THE NEW SEASON OF FOOTBALL BEGINS AND IT WILL BE A LONG SIGH FOR MANY MALES ESPECIALLY Saturday AT 3 O CLOCK




IN THE Bible IT STATES THIS

Love doesn’t get a swelled head over straight As or a scholarship to Princeton.

Love isn’t snooty about a new Corvette or a season pass to the world’s premiere ski resort.

Love never jeers at the fat kid who hangs out of his/her T-shirt in PE.

Love smiles when getting cut off on the interstate.

Love submits an honest tax return.

Love doesn’t whine about the referee’s bad call.

Love believes that God always provides the best stuff in life.

Love hangs on to hope when the family is splitting apart.

Love does not change like hemlines and hairdos.

Love is like the Energizer bunny. It lasts and lasts and keeps on going.

In the end only three things will remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

TERNS ATTECKED...WHY?

Been fortunate to share in my sons hobby of twitching ....watching bird life
There is so much couler in wild life its free
all around us
Health Plus own well being improved as you encounter the out and about with many wonderful walks
Sometime the other side of human nature is exposed witness the cruelty shown to vulnerable birds like the `Terns`
Hard to believe that man kind local to us attacked these birds when nesting at Crimdon

short prayer

Limited quality of life expectancy
heard this new expression to myself
today used by lady whose daughter was born with only `short life expectation`
as we sit and ponder just need to thank God for all you already experienced sometimes prayer that simple
not great big words and full of meanings
it can simply be here and now
`l am grateful,`

My tomatoes are made in a red image beautiful . . .

We’re made in the image

The Message expresses,

The Good News attests

That we’re formed out of sod,

That we’re made every one,

Every daughter and son,

Every wandering one,

All the faithful and funny,

The thin and the brawny,

The fearful, the hopeful,

The cloudy, the sunny,

The sinning, the grieving,

The brave and the stumbling—

We’re made in the image of God.

 

Health care not fair don’t care too bare

Leaving out the poor

The children and the elders

Like mountainous boulders

Come crashing and crushing

how much does Jeremy vine get paid

I know its been week since saw that Jeremy Vine gets over £3500 for his show but should he still lecturing us poverty and vulnerable issues

while many struggle some using food banks
got to wonder about injustice of the wages paid to the likes of Vine he is particle at blame spending so much time telling others about his daughters love of attending concerts like Talyor Swift etc.. he gets the average yearly wage in one month plus add on`s and more

it`s unjust

Here in the long now . . . .gets better just not to soon

The long now it appears we are stuck just that we are in the long now

Place been before in time get onto another place

But here in the long now is where few of us find ourselves

The long now 

TV AS PROPHET

`BROKEN`
`THREE GIRLS`
`MURDERED FOR BEING DIFFERENT`

ARE ALL EXCELLENT TV DRAMA
BUT THEY ARE ALSO PROPHET TV
 ABOUT REAL LIVES DESTROYED
TV  IS TELLING US ABOUT CURRENT SOCIAL STATUS AND HISTORY OF US
 ME AND YOU 
HOW WE LIVE

ITS NOT NICE

What distinguishes the Church from other agencies and providers

I

What marks myself out as different ...... 

From others around myself?

One time l was working abroad in another country 

came across these four church's at an actual road crossroads

 They were all built facing each other 

If they could talk what would they have said to each other?

As the congregations met at different times

With different collections and people 

praying

listening

sharing 

talking from same book

Was there ever a need for Church today be so diverse .  .  . Some feel wrongly that `St Paul`s vision of Church is huge that it is reflected in all diversity represented by each denomination,

But l do not

this list that grows

There should be more that unities then divides

Is that portrayed? 

Unsure that so many coulers faith and credos evident is positive for the message of ---

LOVE God

LOVE one another 

Follow Jesus

“Every stone thrown at you restin’ at my feet

Why God, why God do I gotta suffer? Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle

Why God, why God do I gotta bleed? Every stone thrown at you restin’ at my feet

Why God, why God do I gotta suffer? Earth is no more, why don’t you burn this muh'******?”

FIRST VEG SOME OFFERINGS

                             
                   The fun of growing own vegetables in garden

                       Some small first potatoes

                               Various first of the vine tomatoes

                                      Yellow and green courgettes

                                              Sweet William pea pods

                             

the 3 f`s

faith
      friendship
               football

                                it all part of life 
the life stuck in at present
                  

Invited to a church praise

     but seen it all before

there needs to be      
 growth
              life lived which challenge

non violent approach to oppression
that gonna get my 
juices going


So l am left with faith to ponder,
friendship to nurture 
 football to wail at

TIME WERE TOUGH BUT NOT AS TOUGH AS THEY ARE NOW

TIME WERE TOUGH BUT NOT AS TOUGH AS THEY ARE NOW


2017 A place of faith, of journeys, of hardship.Sorrow

pretty gutted to see this every day players leaving Hull City FC

FOOTBALL ISSUES AT HULL CITY .HARTLEPOOL DISUNITED

My home town football club Hull City look to be in absolute and total disarray,as they prepare to face Bristol Rovers this evening.(friendly in Portugal where some family friends travelled to watch) 

Although departures were inevitable in the wake of relegation from Premier League, a constant stream of players moving suggest and indicates wider epidemic.

Experienced figures no longer want to stay at the club. That much is as clear as the Algarve evening sunshine, Agents have been instructed to engineer moves away from Hull, most are getting their way. Few would be surprised to see Sam Clucas, Kamil Grosicki and Abel Hernandez join the exodus in due course. 

Hull City, at present, no longer resemble anything like football choice.

earlier today l visited Hartlepool wanting to watch a friendly this evening but at £10 and £1.50p admin charge guess what l stay away as will many.

When some make the same choice with their feet and finical pockets perhaps in near future Football at Hull City and Hartlepool will become community organised again

                              Oh l hear you say it not like that anymore

yeah l say BUT it needs to be, after all its supposed to be entertainment, fun, a laugh break away from  real life,even some lessons passed on for life other dramas. 

Faith journey and more ramblings.

As you journey in Faith we often talk about a time when we moved
 or where converted ...but where we faithless before such conversion 

So In a faith journey

What are you tethered along

What ripples will happen

journeying alone

Or select group

Or bigger community 

How it going?

That important to reflect where we faithless before such conversion

What was happening in our journey that was moving us towards a deconstruct away from the place we where at?

How have we changed and what have we kept espically if the journey is currently a long one

Did we se others dropping away

Why

If you lose faith in something can you return 

Does having faith in Church and your deconstructing mean that your faith in the Lord Jesus remains or does that lose something

Perhaps it may gain something

Listening to Vinyl

Do you ever get carried away listening to Vinyl

Playing tonne of Northern soul 45's

Including Bobby bland....billy ocean...Tony Etoria...chairman of the board

Polly brown.....etc

Curtis Davies, Harry Maguire, Josh Tymon and Shaun Maloney apparently have all left Hull City in recent weeks, although l think Maloney broke down, further with Ahmed Elmohamady and Kamil Grosicki likely to follow suit, another departure of Robertson and Huddlestone would leave Hull City in a similar situation to last summer.
Followers of Hull City would know what happened so 12 months on we are in same place and space as last season.
this long now affects so many things in my own life 
which is a bit of an ongoing issue for the likes of myself.
entertainment
spiritual
economic well being
leisure time
entertainment
all in the long now

No more self serving then those belonging to LBGTP sexual communities

well actually l find it all a bit racist, and offensive.
Not just the LBGTP Sexual thing
but the naked except for paint along with the attack on religion.

I am not a Muslim, nor am l protector of Islam,

 but this is just pure offence.

It intended to be so, what are you thinking when you perform this act.The act of writing those words on your placard, knowing it going to court distaste and offence.
Painting on a naked body along with your pride.
 in self centred actions.
It all about self, in the entire debate around LBGTP sexual, it all about self serving.
self promoting,
self importance,
worse self above any God or religion,
`oh but we are spiritual`.
Rubbish there is no spiritual without something 
inside which is God given.
No more self serving then those belonging to LBGTP sexual communities.  

border coulers

This means war, well it certainly means perhaps, 
that some people are not talking to each other.
Perhaps diving place,could be yellow or red
or something beige or placid. 

It's Monday in July...hospital . . Blessed

I had the weekend mainly bit tired

Die to health and heart failing 

Hey ho l am well and aged that's allowed

Some time in the gardening l suppose they call it pottering

still tired me out cut the lawn feed and watered the plants

mainly those in greenhouse loads of green vegetables 

James cook hospital then later collect son Matthew nice drive maybe something in a cafe

Walk perhaps some day soon swim in the North Sea 

Reminded to ask God will bless all those attending hospital today

May you be confident in the skills of thelearned people you receive support and treatment from

Thank God for this place called NOW it where you are

It's where l am

This place called NOW perhaps to some of you at present

 may feel a bit long if you got challenges it won't pass suddenly but in time 

it will be your creative history

A young child died after a cancer aged six 

He lived life cal to us

He had a smile that was as wide as forever . . .may you when facing a challange learn from him

`Broken` and the faith of the telly.

confidant, counsellor and confessor to a community struggling to reconcile its beliefs with the realities of daily life ....`Broken` on the BBC a great watch 

That how some people describe Broken ,the programme aired recently on the BBC.
It about faith, common sense, and life. From the view point of a `catholic priest`
It hard to watch, but l would say essential.
Well scripted and the issues are so relevant,
not easy, but this is what TV is supposed to be about real drama.
watch and witness.
Discuss and share.
Think and act,
Pray and behave,     Just like your god given conscience will allow.. 

Sean bean as father Micheal in `Broken`

Common sense and theology , (that the working out of God in your everyday) ...
not always put together well.
This programme, `Broken`, will l feel be used to promote the right kind  of talking and praying.
Broken is about life in the UK as it is lived
it not nice it far from nice and it (society) needs to change


we need to change
I need to change,
we need to be more radical .
we need to act.
We need to discuss, share, act, and behave like God, through 
his son Jesus calls us too in a more concerned ,loving,way towards the vulnerable and broken around us.

Gosh Faith....the Christian faith on the telly, positively portrayed. 
Christianity and the BBC in some form of unity do not often see that!

Poetic justice

The socioeconomic of being here

This experimental episode called the north

Whispers hatred resentment

Poverty fear

Further it screams being without

Here the thinline seams possibly a million miles away

Social reality is there is nothing here to hold

Or desire to cling too

The rows of old worn out houses

Cluttered littered streets and gardens

Hopelessness reaches out

Like the mist that overs this place sometimes for days

We are shrouded in hopelessness 

The streets of fast food takeaways

The betting shops all together

Alongside the boarded up rat infested shop fronts

It stinks poverty and hopelessness

As the poor can only choose the spinning wheels of the lottery

The betting shop

And the fast food rip off merchants

While the many police sirens wail

The birds tweet

The youth look backward to a time that's glorified 

Time that never really excisted 

Time passes slowly this side of the tracks

As another sucide victim heads up to the railway tracks

these things have stuck with me

spiritofthestreets thin line between heaven and hull

They say that truth is reflected in many images and this is true of the above

many years ago in the eighties

wow

l was named by others as the "spiritofthestreets"

 due to the nature of where l worked and further the way l worked

it ha stuck with myself

l discovered quite by accident

while watching a TV programme called the `WIRE`

that there is a` THINLINE BETWEEN HERE AND HEAVEN` . . . .

where ever your here is!

That stuck as well, Stayed with me 

..heaven

its paradise

the people are nice

some folk who know you are there

its so nice to be with someone you love when you are there

 

     here are promoted five ways to keep your mental health so read this and be reminded that list can also be no always useful can further be unhelpful

   Connect with people around you – building these connections will support you.

Be active – exercising makes you feel good – find an activity you enjoy.

Take notice of the world around you, of nature, and what you are feeling, be curious.

Learn – try something new, rediscover an old interest, take a course, or a fun challenge.

Give – do something nice for a friend, or stranger, thank someone,

the garden of kev wallers earthly delights

 HERE A FEW PICTURES FROM HAPPENINGS AT THE GARDEN OF WALLERS DELIGHT

 This is strawberries first time out

had lot of help with stuff from Matthew my son

this is his area animals and botanic

using an old tub to grow a cabbage not the best idea but thought see what the outcome look like

 so far been protected some ways from blight and the winds

where we live is pretty windy and we get a lot of hill fog this can come down for several days and stay

all this gardening is good for one`s health further general well being

All the bending down.. stretching across stuff

Plus there is this tremendous feeling of achievement as something you planted grows

the taste of vegetables is so very different cannot be compered to anything buy really is a different taste 

 used some old tires for the last three years 

grown mint potporie and normal

leeks

spuds

all grown in old recycled tires

FACEBOOK asking for three ids Passport Bank card Doctors letters before allowing access PLEASE don't it's illegal Fake Fraudulent

all you need is faith ..faith ..faith is all you need

HCFC hull city my team start the season like last year with fewer faces ..more money in account
owner who disregards the supporters
fans at odds...players wanting out
no real belief...tired
prepared not to learn and make same mistakes as previous . .
lacking leadership . . . .In many ways like your average Church

THAT COULD BE A TRUE STATEMENT

BUT LIKE SO MANY NEEDS SOME EFFORT TO WORK IT ALL OUT

AGAIN IS IT RELEVANT TO WHERE WE ARE THIS DAY

INDEED IS IT MORE RELEVANT TO WHERE WE ARE GOING THIS DAY AS A SOCIETY

SET THE PEOPLE FREE

life deconstructing

sometimes as we construct and deconstruct
move
emotions
feelings
happenings
life
reading
watching
hearing
walking
wrestling
remembering
reading people
drinking in a cafe
watching the rain fall on a pavement
hard to think
life
easy to stay in bed
easy to not talk
easy to keep the curtains closed
life
recall yesterday
hope for tomorrow
sat in the long now
life
faith
prayers
construct 
deconstruct
life
listen to others
listen to self
listen to music
listen to nature
hear nothing
hear voices
do not hear
life

close season antics at my local team

bit worried that it all becoming a bit like last few seasons at Hull City FC

With no new signings and lots of others leaving

this could lead to a unimpressive story of the season

although l often say it is only football
preparation is important

not very much happening at present
