the Hell of politics



Some in the Church are making a huge mistake by giving the vile, wicked, faith hating, Jeremy Corbyn platform
Guy is a Vegan,does`n`t smoke and is popular
just like Adolf Hitler who the Church should have spoken against
Guy lacks substance ,is being courted by like's of Premier Christian Radio and S.Chalke esquire
if you tackle the issue find he ignores Syria, hates faith, 

loves Russians way of politics, and can only offer hatred towards those who don`t strike in unelected actions.

“There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind...”

life fast sometimes

The fair first set up stall in the city in 1278 AD – that's a impressive 738 years ago – meaning that people have been enjoying fun and games Hull Fair-style for more than seven centuries.
2016 is set to be another bumper year for the fair with 70 adult rides,250 kids rides and loads of stalls, all descending on Walton Street from 5pm on Friday, October 7, to Saturday, October 15, promising seven days of white-knuckle rides and traditional family fun


Hull Fair best in the world?


Mum is not so well but brothers and sisters keeping her OK and the Hospital, life feels short so how and wee bit weird
                                                 life much harder then the movies


 still miss the side shows with 7 legged sheep
alien in a jar
bearded lady
shortest man etc..
boxing booths £5 to go three rounds
fun was there then

wierd when uncomfortable

felt really weird this Saturday as the footie results came in Hull got hammered just that others are doing so much worse
but what really hurts is events in Syria and the awfulness of humans to inflict pain and suffering
recently l read Resistance by Angus Humbert
it appears to myself that we have not moved on from the awful events of the second world war and the inhumanity given by some to others
what's going to happen if we never learn from events
l will strive to be signicent in bringing about peace and offering goodwill
join me and perhaps we can make a difference
pray more
hold others accountable
strive to learn about Syria and all your efforts
pray again a bit more

a little rededeication needed by me

Pretty hard read the above, but if not feeling uncomfortable
 (perhaps not about others more about me).
The gospel further words of Jesus have been so misunderstood
some teaching not been bothered with, time to reread and rededicate.

cold wind harsh times ahead

There cold wind starting to blow on the hills this day its refreshing but uncomfortable may get more harsh just talking about the weather

all we are saying is give us some peace
there a rise in UK of far right groups
some unhappy stuff going on
in my life time violence and distrust has grown


read a great article about U2 at 40
few Christians groups have done so well in fact non have in my view


l will sing
sing a new song
how long to sing this song
how long now long
how long to sing this song
Psalm 40

Assessment of poverty on a small mediterrian Island

The at-risk-of-poverty rate has found to increase by 6-1% in last 4 years
 Increasing household work intensity 
 Indeed, those living in households with very low work intensity were at-risk-of-poverty 
The severe material deprivation rate.
 More than 40.0 per cent were living in households which claimed that not all the household members could afford to pay for a one-week annual holiday away from home.
 In addition, some 2% said that they could not afford to face unexpected financial expenses,
 while close to 14% per cent said that they could not afford to keep their home adequately warm in winter.
weak powerless vulnerable all increasing in membership terror
poverty lack of social mobility Emotional literacy Spiritual deprivation
SERIOUS ISSUES
now some lighter entertainment and Hull city returned to winning ways as they beat Stoke in a cup match
played all six 6 ,new signings
good 2-1 win great for City great for supporters
think at a guess

Community living..."Spiritofthestreets" . . One minute sermon

I  often say to people from my profession that "if we are to build community we need to understand what it means to be a bridge
including letting people walk over you"
Uncomfortable...... Disturbing .. Bloody hard..24/7/365....get it?
There is a price to pay.I ask people to reflect before they choose to live in a harsh environment. It not like a comic book ,you can close,Or a film you can switch off ,...life is much harder then that
Life it not something you can opt out of,here to be lived hard stuff
Life not like a movie ...  ..  ...  ...  ..  ..  .. ...Much harder then that

Last harvest is about finished



Such beautiful thing to look at simple
Field harvested
Reminds me that God is present in the world and we need to play a part
Bringing                 Peace               Good thoughts to others

Hearts
Minds
Hands

Hearts that are correct and focus
Minds that question
Wrestle with issues
Hands that pray
Hands that involved in action

Reading a book on resistance to Nazis in France during the second world war

moon and tide turning

Nights are getting colder
Autumn coulers are collecting
Beautiful world is turning
God is working

Left my phone at home

Gone out without my phone 
so those wanting to phone
Try me mid afternoon 
bit forgetful at my age
Well there are days like this


enjoyed simple stuff planting and growing greens in the garden

Mint went very well and has been used in odd meal
Cabbages both types never grew
where attacked and died
Courgettes been plentiful l had around 35 from two plants
 The yellow flowers have been beautiful

Tomatoes are still very green so put some in the car so to develop warmer and become red

well that the plan
Leaks Onions will be ready later this month
  prolong till October if l can 
Allowed only one courgette to become a Marrow

soundtracking my life coming soon


Going to start sound tracking some of the music that been important to myself

 If you know me at all

 Be aware that l have very wide interest in music from classical to soundtracks

 Soul and northern plus Tamla

 But lot of dance music from Dee jaying, being a (DJ).
First record l remember wanting to hear again
well that may be Acker Bilk and `So Lonely `beautiful clarinet sound kinda Jazzy and classical
from the film `Band of Thieves`

Sep 15, 2016

currently issues focused around

one of the sad facts about my favourite place in the world
Malta is they kill migrating birds
like the honey buzzerd and others it is a custom and culturally acceptable
something l really struggle with.

its going to get very wet after all the unseasonable weather we are expecting thunderstorms with places like my home town Hull
going to get a proper water fall
lets hope no flooding occurs
could be that summer is coming to an end

poverty ...a bit more

Fifty years ago, Ken Loach was the young director of Cathy Come Home, a BBC Play for Today, filmed in documentary style and watched by 12 million. Cathy, her lorry driver husband, and two children, live happily in a flat. He has an accident and loses his job, so they move to lodgings, a caravan, a hostel. Cathy becomes a single parent and her children become homeless. Social workers finally take the children into care. The public were moved and enraged.

this was repeated recently and l want to find the correct time to watch having recorded the programme from TV

World keeps on hurting
hurting those vulnerable
those experiencing hardship
those unable too..
benefit claimant so often the case for reprisals and scorn
Rejected and hurt . . powerless

The poverty l know and have witnessed, its conditional
By that l mean  goes with where you came from, The journey taken
 A role played, the situation finds oneself in, Circumstances around that,
Then illness visits, unemployment arrives.
You’re in the system and it grips person, that family, the locality.
Nothing to do with the persona and any failings they reflect

God bless you all this weekend

God bless you all this weekend

Few years since 9/11
Peace and concern for others never been more needed
Going to walk..pray... finish off bit of gardening... await footie results... Good look Hull City FC ....,
spend Sunday listening to Radio 4
at 8 in the morning as
Oasis do a memorial service for 9/11 victims

God bless you all this weekend





In these difficult days, our faith has lifted us up and sustained us. Our nation turned to God in prayer and in faith with a new intensity. This was evident on cell phones on hijacked airliners, on stairways in doomed towers, in cathedrals and parish churches, at ecumenical and interfaith services, in our homes and hearts. Our faith teaches us about good and evil, free will and responsibility. Jesus' life, teaching, death and resurrection show us the meaning of love and justice in a broken world

Excerpt from the Catechism of the Catholic Church

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"
