We have the gospel, we have inferred messages, have own sense of purpose but persist in not wishing for better.


Are we all `Saintly people 'or is that journey we must finish, before others reflect that we were special ?
What way would you measure someone's `being good`, because some people appear to be choosing wrong side to be on. Just caught up with some news from all over. Not nice this place of ours. Locally saw Police wrestling people to the ground , 8 Police cars and Vans, around 20 officers.
Threats are made in our community to others, even individual old folk get into fist fights at 63 and 82. Fraud is applauded Time is wasted . Plus self centered witnessed in life style and group conversation. 
Look at global and national issues just a wee scam across news feeds its depressing...

Netanyahu to Congress: Israel is in a clash between barbarism and civilization.

But we have been here again and again yet we don't appear to this stumbling Yorkshire Pastor to be learning anything new. Here are few lines about an old film. Now its dated but the morals are present.


Chariots of Fire is the story of two (relative) outsiders, whose stories unfold in parallel, destined to compete alongside each other; they are rivals, teammates but never friends, and in fact they have no meaningful interaction in the drama, though one beats the other in an early heat. Liddell, is a clean-cut Scots rugby star, athlete and lay preacher, under pressure to resume his family’s missionary work in China. Cheryl Campbell has the rather thankless role of his anxious, querulous sister Jenny. Abrahams, is an undergraduate and athlete at Caius, Cambridge, smoldering and simmering with resentment at the antisemitism from the head porter.

Well its worth some of your time. Here the real rub, we don't try new ways of being. We have the gospel, we have inferred messages, we have own sense of purpose but communities persist in not wishing for better, groups don't even appear (to this fool), to want different. We've got the saints who have gone before. But many individuals desire own demons, own worse, embrace bitter past.

IF YOU WILL EXCUSE THE PUN, IN RELATION TO THE MOVIE, WE KEEP RUNNING ON EMPTY.

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"
