The journey is long and feels slow distant and removed

This time of the year feels cold  . .. .. Long .. ..  ..Slow

Disconnected

          Uncommunicative 

Dispirited

            Like living on Wasteland

Empty

         Without hope

             So very slow and long

Time appears to be on hold and drags     .    .   Slow .   .Cold

                           Where God are you?
l know you but l feel like   .    .    .   .  l don't know where you are?

             Am l looking in wrong places 

                      Or have we drifted

Anchor me as l journey . . . .  .   . .so we will always be tethered

Please my one true Lord

FOUND ALL THE CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES
 MORE AND MORE
NONSPIRITUAL
 VERY NON RELIGIOUS
 GREEDY AND SELF CENTRED
 ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME 
FOR STANDING OUTSIDE
 OF ALL OF THIS

aslo l think few years ago he was regular on `ANY QUESTIONS`

he once stated l believe that he preferred the` Christian version of God`.. because he was more human

 we have to take the blame and behave as we are instructed...

Do bad guys get away?

A Chelsea Pensioner comes out for a stretch and a smoke, disbelieving of the farce of having our own servicemen treated this way. He tells me two of his friends who just received notice they were being investigated for their action in Northern Ireland in the 70's. 

It seems so wrong. The good guys all ended up in the dock. How did that happen?

what an interesting question 

how did the good guys get punished

so

Is it also suggesting that bad guys got away?

where the best place to live

Yorkshire at present well hambleton is 5th

below the picture is what one person 

written view about

how they felt

I live in a part of the UK that is so far removed from the one that I grew up in and felt safe in.  where my language is rarely heard on the streets, in the shops and on public transport.  where I don't go out at night and don't know who my neighbours are or speak their language.

but is this about generation,both comments are from people in the age range 70+

so much fear and distrust in the comments

we all need to try and engage with these issue`s

the question is are the people of my faith going to be relevant?

Health update

Hull City fans have been urged to protest against the club's owners
The Tigers welcome the Welsh outfit to the KC Stadium on January 7 for a place in the next round of the world's oldest association football competition.
The Trust have voiced their disappointment over the club's mismanagement .
Barely a week on from one supporters pitch protest, in which the Tigers fan received a season-long ban the KC Stadium for displaying an 'Allam Out' banner, these supporters via the trust say the time has come for supporters to stay away from games.

I think that`s good idea,
difficult situation for great supporters 
who have done so much in the past 
such fans deserve better

well there is some update following a visit to the hospital yesterday problem is l do not agree with the diagnoses

l don`t have issue sleeping at night it during the day when l get tired and a bit achy 

below is a bit of investigation yes get pains due to my heart condition,get tired but not in the evening.

Need to take my spray ...but Health  not like the test cases l read about

also very little listening done by the doctor ..all about we feel you are this now do this

when it not the case 

 Sore chest muscles. This is a common result of having a more open lung capacity after years of decreased breathing ability. The soreness may subside as your body adapts to its new ability to handle more healthy levels of air intake.

 you realise that people with apnoea go through torture every night because they're not getting enough sleep.

 Suddenly, I was given the energy I had Obstructive sleep apnoea, or OSA, is a breathing problem that happens when you sleep

Apnoea: this means you stop breathing

you really think l am going to wear something like this every time l feel tired

not frecking likely

`Biggles Waller` l dont think!

lets pray for justice, and mercy along with forgiveness in Syria

worrying time and l feel uncomfortable it been really hard time to sit and watch such events

faith of lot people being tested

but this is not God doing its very much a man issue we have done this to each other l need to improve how l think,feel.and act to others it starts there at that moment...others treated the people of Syria awful so God cant just jump down everytime we humans do the wrong thing we have to take the blame and behave as we are instructed...

love God 

love one another

follow Jesus 

SANCTUARY

Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, 'My name is Harold and I am an alcoholic'?

This is one of my most beautiful tracks ..sanctury..by Christian foresure and called Sanctury first heard it listening to a programme about the cruel killing by Islamist of people at Taverstock Square 
it moved me so very much and l like to listen to this  if you know myself recognise that l have very varied music love ....hope you get the chance to hear this yourself via CD or Iplay or other form..ENJOY

ADVENT HUMBUG AND TRUTH

Oliver Cromwell (someone l have little time for) was famous for his banning of the celebration Christmastime during the English Revolution. 
I think it's not unfair to comment that the increased materialistic side to Christmas is a concern for many professionals like myself tend to ensure we have activities for teenagers around the Christmas period,society l feel  not just Christians! have expressed issues with the greed.
Should the Church say more about this,yes ,but we have priests but we don`t have followers of Jesus leading the established Church so dont hold out for any thoughtful prologue soon.
I  agree with Spurgeon when he points out that it can be, other than Easter, the only time when Jesus is given much thought in large swathes of nominal Christianity 

Are you wondering why
No one talks any more
And all you hear
Is the cry for war
Are you wondering if
There are people who
Hurt inside the same as you

Where are we going

What's emerging as we journey often have to ask am l discerning what going on around myself

In society 

In the corporeality 

Even the mundane

Nothing happens unless the conditions are correct 

That old d Bubba believe and Bible says prepare for tomorrow 

We never know what's ahead and we can't simply jump off this thing called life

Not a roller coaster we can stop when our monies or time is finished 

Got to journey

Keep looking 

Keep asking

Keep praying grant oh Lord you and myself discernment 

What a dream the other day GFA and me again often issue in my sleep

Oh well another day beckons another week begins

God bless us all 

my old nite life

Romeo & Juliet's

This former club, which was also named Bailey's and Skyline in its time, used to be on the top floor of the Co-op building in Jameson Street. Dress code was strict, with a ban on wearing denim

worked here repairing the tears in the furniture, met loads of great girls here and listened to major soul and disco as l grew up

of course not mentioned much was NewYork on Anlady road this was our place for

 Northern soul on a Tuesday evening

Trog Bar.

This George Street bar was designed to look like a cave with stone walls and was a pretty big deal big among the rock progressive music fans too low and small for groups but the DJ was fine, heard stuff like steel pulse,dire straits and jimmy lindsey `where is your love now`

Later on in the decade it was transformed into Lasers, where dry smoke was regularly pumped out and you could watch laser shows. It was nicknamed "can bar" as you could save time waiting for a pint to be pulled by getting a can

Tower. 

With no heirs and graces, on Thursday nights you could get a pint for 10p until midnight, which subsequently meant drinkers did not manage to stay in the club for much more than an hour.

The carpet was famous as it had that much beer spilled onto it feet stuck to the floor.

our kid was a resident DJ here for a while

Welly Club here was a venue l DJ and boxed at.

This Beverley Road club was the first to do a regular Acid House dance night in Hull from 1988.

Remembered for being very hot with lots of bandanas and arms flailing everywhere, not much has changed in the popularity on the place.

The music l grew up made me emotionally and spiritually the man l became

here above some of the venues (that are all gone now) Where l was trying to dance and socialise 

Kevin Waller playlist for 9th December 2016

Been doing something l get excited about selecting playlist

 for the next few pilgrim days long journeys in car

Love selecting listening to complete mix up of music

Some dance tracks 

Odd folkie song

Rock tracks

Of course always love songs on my playlist

                               GoD gave rock n roll to you put in the soul of everyone

Very sad letter written recently

Sometimes it the everyday stuff that gets people emotions active.

Like the above sad letter. 

But this is something the writer of the letter has invested in for over forty 40 years, that a lot of time, money, effort.

Also been a family investment. 

The fuller story is he no longer willing to attend a football match with Hull city, and feels betrayed.

It reminded me of the reason many leave the Church, because of simple things like relationships.

Not the bigger practical stuff.

Nor the theology of faith  

But broken trust, feelings.

Simple stuff can sometimes trip myself up, may say wrong thing or do the incorrect thing, in relationships. 

Never set out to offend, but sure have failed in the everyday and mundane stuff.

In asking your grace be offered to any like myself, further l thank you for extending that grace to others also.

the JSA SCUM Killing people

David Brown’s sister told an inquest that he didn’t want to be a burden and had tried had to look for work.

An inquest heard that he had ‘immense pressure’ put on him by the Department of Work and Pensions to find work.

Soon before his death he told his mother: ‘The way the JobCentre treat people, it is no surprise people commit suicide.

hope the JSA are proud

what we need is a list of those staff who have sanctioned people

further list of centres who have sanctioned the most

time for direct action against each person

direct action against each centre 

Muhammad was illiterate. He depended on oral information from Christians and especially from Jews.

FACT just a simple fact about the man and his book

Apparently we offend the great race known as Islam

 by making a programme called peppa pig

surah 2:282 that one man's testimony is equal to that of two women. Surah 4:11 allows a woman only half the inheritance a man receives. Surah 4:34 describes how a husband ought to punish his wife for disobedience: admonish her, 

kick her out of bed, and beat her.

The inexorable rise of in-work poverty. A total of 7.4 million people are in poverty, despite being in a working family – a figure that has risen by one million over the last decade. This is despite record employment and the growth of full-time work. One in every eight workers in the UK is now living in poverty

WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT POVERTY, BUT WE NOT DOING ANYTHING.

DECADES OF TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUE, LEAVES ME TO ASK SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE LEADING DIRECT ACTION

There's a view l share that Hull city entire season has so far been one long mistake.Is the core reason for their current league position -- second bottom and looking like relegation --been effected by the leaving of former manager Brucie. 

There is at my hometown club a perilous ownership issue,former manager Bruce had been hinting that he might leave at end of promotion year 2015. despite in the success of promotion at the playoff final, he stated "wasn't sure" he would  remain. Few weeks before the start of the season, Bruce resigned saying publicly that because of the problems in the transfer market.Then in my view we made a stupid mistake and employed the coach Phelan in a mangers position. 

surprisingly we won first two games,something which astounded the footie world and myself truth be told,since then the Tigers have lost nine of last 12 and are heading down into the lower league.

All very sad in many ways not just inside football but economic and well being fro the city and its culture

who buys reading glasses for their (gotta ask) pets?

Gotta'ask who buys this stuff `reading glasses` for pets?
hahaha,
Yeah know but that what it looked like to me,
Has walked the harbour front this morning.
Cant stop getting up at `o `stupid `o` clock!
Amazing to myself is that  not the only one.
Few of my friends getting up very early,
Mind you its bitterly cold at present.

Once recently

Once very recently the trees were weighed

 with red orange and autumn leaves

It was warm but cool in the evening 

Got up with spring and took a walk to start the day

Praying 

enjoying the views 

Now in what feels very sudden 

It's so very very cold

Winter has arrived 

and l wear several layers of clothing 

I stay in bed to remain warm

It's cold

I do not have any get up to face the day

The winter struggle takes all my energy

Emotions are stifled as l wearily go 

though the motions of surviving

bitterly cold day

Sunday view in cold December

The ways to love starting list below

Give                          time energy ..all you can

Trust                         People in all sorts of ways

Serve                        others and your community

Forgive                     often as you can and receive 

Encourage                 many and your community

Persevere                 your own identity

Respect                     all

Protect                      the vulnerable especially 

Listen                       to others even the dull and ignorant

Share                        you  . .your resources 

Saturday in December

Church commission calls for strip club ban in harsh critique of Paceville master-plan

"Browsing through in-flight magazines on flights to Malta gives the impression that Paceville is a red-light district" - Church's Environment Commission takes aim at strip clubs in harsh critique of Paceville master-plan

Interesting a Malta area, with several issues .

will they be able to address the concern?

has the Church lost its power in such debates

well its worth asking such a question

although l feel the faith of Malta. 

A society changing here also?

That a question that this report will begin to answer as we progress in the months taking us into 2017.

22 days to Christmas's l hate this time of year.

 oohhh bit strong but truth here

excuse the swear word good point of view

liberals load in Kingston down south

Meanwhile on a Saturday in December we learn that campaigning against frecking could get you labelled asa terrorist.from the Yorkshire post found this satement interesting.

Diane Pickering,( apparently she is school’s headteacher,) quickly l suggest,issued an apology, which stated: “Prevent training requires schools and public organisations to be aware of all forms of extremism, but it is not the view of the school that anti-fracking is a form of extreme behaviour and we apologise that the link has been made.”

Oh well that fine but what does she teach when no ones looking into her views.

sometimes our pondering and worship can focus on all that is around us like in nature,we can witness God .
it does n`t mean we walk with our hands out expecting.
Our focus can be directed towards the God
who created all that is around us
Many escape to the countryside hills,sand,sea,walks and ask where is God?
often we are not asking who is God?

feeding with Dignity

The restaurant is the latest initiative from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz – meaning messengers of peace – which was founded 54 years ago by Father Ángel García Rodríguez.

Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless – is simple enough. Its aim, however, is a little more ambitious.

 People with nothing can come and eat here in the restaurant
 and get the same treatment as everyone else

“The inspiration came the pope who’s spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it’s through bread or through work,” said Father Ángel.

“So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths and proper cutlery and waiters? People with nothing can come and eat here in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It’s just common sense.

Dignity a ship we all need to sail on.

seldom do you hear of such ideas but this one is full of dignity

Often Church projects get subtly taken over like a similar venture near where l live,

although the Church where l live is not relevant Having a rudderless direction

 and full of problems from finance to ugly spirituality old cold buildings

this project is rooted working to meet the client base it has always strove to connect with

Again many Faith of Christ project ignore the client base and cater for any but those it was intended to serve

Life to quote is "a dogfight for most people"

Well vanity is one trait l don`t believe l have
 trying to be real and honest about the social environment exist in,
the social condition here is surly blighted.
Life to quote Lady Gaga is "a dogfight for most people" feels like that at times
some comments l make do not get well received glad
glad
glad because in uncomfortable discussion l grow
perhaps it like toothache have to experience to appreciate wholeness
guess what! reading ...lot more..starting early part of the morning.
... actually gonna finish a book soon

Announcements of upcoming disputes were supposedly regularly hung on the door of the Castle Church. But, openly hanging the theses without waiting for a reaction from the Bishops could have been seen as a clear provocation of his superiors. Luther would not have done that because he only wanted to clear up some misunderstandings.

It is also worth noting, that there was no open discussion of the theses in Wittenberg and that no original printing of the theses could be found.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand

Time to go walking along the local cliffs, 

great views and keep me healthy.
