit
that good enough for myself
sure l might recommend a book
may pour platitudes on something l have read
or better still
something listened to and something l heard
but to say
you cant be serious about the Christian lifestyle if you don't live like me
read like me
dress like me
worship like me
that's ignorant . . . .its also rude....abusive
but hey character shines through

Fantastic day best of 2016 so far

Sun been shining

Bitterly cold

No breeze

Fresh

Chilly

But walking is doable

Had great walk along sands at seaton Carew 

Prayed 

Walked

Thought

Felt really good 

Some views do change

The wind turbine at Redcar facing the beach l am walking along

Yes this winter already feels long

May l suggest we still got a long way ahead as this season progresses

Nites come early days feel short

But good walk makes me feel alive

Can no longer do great distance

Already know l am slow

But the challenge the fun remains

A simple pleasure enjoyed by many this day

Thanks to the creator making it all fun 

I need to read more

Also need to stay warm

Got some medical news

Money to tight to mention 

Wanting a visit to Malta

Really will pray more

Enjoy learn from the good book

Listen more

Listen more

Will read more

Stay warm as well 

That me for a cold midweek in cold January 2016

They don't get to win

Mouthing yes, yes as we toddle toward the light,

Biting her lip if we teeter at some ledge. Longing

To sweep us to her breast, she hopes for the best

 While the father storms through adjacent rooms

Ranting with the force of Kingdom Come,

Not caring anymore what might snap us in its jaw.

 Sometimes,  what I see is a library in a rural community.

All the tall shelves in the big open room. And the pencils

In a cup at Circulation, gnawed on by the entire population.

 The books have lived here all along, belonging

For weeks at a time to one or another in the brief sequence

Of family names, speaking (at night mostly) to a face,

Sorry a famous singer died
sorry for his family.
Really sorry some feel 
that it is more important news
the those starving in Syria.
It
not
though
is
it?
Will someone tell the BBC!

Gotta ask,

 Does anyone know when the state funeral for Bowie will take place, will ordinary public get tickets ?

CUP WIN FOR TIGERS

Another cup run beckons
well maybe not
but still enable the gloom to lift
as Hull city beat their opponents 1-0
the other northern teams did not survive the third round
Middlesboro lost as did SFC NEWCASTLE and Hartlepool

Malta is an affordable Mediterranean playground with a superb climate, sublime beaches, megalithic temples and a distinctive crossroads culture. English is one of two official languages, but few Americans have discovered Malta’s charms. There are three inhabited islands to explore — Malta, home to buzzing Valletta, a Unesco World Heritage city of stunning limestone buildings; Gozo, more tranquil and with a dramatic coastline filled with great spots for diving; and idyllic, car-free Comino, which has one hotel and few residents.

As Valletta celebrates its 450th anniversary this year, the old city has gotten some fresh touhes, including a new city gate, a restored open-air opera house and a new parliament building, all designed by the renowned architect Renzo Piano. And in Malta, you can follow in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who spent their honeymoon shooting their latest film, “By the Sea,” in Gozo, which served as a more economical, but equally romantic, stand-in for the South of France. (You may also recognize the island from “The Whale” or “The Da Vinci Code.”)

I WAS DREAMING

IN MY DREAMING!

I WAS HOPING

IN MY HOPING!

THE PEOPLE IN THEIR POWER

CAN "UNDO THE WORK OF FOOLS"

my heart problem

Ejection fraction (EF) is the fraction of outbound blood pumped from the heart with each heartbeat. It is commonly measured by echocardiogram and serves as a general measure of a person's cardiac function. Ejection fraction is typically low in patients with Systolic congestive heart failure.
Ejection fraction is a similar but distinct mathematical model when compared to stroke volume, which (along with heart rate) determines cardiac output, which is the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute. Mathematical models of Volume vs. Time are well documented in the encyclopaedia.


In short


Chronic Total Occlusion, needing   Percutaneous coronary intervention to the right coronary artery
that means l think
chronically with some pain l struggle to get oxygen around my body, due to my heart failing.
some more work is needed to unblock the right Artery along with a artery wit was diagnosed
 around 3 years ago.
medical improvements in prescribed drugs mean the issue can be stalled.
one side effect is that l struggle and get very tired easily.


SO THATS IT IN A NUTSHELL

REDEEM THE WORK OF FOOLS

I was dreamin' in my dreamin'
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleepin' it was broken
But my dream it lingered near

In the form of shinin' valleys
Where the pure air recognized
Oh, and my senses newly opened
And I awakened to the cry

And the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools
From the meek the graces shower
It's decreed the people rule

People have the power

  Patti Smith - People Have The Power Lyrics |




Patti Smith was always attracted to anthemic aspect of rock & roll, and her election year return to action was this hopeful song, a good pop/rock tune with a strong hook. The 12-inch single contained two songs on Side B: "Where Duty Calls," also featured on the Dream of Life album, which reflects on the October 1983 terrorist attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut, and the non-LP "Wild Leaves," a moody ballad.

The people have the power

Play it 

Play it loud

Fools will be beaten

'You can't just say: We've all got to cut back. 

Let's say it loud 

Let's say it often

Let's fight for the right to avoid cutbacks

It can't be done.'

It will not be done

The people have the power

They cannot be defeated

I was dreamin

I was hoping

Saw deserts flow like fountains

The leopard lie with the lamb

Fools can be beaten when the people have the power

HONEST

A spiritual, theological, missional,
 and existential crisis looms


                     SERIOUSLY

ME IN THIS YEAR

God bless all in 2016
Own health not great
Prayers are spoken every day
 Bible l still find relevant
my own Faith still hold
              l
wish the best to you
more theology to wrestle with
lots of issues to face
Journeys to be made
lets hope plenty of friends to be made
         love to be found
               memories to be made

Old Skool music

Waves are huge today perhaps it's because been so over clouded or indeed due to such a lot of rain

Also becoming very much colder

Listening to 'BadLuck' by Harold Melvin and the bluenotes 

Issue singing about stil relevant in 2016

Poverty

Lack of work 

Politicians not to be trusted

Lack of respect to those further down the ladder

But he reflects his trust in God

Great tune

Played  Jade       'don't walk away '

Beverly knight   ' days of the old Skool '

Jackson sisters   'l believe in miracles'

Sound good together

Soul gospel 

Emotions

Drama

Melody

2016 great soul music listening 

2016 starts with a Hull city win

Well it's a real tough league the championship

Loads of drama 

A long season 

Mixed fortunes but after disappointment in the last game we travelled  to London 

Despite The Tigers set for more heartache away from the KC Stadium 

when Abel Hernandez's brilliant opener was cancelled out by Sebastian Polter's header with four minutes remaining, but Diomande's first goal in English football snatched all three points at the death.

It a great feeling and good for all when Hull win great for the economic well being along with the feelings of the supporters

Thank God for all the safe journeys fans make up down motorways 

Thank you Lord
