Something different in this lockdown
Less connection
Less communication
More hope l think
Sad still little from faith communities
More poverty
More need
Society feels inactive
Lot more silence

Cognitive Scaffolding
We need to get back into actual presence with each other
Construct build...better develop our relationship
ZOOM not future
Again it diversity stops poorest taking part
Want to see in another's eyes reactions
Want to interrupt silence
Reflect and agree
Test conflict
Resolve
Question
Actively listen
Hear completed sentences not interrupted high tec murmurings
What scaffolding absent from cognative space you inherit?

Never been monetary rich.....but don't feel rich in other ways either
Funny again car issues ...money
N a pandamic biggest issue money
Humble home ..work hard yet reality is money
NO
NO
I don't need any sending just sometimes all this you'll be rich in heaven
Well honestly it's a cope out
I don't like or use the expression
Struggle with Lords words...ask in my name it will be given.
Not into prosperity gospel.......as l have said before,just a little Steak on a my plate.
Grumpy period over...

Whatever we were preparing for this is where we are

Not In poor health
Not defeated

Need operatic dramas of non verbal connections
Found that people need real......real...real
Connections
True that Social media serves a purpose...important vital,but not real
Need to see people
Sit together even in silence
Touch if Appropite!
But Church fails in my view when distant.
Finding also that when people do not connect...lose ability to chat in casual sense.
So let's get soon into the operatic dramas of non verbals and humanity of connecting in groups
Real
Real
Real soon

5% make the noise 95% have to comply
WThey say that if offended it's part of life
Develops your mind
Emotional responce to be offended
Increasingly in these mind health ID issues....people don't want offence
But 5% of social media are loud and try to prevent 95% have discourse
Twitter
Instagram
Facebook
Controllers of the social culture wars.....but human development further growth takes place
in disharmony...discussion...discord...leads to discovery
I may at times offend
I may be offended by you
But to create offence just to offend is not the same.
Like Islamic offence.....l would choose not to offend...but accept others may.
As a faith of Jesus the saviour follower....l get offended by name....Christ ..God
being used as swear words.
But offence is allowed.
It's in our nature.
So is being kind
Being polite.
Being thoughtful.
Being offensive .....its part of the narrative.

What would be on your conversation menu
Having a chat
Connecting
Talking
Laughing together with friends
Eating meal
Argument's
Debates
Long lovely silence
Engagement
Attending conference staying in groups making those silly plans.
Missing Church but not enjoying Church by computer
Agree others are fine.....it's me....that's allowed.

Society that is ill.....not because of pandamic.
Barnardo’s, founded in 1866, large UK kids’ charity . Launched into racial politics, releasing White Privilege – A Guide for Parents. Yes it explains what white privilege is, how it manifests itself, how parents should approach racial issues,finally how should raise their children to be aware wokenisum issue.
The first thing that strikes you is that throughout the document, the ‘b’ in the word ‘Black’ is capitalised, and the ‘w’ in the word ‘white’ is not.
While these (professionalvulnerable agencies) parachute into work with poor kidz ,they always return after 4-30 early evening to own -Woke community's -to further develop ideas that only creat further disadvantage.
They are the privileged few, not poor impoverished White kidz nor community's they often come from.
But this is not what anyone cares about,BARNARDOS they just want to be seen to be 'vocal slaves' in the current echo chamber.
These are not correct concerns,they are concerns of elite.
This society is ill but got nothing to do with a pandamic.

Whoever suggested that buying a CD or a Book maybe DVD was not essential.
How do you suggest what essential or not!
I have limited IT access so the books,magazines,CDs etc are part of my connection and sanity.
To me you choose what classed as essential.
We have become real good at telling others
What to do
What to have
Even what they say
Essential we discover freedom....

Who are we .........what our role and purpose
Are we developing as humans in this huge challange we are stranded in?
Many working hard to enable others
Social care workers funny title many not social workers not care workers
Not community development nor youth workers
Really only know
We need them
Never been paid true value
Perhaps person Centered and small group workers will be championed more when we evaluate
this period.

Who do you want on conversation menu ...what topics?
Been busy lately phone ,email, lot less us
Too much me
Society which feels different searching for another normal
But we had one bite to change
Concerning that we appears not learnt much from 8 months lockdown
Either way we are one week into doing it again
Surprise that we not looking deeply into large stuff of
Where we going
What does death look like?
Lie what does it mean ...in whole it's beautiful creative potential?
Who leads us?
Where we heading,?
How are you?
What do you want on a conversation menu?
Who do you want to sit chat with?
Nov 13, 2020
Sitting in the park .....Thinking.........in the long now
But need to stop Middling....need communicate with you want discourse..noise.. people.
Perhaps it's being in this long now...or maybe it's age...
Above nice place like to sit
Watch sea roll
Seasons change
Weather alters
People they don't leave memories stay...feels fresh
Faces don't alter if don't see them
Some not in this world anymore
Words remain even if change internally something l did not mean to say recall
Is it this ...long nothingness of now?
Nov 11, 2020
Not too Dum Dum
Not supposed to drive
Got to be essential
Have to obey.....been seen to obey
Must not do this must wear a mask
Not supposed to be non profit
Got to be supportive
Should not ask too many questions
Nor hold different views
Can't say couleered or be offended
She can be a he simply if she says she a he
All going one way......but maybe the old way is the better way

Child sexual Survivors call for the leader to resign..continued fight expose this,healing sought for what they’ve experienced.
Child sexual abuse and rape in the Catholic church was covered up.
Survivors call for the leader to resign but he refuses.
My thoughts are with all survivors for their continued fight to expose this and for what they’ve experienced.
The lady correct.
Along with last months sex abuse scandals in COE ,and outbursts by televangelists,
Christainty is on 'trail' and most uncomfortable situation has arrived,coming to hold us accountable.
When Church is attacked (internal abusive truthful actions)...we must grieve,
We are the body of the servent King he grieves...how did it come to this?
When will Church listen there is an issue of power being played!
But do not want to focus on that.
It's first the hurt of those who were abused.
They must first be addressed,pain must be healed
Repentance must follow.
Efforts to better engage with ..'Youth workers '..those who shown the light brightly.
Its not enough to hear power brokers in Servent Kings Church, retreat into some kind of unholy huddle and come up with excuses.
It's about power ...abuse of power t...to turn over such people
and bleach them away
Other ways it will emerge again.
Jesus weeps.....

Televangelist Kenneth Copeland laughs at the media for declaring that Joe Biden has won the election and will become president.
Televangelist Kenneth Copeland laughs at the media for declaring that Joe Biden has won the election and will become president.
Ha ha cry cry cry as image of faith is damaged
When he desires Spirtual gift from God may he choose ...to be Kind!
This was on BBC Radio 2 earlier today it made me sad.
Because many will accept that this how Christians followers of Jesus behave.
How we act in defeat!
How we debate!
How foolish he and his Church his followers act.
By the way l never liked Trump and feel comfortable as English guy in northern UK town
it not my country nor my politics...but sad to witness the actions of faith leaders in USA.
Hurts the narrative of God of Love
Hurts Image of loving Father!
Does nothing for the followers of servent King.

In lockdown if you want...can do this
We can reflect
Pray that your way....it's mine

Just be you
Think about God....new music...old friends...new ventures
Lots still do.........if you want....

This is changing period weather ways
I feel lucky even though sleep amiss at present
So for some in mist
In the cold
In the danger
They go to work
Have they time for deep theological arguments
Still
They go to dangerous work setting
Gotta ask...."How you doing"?

Walks talks reflecting and hope
"I am not sure that I want to build a hut. For it will mean putting walls and a roof between me and the rocks and the sky. Who wants that on an afternoon in autumn when there is still a bit of heat in the sun and the wind is warm and caressing?" ~C.R.Milne
There is so much in these words that are wise...
Had ace walk this day along muddy haven near the Humber
Witnessed peregrine falcon feathers coulered like blue armour
Yellow legs of sparrow hawk on a hedge eating carrion
The huge honey Buzzerd as l visited the food bank near Aldbrough
Further saw humans interacting in Church yard ...conversations...laughter...politics...sharing concern and time together.
Life
Life
Life thankful yes strain around in life ...but hope is present

I believe in prayer. But I’ve never been into the “name-it-and-claim-it” prosperity gospel... I also don’t think that it works in a Presidential election.
There is a connect between a war Lord God
People whose ministry is power related
Know there is power of the spirit
Power comes with faith
Values beliefs ethics are power
But there is something about calling God to act just for you and prove his worth for you
Hurts to see some Christian antics connected to power of TRUMP
This is power of prosperity war like God
Less like God of the cross...God of LOVE
yeah struggles a plenty in my writings but hope can get jest of what l am saying...
I believe in prayer.

Warring God bit more pt2
Struggle with aspects of old order
See stories want to turn away from.
Old Testament got Gods hand but it got more of his people hand as they add bits to the narrative
David comes across at times as awful leader
Wondered if we got leaders like that at present
Hitler and others in not too distant past had leadership with power
America today with TRUMP
There a story of top power whose narrative to the story is childlike
Yet many follow further act upon his words
Lack f wisdom
Story distorted
We are told people are hurt
Damage is done
The narrative is not what l nor you would write
But it still written
In justice and poverty in UK we know what narrative should be ...but our history is writing still about neglect plus lack of care for most vulnerable.
Old order is alive in our present.
Gds got a story of what should be....but his people's hand is writing not what should be...but story of cruelty injustice lack of love...
There is a story we are part of...we belong too.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD BULLY
Deuteronomy 2:34
And we captured all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction every city, men, women, and children. We left no survivors.
They say..that most of this was boasting like their enemies they prone to boast about victories.
Did God say "...let my people go...."then they added threats ..snake tricks..death came
God said ...let my people go...
it strange a slave people freed became such oppressors...it happens
Neighbour hood bullies ..like those sang about by `Dylan` on Album `infidel's...`
HE`s... THE NEIGHBOUR HOOD BULLIED...Israel
When sports teams use the language of “totally slaughtering” ..We killed them..it was a riot...taking about `Others `..their opponents. The land has “rest from war” (Joshua 21:44), later we read Joshua says nations still remain in Israel’s midst (23:12); Judges 1-2 regularly repeats “they could not drive them out.”
Its the narrative of the moment...it brings into question big issues around God of love.
YET OFTEN ITS REPEATED...
Neighborhood Bully
Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man
His enemies say he's on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He's the neighborhood bully.
His enemies say he's on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully he just lives to survive
He's criticized and condemned for being alive
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He's the neighborhood bully.
He's criticized and condemned for being alive
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
He's wandered the earth an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn
He's always on trial for just being born
He's the neighborhood bully.

A warring God
Like many struggle with wars in old order...known to us as Old Testament
Stories ..tales ...a narrative of genocide, violence..abuse of women..people taken into slavery.
Wars against peaceful people whose land been invaded by Gods chosen people.
Not inspired
Cover your eyes stories
Hide away stories
Wrestle with meaning stories
Can they be true stories
What am l part of stories
Like you we need to discover the real truth of these stories and question
Ask tough questions
Try to wrestle with issues and dilemmas they raise up.
That the Church l feel pastoral able to belong too
One that does not simply accept because it written down but will ask can this be a real account?
What's changed in us or are we the same people of God who carry out the same
...because we got God on our side people...
Answers to follow?
