opportunity

i was on my way for a bacon soda this morning and bumped into ben. he's a homeless guy i have met a few weeks ago. as he chatted about the state of homlessness in belfast and the way in which the system, intenionally has him jumping through hoops and sat in catch 22s it seemed a bit ridculous. here is a diagnosed manic depressive forced to wake up soaking wet cause it rained last night. is this the society we are proud to have created?

its all great the assembly is up and running and we're all moving forward, but ben reckons belfast has gone from one of the best cities at providing advice, care and support for those without a home to one of the worst.

why do we accept homelessness as a part of our countries? there are many parts of the world where it simply does not exist, where people are prepared to do what it takes so that any induvidual can be housed.

i do think the governement has a role to play and indeed it has the greatest power when it comes to delivering serivces, but what if we had a more creative attitude to spending our money.

what if a holiday home in spain was a bit passe compared to having you own 4 bed mini hostel for down and outs? forget a jag and bling bling, i fund a support worker who has helped 20 people find housing this year... oh really well my peanut factory in madagasgar recently won a national award for health and safety...

i dont think we should feel guilty for enjoying the wealth that we have been given, instead we should get excited about how much potential there is for good in all our wallets.

i know we're not all at the point where we are buying second holmes or even one, but 50p can stop a child going blind, and you ask the next homesless person you buy a coffee for if that 1.80 wasnt worth it.

the world is only as we make it to be

o, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

sometimes its hard to hold on to everything thats possible
when ur surrounded by those who only care for the plausible
sometimes its hard to offer to pray when cold dark eyes just stare right through you
sometimes its hard to hold on to promises of love and life
when your feeling drunk and its right there in front of you
a quick fix even when you know its not what you really want

sitting in hungover desolation as the ugliness of your actions
circle round and accustaions fly...
not worth of a single drop of his prescious blood,
yet it all gushed out to wash away even crap like this on a grey day
but a clean slate seems to quick a solution,
will it really be any different, can i have a greater level of devotion?

no, no i cant,
but he can
he loves me still and it will be enough
to set me free cause
goodness is stronger than evil
love is stronger than hate
life is stronger than death
and hope is stronger than fear.. .. ..

back in belfast

A wee shout out and thanks to Jesus and all the guys who were praying and sending the love over the whole america trip. It was most excellent.

The maddness didnt stop after that last post... On the sunday chilling in the spa of the hotel the first gig was i met a guy and ended up going for sushi with the dude who runs the microsoft crossfader site (where coldcut and the light surgeons some of the orignal uk vjs do stuff).
I also had loads of conversations with people and about spirituality and stuff the guy who took me to that meal was really interested in the healing and deliverance stories from mozambique, as they were all into yoga and healing to hear of Jesus doing it they were really open.
After miami i hung in birmingham alabama and nashville tennesse with some of the orignial mozambique homeboys ty-ty and alex, as well as pris and mal, who are all superstars. I got to go to gracecentre church, which was some much good vibes and jesus love it was pretty breath taking. I also enjoyed the delights of smokes and brus.
Then i popped up to new york to stay with a friend from hungary and see what all the fuss was about. I had a blast and through some more connections ended up having dinner with the biggest / only vj booking agent in america. Although over all i was a little disappointed, kinda got a bit distraced by running round trying to do new york and in the end its the big love hugs from jesus that make me happy...
So all in all another fantastic God adventure which if you had told me what would have happened it would have laughed at you a few weeks ago, it was also amazing free of girl type temptation. i seemed much more popular with the boys... but seriously cheers for all the prayers and hope to see yous soon.
peace g
