Time so weird at present

My death is but a passing cloud,
A shadow that obscures the sunFor life is hid within the soul

That never dies but still lives on. 

For God is that eternal love
That dwells within the human heart,
Uniting me with God himself
When I this earthly life depart.

For all that is of God lives on;And all that is of God in me
Is one with Christ, God’s Risen Son,
And lives for all eternity.

Time feels strange with all the weather. And very odd advice

Do not go out this week one Police force advised

What planet do they occupy mind you cannot recall last time l swathe police for surfeit was several months ago

When l do witness Police activity it often with a speed gun attached.

Like the Church and poverty silent too long what cruel  time for any sanctioned by cruel DWP and ESA staff at this present moment,who is going to speak out for them.??????

Help us understand the lines around their face

Lord of wanderers and refugees,

Who led Noah across the waters,

And Abraham from his homeland,

And the Hebrews out of captivity,

You walk with migrants in their uncertainty

On their journey to a new home in an unwelcoming world.

We need so much the hand of God

Guide our families, children brothers sisters

Those not directly further those friends we make

The stranger too whose presence we make

Show us Lord how to bring others near

How to listen to the story they will tell

Help us to understand the lines around their face

Sometimes days are a bit special. . . .today was

Reading the Prophet by 'Khalil Gibran' at present
came across this saying by him (see below)

Unsure if it's from same book

But worth a reflection 

Today's been pretty good . . . . .          But l know for me not for all.

Hope everyone will stay warm

Look out for each other 

People die and the Goverment and the political elite do not care

So like always it's down to each of us

Church

Arts

People

Walks

Gym

Swimming

Community

Connecting

Praying

Hope that what we all need more hope . . . .Hope for better for you and me!

Turns out l was wrong again

But I never -- I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life, I 

don't apologize, to take care of my family. And I refused -- to be a fool -- dancing on the string, held by all those -- big shots. I don't apologise -- that's my life -- but I thought that -- that when it was your time -- that -- that you would be the one to hold the strings.

Just imagined as approached age l am now, life would be easier instead struggle. 
Almost like punished for,' where and among whom you are born'.
Not that person can change that but punished for getting, becoming poorly gaining complications in your health . ."for this get punished . .". Always thought that there was a support system for unfortunate turns out that not the case.

Forever Angel . . .But always thought see you again . . .

The song goes l,ve seen fire

I,ve seen rain.

Perhaps just thinking on life and it's struggles

As they over came addiction l understand

But those words . . .the feeling that often arrives

The question sought

Emotion spoken then shard 

Leave such bitter feeling. 'I always thought l'd see you again . . .the unfinished sentence. .required ending sharing . . .moments of regrets. 

But l thought see you . .thought l'd see you . . .one more time again

Time goes on .. . .

“I have greatly enjoyed getting to know the Sisters,” Canon Bryant said, “and have great respect for them in wanting to offer the site in the service of the Church rather than wanting to sell the site. 

The Nuns are looking to sell their home so others can turn it into a Christian community, relevant to our times. Addressing the issues of the moment.

Something l feel we should be doing as we reconstruct at this moment.

Their generosity means that the site hopefully can continue to be a place of prayer and service, witnessing to the work of God’s Kingdom.”

Always imagined you would get in touch

Even return

Perhaps through some crisis

Thought around illness or the pain

But as the singer says in the song

'Fire and Rain. . .

It goes 'always thought l see you one more time again'

But time gone on. . . .too long the time passed and it just hasn't gone like that as it?

Still all time that passed it doesn't seem  Fair

Always wanting that discussion about. . . . .Why. . .

Wonder if anyone kneels in the bathroom ,doing the delicate cleaning . .wiping away . . .

This life it's hard and we don't know what ahead not even sure what's passed can be a guide

the challanges should get easier . .they don't . . .memories should fade . . .they have not . .

Daily prayer

Dear Lord

Grant us enough childlike optimism to keep believing 

We can change the world

Making it more peaceful place and much better place due to my narrative 

Keep me asking searching pondering

Reflecting then Acting on the things your Spirti through your son Jesus moves me towards

Amen

We are back to the league now and this period coming up is huge.

I said four or five weeks ago that every game was a Cup final and that still applies.

This will be our fourth away game in a row and then we have a couple at home. Friday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday is a tough schedule but we have to adapt. We have a good squad here with depth.

Sundays now are more for B&Q than C of E. Faith, hope and charity have somehow gone out of vogue; today, the milk of human kindness flows instead through Cancer Research, Comic Relief and Children in Need. So come all ye faithful, let’s do a car boot sale or run a marathon dressed as Peppa Pig. 

Creat a pause . . . .

Community gathers to pray

Nikolas Cruz jumped out of the Uber car and walked toward building 12 of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, carrying a black duffel bag and a black backpack. A man inside the school spotted Cruz, and knew he was a former student. A troubled kid. The man radioed a co-worker, and within a minute heard gunshots.

The 19-year-old was wearing a maroon shirt, black pants and a black hat. The man, whose name was blacked out from a sheriff's affidavit, told detectives Cruz was moving "purposefully."

Meanwhile as the Chirch bells tolled

A community gather

They sit and in early morning mutter prayers

No one notices but five times today they will gather and do this

Both genders not fashionably dressed pass each other as they go about cleaning in hotels running veg trucks washing steps of own home

Later this evening drink coffee after prepared meal for a family

Or returned home getting by on minimums wage

Do not have a lot but comfortable

Happy all that they have got

Tomorrow as the Church bell tolls they will gather again.mutter prayers as they do most days . . .

Carnival time in Malta . . . .AMAZING . . . . .

For such a small place so muchograzios culture

So impressive

Despite the challange of a stormy period weather wise

Walking around like child 

Delight shows

Feels great

Inspires us well  me

I wonder . . .stare . . .click . .record

Not even sure if it will work picks up movement transfer into sound through your system but what about scratches and that crackly non digital sound . . Something light for me to think about

Do you need one for each turntable you would use?

Love to know where could go to sample

As record shops l visit mostly second hand or are small expensive part of the HMV shop in side some place . . . .techno culture it sure hard to follow

With all faith . . .hope . .love . . .the system error around gun control could be changed

These were followed shortly by the barrage of news vans that were seeking to tell the tragic story: Two of our students had been fatally wounded and multiple others had been injured as yet another school shooting had transpired.

How does this happen in our hometown? We read about it and see it all too frequently on the news in other parts of the nation. But not here, not in our home. What are we to do with a tragedy of this magnitude in our community?

In the UK like many others we once thought slavery was correct and nothing could be changed.

The system error in American culture that allows Guns must be corrected

All the skill base

Resources

Intellect

Prayers

Faith . . .hope . .and the Love it should be done

Maybe the fear is to big for gun holders to let go?

Jesus did not say . . .'the poor you will always have with you' . . . .

In 1891 vida Scudder wrote . 'we need a system(through churches and Christian Faith) that prevents those at top being allowed to roll themselves in vast heaps of wealth!

12 of Febuary 2018 we are not getting close to this

We are not getting away from this

We have become more used to this and the disproportion That it creates close to 150 years of abuse by the rich

How they must love the words of Jesus misquoted so often . . .

"The poor you will always have with you"

He actully spoke about need to follow Gods teaching in such ways

 that the consequence of the poor will always be with you, would not be a truth

Think on those words again . . . . .

Meanwhile February 11th in malta

NOT BAD ORDER FOR DAY IN FEBUARY 

This is simply who you are now . . .said the Doctor

Here a update on who l am now . . . Warm greetings from Mediterranean.
Recently have been through further deconstructing, as faith journey moves on in personal life.

The time came to leave colliery town near Newcastle ,harsh impoverished part of north east England.

It felt Sad to depart in some ways,which was correct but I been in 3 quite different, but incredible work practices.Moved there in July 2007. From a position near London,where been most of this Millennium.

As the Church based Youth worker for around five+half years we had great times.

Later was with Northern area,pastoral responsible huge area, large staff, volunteers ,few workers were paid.

The very latest position up in far north Esconia highlands and Islands Settlements.

Work well suited for. Then Damm this illness.

However feeling inside me it too long, further too far away, illness visited ?

Bringing slightly over two years ago complex issues . 

Like previous past

 

What happened along this period was heart issue resulting in triple heart bypass.
Well the operation felt like a success but there was identified two issues too dangerous operate on,resulting in me getting tired, plus mild issue with breathlessness. Adjusted with challenges.

Recently since last March had a 'resimed' machine to get Air in my system,

As testing showed have approx 26 episodes throughout the day.

All reads bit dramatic but 3/4 them do not notice,all but 2 them body quickly adapts. Occasionally and infrequently it gets problematic,intense breathing issue, uncomfortable pain.
After last two months of through examination and testing the team around my cardiac issue looked at all findings,s results are agreed.

The issue l have will not be operated on the Surgeon made a decision in 2013 

no evidence for that to change.

Behaviour around my non atypical issue can be dealt with through medication and current lifestyle choices. All l am complient with. So eat meat only two days week ,walk great deal,life healthy,no smoking,actually seldom drink alcohol but the lethargy and breathlessness along with the need for 'resimed usage', is part of 'who l am now'.

Further chat with nurse highlighted that the political issue around work further and employment, struggle people with such issues have to resolve,pointing to a time when l would not be expected to seek employment. 
This is me.

Love to return to work  . . .seek opportunities  . . .Will the DDA  . .(disability discrimination act).  .

could be, should be useful. 

That is become my goal in near future.

Then and now

The first modern Britons, who lived about 10,000 years ago, had “dark to black” skin. A groundbreaking DNA analysis of Britain’s oldest complete skeleton has revealed.

There not been a lot of change since then, looking at these two images.

One from recent one about 10000 years ago!

Are your Dreams active ?

                             " It's better to die with your memories of failed dreams 

                                         then to die with your dreams still alive"

 

                                                   'Spiritofthestreets1958'

At least l think that should be true it takes a wee connect to 

Work it out and agree . . . .or not agree

Human contact 

Feelings

Talking

Walks

Swim

Warmth

Daily battles

It's a hard knock life . . . It can be 

Let's dream a while . . .thats part of Life also

Hey hey hey ho . . . .lets go

You could browse reflect fumble and become lost in a spiritual journey or simply take Jesu seriously

Then love God.                  Love one another

Follow him.                       Choice be yours.              DANCE.   SING

Poised between worship and intercession, forming the new Temple in which Jew and Gentile come together in the Messiah, the vision of a theologically reflective community is held in place by the vocation to embody the creative artwork of the one God.

Meanwhile walking trying to get better and stay healthy

Doctors say several things but our oppressive cruel Goverment says quite another

Work to die

BUT I REFUSE TO STUMBLE TO THEM

                                                 hey ho lets go

Days of devils, kings and clowns
Angel songs and birthday tunes
Valentines and wishing wells
Magic stairways, moods, and Junes
Silly rhymes and monkeyshines
Pictures on a stage
Round and round the records go
Time to turn the page

This will be our last song together
Words will only make us cry
This will be our last song together
There's no other way to say good-bye

Misty faces, far off places
Came and danced across the stage
Sha na na's and doo be down's
The sounds that chased away the blues 
Yesterday is yesterday
The past is dead and gone
Nostalgia just gets in the way
Let's stop hanging on

We sunk this low again

It appears the TV world along with the BBC Hit new lows this weekend

This cartoon above featured on BBC news coverage of the President of USA Donald Trump

Personally do not know what it got to do with UK but we appear obsessed with politics of this far a Away land

It not nice does not reflect myself nor should it reflect a Owned channel of another country

Far be it for me to remind our Goverment how to adress others but l a ashamed we sunk this low

Meanwhile on Channel 5 they just crowned a vile awful celebrity wanna be as its King among the Big 

Brother telly show

Transgender community voted to give this gift to ius this fine example

He lowered his frock exposing his bare taped genitals 

Then spent close to a month promoting transgender issues 

Shame we sunk this low

Well again we sunk this low

                           The journey we are on will not always end like we imagined
