My illness is winning at present,very sorry appear quite.

 The View is great, but health took biggest stumble in few year's.. slightly better today.

Concern for justice, Society not so flawed nor damaged remains.

Underemployment has been rising

Low wages flattened

Part time roles risen

Inflation skyrocketed

Energy prices soured

MP got wage increase

Poverty truly surged

Effects upon most vulnerable still getting worse

To brave Russian peacekeeper

 Only someone who finds the courage to be different from others can ultimately exist for 'others'.

Russian orthodox Christian theology confusing, it's stance showing support War criminals Putin Violence against innocent people shoud end.

The Russian orthodox Christian theology is confusing,but it's stance showing support of the oppressive nature of Putin Violence against innocent people should not just stop.

It should never been evident.

I understand today that some distance between the power and those who should shine the light.

Despite or rather as a consequence of speaking truth into this situation,can the followers of eastern branch of the Church reclaim credibility.

Vulnerable,poorest, women and children,old folk, all victims.

Poorest among the hardest effected by other aspects of this violent indiscriminate invasion.

Food prices rose, those already in a survival of pandamic,battles with more poverty.

Well again they're being hurt.

Death,destruction ,killing ,with no principal odjective.

War that had no winners.

Idealogy routed in belief that the past should be retrieved.

Idealogy routed in 'we are your masters.'

Further with some reading, idealogy that wants old power battles, 

boundaries established that no one still recognises as viable.

It sounds weak saying.. This will pass

It sounds like a coward words..may sound callous to others.

If you are caught up in War across own country, but this guy from northern town,faith based, Community and youth worker.

What do l know about the situation?

But my life ,at times feels not easy either.

 Feels  like struggle.

Today stress of life caused me to sit, cried a little.

This too will pass..here now it all have got for me, further all here and now,

I have got for you.

Stay in touch.

Stay closer. That's my 'me Prayer.'

Love is in need of Love again today.

Compassion, kindness, hope , shalom, community.

Grace, music, dance rhymes, reading materials. Vinyls. Each other, time together, less stress.

We come in groups,exploring community                      we argue , disagree, talk loud. don`t accept another view, fixated on our own thought.

we sneak around...move in cars..walk at times..barefoot on the beach.                       All of us must accept at times can be passionate about what we believe..feel..accept..reject.. agreements and disagreements. 

love is in need of love, love each other, like we did before.

Now l am here, you are there ,not very much has changed in me.

 But t can’t stand to be in the same room,or like now on another continent without you, despite,all the time that passed. 

l struggle with the fact..its been all these years. 

We do things like forget! Not sure even that's true.

 

Hope will return and dark days will disappear.

Cost of energy is increasing,
making other stuff difficult.
Level of increases, is a great concern
But as always Poorest struggling most.
simple ways of hurting vulnerable, in a divided society lack of concern for those weakest at the bottom.
 

Some interesting theology escapes into mainstream.

Not always possible deal with arc of  discussion 

but l try, had my construction around faith journey

informed by others sharing, listening often via

PODCASTS to debate, arguments.

Than followed up with more reading, However

not accepting of ZOOM as an alternative to face to face growth in Christianity.

Had my firsts pint of beer on this ferry Also traveled to fight in my first  Boxing show across the River, wide muddy. For a long time we never had a Humber Bridge.

This period is odd and the world seams strange,

but hope will return and dark days will disappear.

 

What belongs in your tapestry of Faith

 

We exercise Faith in others, in our relationship. In trust we place in others. When lend someone 'something special'!

Others breaking that trust or promise does not mean we should not trust but in Faith we start anew. We place trust again

Feelings are part of that narrative of Faith

Do you have a tapestry like this, had it experienced brokenness. Yet your Faith also experienced returning to beliefs.

Faith does not stay still, It transform into the people and relationships that enable growth.

Faith in God is part of that tapestry also.

So sad the song that celebrates War.

 

Ukraine claims to have blown up a whopping 285 tanks as they keep Putin's henchmen at bay while they try and capture major cities.

And one extraordinary clip painting a picture of Putins failures appears to show a Russian Su-25 fighter jet being destroyed as it soared over Kharkiv.

The plane transforms into a fireball as it plummets to the ground, much to the delight of Ukrainians watching below.

We keep having Wars, knowing War only brings grief,distress,death, and refugees.

Ed Sheeran has denied he "borrows" ideas from unknown songwriters without acknowledgement, the High Court has heard.

How was I to know? It's a crazy thing I showed you my hand And you still let me win And who was I to say That this was meant to be? The road that was broken Brought us together And I know you could fall for a thousand kings And hearts that would give you a diamond ring When I fold, you see the best in me The joker and the queen I was upside down From the outside in You came to the table And you went all in With a single word And a gentle touch You turned a moment Into forever

loved last week when we traveled in my car ,with me supplying the listening playlists, One Album was `Lego` by Ed Shearen, also listen to the Princess and the Joker..as often l could see the influences upon Ed Sheerans music..others journeying could not recognise that trend. But l am schooled in Music and older.Two key factors.

Ed Sheeran has denied he "borrows" ideas from unknown songwriters without acknowledgement, the High Court has heard.

He told the court: "As I hear a beat, I hear a song and melody comes out."

Cross - examining, Mr Sutcliffe argued: "The evidence is overwhelming that at the time of writing Shape of You, your songwriting process involved collecting ideas."

Mr Sheeran replied: "You say it's overwhelming, I don't agree with that."

He later said: "I write a lot of songs and if I haven't written a song within two hours, I see it as a failure."

We are sat in a peaceful harbour ,while Bully Putin wrecks other life's.

When l see a sheep l see a flock me and the farmer..

All need the attention of a good shepherd.

Not sure if this Traffic round about, is best place for safety of this flock.
 

We sat here recently..just sitting at Dock of the bay, harbour light's shining silhouette against watermark.

Sea looking green and transparent, Still this is a moment of beauty, also place.

Such places we find them, return, find them almost like we remember.

We have got our peace, feel like spring is coming to visit again.There are buds on trees which may been asleep.

Streams flood and rivers fall into the coastline. North sea is still chilly. peaceful warm feeling.

Cups of tea have been drunk. Cakes been eaten.

But others not getting any Peace

Someone bringing disharmony, death, war. Our struggles with health are insignificant.

Everyone is welcome to conform to the church’s image of what a Christian looks like.

 Christian egalitarians believe that the Bible mandates gender equality, which implies equal authority and responsibility for the family and the ability for women to exercise spiritual authority as clergy.

I accept

l understand

The early church grew in large part because believers, cared for the sick,

Provided for the poor

Also took in abandoned babies

Together this community embraced life together as a multi ethnic community.

LOT OF THIS DECONSTRUCTING THEOLOGY JUST BIT CONFUSING AND HARD TO ACCEPT.

Pretty WOKE followed by people who work ethic and community is detached.

lot of Echo chamber evident in social media feeds.

I AM AS THIS.

l am here and known as this.

As a person of faith,

committed  supporter of those on outside.

As person who finds community in being with others who gather together 

 

As person who does not bring fear 

nor do l bring disorder.

As a Dylan Vinyl player

music lyric searching.

As a Person who discovers spiritual value in meaningless places.

As a bloke who knows he is a bloke. 

 

As a lover of Malta,

Someone who values 

others..still miss someone!

Pushing a wheelchair therapy moments.

 I been doing some walking,pushing a wheelchair therapy.

Been thinking about how our society doesn't help nor enable the vulnerable

Been counting my blessings

Recognition of good fortune that accompanies us this day

Prayed

Wondered

Walked

Saw odd wildlife around park, swans divers,redshanks.

Listened had cups of tea.

Sat on harbour wall.watched..spoke..remembered the previous time came to sit in the park.

Nothingness of some walking,pushing a wheelchair therapy.

Precious moments of being simply thankful.

The world has called me away to here, at this moment to experience another's struggle.

One time we ,you and l,we were so full of energy.

We you and l, thought nothing of the hassle, of constant battles, 

economic struggle, all those meetings.

That was another reality..today precious moments of simply being sat on Harbour wall,watching northern diver fish. It's enough.

Love your neighbours still the best way

Sometimes we forget about creative genius of God,l use decks in the Churches

Gospel meanings, significant truth and spiritual message are found in music,film and television.

At this difficult time, finding meaning in peace protest poems linked to our search for meaning.

Russians ..song by Sting from 80's. Tell's us about hope that Russians Mother's love their children too..

Our prayers hopes beliefs , indeed emotional responses

can be expressed by lyrics,when searching for deep peaceful meanings.

But also angry at 'War makers', the masters of War.

Dylan wanted to watch them `be buried,then stand on their graves to be sure they are dead.`

We don't believe in a minimum war that's a lie we don't accept anymore.

(Sting` The Russians).

All we keep saying is give peace a chance. But we keep having Wars,

knowing War only brings grief,distress,death, and refugees.

But greatest way is follow teachings of man who encouraged us..

Love our neighbours.

Still best way, the Kingdom way.

 
 

rainbows and cotton candy sky,

 What would you want to achieve if called to

Give your life in sacrifice way.

Who would benefit from this sacrifice!
Cemetery full of people who did that for these moments.

 

Ruined Docks ,blocked roads, empty slums.Mud waste water,

smells,graffiti,kids playing, skateboarders staying in these outlaws land

Hull one letter from hell. Bitter cold wet chilly. 

Low-paid wages. Unskilled workers. Poor provided service's.Broken Authority.

The bird's sweetest song

comes from my Rainbow Valley.

They sing the whole year long

down in my Rainbow Valley.

The flowers speak to me,

an' say our love should be.

And heaven oh sweet music

flows from our valley

Putin is a low level Coward and big bully

Sorry sitting on the fence again when it comes to world affairs

Hear my prayer, O God; 
hide not yourself from my petition
I am alarmed at the voice of the enemy 
and at the clamour of the wicked
For they would bring down evil upon me 
& are set against me in fury
My heart is disquieted within me
& the terrors of death have fallen upon me

"Innumerable missiles and bombs have been raining down on an entirely innocent population. A vast invasion is underway by land by sea and by air."

Is it dangerous for `youth community workers`, to be creating ideas that can be seen to be against the normal ways of thinking.

Can l be  described as` dangerous`, if l wrestle out loudly with misunderstandings around Bible.

Why do Christian`s go to `War with others of the faith`. When we simply disagree about interpretation.

Putin is a bully and  a coward, but we of the Faith behave in lots of ways, that are threatening further quite abusive.

Sad that `white Russia ` as it known on maps, Is now putting others in Danger.

"Innumerable missiles and bombs have been raining down on an entirely innocent population. A vast invasion is underway by land by sea and by air."

PM Boris Jonson..“hideous and barbaric venture” of Russian President Vladimir Putin “must end in failure”.

No one can argue with this, lot of people not bothered at all but feels like we are having tribulation in so many areas of world affairs. Some Christian Zionists ..is there such a tribe, enjoy these moments but l am not convinced this is  great Biblical predicted happening.

Perhaps Revelations not as easy to accept as this tribe think, mainly because in so many areas they are impracticable.

new low for Hull City supporters..IMO

Recognise we have to lower our expectations when following Hull City.. BUT THAT LOW
