l'm wrestling in these area, that's the Faith wish to share

•  The story of the tower of Babel is funny story which it is just that bit what can it say to us about these times. Well several points.
• Odd type of uniformity let's build something so high we can directly access God.
• WHY
• What's so wrong about humanity working together to solve a solution ?
• How come God gets annoyed he walking among us in the story so he seeing things that must disturb God.

I tend to lean towards a faith that doesn't say ' l've got the answers but l'm wrestling in these areas.' Bible stories that appear harsh only make me seek more understanding. Got a older friend whose hunger for truth seeks to question...asking why is this not manifesting itself presently ?

So we engage look deeper, find subject to be worthy of that investment of time, energy, effort. Good meeting with others who can be struggling. Grasping, holding onto old and new teachings, learning and understanding. Or not. That is faith. That's should be how we sojourner.

Cultural malign began.

This is Saturday in UK and makes me happy Hull city win move up the Championship table.

So very much happening which absorbed rest of my time Church fete happened cute essential gathering, events meant numbers are down. Switched on the local Christmas lights. Daily visit, wonderfully enjoyed to the gym. Travel through awful winter weather roads starting to flood. High winds are blowing last leaves off the trees .Complex arrangements as the minor roads are flooded . Anger on supermarket floors mixture of many people hoarding, buying unwelcome not requested presents, you can see already the seasons of goodwill is not reflected in encounters.

Doesn't feel like season of good will.

I get fearful apprehensive and doubt

 So going on a journey set the stages 

Paid the money

Got my tickets

Know the route

Planned stops

Weighed my allowance

Done all this before 

But l get worried 

Unsure ...what of this goes wrong...or that happens 

If A point gets interrupted..If B point is late.

If technical passes don't materialize then what ?

Yes it's normal to be like this 

That's LIFE....simply the springs, flow, the journey.

I am experienced Only way we grow develop and process LIFE is by understanding normal simple everyday stuff. And overcoming doubts. Got to rely on others, part they play  Adapt faith so it's in others capabilities.Everyday stuff ,feelings, response to LIFE 

Society...Community...Individual.

If there is to be peace in the world,
there must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
there must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
there must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
there must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
there must be peace in the heart.

It is said that the Tao Teh King is the work of the great Chinese sage Lao Tzu. Disgusted with the degeneration of Chinese society, he decided to leave and vanish forever, which he did.

So often pointed us to how we develop as individuals then where we gather and create community further that journey can impact the society we inhabit, It appears not so far away from the truth.

You can bounce back....

Among the things you have control about is the way you bounce back. How your recover begins and with what support you allow to assist you.

You can control how fit healthy in body and normalisation of your mind. Those things you can control you remain able to deliver. These are two things you can control. Your diet you can control could determine how leaner you are. The fitness you develop is about how you control your strength. Among other things reading, discussing, gathering all allow you to control how emotional literacy plus resilience is developed.

These are things you can control. So do that. No one else is responsible. Start by making your bed. I got up in the chilly wind that bites and l swam. Went later to the gym. Collect bags books and went about the day travelling to major Yorkshire City , later came back.

I planned my day. Passed those with headphones that cut out the world. Heard about man whose not worked in 20 years complaining about DWP calling him into office with his bank accounts. Saw parents and son deep into glaring at screen on their phone while bus travelled in to city. Never spoke. Don't work. Pastorally (previously) offered support to this lad. But he not in control.

They are controlled by own choices to not work. To not spend time locked onto social media and games on phone. They Play at LIFE but do thyme have control.

Activist given two years in prison for throwing soup on a $90 million Van Gogh painting?

 Activist given two years in prison for throwing soup on a $90 million Van Gogh painting?
VAN GOGHS artwork is protected by a sheet of bulletproof glass, which prevented any damage to the painting. The National Gallery confirmed the painting was quickly cleaned and redisplayed, Some are stating the sentence is too hard while the powder faced mute blank expression of the activists look blankly into the spheres . Truth is l feel neither of us discussing are aware. After spending lot of LIFE exploring the character traits of Vincent discovered he had strong commitment how he used money from his art work always being prolific and generous. Destroying the image is wicked, evil, PLUS self centered attributes he nor his client base could afford.

Just Stop Oil activists have been jailed for throwing soup over Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers painting after they came close to "destroying" the masterpiece.

Both were previously convicted of criminal damage after the contents of two tins of tomato soup were poured on to the priceless 1888 piece at the National Gallery in central London.

They then glued their hands to the wall beneath it.

Cannot understand why would anyone vandalizes an object of art. That statement stands alone , there is only one and it's a masterpiece Now they face consequences. That's a crime where there's no turning back from but why not discover something of the value of the Artists LIFE. The protestors "clearly think your beliefs give you the right to commit crimes when you feel like it. You do not." were told by the Judge for once WOKE community get to hear others views.

We need to become Kingdom people in real sense of the word....Again.

Well found out that the BBC  was lying. Mean we know they lie. That they got found out so obviously.
News media be it Television, Radio or iPlayer podcasts. WOKE Agenda proven to be shallow painful and lacking ability to present truth. Common factor is ability to misrepresent, so restlessness emptiness has been promoted and accepted.
Now it's been found out many joining those who found out long time ago about lies being presented 
Question we need to be asking is whose going to fill the void.The large hole ? Especially when not gathering like we used too nor are we coming together in any real sense. Major issues get brushed aside so half young are wearing noise excluders not wanting to hear about world around them. Hence not conversing or engaging as fear made them slick away. The informal education established in Community and youth work now no longer evident. Another example of cost cutting also place many on the scrap heap.
We have to find out how to bring many outcast into a place where Kingdom values are experienced.

Give me one Zelenskyy for every 20 Trumps.

 “Ukraine may now face a very difficult choice: the risk of losing its dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner. It's either the difficult 28 clauses, or the heaviest winter – the most difficult one – and the risks that follow. A life without freedom, dignity, and justice, and being forced to trust the one who has already attacked us twice.

We did not sell out Ukraine on February 24, and we will not sell it out now. I know that the people are with me. 

-Zelenskyy

So while your settling down to normal Saturday happenings .Evil along with Satanic man of Peace are trumping about an agreement. Which conclude  without forces of justice, righteousness, grace being present at the Table of discussion.

While some treat Zelenskyy as a difficult Leader. Give me one Zelenskyy for every 20 Trumps. Trump and evil vile wicked Putin laugh at the likes of Ukraine people behind their backs, talk about what they should do. But when confronted with such bravery further correct manner displayed. They hovel in corners of white house trying to share openly the rewards of War  The spoils of people's country resources mineral wealth land and commercial interests.

Don't buy into Trumps peace plan. But  am thousands of miles away a pauper on the game they play. Like you  suggest we have no voice. We don't fit into the world they imagine. 

But we have something better then all they could offer. We have clear sense of justice w would offer grace and forgiveness to enemies.

We got something better sense of Gods righteousness. Let's embrace those values. For one day and it may be soon.

Our bravery may well be tested.

Glad someone's enjoying this weather...

For the record...the windscreen was iced up, roads covered in icy snow. Couldn't get warm nor get frost from the car internally felt freezing.
Hands could not get warm my whole body felt miserable. Not good nor pleasant and the phase it ..'looks good on Christmas cards'.  came to mind. Bit early for this issue chilly miserable, further actually less socially active. Health not brilliant. `Hey Ho` its UK snow.

BROKEN A PROGRAMME OF SUCH EXCELLANCE.

A modern Catholic priest leads an urban parish in Northern England,
Which from my own observance looks very much like Liverpool.
The priest well crafted character, by fine acting of Sean Bean, helps support encourages his congregation. Also trying  balance, wrestle with faith , poverty, daily struggles along with sometimes disturbing everyday issues that visit.  Character further dealing with his own imperfections. such a necessary watch. Completely recommend this Series. While asking why are we not witnessing this quality of writing displayed for viewing more often.
Where  are the platform discussing these programmes while dialoguing the concern's, Our learning and the wrestling we may also be exploring.                                                                       Absent.

Broken was a gutsy series. It dramatized big themes—conscience, guilt, shame—and, with powerful writing and performances, told big stories about the Church, poverty and abuse. It's made for bitter viewing at times but even at its toughest, there's been a lit candle glowing determinedly at its centre.

This is an excellent presentation of  normal inner city faith community, Which this author keeps signposting the faith communities traverse among towards.

Why people still reluctant to focus on tabloid gospel as form of non linear communication astounds myself. These modern parables in style of Jesus we should embrace. Simply there just not enough of this calibre of TV series being made, faithfully written well scripted, issues plus concerns many would be wrestling with. 

light a candle ...reflect...enjoy.

Moving reflection.

Move like grey skies
You are the rite of movement
Its reasoning made lucid and cool
I know it's no improvement
When you move, I move
You're less Polunin leaping
Or Fred Astaire in sequins
Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleeping

And when you move, I'm moved
Move like a bird of paradise
Move like an odd sight come out at night
Move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, 
So move me, 

Like you've nothin' left to lose
And nothin' to prove
Move me,
So move me, 
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me
Like you've nothin' left to prove
And nothin' to lose
Move me,

Not supported modern prophetic voices.

Part of the mental health issues many are facing are to do with movement towards rejection of 'Judo Christian' values. We already understood the WOKE agenda which has done its damage. Now found to be struggling, can't fight back from the rejection it experiencing.

But the faith community been part of the issue having embraced the WOKE Agenda allowing Quran to be read on Christian Church. Married and promoted LGBT Agenda. Allowed trans men to claim to be Women which biology not women in Law or in Life.

Accepted Hamas lies about conflict in middle East. Denied justice to be sought for vulnerable girls.
Moved away from Biblical teachings become more committed to unbelief and presented modern teachings.

Had nothing to say about society being so unjust. Lost Prophetic voice around issues communities face. So young got no learning or feel about our teachings.

Not just Bible but commentary and vast varied other writings. Not pointed to rich heritage of the likes of Wilberforce, Elizabeth Fry, Wesley's, Modern voices, N.T. Wright, Phyllis Tinkle, Rachel Held Evens.

Let's not forget very disturbing but essential writing of Katie Piper..."Things get better"...Such a wealth. 

Contain guidance and examples of to live LIFE well.

We got a lot to present, add modern tabloid gospel music, films, commentaries, resulting in creative narrative many youths don't get access to. We've sanction approved wrong behaviour. When others needed clarity and clear teachings. Actions against macro economics. Chance to offer compassion plus grace. Ignored the vulnerable.

Not repeat not, supported modern prophetic voices. Lack of speaking against principality and powers.

It's Christians who are called to be the light that ever goes out.

Perhaps young are most full of anxiety …

Because we underinvested in the services we deliver to them. As professional in the field of Pastoral care to Young people. Clarify here 11- 19 but extend to 21. Do not feel we have given them fare resources. Issue that's got historical under investment from the mid 70's.

Older folk been deprived in lot

Of ways that are similar.

But let's stick with the youth. They have got long journeys ahead for them. We need to focus on our understanding about how they have been affected by three very major issues in the last decade. Almost unapparelled in my own experience. 

First was Austerity.

Second Brexit uncomfortable for all.

COVID pandemic. Stuff issues and considerable distressing experiences 

What a phelafroa of disturbances. Large impacts.

Individuals are fearful not wrestled with everything that's still happening. How are we changed by these 

Lack of economic growth and poverty has increased. Less for young people to have in Pockets. Many parents all households have to cope with less.

Communities are more isolated and divided.

Society on macro scale is damaged no longer recognisable to what existed a decade ago .

Political parties are not addressing the issues they face.

How can we engage with them?
How do we give young people a good listening too?.
What tables are they excluded from.? 
how did that come about? 

Questions being posed that carry weight To be young today can be a nightmare. It's so true. 
Let's have some dialogue. 
Lets have some compassion, lets engage and walk them onto a brighter different future.

....We are.... So be thrilled!.

We all are in this LIFE sometimes we just want to be someone, someplace, somewhere else. But must realise we are here and ...'we are'.

To often we try to be elsewhere and always better at this or that. But we're not just ...' We are'...Part of our being strong in our minds is to be thrilled with ...Who we are...That doesn't mean we stop being inspired or enthusiastic about having some kind of vision about who we could be. Attempting to be what others especially social media claim we could've. Often at a cost not just economic, but emotional and spiritual cost.

Part of our mind being happy and content. Is excepting...We are ..So strive to accept your doing real well, where you are with who you are in the place you are.

The capable person doing what you're doing 

In the place at this moment. Is ...who we are.

Mindfulness values.

 Today there was an incident where car crashed into our holiday home then sped off. The trail of damage including parts of the vehicle that hit our Caravan tell a story. But little investigation and narrative is now one of Alcohol misuse £80000 worth of damage plus further criminal prosecution.

Little mild bump. Unfortunate and uncomfortable where explanation of wet circumstances damp condition . No longer the narrative. LIFE can turn. Linda my friend was at home Wednesday when loud noises and earth shaking in Cyprus. She surviving terrifying earthquake seismic force of 5:3.

John another friend in another country slips needs medical help and health is threatened. LIFE .

Riding the sand dunes in 1935 was a DH Lawrence.

Hits a tree on his Motorbike. LIFE ends you don't know what's going to blind side you at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Nor what could happen at 10 in the morning on any given Tuesday . Be prepared. Be your own watch guide. If it's a struggle adopt value of your own resilience.

He is....the I am ....

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.”

Mindlessnests...no it's not spelling mistake.

So block of flats where l live, plus the 2 blocks next door there are is nobody except myself in employment. I am retired there are 6 younger. Some of the older residents not worked in whole time they have lived there . Men l know in their 60's got through life never working substantial. Drink misuse, Alcohol misuse. Know five different young people not working due'mental health issues'.

All got Netflix's, very decent income streams thanks to personal independent payouts. Equates to extra £330 to £800 plus a month.

The mind occupied by less. 
Less on self development
Less on community
Less on involvement with others.

Minds not engaging  with anything that represents discussion..conversations or dialogue. That's leading them to crippling emotional literacy. Yet answer to better LIFE is clear to them as it is to myself. Less time on self. More time on self discovery of world vision. TV set is only focus, social media informs so the minds are doing less.

With teared stained face.....

 With sadness that made me just stare and walk. Remember you my son. In one of our places we sojourned too...oh so very often the lake, where moor-hens, swans, black eyed grebe, mallard ducks gathered also.

I think of you. But don't think about tomorrow. Made efforts to be a different father then one never experienced. Reflected again to our journey there two years ago the walks that sunny Sunday afternoon of most glorious warm Autumn week on the coast. Cuppa we shared, the cig you smoked looking across rippled lake. Talking smile heading back for lovely meal followed by pint as we watched poor group karaoke through a boring show. Past the time simply. 

Never thought stand here with you gone. Old man looking to still process events deeply....too deeply.

The crows nest sits high among the branches, like it found one time a place to hide. Now exposed to passing of a moment. Exposed in force 3 wind that's attracting attention as it grows faster.

Don't know much but know Loves the best way

As autumn arrived wet been the case for while now. Winter perhaps fold into present chilly cold ...but noticed more. Is it age. Noticed much more we gather less. Fewer people in shops. Guided response to finical crisis. Efforts put into each purchase. Unsure what will be a solution.

Consigned love become aware not offering hope maybe falling into gossiping the bad news. So try and seek hope for us share it more frequently and louder.

Don't know much but know Loves the best way.

We glorify the past when the futures Dead ahead. Remembrance day 2025.

We glorify the past when the futures Dead ahead.
Remembrance day 2025.

Here a sample of greed fueling Food inflation.

Here a sample of greed fueling Food inflation in Yorkshire trust me having confessed to my Lovely Lady friend l recently Boiled the Beetroot. Your better of getting them from Tesco for £1 a jar.

Point out that not too be confused with 'Beating the Bishop', which my Lovely lady friend suggested has Sexual connections. Me being Church gent...
"Got no idea either ".

What witnessed is high price.
Poor quality produce.
Exploitation by shop keepers.

At 80p for individual vegetable like common potatoes. We are seeing return to level of poverty that more difficult further down the food chain you are. Sort of pun there actually not intended.
Lower on food chain one finds themselves much harder to eat healthy and sensible.

sorry this may be upsetting.

We don't need the next tweet.
Nor should we bother with our likes on Facebook .

'What's apps' snaps are OK for staying in touch those far away. But no one …sorry this may be upsetting...no one needs to know your current status. The love of the present moment....fashion or political views

Look at an image in an Art gallery. Let the stillness of the images stay as you observe in silence. Breathe carefully enjoy the nothingness. Life waits. Later you can join the speed of everydayness.

Set down all the plans. Ignore durations of time. Preserve something of ordinary time. Join people society and community in little while. Do this often.

VITAL.

LIFE can become a challenge because of  complete range of different reasons. 

Spiritual `well being `has been a topic of interest most of my LIFE its not, but can be about religion. For myself linked it also with emotional literacy, Agenda that's as much about connecting with meaning, purpose, trying to find sense of something bigger than ourselves. Maybe something that transcends you. Could easily be faith-based, but it could also be found in nature, Gods cathedral. When we get creative looking at Art or being involved in Drama. Community gatherings stuff that's about human connection. Perhaps for emotional literacy when form or belong to those with or a set of values. As we are in period approaching Amnesty remembrance Sunday, the value platform of discipline, obedience, service, are accepted patterns. In the gatherings of forces incudes Army. Air services. Navy where same values are better understood along with being accepted.

In such gatherings we can share about ourselves and develop the beginning of resilience. Much needed in struggling periods we all experience. Encountering discussions, friendships, just listening can gain understanding of others then we relies they have been where you are in the present. They got through this. Vital.

How can we share a message when far few not engaging in. ?

 As we developed as people In the last decade we been hit by tragic triple whammy. 
Had many collective years political of economic mismanagement. Also politicians misled many industry is lacking production no growth in the economy.
Advent of mass immigration, along with failed experiments in diversity produced complex mistrusting society.

COVID the illness and effects made us more singular. Know youths some older people know personally many. Who do not go out very often some enforced onto their mindset `a need to isolate`. Growth in Asperger's and main stream experimental autism. `Mute` variants and only speaks` American western` are two personally highly suspicious of. 

Into this environment asking! "What has God got to say" ?

What can followers of Jesus demonstrate that is different...Better?

How can we share a message when far few not engaging in. ? 

There's this disorder as we shared when chatting today with group of concerned observers. We reasoned that it was best, essential, that Adults who not experienced working environment where not constituent in our society. Prime examples of people not wanting to develop potentially. Individuals suffering however dramatically they are OK with a Netflix box set, food delivery, contact primarily  by social media .That's the rub here, you can survive perhaps even in healthy way, honestly for now in this culture. No real ramifications elements of community, faith, and communications, LIFE just passing many by. (LIFE has an order) no need to examine or look for explanation as this modern way of being is enough.

Could argue it's just enough for now. But some a far few `not engaging` with the many. It's too simple a story to say they will need God and spirituality,
 `because at present they don't.`

Journeying

On this blog or is it in this blog.
we don't care but...here l would try and uniform our osmosis;- So here's little on Journeying. What follows here is a quote, a guy talking about football nothing unique its just a game men chasing and kicking a ball about for 90 minutes. Fun but nothing special.

“And always with the ambition, in those slightly tougher moments, to be able to show that character. That know-how, staying calm, and, above all, trying to take it game by game. Day by day, improving our feelings. It’s an environment where, for various reasons, we’ve felt comfortable.”

Former Hull city manager Rubin Selles.

Were all on this journey and mostly each day one supposes is about having a go. It frees me up knowing that all the journey is one l share with others.

Nature still a place where even from those Friday evenings on camp, back in my teenage years, looking up at a star filled sky hearing another talk about its greatness its vastness...still  find the stars and promises exciting.

Music still gathers me into its cosmic universal moments and l rediscover old songs. Frequently explore new artist always loving the lyrics. The sound, The medium used to play these sounds.

There are many dimensions to this journey...Relationships old valued. Family , some departed young children replaced them will replace me and you. They are blessing.

Friends we have made in our sojourners, some from child hood the Church and the Boxing game come foremost to my mind. Acquittance's from young people worked among. New friends from my visits to Malta soon to be renewed.

All part of the journey. Part of bigger plan making it easier.

My mind, how l seek Shalom, presence of God in my interwoven being.

The ability too not allow darkness into my place.

Process all these things sometimes l hermitage to Gods cathedral to harmonise my being. This week time will be spent Biblical studying the word reflecting and conversing with others listening actively.

Through out our journeys we process much without conscious effort.

Other times our journey requires deeper thinking about all the mind souls spirit and emotions that impact our beings. 

“And then there are those moments when something rises up within you. An itch, an ache, an idea, a restlessness, a longing for more...… You can ignore it, deny it, pretend like it isn’t there. But to do that is to let something within you die" 

Rob bell. Another theologian type guy!

Saturday in November.

Health and could weather been key factor last few days...Saturday in UK 

Thank you for all comments. This blog just a thought provoking ramble. Thank you for all communications. Apparently. 

`Pets on a train`, is a wholesome film. More soon
