The weather is a major factor as we have had a week of sub zero temperatures.
Many are struggling in the cold
 l feel this weather affects how people think long time and to what depth
Many harbour down and retreat into themselves
becoming a bit more isolated and less involved in the wider community

life
you see its life but not as it should be lived
struggles
we have built community that do not interact
age and youth also affected by this social conditioning

TEATIME

Stupid `o` clock time I fall asleep

Then awaken  are discomforting.

Kevin Waller Spiritofthestreets thank you l really tired to get the essence of her character across

M D

love watching the celebrity big brother programme for those over seas its a reality programme where several kinda well known people,live together.

We watched the group dynamics and Chat via social media about the antics.

Trying to develop our understanding of ploys and relationship breakdowns.

Perhaps may l suggest examining own life in some same context . Wondering how centred l would be among people who at times appear difficult to like.

growth does n`t reside in a place called comfortable.

TODAY EVEN VERY SOON 

I WILL WALK 

THEN  I WILL MOVE MY MIND 

THINK OF 

YOU

YES

THAT`S CORRECT EVEN NOW

THE PROCESS leading to a PERFORMANCE

`well` l said to someone earlier today 

via social media in another country  

  when discussing politics of poverty

MY Waller FAMILY brothers AND MALE NEPHEWS

`that it is the same all over the world 

Rich get richer

Poor get poorer 

Vulnerable remain that way for longer`.

Marco Silva already planning for life at Hull City without Robert Snodgrass. The manger of my home town footie team  Marco Silva has started to plan for life without Robert Snodgrass after accepting our top goalscorer and attacking talisman will not turnout for the City any more.

It really sad to witness, as l don`t believe the best is being done for the community of Hull with quite a few players moving on.

Further the team and the supporters appear in complete turmoil.

Yet today we are in a semi final cup competition.

Now for some theology and deeper thinking. In my country and this has been the case for last twenty years,

There is, in my thinking a three-cornered battle for the public space taking place. 

Between Christianity, secularism and Islam.

But it not equal,in my view and my reflecting brings me to accept that secularism wears down the faith of Christianity with its relativism and hedonism,cult of celebrity,moral and ethical standouts. 

Commentators and Authority especially BBC and the LGTGBI communities have discovered that Islam offers a useful leverage against the claims of Christians. But we are not allowed a debate that challenges false teachings and abhorrent views of this false religion.

What we might be finding is that as Christianity retreats, something that been happening for around 50 years, we have compromised and confused, both ourselves in the Church plus worse others outside of faith.

 Many have given way to the relativism, In the future Islam will turn on secularism, resist it and overwhelm it.

That a whole lot of challenges coming our way

some of it is already upon us.

We need to follow the teachings of Jesus,taking his words very seriously or not at all.

Build strong faith communities, then support each other.

We must debate falsehoods, challenge for more equality.

Further must be very careful who we choose to be in partnership with.

Present biblical truth and portioning our arguments,which must be well researched.

Process  faith and perform the following of Jesus imperiously.

morning a new day

The birds sit chittering in the thorn,
   A’ day they fare but sparely;
And lang’s the night frae even to morn,
   I’m sure it’s winter fairly.

Up in the morning’s no for me,
   Up in the morning early;
When a’ the hills are covered wi’ snow,
   I’m sure its winter fairly.

unfortunately EARLY MORNINGS  for myself 

I often been a `get up early` type of person

However l get up way to early these days

My health very good really, but

the stupid `o` clock time, I fall asleep 

Then awaken  are discomforting.

Plus hate all the tablets and medication. 

Having expected troubles with Authority. 

Further way they treat sick `those on benefits`

So I retreat and ponder,

walk and think, sit and pray,

not much else l do at present.

In a monotheistic period,

but old enough to know there is a reason!

alongside you and I

there is this view l have
that God is alongside us
when we gasp at the world
ponder at that film
struck by hatred and dislike shown
wild thoughts escape from own insides

the sea will return later today
flowing across the sands
making a beautiful noise as it caresses the pebbles
l listen to the sounds of a beach

maybe we are not so Godless after all

On Monday night,following the incident involving Ryan Mason at the Hull City V Chelsea match. 

the players family released this statement  "overwhelmed" by support from fans of Hull city and other teams "incredibly difficult time".

THE STATEMENT

 "We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and gratitude for the overwhelming support shown to Ryan during what has been an extremely traumatic 24 hours," the family statement read.

"The well wishes and support that we've received as a family from such a large number of players, managers, clubs, fans and everyone involved in football - as well as even from people outside of the sport - has helped to give Ryan and all of the family great strength during this incredibly difficult time.

"We would also like to send a special thank you to the superb medical teams at Hull City, Chelsea, and St Mary's Hospital.

"The manner in which the situation was handled and dealt with was impeccable and we are incredibly grateful for everything that they have done and continue to do".

Further also confirmed in a statement released by Hull City, 

Ryan is in a stable condition and will be continually monitored over the coming days.

Send your best wishes to Hull City's Ryan Mason Hull Daily Mail

                   serpicoserpico said:

God bring rest recovery and complete healing

At the time of the injury many offered prayers and offered good wishes and support for his recovery and good health.
It only a simple thing but in a secular world often when chocs occurs the outpouring is really interesting.
very positive to witness.
why?
when? 
We are  such a Godless society do so many rise up and offer such prayers and heartfelt responses
because we are all made in the image of God.
we are spiritual beings who are best human when we think and wish to serve others

few tips for today`s journey

if you can laugh
but this weather
walk that essential
talk to others
even the dull and ignorant
they too have great stories
sit quietly and pray
remain humble but be proud of all
you have achieved
seek God and follow Jesus
sometimes faith starts seam naive
but your faith journey is more
and more
and more
important

Saturday praying

Lord Above,
Let somebody take the blame,
Lord above, I'm knelling down,
My pray 

take away this pain all up in here.

I'm praying',

 Lord I'm praying' to you,
Take away this guilt all up in my head

I'm pleading, lord I'm pleading with you,
We got some dealings to do before the day is over

“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day

as if nothing had yet been done.”

C.S.Lewis

Sometimes all around us are lyrics, words, and happenings. Reminding us we are not isolated or alone,others are facing challenges and coping with stuff.

Our job is to recognise others struggles even if we are facing many of our own.

recognise others struggles and you will find your own a little bit easier.

The lyrics above in large are adapted from `Plan B-- prayin`

Often l find so many spiritual values in song words from sources might not turn towards in your first thoughts.

Heart felt

Did you know that the heart is in a constant two-way dialogue with the brain,
Further the heart sends more information to the brain
than the brain sends to the heart.
 The heart is also credited with storing its very own memories.
How might these be different to the Brain,
so what we think might not be what we feel.
The Spiritual Heart -- is in a way a little like a smart phone, invisibly connecting us to a large network of information. It is through an unseen energy that the heart emits that humans are profoundly connected to all living things. The energy of the heart literally links us to each other

the spiritual heart is a new expression to myself

l understand it means == how we communicate to each other

how we share as groups

the way we glodaly interact

what l say affect`s you 

how you behave affects myself

but the spiritual heart thinking is this 

that how l feel affects others

the more closer we are 

the more you will be affected

yeah sure l get that

talking about heart matters, l just had to give some blood for a test.

Struggling at present with weight and sleep issue.

But shall grew out of this only, not going to wear an oxygen mask which was latest request.

faith way to find it in 2017

where would l be without PODCASTS
Its where like to grow in faith
then l engage further with others
read more books recommended by what l listen too
this is Church to myself
l can listen 
ponder
reflect
process
then l perform the way my faith has developed
via this medium

l no longer have faith in the local to me Churches 
which are led by those who have become priests
yet they have no Faith of their own
they wanted to be priest in environment governed by free masons
this type of Church is all about control
many attend these Churches and never read the bible
nor are they encourged too
never discuss faith  . . . .growth
nor do they witness

it easy to complain l can hear you comment
but 
l have witnessed
l have worked among
l have seen the damage


faith with out direction
faith without purpose
faith without development
faith unquestioned
faith handed down
faith not growing
                                  well that simply not my faith

                        nor should it be how you grow in the faith

The other day out walking on the hills of the north east coast.
Me and my son came across this guy alone in a field.
He did not move just stood watching us.
We went the other way, life,
Sometimes you can`t take any more bull.

my view CBB 17

Been watching CBB 17 although Preferred programme when analogised behaviour,

 Had some depth with group dynamics explained.

 Instead more crudeness a Geordie slapper getting tits out.

 That type of behaviour was never fun ,nor enjoyable to myself ,at present glad to say, It so yesterday.

whats interesting many said to me they 

no longer watch due to these excesses.

The `cult of celebrity`has still got 

sway on social events in UK 2017

Really sad and not good for the individuals future that many`` are very thick,

 washed up, and has been`` this often the title used to describe them

I am Surprised at how low the IQ level displayed remains, yet what ways are there for northeast girls to make a living. Of course what is not stated is fact that is true the `Cult of Celebrity` is manged like the pop stars of earlier periods by Money man, eager to exploit sexuality and studpidness.

Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times.

keep praying for Syria

Let peace be more and more evident

Let forgiveness be more and more practiced 

Holy Spirit of the living God

Amen

keep praying for Syria

Let peace be more and more evident

Let forgiveness be more and more practiced 

Holy Spirit of the living God

Amen

loneliness is a massive issue that we need to respond to.  

This gets mind boggling in a world flooded with social media 

where opportunities to communicate are so easily available.

sometimes we just don`t engage with each other

isolation is one side effect of poverty evident in northern communities 

OVER HERE AND NOW

over in Malta

The standoff between the Vatican and the Knights of Malta has taken a new twist, with the ousted foreign minister of the ancient aristocratic lay Catholic order appealing his suspension to the Knights' internal tribunal.Albrecht von Boeselager was removed on 8 December after he refused a demand by the top knight to resign over revelations that the order's charity branch distributed tens of thousands of condoms in Myanmar under his watch. Catholic teaching forbids the use of artificial contraception.

Wonder how long his watch has been going on for,to think in 2017 we need permission from Priest to use a condom its kinda cute,but measured really as oppressive.

"On what rational grounds could I care about the state of the affairs (or even other people) 

when I’m gone,what is going to happen? 

what do I mean by 'good' or 'bad'?

how do l measure my life ?

SO ITS SATURDAY

 COOKING

 WASHING

CHARGING ITEMS

 LISTENING TO RADIO 

READING `LOVE WINS` BY  ROB BELL

 STAYING WARM     TRY TO DO SOME WALKING

 `TABLETS YEAH KNEW SOMETHING I FORGETTING HAHAHAHAHA`

ITS COLD AND I DON`T JUST MEAN THE WEATHER

"We need to do something fast," the new Hull city boss Silva stated recently. "To be more competitive and improve, we must do something fast."

Hesitancy was not an option for Silva and eight days after arriving at the Hull City Stadium the Tigers new head coach,has already added to the team with two new signings .

Oumar Niasse of Everton and Porto's Evandro arrived in Hull yesterday ready to join our teams fight for Premier League survival ,there are hopes both could even feature against Bournemouth  tomorrow.

guess l will be listening to the radio(which gives me load of pleasure) as the games progress.This is one of life untold pleasures listening to the radio.often listen to radio 2 between 12 and 14 .00 and later often catch the Archers.

TV holds little pleasure for myself as l feel only to chill like to feel taking part and the Radio draws me into that situation.

Anyway back to the football 

Hull City manager Silva still wants additional players, perhaps a new right-back. with someone called `Gregory van der Wiel` of Fenerbahce,Olympiacos' Omar Elabdellaoui are two players we have been linked with. but for this moment our new mangers first first new blood has been injected into Hull City's team.

Inspector Montellbano  well here a regular fix for Kevin,a foreign TV series l really enjoy often find myself enjoying the cooking,along with the coulers and langue of the environment 
Drawn into the script and storytelling
there link here 
love encounters
relationships
drama and emotions

Theology

Working stuff about faith, love, life, and relationships.

Yeah guess we all struggle but these issues are linked because like you it’s my life

it who l am.

also about where l am going too.

if God is not interested in the minutia of life how can God

 be only interested in what some interpreter of his words says is important

it all about the who l am and the way l am living

SNOWY COLD AND HURTING  UK  LIFE 2017

Just had a meeting,
(with broth and a bun

thrown in for keeping us all warm)
 this morning.

Was talking about heating and energy

so many people been sanctioned in our district.

There is such a whirlpool of paperwork and emotions that people feel when further displaced by the benefit system.

Several people voiced concerns that `poverty and life of vulnerable` had got worse in last 3 decades.

The politics of life in UK 

today's rewards and challanges

Snow is always challenging and there's often a fine line between whether it will rain or snow in a particular location,Being on a cliff top place we tend to get worse gales and frequent sleet depending on slight changes in air temperature.
Always keep an eye on the forecast and warnings so can plan my day
since Heart issue l am more focused on cold and wind also not getting sleep l need and this been for quiet a while now.
This can be normal for me.

Reading another book and working my way through `Love wins`by Rob Bell.
Trying to be more informed and tolerant towards others theology as it just makes sense that l got so much more to learn about God,Jesus and big stuff, also got so much to learn about minuter of little stuff.
Which all counts of course. 

counter-intuitive

Something that is counter-intuitive does not happen in the way you would expect it to

this day in 2017 my moments

Royal Mail is refusing to deliver to a row of houses in one Hull street after a postman "was threatened".

but they still delivered a letter by hand telling people they were at risk
delivering mail
beat that

also bit like school
did you ever have that one kid messes about and everyone gets punished
why
are we school kid 
supposed to deal with this issue
like that here
but we have a police force who so busy targeting
Car drivers they can not do the jobs
they being paid for

also what a crap and rubbishy ending to George Gently over the new year period .the programme Gently takes place in 1960s Northumberland, seldom seen in British TV drama and containing a large amount of iconic locations,Durham Hartlepool,north east coast.along with unique dialect which affects the image of characters. 
Then a weird plot which used local history by suggesting an illegal slot machine racket at the heart of its story, The final shootout takes place in a village cathedral. 
WHAT A DISASTER WITH THREE PEOPLE DEAD OR NOT

reading  LOVE WINS by Rob Bell
he is at his usual best here, casting fresh light on biblical truths, engaging readers with the compelling metaphor, turning the arresting phrase, and reminding all that the love of God is more powerful and sweeping than we can imagine.
Along the way, he raises a host of theological issues upon which the proclamation of the gospel as good news hinges. Bell also proposes solutions, and it's those proposals that raise other questions not just for evangelicals, but for anyone who wants to see more and more people follow Jesus.

The style, which peppers the pages with moving stories and ever-lengthening lists or questions, is interesting in that l want to read on hoping to get some more answers but keep getting more lists

the other issue for me is bit like monologue would  very much like you are listening ,actively listening to it. As book it doesn't work. It's appears postmodern, which isn't a bad thing in itself. But its cultural fit does not exempt us from asking how true to the bible it is,reckon it a good start and then you may want to lift off into deeper stuff.

however where do you find the time and where do you start

At what cost?
