the stuff of worship

Worship is this thing about stuff
way we live life
not `kumba ja my lord` with guitars and eyes closed
its more like the music we listen to
the relationships we form
the style of experience's we hassle our way thru
the tough choices we make
the uncomfortable stuff
mess
THE BEAUTY WE SEE
HOW WE LOVE
SERVE
DEAL WITH OTHERS ALSO MUCH MORE
spirituality does not exist in a vacuum
nor is it confined to Sunday service for one hour

aspirition and beliefs

At this point in the season Hull City can only claim to have 4th best squad, manager in the Championship; Or perhaps the table is lying!

People  talk about statistics and  performance, that's not relevant, it is the score when the referee blows the whistle that counts, every football fan knows that.

The factor missing is the conversion opportunities into realities,

Hull City have created an impressive number of goal scoring chances but they have failed to convert So we are no longer in the automatic promotion place`s.

That a fact. If Steve Bruce and his squad can start converting those opportunities in a more consistent fashion then there is every chance that Hull city will end the season with a successful promotion,

However at the moment that an aspiration, a belief, and it will remain such until actions on the pitch mirror the words in the media.

sometimes its thinline and it cold

Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last I often dream of heaven and I know that  . . . .  there
I know that they found another friend
Maybe  found the answer 2 all the April snow
Maybe one day I'll see my  . . .. again
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
But all good things, they say, never last

sometimes it appears to me Kevin
that its a really
`thinline between heaven and here`

that's real normal to become a bit disheartened
like great days come the sun shines and you appear not to have a care in the world
but sometimes it simple not like that
were not on fakebook
 pretending that days are always fun and we look fantastic
lets not be fake because sometimes
 even now its cold and it can snow in April

What your excuse

Moses stuttered.
David’s armor didn’t fit.
John Mark was rejected by Paul.
Timothy had ulcers.
Amos’ only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
Jacob was a liar.
David had an affair.
Solomon was too rich.
Abraham was too old.
David was too young.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
John was self-righteous.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a murderer.
So was Moses.
Jonah ran from God.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
Jeremiah was a bullfrog;
Just kidding — he was depressed and suicidal.
Elijah was burned out.
Martha was a worry-wart.
Mary may have been lazy.
Samson had long hair.
Noah got drunk, and that’s not all.
Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
But God doesn’t require a job interview.
He doesn’t hire and fire like most bosses,
because He’s more our Dad than our Boss.
He doesn’t look at financial gain or loss.
He’s not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging,
sassy, or brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need.

Easter reminds us love not a victory march,it's cold and broken hallelujah, . . . from the cross cry hallelujah

Easter reminds us love not a victory march,it's cold and broken hallelujah,from the cross cry hallelujah 

 

Hallelujah is actually two words hallelu meaning (practically meaning), honour worship shout ,and jah is shortened version street meaning, Yahweh.

so its praise God.

pictures to follow

missing missing missing
one thing l looked cool in...my best jacket

Was it so long ago

The singer says turn a different corner and we never would have met

Or you may not found faith

Perhaps a different family

Defiantly more valentine cards

Hair could be bit longer more easier to manage 

Even make the day a bit brighter

Some fashionable clothes to wear

Different car to drive

better employment prospects

But should I have turned a different corner and we would never have met

Then again "Simply no"

As another singer laments

Simply no 💘

Fun with the Archers radio programme or maybe not fun

                                         So back in my mind to 1974 just starting work

                   At the same time every day the life 

        The work

Even the world slows down

                               Real slow 

As the Archers comes on the radio

Like a love affair

It remains

BUT

As so much changes so recently has the archers it become eastendrualers yes that's right

Domestic violence over 9 months `long time in radio land`?

It dragged on

Stirring ...stirring . . like a toilet brush removing fescues that's stuck

When you reflect.maybe tweet or comment Facebook

l bet like me you`ll You get a lot of abuse

It's simply this

It's radio and we listen for fun. to be entertained

Not to be sermonized

So the funs gone and it appears like me,so have many other listeners

Aries March 21st 1956 Liverpool born your stars for today

If it's your birthday today

Then the money worries shoulders so long will not be removed

The age around your eyes will not be  softened 

As fashion change and the love flows away

There is still alive a memory

Chains holding you are ready to be unshackled as sure as that trailer by the sea

is still awaiting

A Lone figure still walks near a phone box somewhere

Awaiting a call that says "how do you always know just when to call".

So make that call

Enjoy the love waiting

Face tomorrow more loved valued and appreciated

Sad at the very least gutted....emotions

Please cut the crap every month with "we were the better team"every freckin week same old same old if we are constantly better team why are they four worse teams above us Cut The Crap

Piss In da church

The church car park areas became a public convenience this afternoon and evening, with rows of people constantly waiting to urinate by the boundary wall

"This year we held meetings with police, added extra public toilets, got ambulances on site. Having said that 20,000 people in the pjazza is way too much. We are going to make it very clear with the authorities that we are not happy," the mayor said.

Parish priest Fr Claude Portelli said he was disappointed by the shameful behaviour seen in the afternoon and the evening.

As the bee gees sang

"I'm going nowhere somebody help me if you can"

World going one way 

Decent honest people who not self centred going another

The archers and the DV issue

Certainly, Rob and Helen's relationship is unusually plausible and his careful undermining of her confidence subtly, cleverly and creepily drawn. Subtle... clever... creepy... Did I just say that? About The Archers? I don't know who I am anymore.

Great listening and the emotions

The drama

The awfulness 

Hurt

Fear

Agony

Fill my room as l listen and grips me

However not stirring me to anything else

It certainly spoiling the listening experiance for others who have switched off

The debate rolls around wether or not this is the correct medium for running issues like this

It also l think about the suitability of long drawn out drama

Is it real 

Would other have seen and come into the situation

Like a soul song whose emotions l understand

As the singer asks 'have you seen her' 

Just listening but l know that sentiment 

The drama pulls me in l cringe hurt feel uncomfortable 

Then l have to switch of and get on. With  life

The Noel live each day 

With all the drama that brings

I want a Budget that helps the poorest in this country, that creates jobs, that encourages local authorities to build council housing, and that shows that there is a sense of the reality experienced by those living in inner urban areas. If we do not provide jobs for young people, we will reap the whirlwind.’

Yahweh

Agreement to expand mixed-gender prayer space at holy site would cause ‘spiritual damage beyond imagination,’ says Rabinowitz.

We need to be clear.

Those following a 'false prophet', are doing just that.

Someone who injected themselves and that wicked, vile,oppressive religion with its hatred of others.

It's Daniel of biblical and scriptural truths.

Has no place alongside other faiths

Allah is not Yahweh.

If that was the case then God almighty got it wrong.

The false prophet was not called ,commissioned, by the Almighty.

He who was involved in violence every 6 minutes for the last 13 years of his life, is a false prophet.

Denies the Jesus of the Gospels.

God of the Old Testament.

The false prophet and his deluded followers must be kept apart from all on the Faith journey.

False prophet has questionable roots

Wicked vile oppressive.

No place in modern spiritual pilgrimage.

Vinyl in museums it be me next !

Who would believe that stuff, That l still use end up in a oldie world expedition. 

Hey

Not dead yet.

Talked often about love of Vinyl so surprised to see in a show about old world yesterday.

The above selection of Vinyl for the junkies

Got quite nostalgic  . . . . .tearful even

Suppose just passing  .   .through experiencing this thing called life .

`Hip hop` as l was in conversation also

Not about albums but the tracks =

LL cool jay     I need love

Fugues.          Killing me softly

Jazzie             Summertime

Some albums that l own got good track listening,

 like "miseducation of Laura Hill"

Jazzie z, "original gangster"  of course Gill Scott Heron- "I'm new here" (remix)

But mostly a track influenced by events that coincide Riots, poverty,

Love, lack of love, oppression all find statement in lyrics and rhyme 

IF WE GET SIDELINED

IGNORED

 FORGOTEN ABOUT

WE FEEL

WE FEEL

FEEL

.......

not very good at the least

3 games this week that's a lot

Well it appears that quite a hill to climb

But there be Gold I them there hills

Here we go again 

The emotion

The drama

The excitement

Watching

Listening

Reading about

Life

A part of life

This precious thing we live

Enjoy the life

Not meaning to offend

Sometimes just clear there a force, purpose, nature, Loving God,

Father behind all the day brings...guess that offends some.

"When you're doing your laundry and you see gravestones, you realize that 'I'm not going to be here forever.'" 

My journey,pause,and ask! as l drink cup of tea

The bus driver from cirrewerra to valatta is a Burnley fan,again l sit as so often in my life,embarrassed Hull City FC supporter,it feels such small world when you are red faced and disappointed in tigers football team.

Emotions like disappointed,sad,unhappy,embarressed.

These emotions fall away as real dramas and life others experiance crosses my path.

I now sit in. The warm safe,drinking cup of tea,an everyday occurrence for myself.

All of that 

Safe

Warm

Well Feb

Chatted with friends

Prayed

Journey in faith

As the day pulls away from the morning into a glowing afternoon l thank God

Struggle what can l do 

What is it l need to be doing about the situation of others

I cannot claim to love God and be a follower f Jesus if l am content to watch the struggles of others

Pray that God will show me what l can do!

EMBARRASSED BY HULL CITY LAST EVENING EMBARRASSED

 EMBARRASSED BY HULL CITY LAST EVENING EMBARRASSED

You kidding

From a street painting displayed in Mehillia

The face is real

The hand rest on her shoulder 

Grace flows with the tears that are mingled into hair that wash the feet

Do you see this person here

Do you feel what they are engaged in

Are your tears flowing mingled down with your own emotions

Who do l grieve for this day

How many of my tears hit the ground uncounted

Prayers unanswered

Again l pray

Please God in your grace hear myself

Stop pause read the world reflect

Time to Stop.          Pause read the world reflect

No process

No performance          

Actually take a break. 

Turn off the stuff of busyness: your email, phonecalls, conference calls, texts, twitter and facebook. 

Remember God and rest in the peace that He gives.

Be fully aware of Him and you and how you are not the one who keeps the universe spinning.

If ever you don't feel valued

If you ever feel unimportant.. .take out a brand-new £10 note,next put it on the floor rub it,put dirt on it, moments ago it was worth £10. It was brand new. But now it’s got dirt on it and it hasn’t lost its value, it’s still worth £10.’ Now crease it up and unfolded it. Look at it... ‘It still hasn’t lost its value. It doesn’t matter how dirty or how creased you think your life is, you have never lost your value in God’s eyes.’

Coming soon new way of growing emerging Church in Easington

Group work small, mentoring/discipleship classes never been high on the Durham Easington district churches. Despite essential to the heart of our life as a church. Such small groups provide the perfect context for friendship, care, challenge, discipleship and leadership development in the Christian Faith.

Which provides clues to real lack of authentic Christian growth in that area.
Further the place of `Freemasonry` as life choices more indictment. 
Following discussion, perhaps some of us going to grow a `house Church` meet needs, OR needs must.

Let's turn towards the story of Easter and Jesus

happy days are here again in the grim North east

The North East as a region has the highest suicide rate in England and is second to Wales for Britain. There were 13.8 suicides per 100,000 people in the North East in 2013, 

 The areas mental health recovery team will cease to function.

More further cuts are going to severely impact on mental health services, domestic violence services, decent homes provision, services for the elderly, disabled and young, libraries, leisure centres and museums; 

540 jobs will be lost and on top of it all there will be a 3.9%  council tax increase generally in the north east families and individuals will be £750+ worse off

Altogether now happy days are here again
