Questions people ask



When l was a child the biggest terror was getting the cane.
Then the terror waiting when you got home, then got the belt for getting the cane in first place.
Followed by if you don't stop crying you'll get some. More Terror.
Our parents invented it
Pity some of these rave Jihad didn't face parental pressure. Nor educated in my Faith.

So you never hear me
 use God or Jesus or Christ
 without respect 
and with LOVE

BROTHA KEV ON PRAYER

Prayer for me is also wrestling
asking tough questions
two way so l need to believe when l walk the coastal path at 4 in the morning like Wednesday
when l speak and find no answer
God is listening
when l rant and lose my rag words dont flow or form
God is listening
so you never hear me use God or Jesus or Christ
without respect and full of hope
l keep pointing us to this  . .Faith is a lifelong journey!
Wrestling  . .talking..pondering..growing
Dark periods are all part of the journey

Place l call home

starting in my mind to plan and begin
journey where l develop further recover
its  a place of faith
place of peace
place of culture
place of hope
place l call home
but it not how you see it

how l perceive the place

chasing virtues in 2016

even if you had enough money
these things you could not buy

but they can still be purchased


1. Love

the greatest (so others say) love song ever written is `God only knows`
But here the rub it begins with a really negative staement
"l may not always love you" 2. Faith

when most other things have gone this stands
3. Character
you need to develop this in your life long journey
4. Integrity
need to be honest and have strong ethical standerds 5. Compassion
something we must be sharing

6. Forgiveness 7. Trust 8. Respect

over used word and really not sure many understanding
much to do with how you value others their views and property
9. Wisdom 10. Peace
all into short supply these days

PRAYER WHEN THE VIOLENCE IS JUST TOO MUCH

Is nothing sacred anymore
or why am l asking?
on a day of more evil
terror hatred and meaningless violence
Is nothing sacred?
Is nothing Holy?
Are lifes so easily taken?
Where did we go so wrong?
What is going to happen?
Oh Lord hear the cry of the righteous intercede and help us.
We call to you Lord almighty,
Jesus we ask you to turn your ear towards us,
accept our prayers,
answer us Lord.

what is prayer

what is prayer 
when does it take place
well all the time
it a two way communication
active
social
in context
every day every moment

airshow nearby

well its Sunday and time to be family
chilling on the cliffs near Seaham 
watching loads of aircraft spinning
fun its Sunday and need to drink cup of tea and reflect

sad start to new season at Hull city

Steve Bruce resigned as Hull City manager,Friday 22 July
we found out yesterday and were immediately very sad, he was  increasingly frustrated by a lack of transfer activity at the newly promoted Premier League club.
With the new season only three weeks away, and heralded by Hull citys return to the premiership elite, this departure has provoked chaos and dispute  at the KC Stadium. 
Bruce is understood to have left with  heavy heart .His position was untenable further his  relationship with Ehab Allam, the vice-chairman, broken..
Mike Phelan, Bruce’s assistant, was placed in caretaker charge on Friday night.
With Assam Allam, Hull’s owner, to whom Bruce has always been close, seriously ill, and his son Ehab keen to sell up, the manager has been unable to strengthen an injury-ravaged squad. Although Allam Jr has placed takeover talks with two interested consortium on hold until after the transfer deadline, Bruce failed to sign a senior player this summer.
To exacerbate such problems, Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo, Allan McGregor and Bruce’s son Alex have suffered long-term injuries. Meanwhile Chuba Akpom and Isaac Hayden, who were on loan from Arsenal last season, have departed, leaving Hull with around 12 fit and experienced players.
It is believed crisis talks with Ehab Allam on Thursday ended badly ,that when Bruce failed to appear at Cottingham training base early Friday morning, coaching staff informed the players he had quit. 
Intensely loyal to their mentor, they were said to be angry and upset, sentiments reflected by Hull fans who, like the players, had been fearing this moment for some time.

worklessness not useless

presiding over repellent rhetoric around worklessness – yet are doing little to deal with the problem

This government “fit-for-work” tests are routinely, inaccurately judging disabled people as not in need of out-of-work sickness benefits 
one claimant stated “My doctor’s opinion can be legally ignored by the DWP”, and that they – as well as those disabled people who, with tailored support, could work – are being abandoned to a JSA system that assumes they are fit and healthy.

its a long way from here
called the garden of permanent rest
love too be in Paradise bay now
swimming
walking
resting
breathing better
So on the car CD player 
its the Chi-lites
asking what they ask ever summer
"have you seen her"

SUMMER THE UMPTEEN TIME

Weather is warm,hot,sunny
Being English we so not used to this
we breathe with difficulty
complain
The scum nearby smokes dope uses drugs
playing music loud
After the third day many asking `where the rain`?
l go back in my mind"feel the touch of her fingers"

COPING WITH EVERYDAY WICKEDNESS

As the terror and the wickedness creeps into the everyday
what can we do
how can we cope


first l think we need to retreat maybe just for a few minutes
pause
seek God pray
It something some of us do daily anyway so it should be second nature
take time and seek God
ask the holy spirit to come alongside you
think away your own hatred
console oneself
ponder on these things
read a psalm
again seek God
guidance
protection
support
then ACT


How well if your are seeking God it not for myself to answer here
but do all of the above first






Jul 17, 2016

The future might not be what we want
It may not be what we ourselves needed 
But it gets here .....
every new found morning 
The future gets here
One thing l have found to be true

Seek God
Love one another
Follow Jesus

Hang the DJs hang the DJs panic

lets lay a teddy,light a candle,see if that stops the terror

when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.


                   When l ask.` will all this stupidity`
                     Terror, Incorrect behaviour end?

It seamed to start around September the 11th 2001,
Our World has become a much more intolerant place,
Where hatred and evil preside.

Ask what can l do ?
how can l change?
Is there more l need to practice?
Ever as ever, l turn in prayer
In reading,
Further Reflection to . . . Jesus
Lead us lord into new ways
Better ways
Kingdom ways
Lead us heavenly father by your son and through his spirit.

Smoking ban


funny times
 we are living thru
don`t know how others see these days
But somewhere in the Psalms of the Bible
its been predicted
“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”
1 Timothy 2:1-4
With the appointment of a new Prime Minister today, please pray for those in authority.
As Paul says in these verses, we are to pray for those in the Government that we “may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” and that men may be “saved and come to a knowledge of the truth”. Paul is making the point that governments can make it easier or harder for Christians to live out their faith and to share the Gospel.

best of days

l am not best at throwing stuff out made great soup yesterday due to my health issues at present, so its soup and yogurts but the weight gain is medical,           Sleep is disturbed due to pain but been here before.

   Only real struggle that l don`t like is the gasping for breath



Hospitals are great levellers if you ever feel depressed go to hospital witness those worse of them oneself that improve your mood it works for me every time

Also get chance to witness the best of a diverse humanity working to make people like me well and healthy

SHUT UP YOU REMAIN TARTS

WELL HERE WE GO ANOTHER WEEK ANOTHER RESULT WINGE
 WELL IT NOT LEGALLY BINDING
THE BREXIT VOTE
THEY LOST THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO REMAIN
THAT DEMOCRACY WE VOTE
WE OBEY
YOU LOSE

child poverty on the increase

Prophecy is the 

history of the future, 

and the future of history



child poverty is on the increase
why
all about greed
those without local to myself
well
what future for them
several generations are trying to survive
it a wonder many do not riot and gather to violently protest

tolerance is one thing,putting up with living death is quite another

it keeps getting worse

Austerity policies breach the UK’s human rights obligations

As the dust from the conservative partys austerity position was affecting Child poverty
and breaching Human rights
The findings of the eight-month investigation are little short of a public shaming for austerity’s architects. Since the cuts which came about in  2010 ,
we have faced“a disproportionate adverse impact” on the most marginalised and disadvantaged, these include children, disabled people, and low-income families.

The UN also highlighted the UK’s “exceptionally high levels of homelessness”, food banks, and persistent inequality ,
proud to be living in the 5th highest economy in the world

2. Child poverty has spiked

This is the first increase in child poverty (when housing costs are included) since 2011-12    The number of children living in poverty has jumped by 200,000 in a year

well they have to make something new about the people having the power to vote leave
we won
they lost
they cannot move onward

Not the end.

if not OK
NOT THE END

THIS TIME LAST YEAR I WAS WORKING IN ANOTHER COUNTRY
THE WEATHER WAS SLIGHTLY WARMER
THE GARDEN WAS SLIGHTLY GREENER
MONEY WAS SLIGHTLY MORE
POLITICS WAS VERY DIFFERENT
SOMETHING STAYED THE SAME
SENSE OF PURPOSE
NARRATIVE WORKED AMONG
CLEAR VISION
HEALTH IMPROVED


But that was yesterday, and life has to be lived in the here and now.
Throughout my life, my faith been stable
Wrestling with understanding of issues, Alongside the biblical narrative.
Developing a theology, to enable me to develop, further be significant to those around me.
Theology to me just means how l understand God.

King and the Pawn,GO BACK IN SAME BOX

Nothing drags a mission down like wasted time,
Something we all remember is simply this.
I am a person of vision,
but also a person of ill health


“At the end of the day, the king and the pawn

 go back in the same box"

this week is important like rest of this month as l have big hospital appointments

bit frustrated as l feel insignificant around what l am doing with my life

today was a slow start

while Friday

 Saturday

Sunday

all ended early as tiredness overtook me and l had to rest falling  asleep

share that because its life

not the life l wish nor want but it what l have been given

others got worse hand then myself

my significance is to carry on with good humour

Further looking for ways to contribute those around myself


l JUST LOVE SOUL MUSIC

SOMETIMES  GO DAYS WITHOUT TELEVISION
LISTEN TO SOUL MUSIC EVERY CHANCE I GET
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you


 No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby,

 'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me,
My love is alive

 Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
 

Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you


Ain't No Mountain High Enough

really

is it really July
did we still lose in football
are we still serving people in local Foodbank
is life still this slow
did it really proper rain
most of June
did l really look for a thermal top
this mid summer morning
are the political classes still not listening


is the memory of forever angel still haunting myself
Questions
well probably still getting through life
one day at a time
cold chilly wet
normal
sometimes normal not enough
as l write in the Hospital appointments that l must fulfill
this cold wet miserable July 2016
what great picture of Liverpool my former haunt

The Matthew blessing,

  The Matthew blessing, May God grant us enough stupidity to believe? We can go from this place and make the world a better place, May we wi...

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"
