...... hey
how are you ?
feeling?

hmmm
Makes me think what is happening in your life to cultivate those feelings.
Have you some decisions to make.

Me ............ feeling tired now. At peace - mainly.
If I had some strong emotions they would be there in my gut and in my head like toothache.
-Q-What do we think about when we have toothache?
-A-Toothache.

Our current pain can posses us and preoccupy us so much that we cannot function well in other life areas.

So I feel sensitive about the week ahead because I have stuff to prepare so I can love people.
I have decided to make my life and act of love.
I have decided that the best we can give another human is - love.
There is no love without self disclosure - otherwise we are only giving the surface, the crust, the mask and a performance.
Authentic love is self disclosure.
Real live is self disclosure.
Love is self disclosure.

I have told God where I live
belief
unbelief

I have told God where I live
others
self

I have told God where I live
gathering
giving

I have told God where I live
performing
norming
storming
loving

I have told God where I live
I am found wanting
I want more of what God offers freely

I will tell you where I live
anytime when we can talk
anytime when we can open up
I am always willing
Not always able

Whoever abides in God - abides in Love.

hmmm
didn't mean to speel and spill
too tired for that but it just clicked out
I will reread at the end and see if it really is .............. really.

Last night me and Joan spent two hours amongst the wolves.
@Warrington Wolves - a good Rugby League Team in a new stadium and we loved it.
Thought we would melt under the spotlights of last weeks success but we scored nine tries and won 50-20. I loved it.

Being up north at the right time made it possible.I wish I could be there next Saturday to see The Bradford Bulls come to the Saints. They are the current Super League Champions and will want to bury us.
Saturday night - sky sports - 6pm - don't miss - get on your knees and scream - don't you always?

I like you being close.
Recently there was something happened and no-one turned up for a group I was leading. Then there came one person who sat with me ........... and stayed and then another came and we ended up with a few.
That first human 'stood by me'
'stand by me'
That is beautiful. Words slip into insignificance alongside human presence.

'Presence and availability are the essence of Love' Gabriel Marcel

That is what Jesus did. He came and touched is flesh with ours. Hugged the leper. Hung around with the least, the bruised ............ being there.
incarnation
being
helping my becoming
