all puffed up about `hull city`.

It appears that if you spot something strange about Hull City's new owner , dubbed `Emperor ACUN`. he made lot of promises around our status at next Liverpool and sleeping Giant.

If you spot something about emperors, New clothes, not allowed to comment.

Firstly .;- Acun is a business man. In the game for profit.

Not a local person who has invested for childhood reasons. That allowed you should try make some cash. But football community not quick profit, it requires investment.

Secondly;- we have now a very small squad.

Lost lot of players from previous season when we survived relegation, Also lot of teams around us benefited from two clubs being docked points. Last season was a struggle.

Thirdly HCFC ;- not recruited enough to even replace those who have departed.

 Never mind New signing players of higher caliber

Expectations are coming from the owner,talks about rising to premiership, possessing great squad, becoming envy of the football world.

I am not easily bought in any area of life, football one of those not important ventures l tag along with. 

Therefore wont be surprised, like many not buying into the gamble, nor as l see this` reckless behaviour `of present owner,neither am l alluded towards footballing ignorance of coach.

Major reason for some last seasons squad departing.So we have read and heard.

We will be there through, ardent home grown City fans,  some of us , well we exercise caution, 

but told to expert more...By Emperor Acun.

Old ways in Hull

MY LITTLE TOWN  . . Hull

Hull figures in few films, the Old town especially, little changed last century.

But only when l was young, horses pulled

the milk, Rington tea, beer, plus bread cakes.

Perhaps that way forward, to go back, move things around ,in cheaper way a something more simple way.

Used to drink here, place known to `Hullansions` as museum quarter.

Where we developed interested in Arts,

History, political views on Slavery.

Child playground, Weekend father, still parental responsibility, growing up learning more about life that was past.

Teaching us for these present times an understanding of  equality, diversity.

This image is from Glastonbury


This image is from Glastonbury where great Climate change Warrior. . .
(sick joke puppet),

Arrived to tell everyone how to avoid climate change.

they cheered,

they clapped,

some sang,

they protested,

they applauded,

They sang more songs,

they did not listen,

they did not act!

They tell you and me how to live

Suggest again these Woke culture members are hypocrites.

They lie and do it often.

Age. My health, illness. But been watching lot of Downton Abbey

It's my age l reckon or could be illnesses

Either way got myself bit intrigued with this oldie world programme

Downton Abbey

Also checked my own thinking 

Yesterday getting bit moody

Uncomfortable around others

Is it OK to invest in you.?

Well think we should do. However unmanly that may sound.!

Before speak with close contact.
Management of self vital.

How are you doing?
How are things, you know LIFE in general?

Planning permit granted for deer farm on Mġarr ODZ land

 The site will have a deer farm, a retail outlet, an olive oil press, reservoirs, retaining walls, sumps, a cesspit and new soil.

The commission also sanctioned various existing illegalities on which enforcement notices have been issued, such as stores holding items, already been constructed. 

Deers in Malta..no it not appropriate the grass and surrounding land is unsuitable.Climate is damaged to conditions of Animals, they need cover to allow them to develop and socialise in isolation. Types of grass which they eat suitable to diet.

Need lot of area to move around in especially wooded plots and habitue. This is wrong on several accounts.

MY HEART BREAKS.


Politics and music

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday put in an appearance at the Glastonbury music festival, urging revellers to band together to try to stop the conflict with Russia.

Zelensky made his appeal in English in a recorded video message to tens of thousands of festival-goers.

how vital that many gather and even though at event to break away from life for few days, they still offer compassion to those experiencing oppression and war.This is part of the purpose of music, linking others with experiences felt by those we may not know,creating better understating.

Allowing those very same people to adjust thinking, plus reflection upon return to more normal everyday stuff. 

That also part of my experience, it is festival purpose further nature.As autumn creeps back (please soon), we can reflect upon own response. Dig a bit deeper also while at Festival respond with those in around info tent,chat, drink a cuppa,enter dialogue ,discuss,read further.Make different friendships.

Some may have direct involvement.

Free Palestine and free school meals come immediate to mind.

May God grant me the stupidity to accept,


 Some people just not going to like myself.

Music

hair

Town l brought up in

Theology

education

Humour..success..triumphs..battles fought..thinking l do..l like me, he is a OK guy.

May God grant me the stupidity to accept, that l will move on , they will become like Dust in the Wind..only in my minds eye.

Amen.

Music can be a weapon, heard around the Zionist gathering . .Well that's hill-song`s one presume

 "If you could have what you wanted, hypothetically, what would that be? It's very much worth asking yourself that question because you're always searching for that anyways, even negatively, because your conscience will torment you for the things you're not doing."

Jordan Peterson..

l LIKE MUSIC AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW

but honestly just like music certain artist explore ,read about, listened too more than others.

But not biased against, like some classical gas, operatic very few, but in choice guess mostly its soul .

The lyrics are vital part of link.

Return again and again to the strength of music

its healing power.

But music can be a weapon, heard around the Zionist gathering yesterday, 
"My neighbour came out glaring, l just played my Gospel music louder"
But that`s our `East Riding Zionist` all over.
Suppose they have identified one music l do not like nor listen to `Quistian Muzak`

life at times can feel a bit too much, drying dishes and looking out the window.

want to read , but first want some mood music.

listen..then read,  Arrived home, as prepare a meal put podcast player on listen to discussion on Music.

BBC 4 has some excellent documentaries about all styles of music.Plus this weekend Glastonbury` festival` begins, that's good listen further good watch.

If person in despair, in Love, joy,heart broken...TONNES , searching, content, angry, politics, spirituality all 'good news stuff' in music.

Music lifts you even when its difficult day , you discover another shared that moment. They wrote/sang/performed about what You are going through.

If they made a song about that despair , they got through that moment.

So that inspiring in itself.

So to answer the Question , l would be a DEEJAY playing all the music each day for three hours and chatting to those listening about the music.

...Something has to inspire you, Perhaps then takes over.

Those we don`t like we call names like 

 deadbeats, smegheads, lowlifes,CHAVS, discover often those on the low income

 along with person vulnerable, disabled, untidy, many don`t like.
Explore site like Twitter, feeds on this,
True of lot social media.
Please, Lord fix us all,
 really don`t want for any person to want.
 Desire Love in every heart.
 That others Journey are cherished and to pave every road, with equality, fair prices, of course rights for all.

Then destroy every system that has ever damaged them.I Feel for the broken.Cherish time with vulnerable

 I want to sing about justice,mercy,peace, like Prophets of Old.
 
Like Martyn Joseph, Larry Norman,EZ7, U2, Dylan, Tom Waite's . . etc . .I want to understand the Lyrics that sing about better, about harmony, about Rivers where justice flows.

Just want to find that love,live in that place of paradise.

Never wanted riches untold, nor more than enough.

 . . never got anything like this Dream.


 You are far across the ocean but the war is not your own,

And while you're winning theirs, you're gonna lose the one at home;

Do you really think the only way to bring about the peace

Is to sacrifice your children and kill all your enemies?

The politicians all make speeches while the news men all take note,

And they exaggerate the issues as they shove them down our throats;

 . . . Well I wonder who would lead us if none of us would vote.

GODFATHER AND ME...SOON REUNITE


 Time soon to indulge myself...hospital with others first..each time brilliant script, acting, storyline, filming, we all should be part of a family support system like this one. Imagine of social services followed just a few of this families ethics.

Asked what would give this movie out of 10...?

Midst of Hurt

Feeling around another pain
Are consuming
my daily thoughts.
Actions limited,
Again and again
Return to this
Issue.
The Psalmist in pop hits of that period, writes in Psalm 6, about losing focus
About torment in sleep..about wounds, suffering.
Like me this day,
Psalmist asking for eyes find God and uncover perspective.
About wanting healing.
Like myself thinks this season will never end.

Administration issues
Home repairs
Abuses from those should know better
Make journey to wellness more difficult.


Left asking Lord for presence, healing further peace beyond human comprehension..
Please let that exist for me and Matthew in this illness, bring peace correct focus

Driving in my car , talking to God.

 

Driving home in my car from visit, 

talking to God. Mumbling thoughts, concerns out loud.

IF you or l reach a point where say, you believe already know everything, then nothing more you can learn or be taught.
IF we stop looking for answers, feel like no longer learning.
IF that odd stuff like curiosity dries, the lyrics in song, message in that film, the relationships you have formed.
If they no longer nourish you!
IF reach such a place..then the issue is You.
faith, relationship. uncomfortable stuff, fun of the singers words, laughter at old TOTP` performance, weirdness of TV movie if they just footprints in a sandy beach no longer imprints on  your thoughts, wrestling, concerns.
Its you that no longer developing nor growing.
None of us should arrive at this place.
IF you do..leave that place. FAST.

“The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.”

SOCRATES

l truthfully (level 5 truth) open, honest stuff, we sometimes share truth.

well been struggling not with believing, something about God being alongside others that concerned about, thoughts keep returning too. enabling them to find support..

"Where l cannot go often ask God by his spirit to be there bringing comfort,guidance,help."

Often I remember all that rambling stuff, sort of conversation hold with God in my Tabernacle style car. Can be listening to great track of music or Radio 4 news..then switch off and pray, ramble.. 

Indeed even a sports topic, calls me to switch off Pray for those all those journeys criss crossing across the country.

Journey a lot, plan playlist, check the practical tires, fuel, oil, snack ,drink.

IF get chance ramble, Pray, express. Wrestle my concerns thoughts aloud even.

When we lose this way of wrestling, l lose my connection with God and his purpose for me and those l care about.

Poverty leaves scars for life –Fact

 Poverty leaves scars for life – I’m still scared of strangers at the door and bills through the letterbox

Jack Monroe `campaigner for equality and poverty`.

Current cost of living crisis that threatens to plunge millions more people into poverty is going to have far longer-term impacts than a summer of discontent, a few months of belt-tightening or watching what we all spend at the supermarket.

Really excellent article from A voice of experience, pointing out long term affects, also issue for those been experiencing poverty for decades.

life is tough..it need not be so!

Mental health is another factor that increased ,emotional literacy, ability to chat,talk,communicate,enable others to understand, allow help, support streams been cut away.

worse

worse

worse than ever l felt we would witness.Wasted life combated the issues.


Try sitting in nature a park, and watch.

Never imagined this place we are presently existing, would be allowed in a just society.

One that has established ethics, moral compass, guidelines for treating looking after Vulnerable.

people not handling anxiety well at all, fears are growing, struggles feeling larger.

drugs becoming more solution.. .Society put its head in the sand. 

When emotional literacy is not present, people become isolated, sit alone,detached,nowhere to go, overthinking issue becomes out of context.

leads to threats, acts of violence.

Then exploitation occurs, more disharmony,more serious health concerns.

As a young person, experienced poverty as did many around myself.

when got to work like very many, we were on Apprenticeship wage.

Never got on Home owners ladder.

Moved into a profession,gained degree,qualified in high capacity. Became aware of poverty, others not getting by, released it was who l was.where l cam from, what l had achieved.

it got worse..it gets worse..


Brings us up to 2022

War in Europe

Economy, Low wages,gig style employment.

Fuel crisis so effects social cohesion..how we connect with each other.


We get told to watch the Dolphins, track nature, breathe, be still..

but issues not going away.

Perhaps we need a`not so quiet`revolution .

Faith cannot grow when issues are not identified, we need a reboot in out evangelism.

One that drags others `kicking and screaming`

into a more justice based, mercy overloaded, concerning revolution.

Silence solitude and praying

 Like Clay lovingly take hold of the Prodigal,make rough life experiences smooth.

We built sandcastles
We played in 
Rock-pools.

Years are unfolding,we are works in progress you oh Lord understand.

When can that progress be fulfilled.

Heartbeat of being,recognising you created this life, but still want to debate with you.

Common acceptance, trails, lost,love,life.

You breathed life into myself.

Silence and solitude are not scary

Just in this moment l am seeking.

Searching.

Still know find by these action what l am looking for, will place that with stuff already found.

I trust, just as presently l grieve.



Jun 14, 2022

Testing period

Lacking rhythms in my faith journey,

Feeling some emotions and lose,pain rejection.

Sharing. . Feelings.  . Experience . 

Vulnerable but I, like you, passed this way before been here previously in life.

Certain that what l do not see, 

God is working. Through long silence, now of hurting. Keep hold of our life's,make vessels that can hold depths.

Communication to each person is very different

Age,

place!

Feelings,

circumstances!

That persons sexuality.

Circumstance include, what chaos person may be experiencing before our stumbling into their life.

Sexuality,female may just be being delicate, male not good talker.

That not stereo type, just for this conversation.

What joy,sadness,trouble, arrived, before morning coffee all affect feeling, 

Place, maybe Person sat at home with huge bill just been opened.

Youth may be late up, older person could be tired, they may be unhealthy.

We stumble into that life, at that time,

With our sharing!

Allow grace when react to that awkward conversation.

Maybe a reason for them not seaming to listen.

Communication to each person is difficult, relationships are a challenge.Life is tough.

The road others are following is not always traveled joyfully.

But each person journeys are worth investment of Grace.

I need understanding, because presently not able to personally communicate well.

Recognise that is important step.

As a gathering,community,faith holders,Christianity enablers,

As a gathering,community, faith holders, Christianity enablers,We need more people committed to, trying to create flourishing churches, place ourselves in difficult communities, but gaining,working to develop a vision for growing churches, so we ` those following Jesus towards a different and better way of being`.

Understanding,wanting to bring hope as part of a response to the challenges, hard issues, faced by people in these environments, attend,support,belong to church in rural, urban, and suburban settings. Bringing better view of God`s DNA.

Life, so they say, is but a game

And they let it slip away
Love, like the autumn sun
Should be dying', but it's only just begun
Like the twilight in the road up ahead
They don't see just where we're going'
All the secrets in the universe

Whisper in our ears
And all the years, come and go
We may never pass this way again
Dreams, so they say, are for the fools
And they let 'em drift away
Peace, like the silent dove
Should be fl yin', but it's only just begun..
Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go
We may never pass this way again..

Are we able to spend time internally wondering what time is ahead.The places we have been, and people traveled with,
Some say there are no Problem people and just problems that people face. BUT that not quite the true picture there are some A minority, These are people who create problems constantly despite..
We may never pass this way again ..Sadly.

Jun 10, 2022

Meeting many who need loving arms.

Heard it said, people coping..l feel just

Having chaos: experiencing trauma.

Feeling forgotten, not sure anyone listening.

Sad and distressed, finding life real struggle.

Normal and your not sooner,relating to each other in Poverty',blues and hurting.

We all are, wrestling big stuff.

How we deal with now,is about resilience.

This should become your DNA.

You

Your journey

Not alone, the Damm of toughness will be broken

Hope

Hope will return.

This too will pass.

EVERYTHING ELSE BECOMES UNIMPORTANT...

 

Well when you are ill can be frustrating..

when watching another family or friend

life disappears in Hospitals.

No cups of tea required

time becomes slower then slow...


EVERYTHING ELSE BECOMES UNIMPORTANT...



Including this blogging thing at present but confident you accept and understand.

Value prayers for Matthew 36 hours so far just the blood transfusion.

Vomiting, sickness, poor health, blood.

Hope came.inform of Angels.. didn't visit.

They are already present in NHS.

I Could not perform the tasks, they walk into, As often witnessed as Cardiac patient.

“The business of life is the acquisition of memories. In the end that’s all there is.” — Carson, Downton Abbey.

If your Faith,your Church, Even your relationship with Lord Jesus, comes from keeping things as they are.

not growing,

not developing,

not community focused,

not concerned more with those not invited then those already attending.

 The last thing you want is for someone to start planting ideas in people’s heads about the way things could be, BUT `Emerging Church`looks often only to me like its trying to just abandoned whats is already there.

Those who label themselves trendy Nomadic..not really anything but, They have become fearful, something of a `CULT`, suggesting that anything outside of DECONSTRUCTING safety zone is chaos.

Unity

l think we have become so self possessed that anything to do with belonging,gathering,community, has to be self focused.

we have moved so far away from unifying ourselves together that slight disagreement results in some setting off to create their own version of events.

Here lies big issue..because l have discovered more among the emerging Church and the deconstructing persons that they do not allow nor embrace difference.

Its got lot to do with White middle class educated, (often in Arts and social sciences). I don`t know why has got professional experiences here.(50 YEARS).

Struggles with sexuality, serving come across, lot of ` fear of Crowds`, truth around Pentecostal teaching that misguided.

But answer to all issues with Church is firstly no longer attend. second stop reading Bible, attach themselves to a needs must led group.

Coffee and cake, Costa gathering become their place. Not inviting cross culture individuals.

Do not see love of serving others brief steps into `Church, youth, Children,Outside community settings, seam to have resulted in trauma.Brief interventions and patterns are shared but what comes across from own witness is `unhappiness and need to be alone.`

Now that is OK l am independent thinker and quite Maverick. Understand that being apart feels cool.

But always trying to create community, want to gather with others.

Need to argue ,discuss,disagree,talk,chat accept and grow further develop.


DECONSTRUCTING often about rejection...burnt myself out ..caught up in a fairly Charismatic..

 pursued experiences..miserable and full of shame..

Understand this is common Human experiences, not just associated with Christian Faith gatherings.

Out there in LIFE, Church, Faith gathering Following Jesus means we can be united in our sharing of such experiences, developing at whatever pace suits in these gatherings, rejoicing,wrestling should be done at these gatherings.


Its the faith journey, breaking away because you are not understood as not helped and l see many in DECONSTRUCTING process falling away from faith.

So l feel we need more unity, more sticking together, and yeah hope more understanding.

less breaking away.

How does a child know about kindness, it must flow around us

 

“All life is a series of problems which we must try and solve, first one and then the next and then the next, until at last we die.”

Sounds about right, oh by the way

this is from Downton Abbey.

No of course l don`t watch it..

Well the days of celebration have moved away, along with trashy elements of the occasion.

Sadly some things been found to remain the same.

Inflation..poverty..illness..weather even turned very cold..lack of social cohesion..Wickedness between people..lack of services..impoverished standards in shops..disconnection..detachment..

But if we carefully look.

we can see hope and beauty

this is a Glossy Ibis, nature.

Time with Friends walking along wet beach front.

accessing this internet thingy.

being able to buy food, cooking,wrestling with concerns, trusting health provider to improve.

Saw disabled older gent get a hug and conversation with two teenagers yesterday.

Older couple in late 70`s chatting with young girl about romance.

Child wanted to give some `nappy cream` to a person with sore legs.How does a child know about kindness, it must be from good parental values.

It not hidden, it what we need like a fountain it must flow around us in our groups.

"Like a fountain must flow into each community.

like a fountain it must flow deeper into our Nation.

Kindness, charity,concern sharing and love."

The Matthew blessing,

  The Matthew blessing, May God grant us enough stupidity to believe? We can go from this place and make the world a better place, May we wi...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . 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"
