uncomfortable place










Up on the cliffs, near us are some caves they are not deep, but can get a few young people in them.
They are exciting places to do activities around, make for fun times.
Somewhere we often go with our group










In youth work ,like most other areas we can find a place called 'comfortable'.












Stay there, and don`t want to confront the areas we don`t know much about.
Experiences like this simple one allow us to confront,
imagine, discover, the uncomfortable.
This can be challenging but the uncomfortable, is a place we all have to visit.
Actually, that's not true its,' best we explore and visit the uncomfortable',
but some, go thru lives avoiding this.

hang the Kevins

But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE




Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE

election


apparently there is an election
l run to a different clock
so it has not kept time with me
so the political party's do not encroach onto my scene
not clever
not wise
just the way it is.

hang the DJ





really nice time in the club last evening,
hard work using someone else playlist
however hope these images show how uplifting music can be.







wow there was one lady phew for me, ideal.
those wild thoughts escaping.

sunday and church



I'd never been to church before, I'd never wanted to; But came a Sunday when I found that I had, nowt to do. I wandered round the town a bit, but, boy, our town is dead, I thought I would have been much better back at home, in bed; But stopped outside St. Peter's church - it really looked a ruin; "It can't do much for folks!" I thought, cause I couldn't see any queuin' I wondered what went on inside, decided that I'd see; I came, I saw, I conquered all my curiosity. It fair gave me the bloomin' creeps before I reached the door, 'Cause I had to walk on gravestones that they'd used to make the floor. Inside I saw these moth-chewed banners drooping near a tomb, But not much else until I grew accustomed to the gloom. I found my way quite easily to where I had to sit, Then lost my way in't prayer book, couldn't make much sense of it. I listened to the others praying, and thought it very odd, That someone had to write a script before they talked to God.

NOT ONE


For every face showed stunned surprise --
Not one expected me!


WHO WILL WE BE CHATTING TO IN HEAVEN

Apr 30, 2010

a touch a kiss is always called beautiful
its a bank holiday so expect the bands to be out marching and the weather to be pouring.



the guy in front looks so stereotypical
yet also so proud
l may say every right to be.

l am fretting
going from pillar to post
unsure of the next stage in my life
yet wanting one thing
to hear the voice of a dear friend who off the rader.


there are some people you never forget

Some people....


People are not like objects you just put in a box when you finished with them.
They require feeding, naturing, holding, loving,
Unlike plants can react to expressions,
and present challenges that can blind side you.
OPEN
HONEST
HURTING
FEELINGS
WORDS

friday thank God

Friday nite what on the telly and whats for tea.
been trying to find a tool to do a certain job but no luck
hee hee hee
me doing jobs around the house
not my strongest skill


wow what a dump (joke)



sometimes the beauty of the day is before your eyes
some challenges await myself
but l need to focus
l wrestle with some stuff and issue get confused
unanswered prayers take focus and affect my attitude
but not my faith
scene from nature gives me the glimpses l need to know that God is in control

no one expected . . . . .



I dreamt death came the other night
And Heaven’s gate swung wide.
An angel with a halo bright
Ushered me inside.
And there! To my astonishment
Stood folks I’d judged and labeled
As “quite unfit”, “of little worth”,
And “spiritually disabled”.

Indignant words rose to my lips
But never were set free,
For every face showed stunned surprise --
Not one expected me!

4ever young

Forever young,
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever
Forever young I wanna be
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, forever



l think there a law about going shopping in your pyjamas
here proof of a few lawbreakers who got themselves
attached to our group.



so further proof if needed of the menu chosen by
cooked by
and consumed by
our young people
noodles with white sauce and chicken
salad
fresh bread
cheese and yogurts
healthy?

fellowship l think thats what we call it?

l have been so surpised with this youth group how grown up they are in some ways
espically sharing fellowship thru both discussion and food.
they get a lot of happyness setting the table and cooking together
the sharing around food and self discovery is very open and honest.
an attitude that effects other areas of the work.

robin hood and me

well feeling cold after a mega warm week end in sunny Robin Hoods Bay.

my little plastic boy melting in the hot sun day and night


Well l am back
tanned,
relaxed,
fitter,
healthier.
Did anyone miss me?

Did anyone notice l`d been gone?
Thanks.
Missed you all loads

Missed my forever angel lots, real lots.

Looking at others should not take place till l have had long hard look at self.

Waymaker, miracle worker Promise keeper, light in the darkness My God, that is who You are You are  Waymaker, miracle worker Promise keeper,...

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"
