Are you forgetting.There are real issues people are facing.

News media brought to our view a repulsive scene at the United Nations. When last week delegates walked out when Israel president Netanyahu took the podium. He got it correct when stating you've forgotten what happened and you don't care.You do not get to walk out when you do not like part of the position. You do not wish to hear words. As adults you sit, silent, being very respectable instead of behaving like disagreeable children.

l don't really honestly have a large capital P political, my own view if hold political stance. Just simply emphasizes the need for a new justice, be merciful. Care for the vulnerable. But the political class system in Britain is no longer fit to support any like myself . Definitely feel that current policies are failing more directly young people, appears lack of involvement nor is there evidence in education that we communicate with youth about concerns.

Regarding housing as an example, we are seeing local that young families, individuals are being placed in Dickensian social housing.

Overcrowding, lack of garden, multi occupancy. This type of allocation, is because they are not being prioritised immigrants are given better choices with bigger families they are first in line.

This may feel like expressed a controversial view, but what witness in local towns gives me great concerns about immigration. How it is impacting the future potential of local families but soon the Child who becomes Adult.

My political activities, included writing about impoverished, working four decades in inner cities almost exclusively .

These are serious political issues facing the this country, they are issues facing local community, but they impact individuals who are in the most dangerous situation. Struggle in schools, employment, wages are lower opportunities for trades are almost non evident. They dress poorer,diets are unhealthy and mind games they are exposed too leave them demoralised.

We must take the issue of immigration seriously and limit harshly so our young people no longer disadvantaged. This is the biggest political challenges we face.

Been making poems about waking up early....

Too all of those who wake at three

Desperate to have a pee

May the day bring to thee

Much happiness and sheer relief.

To those of you who wake at four stood by the toilet 

Doing more

Be careful to wipe the drops of your toes..

To those of you awake at five lying there again you rise

To keep the neighbours entertained 

As you pull another chain

To those of you sat up at six eating dry Weetabix 

Hoping this will do the trick

Soak up internally those moisture bits 

To those of you sleeping thru at seven this extra hour feels like heaven

To those of you awake at eight covered head to foot in Shi'ite 

The Weetabix it did the trick but made your belly really sick …

Tears tantrums drama and cheek.

 

When the day was younger and the shadows of what LIFE would bring had not been showered around myself. I rode a green benellie 125 cc. Discovered so much about road craft then believe it enabled myself to pass my car test first time. It sometimes was a dangerous journey around Yorkshire on that Bike. Life is like that it can be fraught.

Today been interesting with many interaction that showed me how common unity of gathering , communicating conversations are difficult. From young nephews cinema choice. To his bit of rudeness. To Someone's Pet dieing followed by perceived lack of physical support. 

Tears tantrums drama and cheek.

 Saturday in Hull area.

Faith like most things in LIFE should be long, `chatty aboutie` further can be convoluted.

 

FAITH LIKE MOST THINGS IN LIFE
CAN BE LONG AND CONVOLUTED IF YOUR DECIDING TO MAKE A DECISION THAT STATES,
" I FOLLOW JESUS".
GROWNG IN THE FAITH DOES NOT SIT IN A PLACE CALLED COMFORTABLE.

Part of our human character is trying to convince others that found something worth experiencing.

Along with faith, get like that about Malta. It takes little for myself to be going off on one about `My Island in the sun`. (Yes l believe its my island.) Sometimes of course the author here , Kevin feels he has to process that `others with same Faith can hold very different way of saying the same things about what we are supposed to believe`. Its important in that process to be willing to just, talk … to chat , spend time actively listening, talking long about any issue.

Faith growth can be slow but may need to go round explore widening range of conversations, lots of reading. Joyfully meet many varied people to develop own grasp of big cosmic stuff, even miniacay  many share in discussion.

This l was reminded about only this week in `little but wonderful` narrative with Church folk.

l will not buy anything Spanish till Catalonia is free from the Pyrenees to the Meditearian sea.

l will not buy anything Spanish till Catalonia is free from the Pyrenees to the Meditearian sea.

The Pyrenees stretch more than 400 kilometers between Navarre, Aragon and Catalonia. Acting as a natural border between Spain and the rest of Europe, This mountain range runs horizontally along the north of the country.

Time passes you by....

There are beautiful days when the sun shines and all feels right with the world. The world has we know it, Well imagine `living together in peace harmony with enough to share .. conversations...To run and never tire...To hear all the words...to see and understand`.

 Guess just old man dreaming dreams holding a vision.

 

The crime the Jewish people have committed...Born Israeli.

Struggling still with awful events of October the 7th 2023. Still l grieve. Why do so many wicked acts come from the Islamic ethics. Perhaps that's why they don't like to be questioned.

Those events are like those of September the 11th. They are a measure of where wickedness further Evil originates. You may be wondering what is the crime of these people on  October the 7th..?..They were Israeli.

Hermitage journey day 

Has l travelled today with own thoughts hermitage journey to the coast. Wonderful orthanoligy Buzzard circling higher huge wingspans.

Large Sparrow hawk fluttered it's prey knowing above was a bird that can see it's urine trail from 75 feet away.

Swallows just a few feeding up before join others on long travel to South Africa.

Fishing fleet came home from nearby catchment area. Autumnal seas are higher and go out longer leaving shallow mud race into harbours.

Good to reflect while trying to  destress of awfulness. Around wars taking place in both middle east Gaza ..Europe in Ukraine.

Try to work out kingdom template.

 So once again we chose for ourselves – opened the doors to chaos, this becomes evident and present whenever God’s hand does not rest upon our hearts nor our minds. Brutal in its clarity. “Never again” is not a slogan :-deeds matter and the future is not preordained.

Saw example today walking down a street someone told me to move from thier property. l was passing or they would set the large 'Pitbull' dog onto myself. They also little later argued with other dog walkers, verbally assaulted school kids and parents.

This person is in chaos ripples spread as she disturbed others. But chaos met other chaos and results was further Chao's. Not nice threats, insults, blame and it looked ugly. Minds not settled hearts were not graceful. We need to avoid the vexation. Search for a purity and let that sink into our real lasting influences.

I feasted upon harmony in Church yesterday. Often find hope, purity, harmony in these gatherings. No chaos because mind is watered by Biblical struggle work out template of kingdom values. 

Such gatherings have been vital to my growth. My prayer is that we all can remain close plus gather with many others. But more than that wish same for you good people.

Matty........longest time without you son.

Matthew David....missed further loved.

Those long walks not been the same, birds in flight go overhead unnamed. Gardens never been as tended as when you walked. Often in my mind, see you coming out greenhouse chopping a tomato you grew.

cynical Kevin says ... "Where's the Hope"?

 So cynical Kevin says ...

"Where's the Hope"?

Well it's in all those singing songs about making a Stand, it's in thousands voices chosen to remain silent... where's the Hope...it's in many who will sit.

Reflect 

Ponder anew 

They will be rewarded. Because they looked for the Hope. It's in an angry singer borrowing a guitar to sing about songs that recognise there are ' Deceivers ' activities. People like Kevin writing a blog that encourages others to have values, to be self aware, think about others, explore Kingdom values.

Further up most, to follow the voice that says Follow me.

Yet again thoughts turned again...sorry again... To hostages

Keir Starmer has acknowledged the Jewish community will again welcome the arrival of Judea's new year `Rosh Hashanah` with a “heavy heart” .Yet again thoughts turned again...sorry again...
To hostages , who are still held in by Hamas, allegeable in Gaza.
 This sacred moment invites us to pause, to consider the year gone by, and to look ahead with hope and resolve.

It been nearly two years since October the 7th. I still not been able to process many issues happening. Do know this World is lot unsafer, worse for the divisions.

Astounded at fact Jewish persons are attacked publicly. Witnessed in city of Hull east Yorkshire Palestine action to bring further disharmony. No efforts for peace.

 

Not surprised that those in authority been found out to be biased against those who actually suffer the most. Suffer most economical suffer when migrants attack girls at dance contest's. Suffer when cutbacks take away services. Suffer when housing not available. Suffer when they are rejected for employment opportunities.

Yet the very same people, ( from actual experience),  held hands out welcomed Jewish people seeking Asylum. Worked with them , for them, among them.

Asking where is the hope?

Time for grown ups with grown up ideas to lead.

Been wondering has the society become so hostile while the Judeo Christian experiment was rejected. All values many of them Kingdom of God ethics began to be reconstructed in late 60's. Now they are openly challenged and replaced by conduct that governs in anger. But rejoices in the destruction of the former values.

However despite the anger and joy they have completely felt, noone can now lead through now murky waters. That's becoming a major problem it was good to dance on the 'funeral pyre' but now time for grown ups with grown up ideas to lead.

Oh yeah they can protest the Left are good at that. Palestine this week...Anti racist next week...hatred of the opposition. Anything that needs protesting will be protested. But grown up responsibility they are difficult and should be ignored.

The new left with dyed hair purple colouring, rings in the nose. Lips pierced with sharp fittings. Tattooed around eyes cheeks and necks.

Today it's Trump. Something angers me although only slightly in way they treat those they are opposed too. One value that screams out is way we treat rulers leaders of other democracies.

I remember Band Aid and the reading around the issue, exploring poverty. Middle east region conflict, meeting people talking about peace in Palestine. Remember university where had to be in practice to study the subject. These experiences of protest involved myself reflecting internally first on the issue.
Then my emotional literacy formed the external view then processed, maybe clumsy but `thoughts` `prayer` and reflection had at least happened . These experiences were like Diamonds shining into the dullest darkest nights.
So much is missing. Have we arrived at the periods biblically when we are told they will look and not see, they will listen and not hear me. 

Acts 28:26-27 ..‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.” / For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’

Our Capacity to love or not too.

Our hearts are human hearts and we all have the capacity to love.

Dark thoughts and menace wickedness and evil visit us but our hearts can reject or give such feelings a home. Be sure hatred will beget hatred.

Wickedness and violence will sweep away kindness Grace forgiveness and gratitude.

Whatever people's thoughts are this gentleman probably used Lord Jesus Christ as patriot political figure. But nothing can excuse hatred metered towards him. His heart was a human heart he demonstrated the capacity to love. Engaged with many outside his pleasure dome. Violence actually visible arrived because evil had festered into another and swept away grace, forgiveness. Instead of words a bullet rang out.

The uninvited wickedness found a home in another heart and grew. Eventually the actions of darkness grew and prevailed. Like the timber box of middle East. We need to re-engage and give our hearts tools to affirm grace forgiveness gratitude and Love.
 

So we climbed. I gritted my teeth pushed on.

So climbed higher and higher felt like quitting just like when attempted Pen Y Ghent in Yorkshire dales. But my boots weren't helpful. At times felt like I was dying due to my issue with Oxygen capacity. Felt sick tired and little bit ill. The time in gym recently has been giving me sense of achievement 

So we climbed. I gritted my teeth pushed on.
Knackered then got really upset all way up to that height.
All that tension indeed pain, hassle. God wasn't in. 
God wasn't in....Lord life can be tough at times. 

Time for a bath plus long hot soak.

Looking for Kingdom Clue's...

At my very best searching for those clues dropped often by others, which tell me that the kingdom of God is evident. Relevant in questions posed by others, hint that person's see the world in better way. Can be a sense of Creator in rays of morning sun. Sound of leaves rustling being blown down a rain soaked street.

Such hints are what looking for which sometimes accidentally we can witness. Then to myself  it feels divine and triggers the better way of being, the different way of living, as we are collecting in common unity with another who wants to make things transformed.

Here an example from debate that was on TV.
judge Rod Rinder speaks ..

‘When every opponent is called a Nazi, history is cheapened, debate is destroyed, and lives are put at risk. Abusing the word Nazi doesn’t only insult history, it poisons politics, fuels hatred, and costs lives’.

I then find he opened the bedate welcoming opposite view but spoke with own clarity in open honest way. Discipline is also evident. How we should discuss share even if it difficult perhaps also hostile.

ITS JUST A JUDEO CHRISTAIN THING WE HAVE ROUND HERE.

 In Western (Christian) thought, God is traditionally described as a being that possesses at least three necessary properties: omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnibenevolence (supremely good). In other words, God knows everything, has the power to do anything, and is perfectly good.

Love God;- Love One another;- Follow Jesus. When your doing that as best as you can get in touch.

Famous speech in which FDR declared that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself", had numerous religious references, which was widely commented upon at the time. Although it did not use the term "Judeo-Christian", it has come to be seen by scholars as in tune with the emerging view of a Judeo-Christian tradition.

 Historian Mary Stuckey emphasizes "Roosevelt's use of the shared values grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition" as a way to unify the American nation, and justify his own role as its chief policymaker.

Love God;- Love One another;- Follow Jesus. That's enough keep doing that as best as you can get in touch with all others attempting the same. Keep on doing that.

Everyone needs to be open to discussion, debate, and criticism.

The cowards who fight others views with evil sniper laying low, using bullet rather than words has no place in any `Judeo Christian situation`. More especially when we are engaging in conversations. Defiantly need to have more conversations among those we don't agree with.

Found it very disturbing following these actions to witness degrees of celebrating. Unimaginable this must be for the individuals family friends. Evil act against a husband, father, mate, friend, communicators.

People stood up and celebrate this activity `really simply just disgusting` . As Paul told Timothy (2Tim. 2:17), gangrene does not stay put. It spreads and corrupts other parts of the body in ways that may not be anticipated in the moment.

Further to label people right wing or Left wing and other many groupings, so to create further disharmony, distrust and bring about more violence. It is a stain on our 'Judeo Christian legacy" plus heritage.

Who include myself thinks this will bring persons words to an end, NO only divide people further. Let me know who Thinks killing, those acts of violence, again threats against others enables growth. Only stand as an example of why everyone needs to be open to discussion, debate, and criticism, as well as becoming more accepting of others’ views.

Keep returning to this view again and again we must grow in uncomfortable not just among my own like .

Busker sings in style Tom Waite would Struggle to murder.

 Retreated to the hermitage of Yorkshire coast far north as we can get. Sat few cafes drinking but observing older folk in general chatting. Happy to shopped at M&S got socks they loved, knitting patterns from Market places. Old CDs.

Busker sings songs Tom Waite would sounded better mumbling. The steep hills were a challenge steps up to Richard 2nd castle. Lined with trees sometimes walls holes from battles fought keep the area free.

Gazed silently at the sea. Starred into the distance. Watched fishing boat creep into the harbour. Glazed reflection on the sea. Northern Diver came up several times before descending to depths of sea catch a few mackerel.

Curlews scattered around tideline on beach. Wagtails moved to and fro, Various gulls echoed noises, calls. Threatening annoying angry and bullying.

Happy valley feeling as assisted vulnerable older folk into a restaurant seat to enjoy his dinner, while companion placed her order. Listened to lady whose husband died she started to independently travel. Grimsby last week, West Yorkshire week before. Scarborough today.

People gathering finding time to share thoughts, vulnerability and feelings. 'God bless you' is heard transmitted it's meaning received. God bless.

But darkness is evident. Those ignoring voices of vulnerable. Powers use lies to hide mistakes Act cruelly unnecessary harsh to keep weakest shackled.

Words not within myself, I`m starring into silence. Silence of the wind, wet rain, leaves changing colours, colours of changing season. Quietness sat in crowded café drinking much appreciated cup of tea. Alone but part of common unity.

Oh Lord be my surity...

So my eyes are stayed on you.

As l …little humble being

Watching swallows , high ridges, wagtails on beach tidal marks, young buzzard on private hedge still bossing the sky's.

When lift my eyes upon the Lord, he shows me water deer, line of them in fields standing partly hidden by mist. These sights made visible to those who Starr ahead.

We should all be doing lots more kissing. All need lot more Loving.

Heard something that's confusing...heard it on the Radio... That ...

"Loves in need of love today."

Skys clear hot suns mocking us all.

 The sound of the waves and the cries...Of the seagulls circling the sand, one found a muscle, others gulls wish you take it 

In the fragments of the songs, Carried down the wind from some radio. ....Arcades like gulls scream a neon light message composed of greed gambling and ultimately poverty.

To my bestie promise this...If you ever need holding......Call my name, I’ll be there

If you ever need holding, And no holding back, I’ll see you through...

Now Autumn leaves are falling , reds Autumn brown,some bronze yellow, fruit hanging low. This guy once tried to find out...where the birds called 'Amazon's' came from..you know like in the film "swallows and Amazon's" , ( much to others amusement)... gosh what a time it was what a time ...So long ago. Tides keep turning. Season keep disappearing.  Ghosts constant companion. Silent often alongside starring into a tomorrow no one's promised. But all hope to see. 

About this stuff...Called Spiritual.

All my life think we've missed an essential ingredient that when person of my skill based attempts to communicate. "Get Dissed"

That's down with the kids wording. People not concerned, interested, nor do they think this stuff affects them. It should and it must.

In our depths we hold shadows there's books on this...not going on about that aspect of that 'Stuff'.

Talking about joy. Wonder creativeness...About feeling should offer grace display forgiveness...if got to much give belongings away...gathering and communication.

Also development into spirituality of U. Self esteem your importance, how you see your self and being able to cope with blues...losing and lose ....resilience.

All that 'Stuff' along with how you make sense of God...Christianity. .Jesus...religious practices .. lyrics in songs and drama of Films general storytelling 

The 'Stuff'.... of practically getting by. You see it's not fairy in the sky 'Stuff'.

Followers describe themselves as deconstructed are worldly

 It seams to myself as walked the empty quiet streets with persons who held no interest about issues, evident don't use new media, social interactions. Absolutely no communications about anything deep.

Something missing out among impoverished British community. Nothing really happening. Like when England scrape 1-0 win against Andorra. Not worth getting involved with. As it serves no purpose.

Church and especially the former Jesus followers openly describe themselves as deconstructed are now so worldly. So involved in the world they have nothing to offer. Nomadic  can't be an alternative. They have no desire to defend the Church nor faith of the Bible. Because they are selfish self centred invest in self alone. But author here says. Yes question the Church, wrestle with faith. Question biblical statements.

But aligned with false religions, cultures, plus liers!

They 'the deconstructed 'have become tolerant of world views, isolationism,homosexualities, transgender. No interest in economic wellbeing of poverty stricken (just an example).  To the extent that deconstructed take up precious time. We have female clergy from privilege, supported in educational attainment by basis towards them. Tolerant of same educated class.

Dr Rachel Mann South London Parish church, supporter of Palestine action terrorist group. Privilege, educated foolish.

Not different not better. World made so comfortable in the Church it now sets the agenda. Hence we are reluctant to speak out supporting views with Biblical text, actions become fearful of upsetting our friends. Friends who we are more closer too then our fellowship, our estranged former community, no believer supports them, because argued with fellowships ideals deconstructed needs to accuse them of confirming all new fears, which they inhabitant.

Very surprised how few Christians know the Bible. Know books around the Bible lifestyle. Surprised how little evidence exists of Bible study. Prayer groups. We need to take time to grow. Develop discipline of being able to argue ,debate, commitment to fellowship. Try new times of gathering. Explore spirituality in films music common practices. Explore beginnings and new practices of sharing emerging Church. 

Spend less time on trans debates, liberal sexuality, left leaning politics. Stand against privilege power of Class in the Church. Get onto the streets, invest in youth. Honour your still living saints.

Sorry folks it's not true, Lady Penelope's a puppet, Parker actually a career criminal and noone knows what FAB stood for.

Suppose sometimes a moment takes you away and just forget to use caution. Get bit carried away perhaps dream a bit. The Bible says old man will dream dreams .

Perhaps it defined in terms of theology visioners carry into LIFE when Autumn arrived for them.

Songwriters imagine all sorts of dreams .even Frankie Vallie...

" If you believe in dreams enough then they'll believe in you, that's what you used to tell me so l know it must be true". 

Sorry folks it's not true, Lady Penelope's a puppet, Parker actually a career criminal and noone knows what FAB stood for.

Nobody's promised tomorrow...miss you son.

 Again the swallows flutter above us they already know it's time to leave. A sparrowhawk hovered in the skies earlier knowing it must catch it's meal. The rains came again Remind us summer is disappearing.

Nephew brought calm to the day expressing how much he was enjoying school. Better play area Maths is good and lots new friends. Neighbours arrived moved into empty property with all challenges but also new possibilities. That's LIFE.

Old model Triumph motorcycle, stood silent on quieter bikers night the rains properly kept others indoors. With five deaths among the community since July caution needs to be adhered too.

Season changed and we make new plans. Time moves on big issues immigration, poverty, lack of meaningful employment, all have to be faced another day as we do LIFE in the moment known as today.

I paused watched the changes, miss you Matthew David in so many ways. Nobody's promised tomorrow. Me telling you when l get there.

Love wont always be present....

Live as you best can anyway today had frustration. Lack of money, plus no one called..was alone. Felt alone it rained...it rained on me. Wanted rain to  come down and wash this dirty town. 

Live as you best can on days like these. Oh gotta ask... didn't anyone tell you there'd be days like these.?

MAY NOT BE WHAT ARE LOOKING FOR IN RELATION TO SPIRITUAL..BUT WELL

In total, City made 12 signings with as many as 19 departures across a hectic summer period which began with the club being slapped with a flurry of restrictions.

Despite being unable to pay a transfer or loan fee, the Tigers were still able to bring in experienced Championship players McBurnie , Lundstram, while exciting youngsters Gyabi plus Ndala joined former terrace favourite Gelhardt in returning to the MKM Stadium.

Here bit more about spiritual following of the game of football.

Oliver Robert McBurnie is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL Championship club Hull City. After playing youth football for Leeds United, McBurnie began his career with Bradford....

...Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer believed Alexander Isak's behaviour in forcing a move to Liverpool was "a really bad look for football."As indeed is huge wages demanded by pundits plus political statements they feel entitled to promote. So perhaps goes with football territory.

Isak effectively went on strike in order to push through his British record (According to few some news journalist we'll paid pundits) £125 million ($170m) transfer to the Anfield club on Monday, refusing to play for the Magpies at the start of the Premier League season. (Not uncommon behaviour).

Its something that affects the internal well being of some people, indeed being really honest it affects head space, moods, family peace, it impacts occasionally for a few how they then manage relationship's plus own well being. so comfortable assessing emotional along with spiritual effect.

Actually giving nod to something read long time ago where the beautiful game is likened to gathering among the faithful followers of Jesus. So perhaps get a pass here but truth, humours, this stuff at times and hopefully this blog puts a smile on face of the creators rep as he examines the contents.
