insignificant

just an insignificant day starts
walking the local track and field
life is happening
blessings are aviable
sometimes it is just the insignificant stuff
everyday life


only had small camera in hand waited
got this shot it insignificant small
full of couler and hope
destiny achievement in an
insignificant day

As created









Sometimes it Snows in April.
had cold day out 'n' about yesterday doing what do best, looking into music and what's available
Despite the cold, the wind, the rain, the snow, chill factor.
Had a day in Redcar looking around
also had great curry in ethnic shop £5 not bad at all.
We need to do nothing of insignificance that what makes us Human,
Don`t always need a role to prove
this is me,
this is who l am,
this is how God created me,
not for everyday should we chill
listen, and but Music.
but sometimes,
just sometimes,
we can, should ,do stuff that appears to have nothing to do with a role.

you`ll never walk alone... . .my understanding of those powerful words

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown


Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk
You'll never walk
You'll never walk alone


 You´ll Never Walk Alone 


those lyrics have again become loud and sung proudly by the Hillsboro support group
in their fight get justice for the 96 fans of Liverpool football club who lost their life at the stadium during a footie match 27 years ago
the lyrics deserve us taking a moment to observe the meaning
they are very spiritual
but come from a little known musical

words talks about what hope awaits as you journey through trails of life
so in many ways its fitting for this group
BUT is it also fitting for us as individual facing challenges
life is hard
M Scott Peck, the author of the `road less travelled` 
begins his support book,a book common to Counsellors,community workers,youth and 
similar work where the person centred and group dynamics are important

life is hard

there will be storms,it not always easy to hold your head up high

how difficult must it have been for the `family of those unlawfully killed` to carry on 
27 years for justice
read that again 27 years for justice
the wind
the rain
tossed
blown
all tough conditions as you walk on
life and its journey can appear to bring storms,uncomfortable conditions
rain
there are times when it may appear there is nothing but rain,wet ,cold ,difficult conditions
Wind
moves you of course,stumble relationships go wrong
I have prayed for 16 years . .  since April 2004 
about an issue
unanswered prayer
rain....wind..storms of life
blown around lose your way head is down . . struggle onwards

somewhere deep within me lies this feeling
its like my Faith 
feels right 
I know it!
In my heart there is hope
hope in God  ... acceptance and desire to follow Jesus... belief
that Prayers get answered
better times return
storms end
its gets warmer
troubles disappear
life goes on
life does get easier

I get sense that l am not alone
that always been the case
God is with you and I
we never really walk alone...his purpose is to remain alongside us as we journey
to be a guide .  .  .companion
I don`t know your own situation in life at present 
but this l do know
you are not alone
you are not forgotten
God is on your side

Apr 27, 2016

this day

so cold chilly wintery
miserable
told due to my health
stay in rest
whose zooming who?
out'n'about
cups of tea
keeping it simple
more in depth tomorrow
health 
pain
much improved
thank God
stay warm
drink marmite
love love love 
keep it simple

Long wait for Hillsboro justice




What that knocking on the door 
Could it be justice calling
Bit late ...often are...
When you come
Actually ashame because plenty died awaiting your return
Suppose late justice like a draw at football
A late goal
Rerun of favourite TV programme
Fine
But long wait for justice
One wait
That should never take place

me and my heart we got problems









This is the best update can give you good folks, am on a course of treatment at present which leaves me bit tired, but hope it can all become more stable and settled in next few weeks, yesterday l was in mega pain while out locally 11.30  (Seaham) enjoying sun then got mega bad pain, took some non prescribed stuff along with normal stuff . Felt better till 19.00 in the evening slept 21 walk up took 3 more tablets fell back asleep, walk up. 

 Enlarged Heart

The most common causes of an enlarged heart are blockages in the heart's blood supply, (coronary artery disease).
 Have occluded right arteries and some high blood pressure. An enlarged heart can have many other causes, including. . .
only the following effect myself.
  • viral infection of the heart
  • Abnormal heart valve
  • Genetic and inherited conditions blocked occluded R.A.

In simple terms,` Enlarged Heart`.

 Because l have this condition `enlarged heart', the heart becomes unable to pump blood effectively, symptoms of congestive heart failure can develop:
  • Shortness of breath this l experience often... and no fixed pattern of behaviour but with exertion sleep times so lying flat creates more of a problem,hence sleep pattern affected.
  • Leg swelling this has been obvious had vein grafted from right leg.
  • Increased abdominal girth, . . so its not a`beer belly`after all.
  • Some weight gain, certain tablets also do this
  • Tiredness, fatigue, also due to blocked arteries.
The situation am in is that experience steadily worsening shortness of breath, feeling more tired ,left leg swells twice its normal size,
acute pains comes and disappears

Hang the vinyl junkies hang the vinyl junkies hang the DJ's as well

To day is record shop day


The smell even the careful way of bringing the object out of the sleeve
The social scene as we met
Chatted asked the guys behind the shop desk about this release or that oldie
Flicking thru the racks
Holding and reading the track listing
Have you got enough cash
Although came out to buy one record 
May get another
And some been reduced 
Also the ex jukebox stall at back of market Togo to buy a bargain
Vinyl
The joy of vinyl 7 inch 12 inch 
Even ten inch and one other
Couplers of plastic
Covers they came in
God l thank you for vinyl

Try doing any of that with a cursed download

Darkness in the ABC culture

“One in six Muslims say they would like to live more separately, a quarter would like to live under sharia law. It means that as a society we have a group of people who basically do not want to participate in the way that other people [do].
“What we also found is that there is a correspondence between this desire to live separately and sympathy for terrorism. People who want to live separately are about twice as likely to say that they have sympathy for terrorist acts. Anybody, including most people in the Muslim community, would find that extremely worrying.”


                                                         
                                   Well that's a view
This great social experiment called ABC anything but Christian is fine
I have no problem with this it's become the way 
Except we got ask ourselves why is the Light not shining
It's we the you and me who are called to be the light of the world
Christians followers of Jesus
Are we relevant 
Do we communicate on big important issues 
Or are we a building people who have exhibited little concern for our faith and the people around us
We got to ask tough questions
"IF WE ARE CALED TO BE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
WHY AREN'T WE SHINING"
Big issues out in the world
Huge
Huge
Huge
Have we got something Loving Godly faith filled to say about poverty injustice loveless ness and fear in our community if not then light not shining

Sat on the bog with one issue ..ran out of tissues



Well that what we all thought were the words to the song
Singing top of voices as the minibus travelled around the Yorkshire moors
"Sat on the bog with no tissues,me and my heart we got issues"

But so many issues been dwarfed by the terrorist Islamic issue
That is rampant in our society culture and custom
Therefore doing its greatest trumps 
Blinding us to debating God,poverty,bullying,injustice,
You see many are not looking at issues
They worried about one simple disturbing issue

Apr 12, 2016

Oh no dentist again

Been in the most Indescribable pain
Agony not the word l would use
Praying for healing and pain still persists 
Hurt and more misery 
Hate days like this

life can be found

life can be found in the doubts
life can be found in belief

need a little faith

well we need some faith
just a little faith
better results
more pride
decent run of good performances

was this time last year when the disappointment of relegation began to sink in as we suffered a very similar run of form

The archers a mans comment

Something been happening to the listeners of the ARCHERS including me. But got very bored with drawn out storyline .It's very typical of the way Governments via BBC twist the public moods and views TGBL another example.


Radio 4 listeners have been gripped by the appalling treatment of pregnant Helen by her husband Rob Titchener – who has gradually bullied, manipulated, controlled and conceivably even raped her, despite friend and family thinking he’s near-perfect. 

Personally dragged on for a very long time, expecting listeners to recall ever nuance that the writers imagine some of the debates from broadcast been interesting and lot off abuse directed to two groups
firstly those wanting an end to the story line, mainly as they getting bored do not feel its appropriate vehicle for these issues, or they do not listen in for reasons of social change
Second group that gets abuse, MEN. in general who might critic the issue or the storyline.
"we felt this"
"you males don`t understand" (more then a male issue is DV)
"your just a troll"
The English character fully exposed, it's a radio drama nothing more confident many new listeners will fade away having done nothing for the imagined victim's, nor neighbours similar issues.

lets grieve with Ankara, pray deeper,reflect further,committ to each other



Mert Çeliksoy is a friend of mine and lives in Ankara a really decent guy
just like many of the youths worked with over last 40 years
I would like to think like me when l was younger
swims in sea loves music and wants to be tolerant of others while experiencing life
sometimes l hope just as it happens
Mert, well he wrote this very, very recently not long after he boasted, laughed with me about swimming in Paradise bay, in Malta. this is something of what he wrote  

For those who do not know Turkey, or who distance themselves from these attacks, maybe this will open your eyes.
The bombing this evening occurred in the one of the most crowded parts of the centre of town, next to many bus stops with people waiting to go home, arriving for a night out, and sitting in the park relaxing and drinking tea.

Is  the equivalent of a bomb going off outside Debenhams on the Drapery in Northampton, or on New street in Birmingham, or Piccadilly Circus in London.

Can you imagine being there? Can you imagine the place you walk past every day, the bus stops you use, the roads you cross being obliterated.

Can you imagine the victims? The teenagers catching the bus to go home, the grandparents walking into town, the people waiting for a taxi after a long day laughing and socialising in the sun
.

he is a mate (friend of mine).

I need to reflect further on what Mert is feeling, and pray deeper
so many acts of inhumanity and wickedness
time to reflect,and create in me and you,
 climate of tolerance,discussion and sharing
 as Mert above asks its about relationships and the way we view each other

the stuff of worship

Worship is this thing about stuff
way we live life
not `kumba ja my lord` with guitars and eyes closed
its more like the music we listen to
the relationships we form
the style of experience's we hassle our way thru
the tough choices we make
the uncomfortable stuff
mess
THE BEAUTY WE SEE
HOW WE LOVE
SERVE
DEAL WITH OTHERS ALSO MUCH MORE
spirituality does not exist in a vacuum
nor is it confined to Sunday service for one hour

aspirition and beliefs



At this point in the season Hull City can only claim to have 4th best squad, manager in the Championship; Or perhaps the table is lying!
People  talk about statistics and  performance, that's not relevant, it is the score when the referee blows the whistle that counts, every football fan knows that.
The factor missing is the conversion opportunities into realities,
Hull City have created an impressive number of goal scoring chances but they have failed to convert So we are no longer in the automatic promotion place`s.
That a fact. If Steve Bruce and his squad can start converting those opportunities in a more consistent fashion then there is every chance that Hull city will end the season with a successful promotion,
However at the moment that an aspiration, a belief, and it will remain such until actions on the pitch mirror the words in the media.

sometimes its thinline and it cold

Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last I often dream of heaven and I know that  . . . .  there
I know that they found another friend
Maybe  found the answer 2 all the April snow
Maybe one day I'll see my  . . .. again
Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
But all good things, they say, never last












sometimes it appears to me Kevin
that its a really
`thinline between heaven and here`

that's real normal to become a bit disheartened
like great days come the sun shines,  you appear not to have a care in the world.
But sometimes it simply not like that
were not on fakebook
 pretending that days are always fun and we look fantastic.
Lets not be fake because sometimes
 even now its cold and it can snow in April

What your excuse

Moses stuttered.
David’s armor didn’t fit.
John Mark was rejected by Paul.
Timothy had ulcers.
Amos’ only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
Jacob was a liar.
David had an affair.
Solomon was too rich.
Abraham was too old.
David was too young.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
John was self-righteous.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a murderer.
So was Moses.
Jonah ran from God.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
Jeremiah was a bullfrog;
Just kidding — he was depressed and suicidal.
Elijah was burned out.
Martha was a worry-wart.
Mary may have been lazy.
Samson had long hair.
Noah got drunk, and that’s not all.
Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
But God doesn’t require a job interview.
He doesn’t hire and fire like most bosses,
because He’s more our Dad than our Boss.
He doesn’t look at financial gain or loss.
He’s not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging,
sassy, or brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need.



Easter reminds us love not a victory march,it's cold and broken hallelujah, . . . from the cross cry hallelujah



Easter reminds us love not a victory march,it's cold and broken hallelujah,from the cross cry hallelujah 
 
Hallelujah is actually two words hallelu meaning (practically meaning), honour worship shout ,and jah is shortened version street meaning, Yahweh.
so its praise God.

Was it so long ago



The singer says turn a different corner and we never would have met
Or you may not found faith
Perhaps a different family
Defiantly more valentine cards
Hair could be bit longer more easier to manage 
Even make the day a bit brighter
Some fashionable clothes to wear
Different car to drive
better employment prospects
But should I have turned a different corner and we would never have met

Then again "Simply no"
As another singer laments
Simply no 💘

Fun with the Archers radio programme or maybe not fun



                                         So back in my mind to 1974 just starting work
                   At the same time every day the life 
        The work
Even the world slows down
                               Real slow 
As the Archers comes on the radio
Like a love affair
It remains
BUT
As so much changes so recently has the archers it become eastendrualers yes that's right
Domestic violence over 9 months `long time in radio land`?
It dragged on
Stirring ...stirring . . like a toilet brush removing fescues that's stuck
When you reflect.maybe tweet or comment Facebook
l bet like me you`ll You get a lot of abuse
It's simply this
It's radio and we listen for fun. to be entertained
Not to be sermonized
So the funs gone and it appears like me,so have many other listeners

Aries March 21st 1956 Liverpool born your stars for today

If it's your birthday today
Then the money worries shoulders so long will not be removed
The age around your eyes will not be  softened 
As fashion change and the love flows away
There is still alive a memory
Chains holding you are ready to be unshackled as sure as that trailer by the sea
is still awaiting
A Lone figure still walks near a phone box somewhere
Awaiting a call that says "how do you always know just when to call".
So make that call
Enjoy the love waiting
Face tomorrow more loved valued and appreciated

Piss In da church

The church car park areas became a public convenience this afternoon and evening, with rows of people constantly waiting to urinate by the boundary wall



"This year we held meetings with police, added extra public toilets, got ambulances on site. Having said that 20,000 people in the pjazza is way too much. We are going to make it very clear with the authorities that we are not happy," the mayor said.
Parish priest Fr Claude Portelli said he was disappointed by the shameful behaviour seen in the afternoon and the evening.

As the bee gees sang
"I'm going nowhere somebody help me if you can"
World going one way 
Decent honest people who not self centred going another

The archers and the DV issue

Certainly, Rob and Helen's relationship is unusually plausible and his careful undermining of her confidence subtly, cleverly and creepily drawn. Subtle... clever... creepy... Did I just say that? About The Archers? I don't know who I am anymore.

Great listening and the emotions
The drama
The awfulness 
Hurt
Fear
Agony
Fill my room as l listen and grips me
However not stirring me to anything else
It certainly spoiling the listening experiance for others who have switched off
The debate rolls around wether or not this is the correct medium for running issues like this
It also l think about the suitability of long drawn out drama
Is it real 
Would other have seen and come into the situation

Like a soul song whose emotions l understand
As the singer asks 'have you seen her' 
Just listening but l know that sentiment 

The drama pulls me in l cringe hurt feel uncomfortable 
Then l have to switch of and get on. With  life
The Noel live each day 
With all the drama that brings

I want a Budget that helps the poorest in this country, that creates jobs, that encourages local authorities to build council housing, and that shows that there is a sense of the reality experienced by those living in inner urban areas. If we do not provide jobs for young people, we will reap the whirlwind.’

Yahweh

Agreement to expand mixed-gender prayer space at holy site would cause ‘spiritual damage beyond imagination,’ says Rabinowitz.
We need to be clear.
Those following a 'false prophet', are doing just that.
Someone who injected themselves and that wicked, vile,oppressive religion with its hatred of others.
It's Daniel of biblical and scriptural truths.
Has no place alongside other faiths
Allah is not Yahweh.
If that was the case then God almighty got it wrong.
The false prophet was not called ,commissioned, by the Almighty.
He who was involved in violence every 6 minutes for the last 13 years of his life, is a false prophet.
Denies the Jesus of the Gospels.
God of the Old Testament.
The false prophet and his deluded followers must be kept apart from all on the Faith journey.
False prophet has questionable roots
Wicked vile oppressive.
No place in modern spiritual pilgrimage.

Vinyl in museums it be me next !



Who would believe that stuff, That l still use end up in a oldie world expedition. 
Hey
Not dead yet.
Talked often about love of Vinyl so surprised to see in a show about old world yesterday.
The above selection of Vinyl for the junkies
Got quite nostalgic  . . . . .tearful even
Suppose just passing  .   .through experiencing this thing called life .

`Hip hop` as l was in conversation also
Not about albums but the tracks =
LL cool jay     I need love
Fugues.          Killing me softly
Jazzie             Summertime
Some albums that l own got good track listening,
 like "miseducation of Laura Hill"
Jazzie z, "original gangster"  of course Gill Scott Heron- "I'm new here" (remix)
But mostly a track influenced by events that coincide Riots, poverty,
Love, lack of love, oppression all find statement in lyrics and rhyme

A part of life
This precious thing we live

Not meaning to offend

Sometimes just clear there a force, purpose, nature, Loving God,

My journey,pause,and ask! as l drink cup of tea

The bus driver from cirrewerra to valatta is a Burnley fan,again l sit as so often in my life,embarrassed Hull City FC supporter,it feels such small world when you are red faced and disappointed in tigers football team.
Emotions like disappointed,sad,unhappy,embarressed.
These emotions fall away as real dramas and life others experiance crosses my path.
I now sit in. The warm safe,drinking cup of tea,an everyday occurrence for myself.
All of that 
Safe
Warm
Well Feb
Chatted with friends
Prayed
Journey in faith

As the day pulls away from the morning into a glowing afternoon l thank God
Struggle what can l do 
What is it l need to be doing about the situation of others
I cannot claim to love God and be a follower f Jesus if l am content to watch the struggles of others
Pray that God will show me what l can do!

From a street painting displayed in Mehillia



The face is real
The hand rest on her shoulder 
Grace flows with the tears that are mingled into hair that wash the feet
Do you see this person here
Do you feel what they are engaged in
Are your tears flowing mingled down with your own emotions
Who do l grieve for this day
How many of my tears hit the ground uncounted
Prayers unanswered
Again l pray
Please God in your grace hear myself

Stop pause read the world reflect

Time to Stop.          Pause read the world reflect

No process

No performance          

Actually take a break. 

Turn off the stuff of busyness: your email, phonecalls, conference calls, texts, twitter and facebook. 

Remember God and rest in the peace that He gives.

Be fully aware of Him and you and how you are not the one who keeps the universe spinning.

If ever you don't feel valued

If you ever feel unimportant.. .take out a brand-new £10 note,next put it on the floor rub it,put dirt on it, moments ago it was worth £10. It was brand new. But now it’s got dirt on it and it hasn’t lost its value, it’s still worth £10.’ Now crease it up and unfolded it. Look at it... ‘It still hasn’t lost its value. It doesn’t matter how dirty or how creased you think your life is, you have never lost your value in God’s eyes.’

Coming soon new way of growing emerging Church in Easington



Group work small, mentoring/discipleship classes never been high on the Durham Easington district churches. Despite essential to the heart of our life as a church. Such small groups provide the perfect context for friendship, care, challenge, discipleship and leadership development in the Christian Faith.

Which provides clues to real lack of authentic Christian growth in that area.
Further the place of `Freemasonry` as life choices more indictment. 
Following discussion, perhaps some of us going to grow a `house Church` meet needs, OR needs must.

Let's turn towards the story of Easter and Jesus


happy days are here again in the grim North east

The North East as a region has the highest suicide rate in England and is second to Wales for Britain. There were 13.8 suicides per 100,000 people in the North East in 2013, 
 The areas mental health recovery team will cease to function.
More further cuts are going to severely impact on mental health services, domestic violence services, decent homes provision, services for the elderly, disabled and young, libraries, leisure centres and museums; 
540 jobs will be lost and on top of it all there will be a 3.9%  council tax increase generally in the north east families and individuals will be £750+ worse off
Altogether now happy days are here again

The band's first studio album in nine years will be released on November 13th. Silencio, second track from the album, is out now.

  It's a point of excitement for those of the U2 followers who are pretty excited. Looking forward to hearing track 12 the last recorded...

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"
