keep on

Always listen to your coaches and teachers and keep trying to improve, though, then you never know what can happen. Even now I'm still improving my own game. Learning never stops.
Ultimately, football is a game of opinions. You may get told 'no' by one person. That doesn't mean you should give up. The next person may see your potential.
If you enjoy playing and keep on learning and trying to improve then anything is possible . . . . .

Imagine noise of Heavens.

Listen deeply.

   Imagine noise of Heavens

We can take comfort in the fact that ,Mclaren (and everyone else) is likely wrong and does not know it. So why construct a post-modern articulation of a (sort of) theology? 


As my latest reading the new Christians 

Here an answer:  but it comes in the way of a  warning: as in most of BM other books, there are places where he go`s out of my way to be provocative, mischievous, and unclear, 
This l find very unhelpful and indeed childish. But is that for younger readdress and more recent converts to the faith of Christian," If we are reflecting belief that clarity is sometimes overrated, and that shock, obscurity, playfulness, and intrigue (carefully articulated) often stimulate more thought than clarity.”
Then l think playing a silly game and a hurtful harsh lesson for some.
Mclaren well appears  to be saying . . . .

that his purpose is not to tell us what is true or false 
about propositional statements 
regarding God, man, salvation, and eternity;
But to stimulate our thinking
by purposely promoting obscurity. 

I wonder what value “stimulated thinking” has if coming to the knowledge of the truth is ruled out as a reasonable outcome.

my greatest concern is l read to learn even have a debate with others. BUT cannot this is all so misleading and childish. BUT it also pretty harsh.
Like for one example early on we are told
`forget all you have learnt from Church other Christians even the Bible....`
That hurts, and it means, all those good folks down the years were wrong.
But worse.. only he 
Only he.
Only he.. has the answers . . .

Life is no fairy tale at present

Powerlessness results in individual  being placed into others skill sector,
When not handled correctly can make some  . ?
Let call them Client, becoming Further vulnerable.
Abusive nature of administrative persons, often Government agents,
(DWP ESA JSA) often follow regulations in own interpretation , likened to Gestapo.

Gestapo well documented in result based agency where strict adherents to rules,
led also to own downfall.

Last Thursday Finished another 40 pages of a document,Know already will be rejected,
add this to the ESA 250 pages that exist in my appeal papers,get pretty crowded.
August should see 17 months of administration brought to a close.
I am personally sick of the whole business.

Phew life it not a fairy tale.

Stop and breathe


So life on pause with illness 
sick note
Surgical stockings
Too much reading
Small walks
Far too much analysis

Breathe deep.                Listen deeply.                   Imagine noise of Heavens

The wind.                 Bird in flight.                    Quiet conversation 
                        soul music on Vinyl

Powerlessness and faith

We all struggle at times of vulnerability, need support.
Perhaps have to seek correct help
This powerlessness results being placed into others skill sector,
can make some like myself feel further weaker
worsened by abusive nature of administrative Government agents ,(DWP ESA JSA) Gestapo.
Just completed another 40 pages for PIP form....which l know will be rejected,
add this to the 250 appeal papers mounted up since January 2016.


Told 21 days ago that a appeal decision would arrive today!
It won't . . . . . .
My situation cannot be treated only managed.....but hear me  . .managed well.
Uncomfortable when have to rely on others...it about how l feel ,That they are handling the 
issue having me having disability around them...
But still need to cope . with tablets....sprays....at times Oxygen machine....LIFE....



But powerlessness never easy to see
Powerlessness never easy to accept,
Powerlessness never easy to experience. 
                       Powerlessness easy to forget in Faith community and way they treat holder.

When others in Authority tell you ain't nothin . . . .no more

I have the love to wash away your pain
Yet, you live life on your own.
You shut me out
now don't you feel ashamed
cause you and I ain't nothing no more

You gave me life, but I don't share your sorrow
You live your life all alone
I choose to love, I wish you felt the same
Why are you scared to let go
I want your love, but I just wait in vain
cause you and I ain't nothing no more


You gave me life, but I don't share your sorrow
you live your life alone,
but I have the love to wash away your pain
You and I ain't nothing no more

You shut me out
now don't you feel ashamed
cause You and I ain't nothing no more
(I just wanna love you)
no more
(I just need to love you)
no no no no no no no more

Health and life at 60


Hello folks, grateful for love concern demonstrated towards myself.
Would liked unexpected hospital visit to be secret  . . .but someone placed it on Social media.
So first thank you for all Prayers,
The good wishes expressed along with heartfelt concerns.
I am feeling 95% better,thanks must go to the NHS Staff at HRI HUll Royal.That all hospital Staff,cup of tea bringers,floor cleaners,bagge waste removers,Ordelies,nurses,Doctors,Antheosistes WOW
There are for me lessons around humbleness, plus grace.
NHS staff are select group so beautiful chosen from variety of enormous backgrounds. 
But further practical skills,knowledge base, Medical Staff at HRI incredible,sure same elsewhere,with hugechallenges being faced daily.
Sadly Witnessed them suffering abuse verbal,threats,intimidation and violence from Alcohol abusing clients,drugtakers,who have chosen life style that now imposes further on health services and staff.

More update next week.
God bless you and l.
Please pray for these people totally committed.

Oh by the way Painkiller straight into my ARSE great immediate comfort.


Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their names

Old sounds still echo today

well l am told this is for this week July 2018

Runrig...

Cher....

Gabrielle . .

James...

The Coral...

Rick Astley...


Paul McCartney...Sheryl Crow..U2 . . .looks more like 1990.
not you understand that there is anything wrong with the 1990`s..
hell wish l was there now,but knowing what l do at present.
 . . . .talking about ole debates ...


When life is tough they tell you to be strong. Don't be strong. Be weak. Honest weakness takes courage, eliciting kindness, humanity & grace “Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes its the quiet voice at the end of the day saying “I’ll try again tomorrow

it does not . . . .may be a good platitude may even be worth quoting, but it not truth. Look at the way those in Authority treat the Vulnerable. Explore the way those on ESA treated by DWP. LOOK at the losers in the game local to you ...it untrue...nice nut unhelpful

Here's to the winners of the human race Here's to the losers in the game Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war Here's to the wall that bears their names Here's to you my loves with blessings from above Now let the day begin

Long climb . . . . .

“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.  I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”

Not that funny Mr Baron Cohen.....

In ‘Who Is America?’ Sacha Baron Cohen tricked politicians into saying outlandish things about gun control. The problem is that, in 2018, they say this stuff freely anyway 
.........gotta say......
Vastly overrated and childish humour we grew up but this comedian forgot to....sadly it all been done before and lot better.....not funny.
Pretty childish the rudeness,little people jokes with old folk who just did not get it......we all moved on.
The world turned or so l thought.
But then l feel like one of the losers in the game more each day.
Glad feel so out of touch.

All we need is step up from here

They say that apathy won without even a fight here.



How do we sleep

While our beds are burning

well looks like beds, plus other furniture is burning in Hull,the city of culture ,a northern soul is stirring in the capital of the Humber Banks,it has no south side .
They say that apathy won without even a fight here.
But this is Hull, where we celebrate Hull winning London 4-0.Even if it was just on Album cover.

How do we sleep While our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning

Trumped and the issue of protest in poverty stricken UK

All the protest against an elected leader of another country going on
They don't have a decent argument 
They don't even make sense
But here the rud

Here where it hits the road for myself
This is the issue that l do not get to understand
They are loud
Even well organised with whistles,drums,purple hair dye,large inflatables

So quiet

Oh so quiet

Very quiet
Do not make a noise 
ABOUT POVERTY IN THE UK

HERE A FEW WORDS FROM THE POLITICAL SCENE
“I respect people’s rights to adhere to and profess their faith, but for me, where there is a clash between somebody’s adherence to faith on the one hand and the acknowledgement of and demonstration of respect for human rights, the latter has to trump the former.”
But he failed to mention that under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, everyone “has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion”.
ME AGAIN Unless your a person of faith your views are seen as hostile before even mentioned them. Outdated. Irrelevant?Impractical.

Mr clean kit . . David Marshall Hull city goalkeeper

“I’ve had an eight-week injury since I’ve been here so it’s not as though I’ve been out for a major period, so I’m confident that I can get back to performing well. It’s been three league starts in 18 months but I’m hoping to get a lot more than that this season.”

`Mr clean kit`  . . .aka . . .David Marshall (Hull city goalkeeper).

How someone with so little talent can hope to gain footballers supporters trust is difficult for me to understand.
Several time he won the accolade of having `the cleanest kit in all four divisions of football leagues`.
Or to put it less bluntly...` he makes little effort`...
Unimpressive as a footballer and not a likable person.
Proper money taker, who needs to concentrate less on his `wife's instructions`.
Great deal more on developing his skills.
Marshall typifies the issue most fans have with these Prima Donna. 
Not used his skills or talents to keep goals out of the net,HE HAS DONE WHAT THEY CANNOT,taken wage not produced.
Many would love to do this in life.That not true . . 
Life that see`s him,David Marshall as `one of the winners`.
it not hard  . . . .save goals,
                           stop shots.
                           keep clean sheets,
we have no requirement for keeping your kit clean.
You want to be appreciated by the fans do the above ....that all asked.

“All you can ever do is keep working hard and hopefully perform when I do get the chance.”

it not hard . . .  save goals,Stop shots.keep clean sheets,

At present in this moment . . .like this


It's so important that people know there was a time before the NHS. It makes them appreciate it more"

Miriam Margolyes


England this is England at present mixture of emotions

politics in a mess

football staying in Russia and we excelled but failed to become winners in the game

life maybe a beach for a select few

but for the rest is sheer difficulty

beds are burning but no ones 
putting out the fires

Stop the confusion...

 More transgender confusion,meanwhile in Scotland or perhaps not, parents would not be told if their daughter is required to share her room overnight with a boy who self-identifies as a girl. It also tries to compel teachers and pupils to use pronouns they may regard as false. 



God made us into male
God made us female
We are not to change this,the image of male identity is a struggle but the identity of who l am should not be confusing.
We are already paying a terrible price for gender politics
Not getting any easier

FOOTBALL TONITE

WELL THEOLOGICALLY THINKING

Epistemology studies the nature of knowledge, justification, and the rationality of belief. Much debate in epistemology centers on four areas:
Philosophical analysis of the nature of knowledge
SOON BE TIME FOR
IMPORTANT ISSUES
how it relates to such concepts as truthbelief, and justification

various problems of skepticism

Sources and scope of knowledge and justified belief, 

Criteria for knowledge and justification. 

Epistemology addresses such questions as: 

"What makes justified beliefs justified?",
 "What does it mean to say that we know something?"


 fundamentally "How do we know that we know?".

. . Love to start the week with clear thoughts on the Metaphysical . . .

Ernst Juenger said in Radiations, "The decision...to begin by holding to a law of faith, even without an inner call, is not at all as senseless as is generally thought. In fact, it is the proper opening for the metaphysical game. For then God must make the counter move."
qouted by that great theologian . . . helmet Thielicke

 . . . . . .well lets be straight what hell he gonna be with name like that. . . . .

longing plus wanting to switch Paradgm

We sometimes reach a low tide in our faith journey
keep drawing people to a boat on a river.
you need to listen
internal voice is saying odd things...
soul is trying to tell me . . .you...something
Often we go on...we miss this voice..or we get HALTED..
like a death inside.


The life we are sometimes living can be in need of change.
Our society is so structured that the wheels of commerce locked us into the paying..
But inside...internal ..your soul is shouting
there is something you need to attend to..


THE TERRITORY FAR BEYOND YOUR STREET CORNER IS CALLING YOU!

Wanting to sit with hot Bovril and crackers see the world.

So where can `you and I` go to dissemble,
reavaulate, switch carefully the paradigm lived among.

How is your experience being mirrored in these times?


One of my TV Treats is . .     VERA  currently catching this Thursday ITV 3, at 20-00;

THE STORY DRAMA WITH THE SCENERY

DURHAM AND NORTHUMBRIA

A Hull woman sold her most prized possessions to pay for her funeral after being told she was dying – only for doctors to tell her they got it wrong.

As she began planning for her own funeral, THE LADY sold her family heirlooms and precious antiques to pay for the costs – but a month later and experts in HULL R H told her she had never had the devastating disease, and her doctor was not qualified to give her the diagnosis.
"For a month I was made to think that I was dying and had to plan my own funeral - it was absolutely heartbreaking" said THE LADY
Hull Daily Mail . . .,

so leaves me asking is this a good news story or not, i make mistakes.

You`ve got your health you are well and are your family not happy for you.
Nice dress on, hair looks wonderful,  the sun is shining....but the Doctor made a mistake, thought you had cancer.He was wrong  . . .got to be good news.

. . . 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"
