As we travel,journey,sojourner. Why must we allow our children to kill a person they do not like the look of? Is this what we have created.

 Two boys, one aged just 12, have been charged after a bus was seriously damaged and the driver assaulted during an attempted theft in Hull.

The bus was on Hall Road on Sunday when thieves attempted to steal the takings, Humberside Police said.

A 14-year-old was also charged alongside the younger boy. Both are due to appear at youth court.

The pair, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also face 10 further charges including burglary and theft.

Sgt Andy Waller said the incident on Hall Road was one of "wanton violence".

This the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated, right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky, looking down
What can he think of what we've done

Police have launched murder inguiry after the death of a 16-year-old girl who was found with multiple stab wounds. Police have named the girl found at C Park in Warrington on Saturday afternoon as Brianna .

Emergency services were called to the park  after the Brianna was found on a path. She had suffered 'multiple stab wounds', the force confirmed.

Is this the world we created?

What did we do it for?

Is this the world we invaded

Against the law?

So it seems in the end

Is this what we're all living for today?

The world that we created

There are rude thoroughfares, going along my journey in life

some kind of abandoned mines that brag my memory. 

but l never knew fears so evident around streets for the youth of today.

They gather and pile with ruin and vacancy. 

unsure what kind of morel delimas each young kid faces.

to kill another child in a park on a Saturday.

Is that what come of self living World created.

 it seems. 

At best, a wetland. Beautiful and useless in the face of flood.

floods of sorrow,grief,angst, God must look at us with tear stained face.

So that when we walk the perimeter as we travel,journey,sojourner.

why must we allow our children to kill each person they do not like the look of.

Is this what we have created.Is this the world we created?

We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated, right to the bone?

 As we travel,journey,sojourner. Why DO we allow our children to kill a person they do not like the look of?  Is this what we have created.

SATURDAY when in my local big town issues often reflected in protest groups gathering in street squares.

Chat Listen Reflect

Don't believe the devil

I don't believe his book

But the truth is not the same

Without the lies he made up

 . . . . .

 Don't believe in forced entry

Don't believe in rape

But every time she passes by

Wild thoughts escape

 . . .. .

 Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime --

But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight --

Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

When you're lovers in a dangerous time

"Deep thinker that l am, (Honest) reflecting on LIFE, issues,justice, Theology... probably just the lyrics to stupid song."

So quiet everywhere at present.

Roads ,travel, business, retail parks, coastal areas.

The economy along with social networks appear to be closing down.

      

Then this happened on the Harbour wall while l was Away, this just before traveled up seafront to view the minke Whales frolicking in still North sea waters.

It was a wonderful remark, a creators wonderful remark.

Sometimes l get it, others times standing alone, perhaps procrastinating. Or the deep thinker that l am, (Honest) reflecting on LIFE, issues,justice, Theology, most probably just the lyrics to a stupid song.

DAMN ILLNESS FOUGHT BACK....

Last night the illness fought back.

Damn it, l was doing well,

you know that bit of you lives `like it was yesterday`...walked till almost physical stopping,

rested early..ate healthy..like l do not drink.

If God was listening, grateful for creation on display , the sight of minke whales, turn-stones by my feet in the harbour.

Decent talks connecting,also being alone.

Break from outpouring of others concerns, rested.

Oxygen levels failed, pain was epic, 

Oxygen saturation is a crucial measure of how well my heart plus lungs are working. When we breathe in air, our lungs transmit oxygen into tiny blood vessels called capillaries. In turn, these capillaries send oxygen-rich blood to the heart, which then pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body. My levels often slip dangerously or fail.

Breathing became difficult. dryness and painful.

Hours of `this struggle`.

Management arrives, because you see been this way before. . .Accepting if this my hours, so much not listened too, many 'songs not sung'..books not read..

YOU lots about YOU still need to talk around.

So perhaps in Heaven some explanation ...

Questions that worried me... answers like to the following. . 

Why are Zebras stripped?

I'm just a drifter....l suppose

 Some journey's end with time alone, reflection, Recovery, writing,

cuppa cake falling asleep.

Many of our journeys, even to local big hills take us wee bit out of `comfort zone`.

In that trekking however easy, we often think,witness, and feel different.

I people observe, ...the child playing mum up with s temper tantrum..

..the 2 o clock hero, drunk acting hostile..

Old couple still clearly in love....

Romantic teens on bench snogging...

Old man not walking too well his mind playing tricks...

My reflection, ...Shocked...am l that scruffy, could l not worn something better..?

What if meet people who know myself?

So much beauty, nature, changing sights around.

Resting on a bench, wearily to rest nearby.

You see in my heart always had something 

of the Gypsies in my being!

Best journeys are not measured in miles

 Three buses today, long period of time, missed one connections. Late too the stop, abandoned route. Fresh approach big city to seaside town, finally `Spa town`, biggest on the north east coast.

Unable to keep the Sea on my right, as we covered every village In between major stops.

All journey tiresome, poor IT coverage,

traffic congestion.

That was challenges.

Missed driving along with independence , but hassle free.

Used my disability travel pass.

No worries over parking.

Not many people used this transport mode. Grateful for the beautiful image's.

Wildlife was visible.

Journeys we take not measured in miles,

But in conversation we enjoy

Friends we make,prayers we offer,reflecting,groups we form, stranger we befriend,people we encounter.

 Missed you today as walked along quiet beach, heard Marvin Gaye and Diane Ross singing

"...You, you, you are everything, and everything is You...."

Another tribe l gather amongst.

 As l am trying to return to the place where I most feel at home.

The issue of Maltese hunters killing birdlife again gets manys hackles raised.

Culture are at odds, claim to love nature yet commitment to destroy nature.

In UK we have places on teeside where shocking behaviour towards wildlife.

Can't change how others behave in nature, but can join trides who invest time in nature.

I gather with such like-minded people.

History is often immediately in your own journeys footsteps.

 

“I am going over. We are laying over. Help me. I am going over. Give my love and the crew's love to the wives and families.”

The last words of Phil Gay, Skipper of the Hull trawler Ross Cleveland. 4th February 1968

My father’s cousin went down with the Perridot.

I had never met him, strangely aged 9 I can clearly remember crying for him on my way home from school.

I still fill up, for him and the rest every time I hear, ‘for those in peril on the sea’.

Myself had similar experience, remembering hearing about Uncle Brain (Waller) he was lost at sea.

took me brother drain fishing, still l see us three walking with rods in hand. Never forgotten the bags of sweets he gave, telling us to hide them in our room, "Don`t let your dad see them."

Also In the news this week

The Corinthia Group has embarked on a 'sustainability drive', which will see photovoltaic installations erected across all the roofs of Corinthia properties in Malta.

Malta is an archipelago in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast. It's a nation known for historic sites related to a succession of rulers including the Romans, Moors, Knights of Saint John, French and British. It has numerous fortresses, megalithic temples and the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, a subterranean complex of halls and burial chambers dating to circa 4000 B.C

Having waited more than one hundred days for a home win, Hull City head into Saturday's visit of Cardiff City with the chance to make it back-to-back wins in front of their own supporters.

A Conservative Peer has called on the Government to better protect children from online pornography, as the Online Safety Bill is debated in the House of Lords. 

Trans guidance for schools must prioritise the protection of children from the harms of radical gender ideology, a Christian MP has said.

 You can't smell the product, nor can you open the gatefold sleeve,it simply not possible to read Lyrics of a download.

Vinyl it's a sharing process.

CDS close second.

Download just cheap commercial exploitation.

MORE U2 DEBT REPAYMENT..

 l bought U2 Actung baby on vinyl, the cover was bright,coulerful and odd.

the sound was different to last few Albums.

sonic was loud brash more guitar led.

taken a while still for me the softer tracks.
 

trying to put your arms around the world..

         whose gonna ride your wild horses . . .

But the best is the lasting memory of small group of us sat in my lounge having snacks, listening,laughing, casual drink ...Thats not my normal image of a U2 or any other collection of music but like with Rattle and hum ..its the image of tribalism gathering, further enjoyment.

“From the crisis of today the Church of tomorrow will emerge — a Church that has lost much. She will become small and will have to start afresh more or less from the beginning. She will no longer be able to inhabit many of the edifices she built in prosperity. As the number of her adherents diminishes, so it will lose many of her social privileges.”

Me just personal, like the sound of this more skeleton Church.

debt l owe to U2 . . .

Slow.

I so very much enjoyed 'Winter-watch',
Made sure Packham and Mrs Strachan
                                                     Are aware.

Odd being in Hull town, dealing with educationally stunted. Local Authority appears to be hard stretched, struggling with poor recruitment,poor training, low wages.Not attracting high caliber of recruits. But as they creating more work for clients/tenant through administration paperwork, it's circle may move keep operating around at low speed.

Nature turns daily, the circle of Life turns, despite it being slow. 8 months trying get a home,not mine (disability accessible), proving ' bridge to far.

Very time consuming, own time is limited.

As is my patience.

 

Sign of 2023

 Just a bit too chilly, streets full of people as Sun came out.

But witnessed some low level hostile behaviour. Used skill's turned this into encounter that was better.

Unsure why unkindness is often first  image some project.

Violence is also the langues person uses, those around hear indelicate words,loudness, hallow laughter, discussion around what they claim did to others.

Violence is horrid way another in large voice, telling all who hear of his exploits.

Not a direct unkindness but echo of a state of play.

Think hurting internal, plus there maybe problem in home.

Poverty means also people, despicably often young,` forced` outdoors. Lacking provision and role models.

Seen same young kids, around street's most of this weekend.

NO COMMENT ....

 After the `George Floyd murder` nearly three years ago, l suppose many dared to hope that policing in America, (like other parts of western world ) would change. This weekend, another American city is baffled and shocked at appalling police conduct caught on camera.

This time it was not passers-by who filmed the scene.

Unfathomable brutality.

Five Memphis police officers - themselves all black - now face murder, assault and kidnapping charges.

Heart breaking...

Mr Nichols' father described his stepson as "a good kid" who was the baby of the family - he had two older brothers and one older sister.   He said the family would do everything they could to seek justice, but said anyone holding protests in Mr Nichols' name should do so peacefully, and should not carry out damage or looting.

Encounters required

When you try make sense of the present. Try create better connections , enjoy varied discussion, drink cups of tea, feast on marmalade toast.

Need to give you others, more of your listening active self.

Further we all should `journey together`, 

Whatever brings you here. Welcome.

Nature is captured, recorded,studied on BBC Winter watch. Oh how beautiful inspiring rewarding and filling our spirits.

Locality of North Yorkshire someone's shared these images.

WOW Hope you feel something from nature, each other and LIFE around you.

Pictures taken in the harbour up North Yorkshire coast close to Scarborough.

Area visit often plus blogged about tonne of times on these pages.

How do l capture that mood,that feeling,that emotion.

Someone stated this simple fact.

“there is a place for all art, including ugly art”

pretty encouraging really.

A man , perhaps like myself chose that he like his ashes scattered from the end of the cliffs.

Cliffs he had walked along often in LIFE.

 where he used to know a cafe ,where with family plus his mates, enjoy a cuppa. They’d sit on wooden outside benches, chatting, recovering from walk. Sometimes wind blew hard,cold perhaps too often.

 Never liked seagulls that stood on the railing, all puffed up with screamingly own importance, he knew they were the bullies of Ornithological world. The Puffins made up for this disturbance by simply being cute,coulerful and local.

Returning to this medium after short period exploring making `nonsense of God`.

What couler am l ?

Does that couler change daily?

Is it a reflection of the mood l am in?

How do l capture that mood,that feeling,that emotion.

Bad theology often rooted in poor mental health issues!

Very many of these Bad theology's speakers proven to hold low self esteem.

Poor relationships experienced trauma. Not good communicators.

Therefore hiding behind Bad theology becomes normal way of being.

Bad theology damages families, communities and the image of loving God.

God's love is bigger, wider further has more meaning then we can grasp.

That is Correct theology.

Everybody burns review of Channel 4 comedy

Beyond the crazy, funny, accurate processing of presented `Bad theology` vain, that script writers unearthed.

There is a deep sadness.

Such a world exists of Bad damaged believer's. Oppose every individual who does not accept their view,create hurt among own family, spreading pesticide of dislike, while confident own brand of sacrifice is acceptable to a God they get confused around.

Bad theology although funny, it brings Love of God into disrepute.

There are No winners with Bad theology.

A conversation about being disassociated from fellowship.

Something counseling another about in the Past was touched upon in last nights programme.

Crazy but it happens, brings tears heartaches and pain.

Bad theology damages others. 

Everyone Else Burns.....oh yeah we will never pray for them Palestine Christians.

 Everyone Else Burns, is a subversive, authentic and bitingly funny exploration into what it feels like to balance faith, family and identity in a world that could end tomorrow (but probably won't).

"in fact they wont all burn...Gods love is deeper, wider, more knowing than we imagine...The early Church only believed in three theological stances around end times..Every bodies burns was not one, Although everybody burns (unsure how long for), if you were committed to Rome city style of living.

IN THE THEN ,HERE AND NOW.

Most early Christians where aware of universalised end times, God redeems all creating a new kingdom, bringing his `WAY OF BEING` into the next stage of life.

RPpayne legal info.....

Tonight on channel 4. 21-00

Everybody else burns

If you thought that this is comedy 

You`ve never visited the East Riding ,Where Zionist Church which houses the HATE preacher of Toll Gavel.

It actually exists, so removed from `following Jesus` impossible to believe.

Everybody else Burns 22-00 Ch 4

l am along with others expecting not just a good laugh, but several embarrassing moments as point to, further recognise some who really have got the love of God wrong.

Know a few who are hording,(tins of food,weapons,resources ), living along end times theology.

Oh yeah . . .`we will never pray for them`... Palestine Christians.

Save that for another day. ENJOY AND DON`T FORGET TO LAUGH.

Spoke to my friend again today he said..

were going up in smoke and we ain`t got a hope.

Forty days, forty nights

It rained all over the world to be exact

Sinners played, disobeyed

The word coming' down, that's a fact

Some people took it for a joke

Just can't understand

They nailed our Savior to the cross

But He told them all He would rise again, rise again

I talked to my friend again today

This is what he had to say, he said

We're goin' up in smoke, goin' up in smoke

And we ain't got no hope, we're goin' up in smoke

Goin' up in smoke, goin' up in smoke

And we ain't got no hope 'cause we're goin' up in smoke

Saturday in Rural North with @spiritofthestreets58

 

Thrill of a climb.

Greyness and mist lifted

Jam sandwiches tasted fine.

Cup of tea was welcome,

Bus home was crowded.

Windows all misted over

Kids lot of 'em on iPad's

Older folk had shopping

Quarter cows tongue, some Hazlitt,coloured cheddar. Slice ham Quiche.

Got off Bus near home,bought TV mag.

Had Spent early morning sending MP email update. Plus council issue.

Saturday's the new Wednesday.

Back home, Motown moment.

Gladys Knight is singing on old 45

as the needle hits the track!

"..hard for us to think ..were not gonna make it... And it`s gotten to the place where we can't fake it..."

Safe place,deep breath, return.

This Town has beautiful sunsets.

But day hiding Chill factor

Neglect to show fully poverty nor the rottenness behaviour.

The locality has wild  Deer's, also nature that is awesome

In nature there is this harshness , more ever more beauty then we fully understand.

This place is my home. My refuge even at times, an escape.

Do you have a place that holds beauty?

Do you have a refugee.?

We all sometimes need an escape.

Grasp a deep breath, then return.

TOR IME

Moreover I need haircut.

Face looks jowly

as well.

Next on my to-do.
