The Krays

         
       

I just watched a programme about the Kray twins and I wondered how anyone could look up to them how anyone could admire them and aspire to be like them.  If they knew everything they did, if they had seen the horror and pain and torture they inflicted on people would they still feel the same.
Perhaps it's the idea of them that people admire, the power and control they had over people.
People that think they are invinsable and no one can touch them because they can pick up a gun but to actually kill someone with that gun is another story. Some might feel tough because they carry a knife, to actually stab someone with that knife is another story but that is the reality of carrying a weapon and our idea is nothing compared to the reality, the idea is sometimes better than the reality and what people think they know about the Krays is better than the reality of them.

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.

Gods love

  He loved his disciples, he loved them as you love me. He protected them as you protect me. He guarded them as you guard me. He told them many things as you have told me many things. He gave them his word as you have given me. He loved them as you love me and I love you.

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...
