how long

how long

so how long will you love some one?
how many times will you forgive?
how much time will the battle against poverty exist?
when will Gods love 4 us reach an end?

Blessed ...Blessed.

One of my first delights is too find somewhere to have a cuppa
and a chat with any youths on the residential.
its Joy that the young people like
in simple ways.
it all about the development of the relationship.
l never, never, never tire,
of this experience.

Perhaps our safest and earliest memories of childhood
is a ride on a donkey.
As we get older and life gets a different pace, we forget such joys!
Was it our first big adventure with mum or dad holding us
safely on the donkey?
Sometimes we throw out the sandbox,
includes the simple acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

No longer the weather for barbeque's
but what fun this summer has been
drives out every week.
Several residential, included, Greenbelt
Robin Hoods bay.
Climbing mountains.
Blessed. . . .blessed. . . . blessed

thursday feeling like kinda monday day

Parking fines
lack of work
No new ideas
Lacking fellowship
Cold
Isolated
Away from loved ones
Some travel around options not opening up
Frustrated
Lacking good group experiences

But this is life on a Thursday feeling like Monday kind of day

The origin of the term "Malta" is uncertain, and the modern-day variation derives from the Maltese language. The most common etymology derives from the Greek word μέλι (meli), 'honey'. The Greeks called the island Μελίτη (Melite) meaning "honey-sweet," possibly due to Malta's unique production of honey; an endemic species of bee lives on the island, giving it the popular nickname the "land of honey". The Romans went on to call the island Melita, the romanization of the Greek Μελίτη Another etymology is the Phoenician word Maleth, the Phoenician name for the islands, meaning "a haven" in reference to Malta's many bays and coves.

Alex Ferguson Manager of Manchester utd
hinted at several things when discussing Wayne Rooney.
Petulance, greed, only hearing there side of issue,
It like that sometimes in the youthie
all we ask for is a bit of

Respect

But even that asking a lot.
Growing up in a caring Church youth setting,
l was respected and learn respect.
It was natural to talk, share, but we were also drilled,
and choices to lead were given.

respect the club the only thing l said to the lad was respect this club

COULERS OF NIGHT

working on loads of paperwork
but l am going thru a mental bloke
however l persist
at end of each day
if time permits in the morning also

a walk talk share cry with God

this is my life today

ACTS

ADORATION
CONFESSION
THANKSGIVING
SUPPLICATION

thistle

Is this not a thing BEAUTY of unexpected flower?
taken for granted, beautiful flower.
how often pass such a  flower
this was on my daily walk with God.
listen and see!
So l did and l am. . . . (trying too)
listen more to God.





A habit l am living lifetime to perform!

Bridge to far

A bridge between communities,
between the old and the young,
To be a bridge in such a way
means sometimes, people are going to walk over you!
it can be painful.
Often in youth work, we boast that we are there to serve
To be a bridge.
well guess what
it costs,
not in a angry, kinda, painful way.
But more a matter, statement of fact kinda way
it costs.

the web of ?

Hope became reality for the Chilean miners,
Hope existed once has Hull city rose up to the dizzy heights of the premier league.
Hope is disappearing for the Liverpool fans,
Hope way back when l was a child that poverty would disappear.

Hope..........

Parklife in Northern locality

There a fantastic park at south shields.
We have been there for the last 3 weeks, sandcastles, walks, chips.
Strategy for happy teenagers
Sometimes the young people share great depths with the workers.
Here Chris in picture with the girls,
The young people often remind you of some disclosure you gave them.
Music you have bought, or like size of your family.
Or issue around not being able to afford something


When time to reflect comes into the situation.
May ponder how fortunate we are with the trust young people place in us workers.
Those who take time to get to know them.
Relationships formed,personal sharing are the foundations of what l do.

Profile of me as professional youth worker involves relationship, sharing, and asking questions?

While trying to share the 'Lords kingdom principles'.

LOW TIDE

Sea is very calm and tides low at present,
we had a very normal weather issue last week.
The sea rolled in a mist which hung over our area for three days.
An envelope, my description, appears to give some a chance to do nothing
the view in front of your face is limited visibility,
the sound is muffed (is that a word)
this is felt worse because we are so rural and remote.

Hull city where l was born

Josh, Nicky, bobby, and Chris,marvell at the sound plus image of the laughing policeman.
This was a song from the radio of my childhood, often played by Ed Stewpot on children's favorites, reenacted at museum in Hull.
Even my first car is now a museum piece.
This was at the Humber bridge with all the youth group,
my time with this group actually come to end,we are working hard to ensure smooth hand over between the workers coming in,while l exit!
also collected 4 other youngstars who are not in this picture.
lots of chatting! laughter! frolics.
very Minor disclosures,
lots of forming has already taken place within this group.
They are not one group. . . but around 3 groups 
One of the young men in this picture is starting to drift.... and l have chatted about the need to stay attached.... not performing with another group anywhere.

What groups do you fit into?
what was your youthgroup like when you where 15?
Can l ask!

we are heading to Hull tomorrow for the Fair. Europe's largest.
The fog,sea mist has covered all the land today locally
 that is so often rule at the coast. Really not sure how tomorrows journey will be . . .not just the weather



Children and Young peoples behaviour has not been good, the last few days
not able to put my finger on the reason.
Although experience teals me that occasionally this is the way of youthwork

Some aggression and rudeness plus bullying is at the surface
its a tough call at present.

hull risen

Hull rose from the basement division to the Championship within four years and moved out of their dilapidated Boothferry Park ground to the state-of-the-art
KC Stadium in 2002.

Hull city football success on the field paved the way for the 2007 ,and a man l do not like the sound off along with a buffoon called Brown, called Bartlett become owner and install Paul Duffen as chairman.




Within a year, Hull had been promoted to the top flight for the first time in their 104-year history. a great goal bt dean windass my brother chris was at wembly but told me he could not watch the last few minutes, l travelled to middlesboro ,newcastle and sunderland as well as watching them against spurs while in the premier league

however last season,(2009) the tigers were relegated amid debts that had spiralled to around £30m courtesy of a wage bill that peaked just short of £40m.

Time short supply today.

last 2 weeks not been able to sit down and compose words
l have Bean diagnosed as having a slight heartbeat problem
it too slow
l get a bit tired a few times a day
the remedy
not sure yet

Romano music is very vibrant, fast and lots of skills, in using wind instruments along with fiddles
this Spanish mix is on my place list.
One Needs to persuasive, if your going to appreciate.
Like human nature look hard, and digest, reflect and partake.
Works with music,
can these directions apply to relationships?

Hull fair this week.
Very mixed week on the youth scene

clear and focused

love the way this sign lays it all out for people like me
there a sign posting about the sudden deep sand banks
and another about No going off into the north
clear and focused warnings
unique to this spot
but there is a serious warning in not following the advice presented.

harbour lights

Went for a walk around 20.30 last evening,
watched a boat sail out of the harbour,
cold,
dark,
chilly and windy,
waters rough,
it took a while to leave the harbour walls and pier.



Me, am preparing for a move soon or very early next year.
Bit anxious
don`t like all the moving around comes with this position,
however it can be exciting make new contacts.
Love, Love,  Love when old friend visit, miss my immediate family and being established in one setting,  that kind of gone for myself.

But there are rewards from moving around.
Know lots of areas of this country fairly well
had a real exciting ministry.
Seen some great God happenings,
witnessed Church working, breathing, wrestling.

agree

Research by uSwitch has revealed that high living costs, below average government spending on health and education, lack of holidays and late retirement have contributed to a bleak picture for Brits.
UK worst place to live in Europe
Workers swarm Europe's streets in anti-cuts protests
To make matters worse, the UK no longer enjoys the highest net household income in the continent.

can not say l disagree

luck

don`t believe in luck
don't believe in omens
don't believe in in the devil
but l do believe in love

what a drive,but worse was coming back.
the road back was blocked by a land fall
to do with the recent rain.
Hence we were diverted into a strange place
ended up near Skipton
should l have gone via Kendell
still not sure



the scenery along the route is beautiful
but stress's l imagine coming from another who was time watching made it difficult to enjoy
anything but this person schedule



Everyone took in the beautiful scenery
gasp at the size of the mountains
l imagine it will take you lifetime to get to know them all
the Air felt purer
really enjoyed a cuppa
in the local cafe
which is walker friendly
food costly like the area
not far from the lakes either
you need to be well prepared for this
environment and climate

Is everybody fine?

Is Everybody fine. The youth group are!
 Yes they are.

At the heart of "Everybody's Fine" is the theme of family and physical and emotional distances traveled to bring the members back together
is everybody fine?
So Frank, recently widowed and on heart medication, decides to ignore his doctor's advice and head out on a cross-country road trip to visit his offspring. He travels first to New York where there's no sign of his troubled artist son, David (Austin Lysy). He surprises careers minded Amy (Kate Beckinsale) in Chicago, slacker musician Robert (Sam Rockwell) in Colorado and free-spirit Rosie (Drew Barrymore) in Vegas.
is everybody fine
"Mom used to say,
‘Make your dad proud. He works hard for us,'"
Rockwell's Robert tells Frank.
"Well, I know you're not proud."
Frank dismisses the candor, unequipped to deal with it since his wife always handled the family's emotional issues. The strength of "Everybody's Fine" is watching De Niro slowly transform Frank into a father willing to listen and accept his children for who they are and not who he wanted them to be
So really is everybody fine?

ITS NOT WAR

To feel forgiveness, you gotta forgive
Do you see the stars or the darkness begin?
You fight your war, I fought for my life
You pay your dues and I'll pay mine

It's not war, just the end of love
Just like before but it's never enough

conkers

by now l should know better

l had a ruff 24 hours,
emotions have been really upside down.
should be more careful
at my age l expect to be able to weather a few storms
but l am surprised by how disturbed l got.
even lost some sleep walking the cliff face at 6.30 in the morning
(don't worry not needing the Samaritans).
if l was honestly sharing my truest feelings then it feels like l have come out of the square ring, losing by points.
that a feeling l know from my past
the fighter sits alone in the dressing room
the shouts nearby. . . .
let him know everyone`s getting on with what`s going on elsewhere!
He is sat trapped with his thoughts.

She asks me how the cat's been. I say, "Moses he's just fine
but he used to think about you all the time.
We finally took your pictures down off the wall.
Oh, Jessie, how do you always seem to know just when to call?"
She says, "Get your stuff together. Bring mose and drive real fast."
And I listen to her promise, "I swear to God this time it's gonna last."

Jessie paint your pictures

'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.

I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm white sand.
And who knows, maybe this time things'll turn out just the way you planned.

oh Jessie how do you know just when to call

is it true Anita Skorgan

Anita Skorgan Is it True
I thought I caught a glimpse of you
I thought I saw your face
as the Sunday morning due
melted every trace

Did you walk the earth in vain
conquering the dead
or did life make you forget
the crown upon your head

Is it true what they say
Are you coming back someday
Is it true what they say
About you

If it's true will you be
A guiding light to me
and the few that still believe

WENT CLIMBING

"The atmosphere the fans create at the KC Stadium is a real buzz and our home form is very good, so hopefully we can continue that."

Looking to climb the Championship ladder



Although City's woes on the road have been much documented, the Tigers have quietly made an impressive start to life in the Championship at home.

Three games have brought two wins and seven points, with City keeping clean sheets on each occasion.

Oh, girl, don't you remember?
It was not so long ago
We were makin' plans for two
Just me and you
Now you tell me that you've found somebody
Someone who loves you better
No one could ever love you
The way I do

from the eagles
long road out of edan






I'll do anything
Yes, I would
To save what we have
To keep you by my side
I'll love you 'til death do us part



But what do I do
What do I do
When I'm still missing you?
What do I do
What do I do with my heart?

FORGET ALL THAT HOW DO I GET DOWN FROM HERE

NEW HAIRCUT

only had my haircut a few weeks ago took 3 inches off
staged it and my glasses are not that old

everybodys not fine

Talk
Shout
Speak

emotional lteracy is a big issue
in current practice
often people don`t talk
don`t share
don`t listen
don`t reflect
life happens to us and at such a pace
so we listen less
share less
talk to fewer perons
stop reflecting

then we stop living as we die within.

hull city lose again and again

SEYI Olofinjana says he "feels sorry" for Hull City boss Nigel Pearson because he's had to let his best players leave.

City have off-loaded a host of big names since suffering relegation from the Premier League in May in a bid to cut their annual £39m wage bill to somewhere nearer to £15m.

That has seen the likes of Geovanni, Bernard Mendy, Daniel Cousin, Boaz Myhill and a host of other household names head for pastures new

thin line between heaven and hull gets wider and wider.

12 50 on the 10 day sept MMX

l am at the leek show examing all the flowers and veg
more later

its 9 11 today
Prayers with those hurting
STILL
HURTING

biggest issue for me today new tryes on my car

Dear God
forgive me that l sometimes lack perspective

Car trouble

today not a good day and all the problems started yesterday
coming back from a walk around the top of the Dene
l discovered 3 tyres down
36 hours later still trying to fix them
Ce la vie
crisis what bloody crisis

need to keep this in perspective

little things impact myself and struggle to focus on wide picture
or the issue under my nose

his story my story

childhood in the sixties

During childhood in hull l spent lot of time sailing out on
the wingfield castle,the ferry above.
chatting to girls, docking at New Holland across the water
returning to the pier , boarding again,
before sailing for Hull.
walking home and still having change from £2.00



a proper rust bucket docked in our local harbour
another ship awaiting scraping.
Time waits for no one.
Who can control the seasons?
.

God doe`s


This day of the present becomes our history,
his or her story
part of mystory always includes something of the seas and clifftop walks

time and tide

where do l belong?

in a place where the tide comes in and sweeps the beach
so later with loved one
hand in hand
like lovers are supposed too
we can walk along the sand looking out
at the moon reflected along the waves

only thing missing for me at the moment
?

against the wind

love this song been listening to a great deal recently

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janie was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong, we were running
Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind

Well those drifters' days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in
What to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still running
Against the wind
Well I'm older now and I'm still running
Against the wind...
