Broken Britain


People are so quick to react to things - whether it be something that someone said or a look that is taken to be threatening, or by nothing at all and people are attacked and sometimes killed for it.
It seems silly to me and unjustified and most cases are completely unprovoked which makes it more unbelievable.
Things are happening in this society that I can't understand, the elderly are being attacked and robbed, innocent people are being killed just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, even children are being killed in the crossfire and personally I think that this violence and hate needs to stop.
I try to understand what drives people to commit these vicious crimes, what goes through their heads, what are their reasons. It seems there are none.
Although, I do think that some are out to prove something to themselves, to society, to their gang and therefore seeking acceptance. Or it could be that they are looking for a thrill, a sense of danger, something that makes them feel invincible and powerful and therefore preying on someone who is vulnerable and helpless - like a lamb to the slaughter.
They excuse their actions by playing the victim and feeling sorry for themselves, blaming other people for their misfortunes and failures, taking out their frustrations on all of society and nothing is being done about it.
I think we all have a responsibility to do something. We need to work together as a nation to fight back against the opposition and tackle youth and hate crime and gang culture.
More importantly we need the help of God, we need help to make a change. We need God with us to fight- like David fought against Goliath and we need God's help to restore broken Britain. Amen

The things that matter.

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Dreams of a life

                 I watched a film tonight called Dreams of a Life about a 38 year old woman in London who lay dead in her flat and went unnoticed for 3 years. S he was a woman who isolated herself, who was very private and lacked trust in people. She was liked and loved by a lot of people but didn't have many if any friends. She seemed shy and reserved and didn't talk much. She had lost touch with people that cared about her and then found dead, alone in her flat for 3 years with the TV still on and no one came to check she was alright.   I'm not saying this could happen to me but in a way I feel like we are pretty similar in personality and although our lives are so different we could be the same.  I can relate  to her, her isolation,  her shyness,  her lack of friends, how she was a private person I can relate to it all.  I' m a nervous person; especially when it comes to talking. I am not a talker, I am an ob...

Fresh start!

           In life most of us start off badly, we make mistakes, we do things or say things to people that we regret, we do things to ourselves that we regret and most of us end up going in a direction we know is  harmful to us. But I believe these times teach us to grow, become stronger, succeed, move forward, trust that God is for us and that God has a purpose for all we endure in life and sometimes we just need to recognise and see the truth of things. Although we start off badly, in Christ we can start again, we can start anew, our past is erased. We learn from starting off badly and aim to live it right second time round and when we are joined with Jesus, we can live our lives right.
