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...

Better together in this horror show

 You are here in a horror show

Never expected to be

Funny well maybe not so funny ha ha

Pandamic you are suffering but still here

I am glad 

Learning together

Live better together

Discover new understanding together

Hopefully shine for others

Embrace others

Be strong for others

Faith will journey on

Whatever we were preparing for this is where we are

Not alone

Not In poor health

Not defeated

Miss lot of things but l am here like you doing OK...here now in pandemic we are surviving

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

Keep sane . . . few tips

Music l return to this listen to old stuff

Where did you buy 

What where you doing

Who did you share this with the first time...

Read

Read

Differant stuff 

Switch off TV

Walk ...l go along sea front after tablets and first cuppa 

Walk near to end of my day...stay in touch connect

Sit and pray...just sit if you don't pray but want to Spiritualty connect with God

Just sit

Light a candle

Sit

Be aware of your thoughts...treasure the silence

Stay sane.....

Micro issue's can be crippling

Why would you gift a virus appears to be the key questions

Of the day on TV and radio programming. But my main worry is car maintenance again

Sometimes micro issue of enough money now crippling issue! Those are big problem that many face.

So read my lips....... everyday stuff has to be addressed.thats LIFE.

 

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?

@spiritodelarue

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

3:58 PM · Nov 13, 2020·

Sitting in the park .....Thinking.........in the long now

Find myself thinking lot about the past...know like you made mistakes..don't like regret because little one can do...like favourites in music l change today it's Fleetwood Mac, tomorrow may be Jazzie..

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?

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.

Sammy Woodhouse ........who exposed child sex abuse scandals in Rotherham.

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 walk

We can reflect

Pray that your way....it's mine

Be kind

Ignore falseness

Switch off TV

Can read more

Listen to music

Appreciate what not possible at present

Look forward... look back

Watch really old movie

Can communicate on phone or by thingie miygies

 smile

Just be you

Think about God....new music...old friends...new ventures

Lots still do.........if you want....

 

This is changing period weather ways

There is a creators evidence as we enter second lockdown it visible beautiful 

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.

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.

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

Bob Dylan

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.

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.

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...
