i do get irritated... quite often we get sidetracked by folks who have made it good from startling beginnings and they sometimes they say themselves they are evidence it can be done... i guess i am irritated with myself at this moment with the whole thing of the ooh factor folks overcoming the odds so you cheer them on... my expoerience in real life has been the tough made good remain tough and ain't given nothin away... that escape from poverty.... so the theory goes you too can and therefore the poor have only themselves to blame for the plight they are in ... contrast that to the poor are the victims in other words everyone would be rich if it weren't for the rich and the rich themselves are responsible.... i idly think of the real life faces of those i walked by on the poor hill yesterday the adults grunge life dictated lives unlived lives broken before they begun those lives broken before a 'better' life course came along... our dreams.... not long ago i listened to someone on the theme of negativity and Spirituality we are completely able not to think those thoughts we just take them captive ... hey that's nice have you too sat in one of those seminars where a bright middle class addition to humanity gets paid to have you sit through with disbelief or perhaps a little experiment or two lasts about 2 hours... hey am i being negative here? the Gospel is what has brought about any change i can value.. the realisation not a thought thing but a life experience thing that somehow the head eventually gets the message on... when GOD calls out it's the message that call on the Name of the Lord and you will be saved or rescued it's GOD that actually does the transforming bit so why is it we on the whole are such rubbish students.. where do we put our attention? when the chips are down? the Gospel is there but who will be 'MY MESSENGER' oh we sing and read stuff and hear the mutterings behind us of yyesss! and tomorrow is like well like the day before the morrow of new life! we were treated to a new addition to our pr;ayer meeting... and my heart sank .... hi hi i was pleased to see and oh!?? we were treated to a great religious philosopher full of Paul full of something quite dark talking about love and yes they ascribe transformation to GOD and the humility of experience but oh brother!... you don't usually decide so quickly when you are offered a lift... remarked my lift er.. i wanted to flee from the place the new addition was not in a hurry to leave.... everything about this person bothered mne even when they agreed with me! and i was not quite beyond recognising that i could see stuff that was.. i use the word dark quite loosely... i don't want to criticise... denominationalism had been apparently a theme on this person's heart and suddenly .. out came ...'i don't want to criticise .... but and off they were again... to the extent that treasure of the night someone who had taken some similar line was in effect telling them off you can't criticise someone else's belief... hey great news... i had to remark that it was great to hear them say that remembering a time when.....
i check out some stuff idling ... you know i have kindov run out of inspiration for what i am actually doing and then well someone has come and annoyed me so i am gonna stay ... the pair of us caught in a poverty trap of aggro and community breakdown.... an doodle i do... that's when hey it's a epidemic theme .... kid's in this country who grow up in care... become unplaceable ... kids who grow up in care .. at risk ... kids who grow up in care have no limited support at the vulnerable age of young adulthood.... the various crises with care.. brutality the care scare thing with the ghastly man saville... and are enough kids up in care... and guess what here is a new solution being piloted one county council wants to recruit foster parents who are more better equipped than the norm so they target police prisonofficers and social workers.... hey i think this pretty good thinking on the one hand .. on the other hand i am thinking when do these good folks who have all this skills they exercise at work suddenly get chill out time scheduled in their days? so what do we do with a problem like Maria?.... shouldn't we all then be equipped?....
well this is what the nuns of the convent of rogers and hammerstien thought....
....
i am so glad there is gradually creeping out studies with numbers on the effects of long term damage that occurs home community school for kids .. that more recently all we hear about is those who were er done a favour? by being systematically bullied and what did happen to the bullies? that events like sexual abuse neglect physical emotional psychological spiritual abuse create life prisons.... the sentencing of offenders remains disproportionate in comparison... just on a scale of tooth for a tooth would be appropriate surely ... but no the bible sets out some disproportionalities of it's own when it comes to notions of sentencing....
the unwantedness the unpreparedness of it all the wantonness oh here we go unresolved but spilling over into.... the problems
but hey where does fixing come in as a natural part of community structures... or is it that the normality of community structures is that some thrive some do not and some is beautiful and given all the aah factor and some just aint... if this is not how it's meant to be then Lord what is? bring it to pass please.. in the Name of Jesus
GOD BLESS!
Peace and Love,
