everyday people and issues

If someone wants something then they reach for it.
don’t they?
 If someone wants something then they attempt decisions which are reflected in their choices,
 are we correct
 Yes, in so many areas of life this is what happens.

but some issues are so difficult

like access to children when a parent departs a relationship.

wrong religious beliefs, Islam wrong geographically
historically
culturally
theologically

around us are people who are not always `able to move on`
`get on with it`
`progress`

yet they are left out of the loop
not everything in life is just about `success`
money
relationships are so hard and huge things like `faith` `culture`
get in the way
smaller viewed issues like `relationship breakdowns`
 affect people in everyday ways

heard a great song recently
Lesley Duncan
`Chain of fools`
mega but so underrated

Feeling like Autumn

Another Saturday hull city team news

love in complex society

Believing you are in the wrong body, can be complex.

 “the truth is the truth and our message is the same”, while acknowledging there is a distinction between how we respond to activists seeking to ‘deconstruct gender’ and genuine sufferers.

“Our political engagement and our pastoral practice can’t be two completely separate things”,  

 So says, Rob Smith a theologian who studied at Moore Theological College,Australia.

l find this is best advice on the complexities around this issue.

We must strive to understand people,listen to their tale,reflect back a pastoral heart,instead of being judgemental.

Their is maturity,perhaps it comes from being a certain age,also a certain vulnerability now hold in own life.

Measured by love for our neighbours and a concern for wider society, Searching always to reflect the pastoral heart of God. 

Jesus next to you now
in the present . . .  alongside
         Vertical God
            not detached or removed
                    living breathing involved

l know where l was 7 years ago today
watching Hull City lose to spurs at the KC
5-1 it was a midweek match enjoyed the game
despite the heavy defeat

why not

Why gotta ask do we not look for God in our neighborhoods?
why do we not look for God among those nearest?
How come the Church wants us to seek God, at higher hierarchy?   and not a Vertical God who is positioned alongside us and not upwards and distant from us?

It not going to get any easier,

We need a new very different politic.

Angry. . . feel need a kiss from God.

Side with the vulnerable as many local to myself are struggling,

I see little hope.

ITS FOOTIE AGAIN 2016 SEASON

You are down to 13 fit senior pros and in such disarray that all the predictions suggest you are favourites to go down. Meanwhile, your fans arrive so frustrated with matters they stage a protest insisting the owner vacates his position.
Enter Davies at the back for Hull City. Their captain was sensational throughout Saturday's encounter with Leicester City and showed the sort of leadership qualities that seem to be so desperately lacking in their boardroom.
He and his team-mates did not give Jamie Vardy a kick - and by the end, Davies left Hull fans singing 'Can't Help Falling In Love'.

Result against Premier champions
lifted everyone connected with the Hull City

protest and watch

The start of a new season should be one of the most exciting days of the year for any football fan, never mind one lucky enough to follow one of England's Premier League sides in the so-called greatest league in the world. Unfortunately, Saturday's curtain-raiser against Champions Leicester City is a day thousands of Hull City fans are dreading

you would think so but not for those of us following the thinline between hull city and relegationit only a game but it appears some are very affected by the events at a footie match.That is fine as they make the dramas, and excitement, good to understand. l am not that concerned but understand the protest and upsetmentperhaps it because l am so far away that l feel detached

the protest was peaceful
not so large
but very vocal

Now onto my other big issue at present Celebrity BB 2016

FOLLOWING THE DECISION NOT YET VIEWED AROUND A SUGGESTED STRIKE  Bear said: "It's really weird the atmosphere today."

The housemates then blanked the troublemaker, who said: "I feel like I'm being victimised. I can't take this any more. They need to grow up."

Without getting a reaction, Bear stormed into the house, shouting: "It's not on. This is embarrassing... It really is. 

it can be very vile viewing when most are committed to promoting soft pawn,l have found this hard to watch indeed switching off at times.this used to be a good way with the insights,discussions offering insights to emotional literacy,relationship forming,group storming,behaviour ,boundaries all human behaviour was on display.

Not so nowadays

me and the farmer on the Archers

its the Archers and l am one of the one in 11 who listen to this drama.

 Over the years, some of the topics addressed include everything from the British floods,people lost property and lives put at risk,

and a pet died and came back to living among us in this 

life.
Scruff.
That old chestnut of course Fox hunting, BSE crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Britain joining the Common Market along with the  closure of the Royal Show in 2009.

not everything has been an easy listen

• In 1955, 20 million listeners tuned in when Grace Archer tragically died in her husband’s arms after she tried to rescue a horse from a barn fire.
• To mark the show’s 60th anniversary, a bumper 30-minute episode on New Year’s Day 2011 saw the popular Nigel Pargetter fall to his death from the roof of Lower Loxley Hall.
• l actually laughed it was so funny
• From the latter end of 2015, listeners were glued to their radios as Rob Titchener ramped up the low-level undermining and abuse of his pregnant wife Helen, née Archer
• but this has been perhaps a bit to far coining the phrase eastendersrural a cross between that awful dross,even loved by my son,eastenders and the rural soap we call Archers.
• this has not addressed the issue of domestic violence it just become tedious and boring.,   it not the place of such dramas to be torchbearers for serious issues.
• Simply does not work on this platform. . . .also it got dragged out.
• But then in every 100 people in the UK, there are around another 9 who may disagree with myself on this.

love trying to draw but only ever for myself

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
CBB 16

Well been getting a bit of trash TV used to be about relationships
 and how people interacted.
 Now it appears to me just to be about abuse, threats, and wickedness.
Really scrapped the bottom of the barrel,with some vile, and inhuman persons masquerading on the show.
Some of got the name they go by tattooed, on their necks like toilet wall graffiti.
What are we coming too,when this passes as entertainment,anger and threats along with Nazi jokes from a`bygone wanna be star`.
For a quick joke one contestant got booted off the programme.
Then another abused and threatened others along with abuse to females .
The punishment, Nothing.
Mixture of non reality shows like the vile Goerdie shores and the TOWIE type programme leaves you with a vacant guest list
These likes fill the places as they behave like they do on own programmes.

Not watched by the many including myself.

The Hull City situation

Unhappy and saddened by way some fans of my hometown team Hull City are behaving towards situation

The Hull City situation, my view from a city supporter who often lived because of work, away from my Home town.
Family plus friends often give me the nuances don`t get from media like TV ,or the Radio and suchlike.
At present Unhappy and saddened by way some fans of my hometown team Hull City, are behaving towards situation.
ITS ONLY A GAME.
on a social media link someone compared the owner in another very inappropriate manner,witnessed and enjoyed by others not HCFC fans.
so l have to say `Liking` and `linking` the club (via a remark about its owners) to child abusers and mass murders, is a stance too far, getting myself and others at a point where we do not want to be associated with our own Clubs supporters.
There is always the line "where you at Maccessfield 35 years ago?"
Apparently you have to been among some hardcore 300 who went bare skinned to a minor game, often before you were born, to be a real supporter.
Yes it not good the currant situation, shameful,many are angered. 
But Football on a Saturday afternoon at 15.00 can only 
only ever be a game.(or indeed the other times it played).
Only, never ever,will be more then that.
It doesn't matter how you dress up the situation,
the result will always be a game of football was played.
NOTHING more.
Does it sometimes give us guidance for life?
Yes all sports do that
Does it entertain when issue are large and you need to escape them for a while?
Yes it can do that.
What we are witnessing at HCFC, is something going really wrong.
Communications, a relationship, business plan, community issues, but they are not template for life, it only ever is a game.
Game with loads of money.
Yes and in that is load more issues that not going to address.
despite not getting there every week,many still love our hometown and its footie team dare we shout . . . or allowed to say....
UTT up the tigers.

Hungry in Yorkshire

Well we need to have some laughter and joy in our lives

But be careful out their on the moors of Yorkshire

Been watching CBB16 concerned about relationships formed

Way people bully openly

Along with the abuse of drink clear some people coming down from drug abuse

sexist and racist behaviour along with real lack of depth in the characters 

there is 'unspirituality' that is not often evident 

lot of irrelevant comments 

Life not being lived to true potential as displays 

Sad  . . .but worth watching? I ask.

Also getting in touch with COACHTRIP 16 

another programme interest me in interactions

between humans along with relationships formed

Some simple garden pictures from this morning

storm in Hull

Hull City have devoted the summer to offering a whole new definition of the term “perfect storm”.

With Assem Allam, their owner, seriously ill, Steve Bruce, the former manager, falling out with Assem’s son, the vice-chairman Ehab Allam, and takeover talks with a couple of interested American consortiums either placed on hold or collapsing, the portents were never overly promising.

Having been thwarted by the Football Association in their attempt to re-name the team “Hull Tigers” – a potential move which divided supporters – an even more controversial initiative, namely a membership scheme featuring monthly payments and no concessions for children or pensioners has not gone down overly well.

two views of Robin Hoods Bay

Robin Hoods Bay in 2016
teenagers dreams and time walked away
as the village sits in the sun
new tide washes away all the moments
Keep asking was life easier
felt like moments where longer
faith was new and developed
God played alongside as we built our sandcastles

some views stayed the same
but felt the intolerance
"your parking across my drive"
`no l am not`
Swear words directed at me and few threats.
but l am not bothered
Bay in the sun stays the same
bit backward,
self serving,
lacking progress,
probably the worst cafes in Yorkshire.

Questions people ask

When l was a child the biggest terror was getting the cane.

Then the terror waiting when you got home, then got the belt for getting the cane in first place.

Followed by if you don't stop crying you'll get some. More Terror.

Our parents invented it

Pity some of these rave Jihad didn't face parental pressure. Nor educated in my Faith.

So you never hear me
 use God or Jesus or Christ
 without respect 
and with LOVE

BROTHA KEV ON PRAYER

Prayer for me is also wrestling
asking tough questions
two way so need to believe when walk the coastal path at 4 in the morning like Wednesday.
When speak and find no answer
God is listening
when the ranting plus lose my rag words
 don't flow or form
God is listening.
You never hear me use God or Jesus or Christ
without respect and full of hope
Keep pointing us to this. .Faith is a lifelong journey!
Wrestling  . .talking..pondering..growing
Dark periods are all part of the journey.

Place l call home

starting in my mind to plan and begin
journey where l develop further recover
its  a place of faith
place of peace
place of culture
place of hope
place l call home
but it not how you see it
how l perceive the place

chasing virtues in 2016

even if you had enough money

these things you could not buy

but they can still be purchased

1. Love

the greatest (so others say) love song ever written is `God only knows`
But here the rub it begins with a really negative staement
"l may not always love you" 2. Faith

when most other things have gone this stands
3. Character
you need to develop this in your life long journey
4. Integrity
need to be honest and have strong ethical standerds 5. Compassion
something we must be sharing

6. Forgiveness 7. Trust 8. Respect

over used word and really not sure many understanding
much to do with how you value others their views and property
9. Wisdom 10. Peace
all into short supply these days

PRAYER WHEN THE VIOLENCE IS JUST TOO MUCH

Is nothing sacred anymore
or why am l asking?
on a day of more evil
terror hatred and meaningless violence
Is nothing sacred?
Is nothing Holy?
Are lifes so easily taken?
Where did we go so wrong?
What is going to happen?
Oh Lord hear the cry of the righteous intercede and help us.
We call to you Lord almighty,
Jesus we ask you to turn your ear towards us,
accept our prayers,
answer us Lord.

what is prayer

what is prayer 
when does it take place
well all the time
it a two way communication
active
social
in context
every day every moment

airshow nearby

well its Sunday and time to be family
chilling on the cliffs near Seaham 
watching loads of aircraft spinning
fun its Sunday and need to drink cup of tea and reflect

sad start to new season at Hull city

Steve Bruce resigned as Hull City manager,Friday 22 July

we found out yesterday and were immediately very sad, he was  increasingly frustrated by a lack of transfer activity at the newly promoted Premier League club.

Hull confirm Steve Bruce’s England talks and call for swift resolution

With the new season only three weeks away, and heralded by Hull citys return to the premiership elite, this departure has provoked chaos and dispute  at the KC Stadium. 

Bruce is understood to have left with  heavy heart .His position was untenable further his  relationship with Ehab Allam, the vice-chairman, broken..

Mike Phelan, Bruce’s assistant, was placed in caretaker charge on Friday night.

With Assam Allam, Hull’s owner, to whom Bruce has always been close, seriously ill, and his son Ehab keen to sell up, the manager has been unable to strengthen an injury-ravaged squad. Although Allam Jr has placed takeover talks with two interested consortium on hold until after the transfer deadline, Bruce failed to sign a senior player this summer.

To exacerbate such problems, Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo, Allan McGregor and Bruce’s son Alex have suffered long-term injuries. Meanwhile Chuba Akpom and Isaac Hayden, who were on loan from Arsenal last season, have departed, leaving Hull with around 12 fit and experienced players.

It is believed crisis talks with Ehab Allam on Thursday ended badly ,that when Bruce failed to appear at Cottingham training base early Friday morning, coaching staff informed the players he had quit. 

Intensely loyal to their mentor, they were said to be angry and upset, sentiments reflected by Hull fans who, like the players, had been fearing this moment for some time.

worklessness not useless

presiding over repellent rhetoric around worklessness – yet are doing little to deal with the problem

This government “fit-for-work” tests are routinely, inaccurately judging disabled people as not in need of out-of-work sickness benefits 
one claimant stated “My doctor’s opinion can be legally ignored by the DWP”, and that they – as well as those disabled people who, with tailored support, could work – are being abandoned to a JSA system that assumes they are fit and healthy.

its a long way from here

SUMMER THE UMPTEEN TIME

Weather is warm,hot,sunny
Being English we so not used to this
we breathe with difficulty
complain
The scum nearby smokes dope uses drugs
playing music loud
After the third day many asking `where the rain`?
l go back in my mind"feel the touch of her fingers"
