Invite those not invited to sit at the table.

36 times in the scripture it says to love the stranger.
 Love the stranger because you were once strangers.

Accept that faith may have been bastardised and your copy needs you to Praxis the habits,
Try to be an individual,
but try also to be societal .
Present and  formed in large part of the activities and customs
at times you may be part of monastic character 
reflect life look for those on the edges and not invited

U2 sang they still havn`t found what they were looking for

It not an evangelical song nor is it about call to faith it not a song or statement for the lost.it about a person and the faith journey they are on . .They still got so much to discover in the journey but this they have found,`they believe in the kingdom come and the person who came`.
The Others (lost).. have not searched and found no interest in Christianity...simply In 2016 they are not searching. The Church and those of the Christian faith need to accept that many are no longer looking! Modern life prevents many from engaging with spiritual migration. They are not leaving Faith or rejecting message nor are they rejecting Christian faith.

 They (the many) are simply not engaging.

It has become increasingly difficult as a believer to know how to respond to an ever-changing culture  l wrestle with `loving your enemies` then see images of innocent people killed, how does it translate when whole communities been wiped out by an enemy . how do we address the `falseness` of prophet of Islam yet maintain good relationships  How do we combat poverty and its effects on inner cities, outer estate cultures, and rural settings. What should be the words and actions l take In a way`s that demonstrates grace and love.  To enable refugee to take place among us in my own community Jesus was able to love messy people, work in messy  situations and take uncomfortable response.

what is community?

How do we live in community?
When so many are growing up and
developing in a way that needs no others.
How we build community when often can survive on our own.
When we have become able to stand alone!
Yes l accept we should belong be a part of the bigger stuff.
but we get along so well without......
called again to ask, search, find answer.
what is community?
why do we need it?

Does the Church mirror society or an image of faith living based on the teachings and example of the Lord Jesus?

The emergence and myself.

l am reading `Emergence` by Phyllis Tickle
its about the church , how we got where we are
What happened along the way
BUT, The way ahead always `that about the likes of you and me`.

Luther one of my heroes' been re reading and re reading the sermon on the mount . . .Matt 5-Matt 7 v 29
surprising how much l need to reread this great message.
Jesus my lord and guide, it all sometimes gets bit cloudy but important to reconnect again 

Glass not half empty

 The Church from the fourth century onwards had 5 patriarchs or heads, and each one governed a jurisdictional area or patriarchate. The patriarchates were located in the West in Rome, which spoke Latin, and in the East in Antioch, Alexandria, Jerusalem, and Byzantium, which all spoke Greek.

Wanting to create a new Christian empire, and due to the degree of paganism in Rome, the Emperor Constantine decided to move the capital of the Empire to Byzantium (which was later renamed Constantinople after him)

"We are who we are and know where we have come from".

"We are who we are and know where we have come from".

We are trying to perform and will continue trying to do so.

"Our attitude was spot on and we have to keep going, the boys are tough and mentally strong, and we just need to keep believing."

If the previous defeats against Bournemouth and Stoke had angered supporters of my home town footie team,then the words and ares scratching attitude of the gorilla called Phelan angers myself and those communicate with even more

This guy is a classic example of EGO

 its my job, l deserve it,my job, my job, my job.

Despite the fact he is not qualified, nor can he do it correctly. He even stated that he felt.

` there was a marked improvement in the Tigers' latest stumble`.

"We are who we are and know where we have come from".

Start the other way around.

Many people keep asking, who are you?
what are you doing here ?
but Simon the Cynic
my name for the guy says we should start with 
Why?
Why are you here ?
l am Kevin trying to combat a bit of heart illness, plus currently not employed.
Am just about surviving at present but need break in warm sun.
why
Why ?

Here start with why? If that any help.
Well became ill was travelling to much so started to need to spend time getting better. Feel better then done recently, but get tired very easy, get breathless.
That becomes troublesome.
Still miss LIFE, that was in another time.

What amusement arcade games should we bring back

Well l liked the one where you smacked things with a mallet

Matty used to play it can't recall the name 

What fun 

These little yellow things popped up and you clobbered them really hard

Even if you didn't score well it was fun

Slow start on the roads in north east 

My Corsa and a steam roller near my home

Spent full daylight hours cleaning etc...yesterday

Charging electric stuff washing clothes and other man should do stuff

Did you know trees communicate with each other

They share feelings and other important news about growing

Also like to live in community

look after the vulnerable trees even if not same type

If you get cremated can you still spin in your grave ?gotta ask

Shabut Gula and her eyes of sorrow.

look into the eyes that have seen so much sorrow

Shame still today she is being harassed despite the traumas

that engulfed her life previously.

In the `80`s she was the eyes that looked from a veil at a world that was turning away, when rediscovered around 2007 her eyes shown 

looking into a world that was `passing a glance` back to her homeland, a land that had been torn again by war

as the immigration debate floods our media via TV, Radio, etc..

Look again into her eyes, what are you thinking?

what would you like to say?

how much listening to her story can you afford to hear?

"Her children are not sleeping since last night - she is a poor widow," Khan said. "Her children need her and she needs justice."

Officials at the FIA and Pakistan's National Identity Authority were not immediately available for comment.

prayer for today

God bless each other this day share

a smile

a passing thought

a grateful nod

if facing challenge `life gets better`

God bless

`life does get better` if you doubt myself

find a copy of Katie Pipers book of same title
read,embrace the ideas, try to enable others life to get better

The sick, the poor, as well as the unborn, are all made in the image of God and worthy of the highest respect.

Possible link between the two events in sunny Malta

An American is in hospital with grievous injuries after he was shoved and beaten by two men in Paceville in the early hours of the morning. 

The fight happened on Triq San Ġorġ at around 12.45am, police said, with the 35-year-old American hitting his head against a metal skip after being shoved by one of the two other men, who are both Libyan nationals

Five dead, no survivorsPlane was headed to Misurata, sources say
MIA aerodrome closed until further notice

Frontex denies it had deployed the plane

Five people died this morning after the aircraft they were flying in crashed shortly after take-off in Luqa at around 7.20am. 

Sources said the plane crashed near the runway soon after take-off and subsequently burst into flames. An eyewitness told Times of Malta they saw the plane take-off and rise before it suddenly tipped onto its right side "and went straight down into the ground."

If you are thinking of leaving the Church

Most of us at times feel like we are alone in the struggle that the migration of spiritual discourse is ours alone

But doubts. Feelings of isolation,

Wrestling with the storytelling,

Part of that Huge migration away from the established Church!

"The established church part of institution learned people trying

 to feed diet nonsense to others who simply do not question what is presented."

There no encouragement to examine or challenge what force fed.

People feel disheartened!

If you are thinking of leaving the Church.

Do so,

Yes do so.

Don`t go back till the Church sorts it problems out.

`While you are away seek Jesus,

Read study question and apply the Bible and the holy spirits teaching to your life`

Seek out the modern forms of Faith sharing evident in the Christian movement 

Praying peppers

Grown a pepper that looks like someone praying

That's from the front view

And guess what the green tomatoes started to go ripe

Which they hadn't till the spiritual pepper showed, it's nature further developed

Although from the side it looks very much like Corbyn the labour scummy leader

Siting down when room to stand

That my deep spiritual thinking for this week completed

Grown by my spiritual hands

Be blessed as you ponder on the praying peppers

modern spirituality music and vertical

Society in general seems to be growing tired of these vertical relationships. The bottom part of the pyramid is crying out for a new structure, as it suspects – often correctly – that the top of the pyramid doesn’t always have their best interests at heart.

And this discontent is affecting people’s view of religion and spirituality. 

The rise of the ‘spiritual but not religious’ group is in part a rejection of this vertical theology and the religious institutions that it gave birth to.

It seems to me that Jesus challenged this Old Testament vertical theology.

 Through his teaching and lifestyle he demonstrated that we no longer have to go to the temple, because Jesus is the temple, 

and with his Spirit in us, so are we.

'It was a very nice kitchen.' Seems impossible but it was forty years ago that Adam, Bono and Edge first got together in Larry's kitchen to talk about starting a band,

'It was a very nice kitchen.'
Seems impossible but it was forty years ago that Adam, Bono and Edge first got together in Larry's kitchen to talk about starting a band,

"my very favourite band U2 it began just after l had found faith l journeyed thru the music and the development. great lyrics,spirituality,CD from Vinyl.social commentary,live Aid,faith God Jesus music friendships formed due to love of the music. Still the same feeling from the whole event music and the wider stuff even l worked in Dublin." One day Larry Mullen pinned the legendary note seeking to form a band, on the notice board in Mount Temple Comprehensive.

roads in Malta oooppppssss

Well one thing get me worried is riding in a bus in Malta the traffic appears to myself to move too fast. The roads are adequate but not developed for speed,
this is one result often witness in the beautiful Island of Malta.
Still rather be there then in this cold place called England,it very chilly at present.
The harvested vegetable grown over the summer nearly exhausted,
been trading,swapping,and giving further receiving veg for the last few months.
Been loads of fun and created a welcome kinda community feel.

LIFE NOT LIKE A POLARIOD

life is not like a holding a camera
taking a quick picture..  how are you are at present
Its much harder to develop then that
relationships form,
 merge . . . . . . . . . . then end
People come into your life
They leave
Some memories are like A picture
they always stay....long after that person has departed 

Personal family thought sharing today

Looking like a collection from the Mafia wife's of Humberside,
my mother at her recent birthday with four (4) generations her daughter Diane and in laws with granddaughter and great granddaughter.
The event hosted by my brother Ian and the other brothers and sisters that l have
l come form a large northern family `try our best`

THIS IS A BIT SAD the ole garden from ole family house that of course is no longer lived in by any of the Waller family ...life moves on with it changing seasons and different moments..wrestle with stuff and tide and time pass me by..well that how it feels
try to make sense of life but strives forward and the day has gone it another season
changes happen and l personally feel a bit of lose.As it really been that long...have we really been so out of touch..ten years gone by still a prayer is offered..is it my prays that are not listened too...nothing in life is unconnected..well not sure l can accept or believe that..faith grows health fails purpose and nature unsure

the immediate of now . . . .

never heard of this singer song writer
The way ahead must be to ensure that any person who is in Malta shares the same fundamental attitude – though not necessarily the same faith – and values and acknowledges the primary importance of Maltese heritage.

yet again we got a young girl who feels she wants to be a singer now gets depressed
perhaps it chasing riches and wrong kind of success
this is quite common depression
chasing wrong dreams
immediate success

"Although this industry isn't an easy ride for anyone, the truth is I'm not sure I was ever cut out for the pressure of being an artist. When I realised what a negative impact my career was having on my mental health, I realised something needed to change."

form Hull newspaper

Interesting look at spirituality in 2016

You would think in today's cynical world, dominated by science and technology, there would be little room for traditions such as fortune telling.

quoting Rose hannah 

"I have been doing this professionally since I was 15 years old,"  "Attitudes towards fortune telling haven't really changed over the years."

"You always get the odd one who just come in for a laugh but many of them soon realise it isn't all smoke and mirrors. Most customers are very serious about their readings."

 Such practice is taken very seriously by the deliverer and most of her customers.

Mind you`l asked about tomorrows weather and told me to freck off`.

Is this part of the immediate spirituality people chase, got to be soon even now
no reflection. 
waiting .
praying.
Like many things music performing and positive spirituality must spend time
waiting in the long silence

Pray for Syria let peace and justice flow let dialogue discussion replace bombs May love reign ease troubled hearts Minds may be turned towards
God

May you always be courageous be upright ..May you stay forever young

May you always be courageous be upright and strong

May you stay forever young and may you live to dance on your own grave

few rules around fairground behaviour

The Rules of Hull Fair

Point out how you wouldn't like to this street during fair week.
but lets be honest its very handy for soccer and the park.


Dismiss any claims that it would be ace because you'd just go out your door and you'd be at the fair.
 Consider that the residents probably get a bonus off the local council for the disruption.. Insist on having a look round first and walking for an hour before try something to eat, then perhaps a ride. 
of course always see an ex......enough here they either look brilliant or appear to have 10 kidz.

 Mention how they seem to put the prices up as it starts getting busy.

which is not true as at my age and health l never stay passed 20-30.

 Mention how much more expensive it seems this year.

"HOW FRECKIN MUCH"

 yes l have said this every time l have been, 

"you can tell it's Hull Fair week" when it starts to rain.of course it always rains and gets very bitter chilly.

Watch several people take on nigh-on impossible stalls - like the hoopla that has a PlayStation for a prize but the hoop would only just fit over it using laser precision machinery.

End up winning again a goldfish in a plastic bag

Speculate how much loose change must be underneath the rides.

CHECK YOUR OWN POCKETS ALL THE TIME

Get roped into going on rides that make you feel ill for the rest of the evening.

worse still you disown any family and friends who feel sick, go home you jest.

 Wonder how all the fortune tellers have been visited by Cannon and Ball and similar minor celebrities.

how come you don't trust them

ask them to predict tomorrows weather and they get angry

 Buy a burger, a hot dog and some chips.

you know already on a diet, but the smells get to me, 

pay for big squeaky inflatable hammer.

despite putting away carefully it gets a leak.

 Stock up on candy-floss, nougat, brandy snap, coconuts, pomegranates and bags of sweets. 

 which share for weeks and keep putting the nougat you attempt to eat back in its wrapper week after bloody week.

 Completely forget that coconuts and pomegranates are a third of the price if you went in instead local superstores this is real you are walking along the huge wide street become dismayed when you see the same stuff, but cheaper,(it all tat by the way) even though you knew it would be.

 Decide not to get the fair buses and instead take the mile and a quarter hike from the station over the flyover in the cold October drizzle, against a tide of parents pushing prams with massive Spongebob balloons tethered to them.

but really glad getting home and although not like you recall so happy been round the Hull Fair this year

Resolve never to go again, as you are now £65 lighter.

 

David and Lorentz a few years ago about to crash ride now they grown up with own families life WOW it passes real Quick

 

territorialy spirits over Hull

Well the news most of residents of  northern town by the sea knew,Hull is the least prosperous city in the UK. Now waiting for something l don`t already know.

Prosperity UK stated "deep rooted failure by all levels of local and national governance" the 1970s collapse of the fishing industry greatly contributed to the city's "loss of prosperity".

The report further highlighted authority boundaries were an issue,

we was once moved to a new county called Humberside, that was difficult and unhelpful.

Then moved back to east riding also called east Yorkshire.

Hull had a "striking poverty of aspiration."

Once the langue of the `principalities of Hull group` which talks about the in-depth attitudes and the governing spirit. Territorial Spirits have gone out of fashion theologically, yet l feel we need to always be aware of such issues and Powers.

"I found it uncanny but he does and he reads same books as me, doesn't like some music l agree with him on that..don't get him started on hummus and cous cos because calls vegan food Devil food...would you believe it?"

Society that created wickedness now running scared

Clowns

Clowns and l don't mean Jeremy Corbyn and his hitler lefties

Are scaring people with antics it pretty funny in two ways one the humour forget the fear

The silly costumes and face painting suppose got to forget the hacksaws and machetes 

We have promoted Halloween and evil as a nice event each year

What did society expect 

Did you expect it was gonna be a nice 'hug a demon' event 

No

What did society expect once kids and misguided families get a taste

They moved onto similar stuff the fear sum clown is next step

Terror attacks bringing type of fear was always going to follow

What did you expect

Candy floss, toffee apples and brandy snaps this is what you get

It not classical thinking

About reality

Keep God and God thoughts away the progression that follows is 

fear and terror causing upset meanness and wickedness

NOT CLOWNING AROUND

so after years of promoting Halloween we have discovered that it not good and it become serious issue mind you have you seen what most kidz are exposed to via TV and the Internet

the latest is that Police forces across the UK
are going into shops and stating that Kidz are getting frightened
many are bullied via social media
 sexual aware at 6
today we learn that every 7 seconds in World a girl under 15 is married
HOW
HOW
HOW did that come around in the UK

tainting the issue

accordingly we learning that rape and such issues aired on drama`s
Do nothing for victims Just taint issue and unhelpful

thought this for a long time as the real issue do not get addressed

nor is there a factual reflection hence the whole Helen and Rob issue on Archers aired on radio 4

this went on for a very long time some comments were hostile

Is this the way we go and transmit issues in the new millions l feel not helpful factual or useful
