its life kev and we have to experience it!

 Two contrasting images, which also reflecting something about how l am feeling
one is a search lite at Flamborough 
In a rural setting doing what is has to do..nothing very special just getting on with the day to day experience ...that us this is me at present..trying to be a light in a specific setting on a daily business.

Their an event in the life of Malta at present that uncomfortable...3rd Car bomd this year killing a journalist that also something we experience...

sadness and protest ,being upset...
sharing another`s grief..along with the unexplained.

A week and a day after the killing of Daphne Caruana Galizia, we are no nearer a solution as to who killed the journalist.  We are floundering. The enormity of the murder defies interpretation

All in the rich tapestry that we live called life and its drama not always welcome but still arrive for us to handle

Our hope for the future

The door slammed loud and rose up
 a cloud of dust on us
Footsteps follow, down through
 the hollow sound, torn up

With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made

Sometimes you just want things how they were...

a return to what was..the good ole days..

But reality is that not ever going to be...

l struggle with Desert island disc..how do you narrow music to one sample..
oh and then one track to rescue from the waves..not possible.

Must be simple in lots of ways as my methods professionally stayed same.

its meshed up world

Gods unconditional love is not dismissed by the condition your condition is in

Yesterday 90,347 Redwing counted at 24 east coast sites between Shetland and Yorkshire. Impressive going.
Mind you l only counted 90,343 also getting some Small tits and other birds in our now depressed garden....out for a cuppa with friends...life it all this emotional,leisurely,..deep spiritual and physically stuff messhed together

 2017 British University Free Speech Rankings, published by spiked-online.com, depressingly show that every one of the 24 leading research universities in the Russell Group is either actively censoring ideas on campus or chilling free speech through intervention. Inevitably, Christians are among the silenced: last month, the junior common room at Balliol College, Oxford, banned the Christian Union from its freshers’ fair, citing the possible “harm” their presence could do to newly arrived undergraduates.

not sure about this little fellow
but he got a great creator

To pro-life students, who are disproportionately likely to be Christian believers, this will have a familiar ring. “It would make me feel threatened in my own university,” complained the Oxford student who led the 2014 campaign

I consider Your heavens

Heaven is a real place where the people of God will live one day. In fact, heaven is where God and the angels live. John 14:1-3 even says that Jesus is in heaven preparing a place for us to live. In heaven, those saved by God will have new bodies without the curse of sin! There will be no one who is blind, deaf or lame in heaven (Isaiah 35:5-6 and Philippians 3:21). Although Jesus builds houses in heaven, the Bible also says that those saved will also build their own houses and inhabit them as well as plant and eat from vineyards (Isaiah 65:21). Most importantly God will be in heaven and He wants to be your friend. He wants to dwell with you and wipe away all your tears (Revelation 21:1-4).

We only get a thumb nail sketch of Heaven from the bible, due to events not just at present, but witnessed several times when young life ended.

Concern about life ending

their is expected often tears,

deep sadness,

pain even for many . . that hard to write , without full sorrow, but we know it's true.

Personally do not think people prepare for death, but further add that very few appear to think about big stuff .

deep stuff .  .  .

what next stuff ...

"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place…" (Psalm 8:3).
 . . . .Heavens that says many not one . . .

We Listen in way`s that are not so deep,
because digital music means do not listen so intently.

That also reflected in the way we listen to each other...shared this with a small group recently.
Half group never had a CD, of music , in their hands.
Don`t get me started on Vinyl.

trying to read again....this is five books unfinished..sad

Johnathan Livingston Seagull (JLS), is what l am trying to read at present
 the story of a seagull,(yes a seagull) who is no ordinary bird.
It may be related to my Son Mattys hobbies/interest in wildlife and especially Orthanolgy.
Unlike the others in his flock, he wants to learn and experiment even more with flying and isn't happy to accept their mundane lifestyle.

He wants to perfect the art of flying until he's the best he can be. However, in the process of seeking his higher purpose, JLS is cast out from the flock and left alone.
This eventually leads on to some of the greatest lessons he's experienced and through his work and practice he learns to love even those that outcast him and see the good in every one of them.

Apart from an uplifting and encouraging story, this book has a host of underlying moral and spiritual messages for readers to take away and apply to life.

It deals with opening your eyes and seeing beyond the day-to-day activities,
 of having the courage to stand by your beliefs and begin to understand who and what you really are,
and the art of learning to forgive and love unconditionally.
 This is a real classic, a book to read, keep and treasure,
 To re-read when you need a reminder about the important lessons in life.
 
It's a book that could help you break free?
life can be constraining you should always try to follow your dreams,

your Dreams like main may have to be redreamed.  
its pretty 70`s and there is a soundtrack by Richard Harris, which l am currently sourcing, well trying.....

our mum Rita passed away on Saturday evening at 20.10

mum was skillful
as a cook,counsellor,
supporter of ill father
who had dementia,politician
involved in daily
family dramas
but more then that
She was a much
loved mum

Our mum Rita passed away on Saturday evening at 20.10 just few hours before her birthday she would have been 80.
l had strange sensation that some one asked me about my home around 19.00 that evening. l kinda spoke to that presence...those kind of sensations feel strange to hear.
when the call came (l was like most in our family expecting her time had arrived). Mum had been ill for a while.She was surrounded by her family and loved ones.she had visits all week, The last words that heard Mum speak where after `short worship` act she sat with a cup of tea, before saying these words.....what a lovely day....

Me with Mum when l was commissioned
this was at the bun fight later

Heaven

The postcard had an image beautiful beach with blue ocean

On the back where these few words . . . .

There some folk who know you they say hello

 Wish you were here, wish you could see this place

Wish you were near,

 I wish I could touch your face

The weather's nice, it's paradise

WORLD GOING ONE WAY LITTLE OLE ME GOING ANOTHER v43

Neocolonialism, neo-colonialism or neo-imperialism is the practice of using capitalism, globalization and cultural imperialism to influence a developing country in lieu of direct military control (imperialism) or indirect political control (hegemony)

 Oxford University college banned members of the Christian Union (CU) from its freshers’ fair, claiming that Christianity is used as an “excuse for homophobia and certain forms of neocolonialism”.

One of the organisers of last week’s fair at Balliol College, Freddy Potts, claimed that the presence of CU members would be “alienating” for students and constitutes “microaggression”.

The move led to a backlash from Balliol students who called it a “violation of free speech” and “religious freedom”.

                                         So here a few more words l can add to my deconstructing as my faith journey progresses. Along with all the other oppressive title`s, applied to people of my faith we can add Neocolonialism.“microaggression”.

                              WORLD GOING ONE WAY LITTLE OLE ME GOING ANOTHER

Wish you were near

Bought a postcard, on the front it just said 
Heaven

With a picture of the ocean and the beach

And the simple words 

he wrote her

Said he loved her and they told 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,

 I 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"

Enemies?             Love them.
Violence?         Renounce it.
Money?       Share it.
Foreigners?     Welcome them.
Sinners?           Forgive them.

LIVE YOUR LIFE

It has been (and remains), very challenging period for all my brothers, sisters along with me.
Was embarrassed as teenager growing up around few things. Stuff that feels unimportant now, like being eldest of a large family. Further coming from council estate. Then it's town of Hull. Poverty was evident not something we identified with nor did we or others understand the issue.
Life had to be lived, experienced not analyzed closely.  Be it among family, community, Church, or the City, were we lived.
Growing older realized how blessed l was, belonging to these groups, large family. Spoken often about the Church grew up among and the important faith journey that took place there also.
But do not think spoke too much about our family. Mother and father remained together until Dads passing few years ago he became ill with dementia, however the care Mum gave out was lesson for any who observed the care ,attention, and love displayed.
She like many mums , encouraged us in understanding correct behavior, it was done quietly and informally.

Today like many these past few weeks she is ill, surrounded by loving family, nurse, the bodies she inhabits is damaged and cannot be repaired. But mum ,Rita, still jokes away the pain. In Hull, with her son and my brother Graham.

The Peace of God, which passes all understanding is required now, the understanding about these words are needed now. some

Some of you reading this will know about lose, you know about endings.

Life is hard, we do not know everything, do we make mistakes in our family, faith, friendships and City life ? But live the LIFE among all the struggles we face. Live your life.

Perhaps Kevin W,the only religious book on Christianity others will read, really sorry Kevin may not be good enough . . .

 


Hard to accept that this is a heron on the beach getting an eel, it was helped by the crow standing near by and then both enjoyed the meal. Someone went out to capture this image ...so we can enjoy

This faith of mine has been with me since before made some commitment to follow Jesus, wrestle with some stuff around justice, the treatment of others wrestle with own Monterey position about value hold so close.
Peace has been what wish for others, do not fear death but wish peace for others not sure how will be ending this life.
Just have this faith that what  believe is what experienced, tried to follow the Lords teachings.
Perhaps it the only book about Christianity others will read, really sorry if that true, as am the best l can be, however may not be good enough . . .

We listen differently to music on vinyl

We listen differently to music on vinyl the crispness of the sound was produced with more emphasis on quality

 As we listen differently when digital, which is produced more of a fast track method which does not capture the organics, technically we are discovering that the old ways was better

we listen now on I pods mobile equipment and smaller devices hence the quality of Vinyl on a system with larger speakers amplifiers and other stuff creates different experience.

Sometime we do not notice

also we get used to sounds being more personal and smaller

As humans that true how we listen to each other,

 It an area we need to improve upon. We do not listen very well at all to each other.

We listen differently to music on vinyl As we listen differently when digital
People how we listen each other has changed need to improve

Been tough in area of family and relationships this last few days,

One member of my family is gravely ill, visiting them is pretty difficult.

Another has got illness due to drug misuse. Also in some denial about the problem. 

Conversations have been difficult 

LIFE IS HARD
