now GOD appointments are gone into silent mode... i'm that far away from anything can it be that .... or ..... or even.....   or all things to all men?

ajh yes....  well the silent GOD appointment went like this....   you see it was about dunno 40 minutes later when i return to my bench to find it overoccupied ... there's another coupla benches a short walk away and so i make my way there all the benches are occupied but hey you know what... there is..... somebody is overtly sitting at the end of a bench leaving the other end invitingly underoccupied.... the somebody is one i saw earlier and there was something about the way that they turned to look at me and left their glance staring as they glid away that made me alert .... so 40 minutes later there i am joining the other end of the bench.. and having a smoke so i light up and sit with my back to person who apparently is chuntering away to themselves and i am praying ... and when i have finished kindov look at this person a mixture of Spiritualities i can tell with some New Agey glow.... and that's what it was and i find myself plum walking behind a stranger with crutches yet again!

i am attracted to them they to me today was earlier nearly moowed down by man without legs but plenty of wheelie...  there's something about you know wanting to reach out and touch and heal... go on give him some new legs... you say and eagerly i want to ... the promise of new legs ... yes it's no small thing to us AND it's somehow no big thing to Jesus ... it's not alien to our imaginations and certainly not in our exposure to the animated visual arts or cartoons and what have you's ...


 is it that our generations have our visions opaqued by that we can actualiise things ... on a piece of paper or a screen and that suffice is this the limitiation of the enlightmenmnet that if we can imagine then it is done? compare to stories of dramatic Healings based on what GOD is doing say in some other cultures? dunno that sounds more like me lookijg for an escape... AND at the same time echoing what i hear all the time from folks that tell about GOD does all this Healing through all the methods He uses... i tell you i am getting thoroughly anxious about christians and their relationships to the health service and healings of all sorts... and perhaps most of all to theri  bodies and the bodies of others... i mean they seemn to have just as much if not more physical misery than the rest of society.... the one view of healing that  i like is the neanderthal one ie that the body itself actually has the chemistry and physiology to bring about it's own Healing and everyone manages to interfere in that process whether it is cos of the circumstances they are in ie physically or even socially that's before we get to the crime and punishment or over indulgence of our growing up times...

there does that or does that not sound like right wing conservative versus liberal christianity i mean just in the culture of deprivation and its inherent violence or that of laissez faire forming a smokescreen ... neither truely helps at the level of need though... the one doesn't get or believe in Grace is perhaps terrified of Grace... imagine having to admit you were wrong in legalistic terms and then losing all your friends and relations!.... the other believes they've got Grace but denies the potential of Power imagine having to give up all that middle class restrictions and privelege and social status and actually have to see folks well different and not so dependent?

one fears intensely a future of boringness everyone Healed it will be like Heaven which will be a little more boring than having all those terribly interesting bad and broken guys around you'll never guess what i heard yesterday!... shucks! so we all vigorously busy ourselves look busy even chasing our own tails!....

Jesus Wins ... that would be nice that will be nice that being nice that is NICE!

GOD BLESS!

PEace and Love,
