Feeling sad, confused disturded..


 Don't get confused there set two issues playing at present.

Hatred towards others (SIC), Israel people experiencing terror from Hamas.

The other issue.

The oppressor's terror, mistreatment and lack of humanity towards neighbourhood.

Gazza strip, Ledanese , Syria, Jordan, Beirut...plus.

This BBC reporter from Gaza is telling the *truth*. Israeli forces warn civilians to vacate areas they are about to hit, to save innocent lives. That is the difference between democratic Israel and the butchery of Hamas. All people of conscience know instinctively which is right.

But where can People trapped retreat too? Where can they flee. Terror brought by each group shows constant lack of justice, lack of mercy. Power is in the currency of Terror each plays.

First century Judisum

Been painful today listening too News.
Observing way many come out in total support, of neighbourhood bully. Secular state of Israel.
They were attacked yesterday.
But it's been arriving, they are not innocent party. Own harsh cruel, unnecessary treatment of locals in surrounding areas.
Caught up to them!
Does not excuse evil. But ''play in dirt get dirty."
Worse response been from leaders who throwing themselves into -'we Always stand by Israelites.-'
First century covenant understanding. Not love your enemies bring about justice show mercy, 1st Century Christianity.
You see faith means siding with outsiders.7 Decades of oppression brought about awfulness witnessed these last two days.
There is no easy understanding. But peace in middle East can only come about when we follow Kingdom teachings.
Begins with way we look after those in oppressed situations.

They will never, never be any peace

Until God is seated at the judgement table.

As Palestine begins fight back against oppressive secular state…

Peace cannot be maintained when people are oppressed cannot get daily tasks like work completed.
Peace cannot be guaranteed when living in squalid overcrowding.
Peace cannot be bought with difficulty’s settling family. 
50 plus years of oppressive behaviour, harsh treatment, countless deaths, cruelty .
Peace has to come for all, More especially the forgotten.
Our Peace has to be extended to those suffering and Our Peace must be there’s as promptly as we receive ours.
Otherwise it’s not Peace

Great Kevin's think alike

 “I’m not as keen, I’ve got to be honest, and it may not be a view shared. I don’t like to listen to ladies talking about the England men’s team at the match because I don’t think it’s the same experience"

ITS THE WEEKEND SO LETS GET READY FOR THE WEE BIT OF SOCCER WORTH WATCHING, for Kevin W plus Kevin Keegan its without Women including Pundits. Playing, Commentating, or pretending to be Expert.

"I don’t think it’s quite the same. I don’t think it crosses over that much.” 

l am forced to ask. is it possible for a woman speak about the power, speed, ability, strength, required to compete in different game. Surly the male elite football game. Is a match ,those that compete, not same level as the women's league.

its become so biased that often in documentary’s, commentators, actual matches shown on TV, Only get more females then the male in the areas outlined.. Can Women understand different requirements at what is fundamentally better, higher, level.

Chosen not to view anymore certain programmes which gave me enjoyment..its not been too difficult. I don't count much so not going to be affecting that world.

Good to recognise that not only one.

l `don't count much`..welcome to a club that allows me to be a member...

Fact… there are two human sexes (no third gamete & humans still require only one of each, just like other mammals, to reproduce) but of course there are endless wonderful different personalities that don’t conform to todays version of femininity or masculinity

You remain precious.

Maybe l just 

Need to be having less time with older people.

Miss being with young.

That energy excitement appreciation of moments, joy of being in now

Heard it said, plus wrote it here.."We glorified the past, when the future Dead ahead"..

Takes another reading.

Those good old days, well weren't so great, these days challenge. But good things a plenty.

Climb is always difficult, steps one at time always required. The `narrow path` is often still, The one least taken.

You remain precious.

How you doing.... Again asking!

How might your encounters with another person affect your well being?

How does being in conversation with others affect how you feel about Yourself?

In the gatherings your attending, are such gatherings good for your Heart?

Does the answers you are giving, affect your emotional intelligence, does it improve.


If there is argument, discourses, disagreements. Are they bad for you or part of  development.

FANCY connecting sharing your answers!

We reimagine, we develop, we discover better or differently.

YOU CAN DECONSTRUCT and still love and follow Jesus.

YOU CAN DECONSTRUCT and still trust and believe the Bible contains truth.

YOU CAN DECONSTRUCT and still follow the creeds.

YOU CAN DECONSTRUCT and still have a thriving faith.

So joined this debate as Deconstruction in my Pastoral view, an issue keeps raising its head.

There are podcast even books.There are places to go with others who have Deconstructed.

Don't sound happyest places images very White,middle class eletist ,very  unsure if The persons gathering are people be too 'inspired'by either.

Kevin Waller, Youth Pastor  added these comments....

Don't we all deconstruct in many ways, music, humour, friendships, relationships, commitment to some issues.

We reimagine, we develop, we discover better or differently.

Its a journey.

Feel some who leave the Faith claiming `Deconstruction ',as the reason.

Unsure if get the nature, purpose of faith.







I believe always had the walking with God bit in my Life.

Always even in darkest moments, although few, Always tried talk with Jesus.

Believe found something among community of others, following Kingdom principles that maintain our Faith.

Humble and simple, always want to listen and remained interested in those outside of  my gathering.

Indeed that's remains my vocation

Person centered approaches, at active listening level. Don't yield result's.

It's end of summer season
Spring tides (Lowest of time of Year)
Different, ending but new birth period in nature.


Tides lowest for the season. Interesting views, rocks, pond life.
Plus people, sharing getting wet, sand covered, wee bit chilly.
But warmth of good Human interaction shields each of us from slight discomforts.
Old Lady walks across promenade with her new pooch. LIFE better for her,
further she is out interacts with us all again.
Got bounce in her 'well being', from caring for another. It's a pet, but serves purpose of having reason to encounter others.
When l got bus last week, she waved .smiled as passed her when travel departed. But others in our locality, that work among, don't share a love of nature, dislike this time of year. Connecting don't express any given reason.
But they live often like this, after decades of life. Stick two fingers up when pass own neighbour. Hurl loud abuse. Complain, about environment but won't join the discussion group applying for funding.
Funding to improve the area, bring others together.
At Local school decades ago they were lead problem group. Some been in prison, all on benefit, meet same venue, share success at spinning wheels.(Gambling ).Begun to admit to me in 'walking therapy...`they have depression`.
Fraudulent activity part of the journey still make. Reluctant to explore deeper stuff.







"Person centered approaches, at active listening level. Don't yield result's".

My work here appears fruitless. But academically proved point.
People scared ,very reluctant, nor comfortable to engage.
Much less belong, Remain Level 1, that's non-disclosure Platform.

Some days l just feel the need to say stuff like this…todays it’s Prayer.


 We all pray

We all should talk with GOD.

We should all take time to reflect.

Dance like no one’s watching.

Wear whatever keeps you warm especially now it’s getting colder.

If don’t know what to say in Prayer the opposite image may help.

But whatever is on your heart is acceptable whoever is on your heart.

Wherever you are presently is acceptable.

However you value GOD is OK.


The great theologians are just people who practiced the presence of Praying. The most troubled individual will have in mind along with Hearts, desire to murmur the inner words.

That person humbly struggling to face the day, will know as the spirit aches he can communicate.

There are only those who are outcast on this journey.

The comfortable are doing the GOD business. Angels are communicating, longing, aching to intercede.

Open your hearts, free your mind. Pray aloud.Pray quietly. Pray in silence’s.

But have a talk with Jesus when your ready.

Northern guys ramblings, thoughts that escape!

 These are my stats of people viewing, this Northern guys ramblings and thoughts that escape a wild head.
often unmuted.19 410 5590 This month

 
Again not saying anything to informative just a humble `muthafrecker` from North east coast.


The leopard comes every night to meet the cow and the cow licks its head.

The man spoke with the previous owner of the cow and found out that the leopard's mother had died when it was only twenty days old and since then the cow had fed the leopard with her milk. Therefore, the leopard thinks that the cow is her mother and comes every night to see her.

Boy what would write on belonging to Tribal gathering .


Trying to find a faithful place to grow
Somewhere good further with Biblical root's.
Commitment to community.
Desire to have encounters with outsiders.
Not big favourite of modern soulless worship songs. Discussions conversation.
Yes getting my juices flowing.
Strong emphasis on delegation of tasks.
Open door leadership, Empowerment to the least in relation to top roles.
Participation methods then allow many gathering are blessed.
Loads meals times, tones of sharing.
Boy, could write on belonging to a Tribal gathering like this for weeks.
Got to be some sort of ,`Jesus people` meeting like this someplace.

Whatever you call it, enjoy some solidarity further reflection.

They have given us facts a storm is on the way.

The Seagulls know it, waves are aware. Battered down. But more efforts required in West of UK.

Been in country side  this day after taking car to garage.
Enjoyed the space to reflect. Not be influenced by TV voices, radio interviews , others comments.
Faith of others still evident in most rural areas.Church been serving community in last few hundred years.
Now placed there for once month gatherings.Perhaps when culture wars are over. It's previous value may be once again required.



Shriek of a kestrel, followed by its downward spiral to its unfortunate catch below, brought me back to the end of 30 minute space away.

Bus journey back to town, begin days chores. They have a name for this these days... Mindfulness...


My tride we practiced this all time call it prayer and praise.

Whatever you call it, enjoy some solidarity further reflection.

Detours and hazzerd make day long.


The weak but beautiful Autumn sun shone brightly, feeling blessed if somehow challenged.

Journey home brought long detours,further covaluted hazerds.
Darkness catches me out ,now late nights arrived.
Back to hospital visits tomorrow.

l was on wrong road.

 


THERE LOT OF TALK IN MY TRIBAL WONDERINGS ABOUT, CULTERAL RELEVENACE.

I can recall the conversation with Stevie B, not long before he died in the spring of 77...since you became a follower of religion, you forgot about all of us.

that made me change the direction of my LIFE. I was not encountering issues, not in relationship with those should have been.
Nor was l engaging in relevant ways.
Its pretty odd that l was becoming pretty self centered and very Religious, prayer meetings, Church official decisions, outcast from my own choice, not involved with others away from directly those l had fellowship among.
It took a pleasant exchange with young friend (l was only 18), to put me on right road. But l was on wrong road, God corrected me. Didn't know how incorrect l was. Some of these words are heavy words. 

Relationships..encounters..issues..relevance..Communication. All big words.

haven't learned from the past. That's a painful confession.

It wasn't better not worse but in my view.
Simply different that's all the difference we could measure.
Season's still change, money still spent, family's still vital, community still developing. 
Lord still rose again from crucifixion.
Poor still poorer further Rich still got richer.
Don't like expressions like .."Kidz today" etc..
Would you `over 40s` swop places with teenager

NOT me. Been there still got my -'Slade in Flame T-shirt'-.



Music still. OK still got Vinyl, Community vital but youthie closed.
Fashion's change economic well being affects quality's experienced.
Simply US, we haven't learned from the past. That's a painful confession.
Especially for those in Political scene.

 Autumn Sunshine with the leaves falling  is one of   nicest views of the year.

  Everything appears to be changing, not dying    just ending, for new life ahead. 
 Those in `Autumn of their life's`, are also   slowing down. But still got LIFE to be lived.

Sep 22, 2023

Abuse still being practiced by those in power.

The seasons changing, new timetables, tides deeper, ice-cream sales dropped.

Seagulls still need culling, no repeat that Seagulls need culling 

Rides are shut, warmer clothes, well extra layer now Worn. That old saying one from Stevie Wonder catalogue still very true.

Love's in need of love Today.

Your still missing, old heart still being tested. Abuse still being practiced by those in power.











Last Pirates become 'settee lover's' as season comes to close.

Last hurray still take place as few warm weekends remain.

Faith still requires prayer, reading, discussion, yes challenge.

Faith in God still needs sharing whatever Faith in Jesus means.

Relationships need working on, good old fashioned values need to be remembered.

Season brings change.

But also brings reliance to what we may have found valuable.

Limited capacity to contribute.











We are experiencing something new not really recorded in Social not custom.

The cancel culture and toxity coming from political groupings mainly from WOKE gathering.

When challange they attack those standing opposite with crude arguments.

Fascist, Nazi, CIS are common attacks.

Personally l think those gathered in WOKE community, not explored arguments accuracy.

Ethics and beliefs, virtues,values, are seldom explored 

Animal liberation, just stop Oil have morel commitments that believe Animals should not be tested for medical research.When we have ,'Downs syndrome' candidates, plus Disabled whose contributions are limited. Plus capacity of vulnerable to contribute to society is very limited.

That's WW2 German Party ethical choice 

Animals should be culled and vegetable diet should be followed.

Some Christian of my tribe are very committed to WOKE culture. Unsure again, if they have sourced it's ethical morels. Or discussed the dilemmas raised.

Endtimes theology, leave that for later.

Apparently it was stormy last evening.

Apparently the TV was rubbish.

Apparently l got some nuclear chemical in me from X-ray so sorry we can't be close to night.

Apparently they,well some are saying we are in :End times'. Apparently.

Prayed for relief to those that are suffering in Lydian tragedy, Prayed for Syrian situation.

You see my sense of God means grateful that others just are committed to cleaning up the mess.

Going Apparently where few are going.

Prayed thankfully for those from all over world who in my moment of health requirements today Nursed me.

They put needles in my arms, put me through procedure's. Made me cup of tea.

Cup of tea, that always works with me.

Apparently we should be concerned about 'Endtimes'...My theology. Never consulted to much those passages.

Never really big teach.

Kind of concentration gone into, this moment, this period,these people, them issues.

End times, leave that for later.

WHO ARE WE BECOMING AND HOW.

 In everything you say and do keep your eyes fixed on Jesus as your model: walking and standing, sitting and getting up, eating and drinking, speaking and keeping silence, alone or with others. In this way, you will grow to love him more, familiarity with him will increase your faith and grace, you will become more perfect in virtue.


Let this be your wisdom and your purpose: always to be thinking somehow about Jesus, so you are striving to imitate him more closely  love him more deeply.


The apps on your phone... just as the books on your bookshelf, your YouTube, Google search history... 

These are indicators of ,` who are you today,` as well as who are you becoming , further may be going to be tomorrow...

 Why? Because they show how you’re spending your time & the type of “information” 


 By changing what you read, type of “information” we all watch & consume, being more specific, those  you use on a regular basis, can begin to change, Can help you improve, maybe grow... perhaps becoming better person!

The recent news plus the abandonment by our Government means need to examine my place in society.

Done my last task for this week. Prepared the vegetables placed them in slow cooker. Communicated with my friends sadly via social-media. Re...

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"
