i appear to have lost some structure on the poor though remain very anxious about money...:

earlier something little talked about comes into the public domain as folks get their letters for council tax bills.... no more can one not pay council tax for being too poor everyone is in it together..... where i live the amount is not huge but take that out of a struggling person's budget and suddenly and statlingly that and many other rising costs becomes exhorbitant.... we are all in this together..... surely that should mean the most affected is where the knees of the kneeling kneel alongside?..... in the evangelical circles i live in .. the tiny mention in Acts of that joyous early church that sells and shares that meets the needs of those in need..... albeit one has an impression of them caring primarily for the faithful ... and even that has teething problems if the story of Stephen is to be believed....  i don't get how folks can get terribly excited about the notion of the early chuirch but in real life do very little to emulate that ... i don't get the modern christian... is it that the protected upbringing has them spending time that they would otherwise be learning about life reading and watching telly so the most response one can ever expect to get is a few tears on occasion or a heart warming experience... of couse i am exagerating ... but seriously what is a christian in contemporary times?.... the whole in things together milarky how would we take that seriously if in truth the political establisjhment instead of it's cosying in with the rich kids actually did the give up everything and sit with the poor

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
