Slow.

I so very much enjoyed 'Winter-watch',
Made sure Packham and Mrs Strachan
                                                     Are aware.

Odd being in Hull town, dealing with educationally stunted. Local Authority appears to be hard stretched, struggling with poor recruitment,poor training, low wages.Not attracting high caliber of recruits. But as they creating more work for clients/tenant through administration paperwork, it's circle may move keep operating around at low speed.

Nature turns daily, the circle of Life turns, despite it being slow. 8 months trying get a home,not mine (disability accessible), proving ' bridge to far.

Very time consuming, own time is limited.

As is my patience.

 

Sign of 2023

 Just a bit too chilly, streets full of people as Sun came out.

But witnessed some low level hostile behaviour. Used skill's turned this into encounter that was better.

Unsure why unkindness is often first  image some project.

Violence is also the langues person uses, those around hear indelicate words,loudness, hallow laughter, discussion around what they claim did to others.

Violence is horrid way another in large voice, telling all who hear of his exploits.

Not a direct unkindness but echo of a state of play.

Think hurting internal, plus there maybe problem in home.

Poverty means also people, despicably often young,` forced` outdoors. Lacking provision and role models.

Seen same young kids, around street's most of this weekend.

NO COMMENT ....

 After the `George Floyd murder` nearly three years ago, l suppose many dared to hope that policing in America, (like other parts of western world ) would change. This weekend, another American city is baffled and shocked at appalling police conduct caught on camera.

This time it was not passers-by who filmed the scene.

Unfathomable brutality.

Five Memphis police officers - themselves all black - now face murder, assault and kidnapping charges.

Heart breaking...

Mr Nichols' father described his stepson as "a good kid" who was the baby of the family - he had two older brothers and one older sister.   He said the family would do everything they could to seek justice, but said anyone holding protests in Mr Nichols' name should do so peacefully, and should not carry out damage or looting.

Encounters required

When you try make sense of the present. Try create better connections , enjoy varied discussion, drink cups of tea, feast on marmalade toast.

Need to give you others, more of your listening active self.

Further we all should `journey together`, 

Whatever brings you here. Welcome.

Nature is captured, recorded,studied on BBC Winter watch. Oh how beautiful inspiring rewarding and filling our spirits.

Locality of North Yorkshire someone's shared these images.

WOW Hope you feel something from nature, each other and LIFE around you.

Pictures taken in the harbour up North Yorkshire coast close to Scarborough.

Area visit often plus blogged about tonne of times on these pages.

How do l capture that mood,that feeling,that emotion.

Someone stated this simple fact.

“there is a place for all art, including ugly art”

pretty encouraging really.

A man , perhaps like myself chose that he like his ashes scattered from the end of the cliffs.

Cliffs he had walked along often in LIFE.

 where he used to know a cafe ,where with family plus his mates, enjoy a cuppa. They’d sit on wooden outside benches, chatting, recovering from walk. Sometimes wind blew hard,cold perhaps too often.

 Never liked seagulls that stood on the railing, all puffed up with screamingly own importance, he knew they were the bullies of Ornithological world. The Puffins made up for this disturbance by simply being cute,coulerful and local.

Returning to this medium after short period exploring making `nonsense of God`.

What couler am l ?

Does that couler change daily?

Is it a reflection of the mood l am in?

How do l capture that mood,that feeling,that emotion.

Bad theology often rooted in poor mental health issues!

 Very many of these Bad theology's speakers proven to hold low self esteem.

Poor relationships experienced trauma. Not good communicators.

Therefore hiding behind Bad theology becomes normal way of being.

Bad theology damages families, communities and the image of loving God.

God's love is bigger,wider further has more meaning then we can grasp.

That is Correct theology.

Everybody burns review of Channel 4 comedy

Beyond the crazy, funny, accurate processing of presented `Bad theology` vain, that script writers unearthed.

There is a deep sadness.

Such a world exists of Bad damaged believer's. Oppose every individual who does not accept their view,create hurt among own family, spreading pesticide of dislike, while confident own brand of sacrifice is acceptable to a God they get confused around.

Bad theology although funny, it brings Love of God into disrepute.

There are No winners with Bad theology.

A conversation about being disassociated from fellowship.

Something counseling another about in the Past was touched upon in last nights programme.

Crazy but it happens, brings tears heartaches and pain.

Bad theology damages others. 

Everyone Else Burns.....oh yeah we will never pray for them Palestine Christians.

 Everyone Else Burns, is a subversive, authentic and bitingly funny exploration into what it feels like to balance faith, family and identity in a world that could end tomorrow (but probably won't).

"in fact they wont all burn...Gods love is deeper, wider, more knowing than we imagine...The early Church only believed in three theological stances around end times..Every bodies burns was not one, Although everybody burns (unsure how long for), if you were committed to Rome city style of living.

IN THE THEN ,HERE AND NOW.

Most early Christians where aware of universalised end times, God redeems all creating a new kingdom, bringing his `WAY OF BEING` into the next stage of life.

RPpayne legal info.....

Tonight on channel 4. 21-00

Everybody else burns

If you thought that this is comedy 

You`ve never visited the East Riding ,Where Zionist Church which houses the HATE preacher of Toll Gavel.

It actually exists, so removed from `following Jesus` impossible to believe.

Everybody else Burns 22-00 Ch 4

l am along with others expecting not just a good laugh, but several embarrassing moments as point to, further recognise some who really have got the love of God wrong.

Know a few who are hording,(tins of food,weapons,resources ), living along end times theology.

Oh yeah . . .`we will never pray for them`... Palestine Christians.

Save that for another day. ENJOY AND DON`T FORGET TO LAUGH.

Spoke to my friend again today he said..

were going up in smoke and we ain`t got a hope.

Forty days, forty nights

It rained all over the world to be exact

Sinners played, disobeyed

The word coming' down, that's a fact

Some people took it for a joke

Just can't understand

They nailed our Savior to the cross

But He told them all He would rise again, rise again

I talked to my friend again today

This is what he had to say, he said

We're goin' up in smoke, goin' up in smoke

And we ain't got no hope, we're goin' up in smoke

Goin' up in smoke, goin' up in smoke

And we ain't got no hope 'cause we're goin' up in smoke

Saturday in Rural North with @spiritofthestreets58

 

Thrill of a climb.

Greyness and mist lifted

Jam sandwiches tasted fine.

Cup of tea was welcome,

Bus home was crowded.

Windows all misted over

Kids lot of 'em on iPad's

Older folk had shopping

Quarter cows tongue, some Hazlitt,coloured cheddar. Slice ham Quiche.

Got off Bus near home,bought TV mag.

Had Spent early morning sending MP email update. Plus council issue.

Saturday's the new Wednesday.

Back home, Motown moment.

Gladys Knight is singing on old 45

as the needle hits the track!

"..hard for us to think ..were not gonna make it... And it`s gotten to the place where we can't fake it..."

Safe place,deep breath, return.

This Town has beautiful sunsets.

But day hiding Chill factor

Neglect to show fully poverty nor the rottenness behaviour.

The locality has wild  Deer's, also nature that is awesome

In nature there is this harshness , more ever more beauty then we fully understand.

This place is my home. My refuge even at times, an escape.

Do you have a place that holds beauty?

Do you have a refugee.?

We all sometimes need an escape.

Grasp a deep breath, then return.

TOR IME

Moreover I need haircut.

Face looks jowly

as well.

Next on my to-do.

STEWARD WELL

The point here is that ANYONE (not just nurses) earning *MORE* than 30k, & are using food-banks must have a budgeting problem. I know very many people some in armed forces, bin men, bar staff, care workers, youth work staff, bus drivers, service providers and many many more (don`t want to forget pensioners).

Who can all live on less. Keep asking, having had to steward resources all my life.

Am I missing something ? you cant get by on 335000 A YEAR.

Perhaps people over stretched with mortgage, pets, holidays, fashions, IT. usage,streaming services ,sky Dish, type of transport.

Inflation hit rents, food prices, getting to places...But still got to sit work out costings.

I walk daily, get out early get warm have cuppa, chat check on family member we have radiators on.

Then later that day we have a boost, wrap up. Eat within our budget, not in credit nor debt to anyone.

So reading some music papers from a while ago also introduced someone to few newish folk tracks.

they did not like them .

But they enjoyed listening.

that real vital...tried to listen but simply not the trend they appreciate.

WITHOUT A VISION PEOPLE VANISH NOT KNOWING WHO TO FOLLOW.

WITHOUT A VISION A PERSON CAN MANIPULATE `FOLLOWERS OF HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE MESSAGE`, TO GIVE THEM MORE POWER.

The way is not to develop Cult following.

Some words have to do heavy lifting.

Pastoral is such a word, l have been commissioned to lead Church community. Experience is in work among those, largely who do not follow teachings of Jesus.

Main focus has been Young people and immediate families.

Action plans always included Empowerment and participation.

Delegation part of this focus.

Hurts when see Shamanic males, leading in ways that do not embrace these principles.

They develop 'Cult following', building own power base. More so in Rural, isolated community.

They are not bringing people to Kingdom but to own 'way of being'!

Light must always shine onto Jesus.

l am grateful for all these and more.

 Peace, `Watching winter watch BBC`,

with hot-drink, chocolate biscuit and others chatting.

Air that l breathe

songs l listen too

Health
Family & Friendship.
Purpose.
Time.
Learning.
Love.
Walks on the beach
relationships
conversations
Bread and jam


NOT always having enough, brokenness
vulnerabilities, the learning from these.
TV . . yes Vinyl..Yes CDs music and noise
Bible
Faith shared with myself
journey l am taking

ALL of you whoever you are for entering my life.

‘Emotional literacy’ needs to be understood, use less the term Mental illness.

WAS ASKED RECENTLY.. Around Emotional literacy ( Term that`s heavy carrier).

Anyway was asked, Can Emotional literacy, be driving force in persons development. Would this be an explanation for becoming stunted in childhood.

WELL I am not that educated alone in this field, neither is it my expertise, as adjective the except wording is fairly new, becoming more `practice sounding` in late 99 into the mid 2009.

Mental illness in my own view, is much overused, and Emotional literacy is not correctly understood.

Becoming Detached, More isolation , lack of `social Cohesion/Modality, limited services, poverty, plus education are all factors.

In YCW we used to work on holistic framework of leisurely pursuits, emotional development, physical development and spiritual growth. 

Then we cut out Spiritual growth, worked harder at Sport and games, ignored emotional development.

Cut backs on programmes where leisure was vital.Sold playing fields, closed centres, Secularists became concerned with `educational achievement`, above Holistic growth.

Now we have kids with low self esteem, Lack of self resilience, bullied, strive to be active on social media, but cannot hold a 1-1 conversation. Plugged into Mobile I.T. network yet never smelt `Vinyl `,nor played a record to a group.

Missing talking to a large group about feelings, music they love, deeper stuff internal.

Seldom get out of own streets, Fear is huge issue.

Faith community which were places that groups gathered to form ,storm and become community. Become places we targeted for closure.

Here Individuals mixed with people of different ages, backgrounds, and shared beliefs.

We no longer argue,debate,agree,ponder,reflect.

We teach people to `google the answer.`

As long as the answers the one we want to direct them towards.

Nearly 1 million people in last three years have change their gender, in last 3 years alone.

One further example of us hiding behind a headline ,while ignoring, failing to identify real concerns.

A State of independence has advantages.

Someone told me this...  I don’t believe the church offers anything that can fill that void on a Friday night. It can’t make up for sleeping alone, hearing the floor creak and knowing you're alone. Church can’t fill empty spaces. It can’t erase that sigh upon entering a dark, empty home at night after night. It can’t provide a date for those events designed for couples. It won’t send you flowers on Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t make up for no presents on Christmas morning . It won’t make up for the countless microwave meals eaten church cannot make up waking up alone days, weeks, months, years, and more. There’s just no adequate substitute for family.

That not the role of church it neither role of Faith .

Sometimes, we don't find  . . .what you are looking for .. But it doesn't stop me believing in the Kingdom to come.

I'm not going to start deconstructing my following of Jesus.

Based on my lack of personal growth with another, nor period of missing out on few invites.   A State of independence has advantages.

I am to Old to have..'Gone too soon'..played at my Funeral. Officially.

We truth be told,have had lot of Male death's in our rural coastal community.

3 Brothers, committed suicide in last 2 years from same family.

Mystery surrounds older 52 guys death in a fire,that first killed his dogs, silently?

He was found unconscious, uncannily no `Fire Alarms`, had been activated

Further some not identified.

No-one is allowed to ask why?

Because that conversation feels uncomfortable. You can even get Blackballed if you are asking..

"What's going on"..

Like a plot in a TV drama ,something simply going wrong.

Connected with Emotional literacy...lack of Spiritual growth...male ego...hidden issues.

Hushed circles heard women plus few men express questions that get shut down.

I am officially, too Old to have..'Gone too soon'..played at my Funeral.

This Christians asks that take time prayerfully, either `God is Love`, wants us in the Kingdom.

 

Its Kraftwerk ...

we are the Robots..

(I'm your slave)

(I'm your worker)  .  .   .We are the robots

This Christians ask that we take time to prayerfully work through difficult, and faith-shaking questions, either `God is Love` and wants us in the Kingdom.
Or he is hateful and wants us condemned to an eternity of awfulness based on another's interpretation of his complex word and works.    Not both .

Bad theology about Jesus taking you to heaven,damages people.

 Are you going to heaven?

NO not asking but dodgy theology's of East Riding Rural community of `Zionists` are asking this question.well not but making rather ugly comments, disguised ,wrapped up in bad theology.

As l keep reminding `we all have a theology, a sense of God etc..`

Promoting dodgy theology to support this argument.

“Will only a few select people make it to heaven and will billions and billions burn forever in hell?” 

Wonder why..beside another excuse to `exclude others` they don't like.

Jesus did not die so a few select can go to Heaven.He came to bear witness to Love of God, by establishing his Kingdom here and now.

Yet this simple truth, central truth is not explored.

Why?

Because it would mean explore own inward looking culture.

Losing own comfortable culture where everyone appears as own identity.

Old,white,same class,agreement to `value platform` that very Victorian. Also `conservative` and more to do with so called` correct behaviour` then Kingdom principles.

As long as you agree, conform,play along.

Your on board,got your pass to heaven.

This Christians ask that we take time to prayerfully work through difficult and faith-shaking questions, either God is Love and wants us in the Kingdom.

Or he is hateful and wants us condemned to an eternity of awfulness based on anthers interpretation of his complex word and works.

Not both .

May God grant us the Stupidity to believe Kingdom is nearer then Heaven.

Are we asking too much.

Now what l want, is to work out what there is ahead. The future refuses to change, but where else should we go?

Looking out over the cliffs I sometimes become a little overwhelmed.

Get this real sense of time slipping away when looking out at the coast.

It hurts, then get to wondering why.

Because the future appears unsure, but it feels to myself like its on repeat.

lt`s a view that odd, (like me). 

Hold me in your thoughts. Take me to your dreams. Touch me as I fall into view. When the winter comes. Keep the fires lit. And I will be right next to you.

l was wondering, Discussing with others late last evening if Harry getting correct advice.

What ever the issue`s are, they appear also to do with privilege, and the background stories from each perspective he presents.

Concerned as to what counsel being presented, or indeed rejected.

Have you not like myself made comments ,worn decisions due to LIFE and not quite grasping ,what was really happening at that time.

I am older know you see, wish didn't know now

what l didn't know then.

 

Did anyone else WOKE up feeling little Ginger today...

 ON THE TWITTER PLATFORM THIS IS PRETTY IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

@DrProudman

Andrew Tate was arrested in UK for ‘rape’ and probed over sex cam business before appearing on Big Brother.

Why are misogynists and those accused of abuse allowed a platform on TV? It makes misogynists powerful — and normalises the hatred of women among men and teenagers.

You see that one of my concerns, not a worry. Men are not like this, TV and REALITY programmes are anything but reality they are fake.

That`s what society treasures a great deal fake, from tans to false names to untruths wrongful accusations,Gossip.

Truth, what is truth as the Lord Jesus once asked..

Truth is not valued.

Really decent question, feel need to separate what is presented as real. What values many men hold as proper, decent, and caring. You too often fail to do this!

Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow; but it empties today of strength.’ – Corrie Ten Boom

@spiritodelarue But concern is different.

So l ask...should we concern ourselves about empty shops, empty government promises...leading to despair illness etc...

@nickygumbel

We should never conflate worry with legitimate concern. God gave us a brain and the ability to reason to help us solve problems. But when the issue isn’t solvable, we pray and let God do the floor-pacing while we rest in His sovereignty ❤️

OH Right didn't know it was that easy,Here l been working on solutions `with` God, when all the time l could just sat back `pick up phone`occasionally just let him carry the weight. .
