We have leaders lack integrity,honesty,grace,sensitivity, nor understand old fashion ancient values.

 It is my view that modern leadership, reflecting present culture so therefore its lacking values from a platform which is no longer seen as relevant.

A friend told me the word l am looking for is `inconnaissance`. 

which means completely lacking awareness of others and their plight.

Often got complete understanding of your own situation, but lack concern for others.

..I wrote today via another medium, also part of a conversation l shared with a older guy , who has been arrested for silly action..

hope the grace you offer is equal to the grace you receive..

The culture we are in, are part of, is shaped by individuals, acting in community , as larger part of Society. It does not happen overnite but change comes about.

this present culture this toxic environment is something l will not labour long in,

We had such commitment to anti oppressive practice, now it feels like we specialize in oppressing each other as often as we can.

anger...cancel culture..inequalities.. threats of violence..lack of responsible behaviour..

It starts at the top.

But us at bottom, we can still bring change.

This is a big hope of mine.

 Jeremiah 17:8

They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream.

It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green;

In the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit.

We are drawn to God’s word just as we are drawn to beautiful trees by a flowing stream.Rush of tide against rocks, sunset coulers at end of the day..cup of tea with mates..conversation..enjoyable film..love all draws us to something Godly in this world.
