Les Miserables the Gospel

Les Miserables

“Do you hear the people sing”?

In this present day the majority of people  have no understanding of the Gospel or that  the true meaning of  the Cross, that it is not a thing to be seen negatively which stops people enjoying life and having fun,  real fun.

The fun that most people look at as being fun is taking drugs, getting drunk to infinity, they are indeed slaves to what other people think, they are slaves to what they think  “everyone”!!!! else is doing.

The lyrics talk about freedom and not being slaves again, well  that would be true if we turned to the Cross and Jesus Christ.

If you are not on the side of Jesus Christ then you are a slave, because true freedom only comes from knowing he is in control. Anyone who refuses that offer has a life of bondage to something.

Searching for something to fill that space, which is there for your spirit to be fed by the Holy Spirit.

True freedom is freedom from bondage to the world’s system.

The view people have of God is the one presented in this musical in a lot of places, BUT things are not always as they seem, there is mercy and justice if you focus on the gift of love, true love that was shown by Jesus Death on the cross. The biggest battle ever was won the day that he died, winning the potential to give every human being on the earth real, honest freedom, not the metaphorical chains and handcuffs that are labeled FUN???!!!

Living independently of God, is what has got this world into such a mess, and sometimes the our own idea of what constitutes God has enlarged that mess.

I sometimes hear tears of God crying over the pain and suffering that Humans do to each other, and the way our freewill has been used in some of the worst ways imaginable, and sometimes we cannot imagine what is done.

The nicest, kindest people, who by their own conscience have measured their goodness in light of those who have done the worst,  still need Jesus, as much as those who have done the worst.

But it is not a case of measuring up in our own ability, it is more a willingness to walk with Jesus, committed to him, allowing him to deal with you as an individual and allowing him to helping you to serve him.

Being a bond servant to Jesus brings real freedom, Love and Joy, while being a bond servant to the world  is pain heartache and eventual destruction.

The western world thinks it is freer than other parts of the world on the ground, but in living life and choices made so many are not free.

But the opportunity is there to find the freedom, real freedom that only exists in the relationship with our creator GOD, who is my father in heaven and whom I love with all my heart and walk with every day.

31 days not possible

I'm back after missing 12 days of what was going to be 31days, but physical stuff got in the way. I just finished the most recent course of antibiotics for celluitis infection in my leg. Since July 20th 2016, I have been on antibiotics for 2 months of that time. One of the courses was for infection in the big toe of my right foot. I felt tired beyond weary and it was a struggle to get up and life has been harder for the last 12 days.
I am feeling a little better, hence my entry today.

I am looking for full healing and recovery from the blood disease and diabetes and wanting to achieve the calling I have on my life.

I have had hopes and dreams that came and went because I had to let them go, but over the last 5 years life has had greater challenges because of physical issues. One reason I have diabetes is because I have had problems with my knee cartilage , and this meant that even light exercise caused pain but the kind of exercise that burns calories, my knees would be painful for days and nights afterwards and sleep is already difficult, but add this on top of all the other challenges I face every day of my life, it would be the last thing I want to do.

I don't show that I am stressed about things unless it gets to a level that I find impossible to cope with. Although I don't have a job, I work making for charity. Work was always difficult because I live my life at a stress level that is already higher than most people, before I walked out the door to drive to work.
organising myself is impossible, and I needed help from my mum and dad when he was still around, to get up to go and be somewhere on time.
I was never very good at those parts of my life and it gradually became impossible to work at the last job I ever had.  
I hold on to my dreams for the future even though with every passing year those dreams diminish and fade a little, but I try to remain positive and open to the future and what it holds for me.

An amazing Beauty & mystery of this planet- What does it mean to people Part 10

I think most people never stop to consider what living really means, what is life really about?
So many factions in the world, are bothered about what other people did to them, and taking revenge, or continuing battles over centuries, which in essence are the same revenge maintained over centuries.
Many will justify these things relating it back to their culture, doing the right thing according to their culture.
This is as true of the western world, as it is of any other nation.
We all need to connect with the one true God if we are going to ever live in peace and harmony.
Living on this earth has never had true peace or true harmony and the more people turn away from God the less peace and harmony will exist.

Living on this planet with all its beauty, does not seem to encourage Peace and Harmony, because true peace and harmony only come form loving and connecting with Heaven and loving and connecting with the one true GOD.

This planet was made to live on, made to use until a certain time in history, that time is getting nearer, but I am not afraid because I am connected to the one true God and know he is in control.
While all the scientists from their viewpoint, unless they love Jesus are getting afraid that this planet is being destroyed and they, along with the politicians think they can save it, but they cannot get all nations to subscribe to these agreements, because they see things differently and justify their viewpoint based on History.

Human being cannot rescue this planet as they are they need to connect with the ONE TRUE GOD.
Our creator and Father, because he is they only one who can save it by training those who love him to work with him, lining up with him, and using his power to change the world.

An amazing mystery & beauty of this planet Parts 8 & 9

Today I want to focus on the good things that I like about living. I like to create beautiful things for other people to enjoy, and I like Bees, not just because they are so important to the Human Race, but just because they are hard working, industrious little things that through their hard work pollinate plants, which then grow fruit, veg and plants that we eat.

I love the Oceans of the world and all the different species contained within them, maybe many we don't yet know. This is amazing and wonderful and I feel amazed when I see something new.
I care about the Amazon Rain forest, which may contain all the medications we may need as a Human Race. This is amazing. But we may never know, and that is sad.

I think people on the spectrum are amazing, with diverse abilities and personalities with amazing skills that make this world a richer place. I think people with Downs syndrome are amazing and the gifts they have which are no different from the rest of the population. The dreams they have and the hopes to be fulfilled

I value the world and its populations however they look, because they are all amazing and they were all created to be part of God's family, whether we want this or not.

The mountains and the rivers and the trees are all amazing. I look around me and I see heaven in most of the natural world, and I connect God in the place of natural world, conjoined with the Good Supernatural world.

The potential for the Human Race to enlarged themselves will not be done by thier own strenght but by comming into relationship with the  God  who created them.

We will not achieve our own rescue, without the one who created us and made plans for us to live the way we always should have done.

An amazing mystery & beauty of this planet we live on Part 7

Last night I watched the documentary with Sally Phillips about Down's Syndrome. As an individual I was appalled by the statistics relating to how many "choose" to terminate on the basis of medical need.
Like Sally Phillips I see Down's Syndrome as a type of person, not a disease to be eradicated.
I am a person with Autism and at one point Sally Phillips mentioned Autism which came right into my consciousness. Would I have to justify my existence some time in the future. Because although I struggled to find work, and I live with Government support. My quality of life is fairly fullfilling and I do what I can for the community in which I live.
I don't personally know anyone with Down's Syndrome, but I see Down's people on telly and they are special, and families that are blessed with these children, obviously want them and love them dearly.

My biggest feeling from watching the whole programme was what the science community said regarding The NIPT test, that it would be an informed decision to terminate or not  via the screening. My thoughts were that it felt like the eugnenics of the past, which now seems not so in the past.
The scientists would deny any such connection I am sure, were it put to them, but as a person on the spectrum who could be the focus of such things in the future, not to mention young people who are yet to be born.

I also speaks to me of the disconnection from what is our responsability as human beings, it not to take the place of God and do what in general terms thought to be right. The Nazi's really believed they were right, Issis(Daesh) really believes they are right.

Part of the beauty of this planet is the different people who live on it, not always successfully, but also the value of human life has been degraded. We don't have the right to murder another person and prison is the result of those who do such a thing, and yet we kill endless babies who may have nothing wrong with them, because it is not the right time.
I have compassion for a rape victim who wants to terminate, but we are killing too many potential people, and I find it a tragedy all the way around.

The Dandylion Field

Yellow blooms, a pretty sight

Flying out before my eyes

Hues of spring green

Hues of yellow

Bright Images of nature.

Humble blooms, not given much worth

A weed and a pest

Sometimes viewed by the best.

Ordinary blooms like ordinary people

Have thier worth.

People like me on the Autism Spectrum

Find Society giving a subconcious ultimatum

Be like all the other dandylions in the Field

Or we'll dismiss you and we won't yield.

Like the Dandylions we are cut to size

Respect is lost and our voice's quietened

But like the Dandylion shouts its worth

We have a voice and we have worth.

Creative ways need to be found

Enabling us to be on level ground

We need to be heard and people need to listen

So our talents can shine and glisten.

So one day we find, that for our kind

The BARRIERS are BROKEN.

By Karen Thompson

This is the poem I wrote in the first blog entry in 2009. I love this poem and all that it says. Reading it again has made me think about my connection to the land, even with the paper and card I use to make my creations. It may be highly processed but at its core it is connected to the land. I have Aspergers a type of autism, which has it difficulties and limitations, but I feel connected to the heartbeat of the land, not in the new age sense, but in my connection to the ancient of Days, the creator of heaven and Earth. 

The hideness and mystery of the planet we live on part 5

HAPPINESS, a very interesting word which says so much, in so many ways. Connected to dreams for our future, what we each achieve as individuals, and whether that achievement is acceptable to those around us.
Happiness, especially in  Western nations like ours seems to be related to how much you have. However, things don't bring happiness. I have known this for a long time, but did not line up with what I knew preferring to enjoy the fun of buying things, like clothes and materials and tools for my craft hobby.
Happiness for me is found in making things, either for my mum and I too enjoy, making cards for other people to sell and earn money for their needs. I also find joy in making cards for family celebrations, and knowing that those people whom I love and care about get that knowledge from receiving them.

Happiness is not related to just one thing, it is the culmination of many things, like having love and kindness in your life whether, from a parent or a spouse, it is also a choice to make, that a smile will not stop the storm, but it may help you to get through it better.

Happiness can be related to whether you achieve those dreams that were in your heart from childhood. For me they were simple to be a writer, to find a job that would facilitate, that dream was in my heart for many years from primary school right through to a few months before I left school at 16. I had a careers interview with the careers teacher, and it did not go well, she asked me what I wanted to do when I left school, and innocently said I wanted to be a writer. The response was amazing and she unkindly listed all the things I could not do, and that I would never be a writer, and who did I think I was for suggesting it. It was traumatic for this vulnerable sensitive soul, and I buried it only for it to be uncovered and resolved through a dream and God's hand on my heart.
I will be 50 years old in about 7 weeks time, and I don't know if I will ever write any kind of book, but I will have a go, if I can find someone to help me. I often wonder now what the outcome would have been had the response been different, all those years ago.
All the difficulties of failed jobs and breakdown's may not have been avoided but I would have had the chance to find out and maybe I would be in different position now. I love writing, as much as crafting and like it as a way of expressing myself. It has been a journey of finding happiness since May 10th 2005 when I got the diagnosis of Autism, which although it change my life for the better, in that people could not hold my difficulties against me anymore, I was as I saw it then on the scrapheap at 38. I don't feel that way now because there is always hope where Jesus is, and my relationship with him make me happy.

The hideness and mystery of the planet we live on Part 4

So many people around the world are caught up in war, conflict and consuming sadness as a result of the anger and hatred which so freely abounds. The sadness, the tragedy of death is insurmountable it seems.
Then I look at a bee or a butterfly, a flower, and it does not change my upset or my own anger over the pain and sadness of situations I see on the news, but I can see another way, a hope that rests in Jesus Christ. The hope that his death and resurrection brought peace for the individual and will eventually bring piece to all.
My prayer is for all people to find the truth that we are loved. That this planet was made by a creator who loves us. His love is the only key to this world being returned to how it was meant to be in the beginning, he gave us this planet to provide for us, although it has been hard work, and life has never been easy for anyone, in any era of history.

People have pursued wealth and notoriety down the ages at the expense of other people whom they have misused and abused. Taking it for granted that this would continue forever, without succumbing to our relentless efforts, beating this earth into submission. I am thankful that over the last 2000 plus years there have been people who stood up for better things, not always successfully but they tried their best.

Some of this beating had to be done, or else food would not be available and many technological developments have made this possible, some were good, some were not so good and others well we did not understand  the consequences, for the land or for the people who inhabited the land.

I stand amazed by animals and how they maintain a life in the wild, while human beings who struggle to survive, by force of circumstance, or those who are so wealthy and frankly stupid take other animals out of their natural environment, taking them to places they should never be, only to have them die.

As a person with autism, I need help to survive in this world, because it is hard for me to relate to some aspects of living in this world. So I feel for animals that are taken, whether dead or alive, because whatever is left behind will be unnatural for cubs, baby Gorillas and they will not survive.
I love this planet in all its amazing beauty and intricacy. The colour, the dangerous beauty of some species.
An yet there are scientist who are working on spaceship and practising to leave this planet, in the future.
This attitude of like a dirty rag, when it is possible if we turn to our creator and worked for the benefit of all people.

The Hideness and Mystery of the planet we live on part 3

The planet we live on is so beautiful, and there is so much we still don't know about or understand about it or even about our bodies. Medical science has jumped forward in leaps and bounds in so many areas, but so many are doing this science without a relationship their creator, because their determination to believe that they are achieving the thing they are doing on their  own.

It may seem mad to anyone who thinks that the men in white coats should come to get me, but the technology came to us from our creator because he wanted us to get to a certain place, in our history. So many people think they don't need a God, based on the wrong perception that anything bad comes from him.
The Church in its various parts have projected this in their condemnation of all  that people do in this world.

But some of the "Rules" were related to teaching in the bible, like getting drunk to often. We know that it is not a good thing to drink the kinds of amounts of alcohol, that is currently being consumed by many age group for many reason. Too much alcohol can affect the ability to concieve a baby, a young woman drunk out of her mind is vulnerable to rape, or vernerial/ genital diseases. So many who call the church party poopers, might think a bit, because the party is not all it is cracked up to be.

So much war and conflict although nothing to do with God, but attributed to him by men and women who want to pass on the blame.
The crusades were fought on the basis of Christian against muslim, as things are today, but they were fought because they,as we buy into the fear of the other, of the different around us.

But those who trully loved Jesus in the past fought for the rights of others, and mainly do today. It is the people who do not love Jesus, but who come from a country labelled christian, and do not consider the moral compass of living the Jesus way as important, both in the past and in the present  that made for the world we now live in. We are so consumed with conflict and consumerism in the west, that we want to hold on to, that places that are embattled and suffering, some get remembered but others do not.
This planet was given to us to use, but it has a use by date that is in the process of happening.
God is in control whatever anyone wants to think and he will have his way. I can see it everywhere.

The hideness and mystery of the planet we live on Part 2

last night after writing the first peice, I watched the Film - Transendence (Main Character played by Johnny Depp), something that the computer industry and acedemia are working towards. For anyone who has seen the film, you will know that the words said by Paul Bettany's character talking about people being afraid of what they don't understand.
Yes, at the moment the story of Transendence is Sci-fi, but technology is moving so fast and getting faster, or so it seems.
The only problem with films like this is that the world becomes a very, bleak and sad place, because the idea/truth of a God as creator tends to be seen, as irrelevant in this time, as if we have done such a good job. Indeed many people don't consider the need for any belief system, other than ones they pick and choose from as and when they feel the need.
Our separation from belief in a God, has actually, it seems created a need in the world to make our own god's, of science, celebrity, even the possible healing of the Earth, is viewed to be within our capabilities, by the human race in general.

There are many who find the need for a God in their lives, as I do myself. The connection to the reality of another place and  a being who created the world for us, from another world that may have existed before.
This is love and care beyond anything any human can give, on any level.
The bible has many uncomfortable things within it, that I would not like to think that the person of God could do. However, I realise that my interpretation and understanding of those things may be twisted, by the lies and the experiences of our natural lives.
One day we will have transendence, but not in the way we think, the Earth will be healed and it will be what God created it to be, before the lie was brought by the human race. We will have to do it with him because we don't know the damage we will do if we continue to go our own way. Believing what we wish, doing as we wish and believing it to be freedom, with suicide, Mental illness, stabbings, shootings, murder growing.
The tears of a God who does all he can , and has done all he can and will continue to do all he can, is waiting for all those who don't even know of him to be told, by those who do love him. Those tears fall for every generation who has lived, and yet not succeeded in this task, maybe because they were never meant to, and now this generation is different. We will see things and experience true life and true living.  

The hideness and mystery of the planet we live on Part 1

No matter how much we think we know about this planet we live on, or how far we think we are able to rescue ourselves from the messiness, that most like kid themselves and others, is absent. Many prefering  to chase after perfection won by thier own efforts, calling it success, but success is empty if it forces you into an early grave, or fragments and damages your mind.
Many want to believe that this world we live in, came into being by a random big bang, and the theory of evolution, now taught to us as fact, trying to explain away the need for a God, because they don't understand him or are afraid of him or feel threatened in thier independence, by the idea that we need a God at all.

The mystery of this planet and the mystery of who we really are, where the cosmos came from, and what is supporting it, would be revealed in an instant for anyone who wanted to know thier creator. For me it took a while to find this out because the lead up to this era in our history has been a long one, and revealing what truly is real, both now and in the future was for this time.

The fear of evil and the afraidness of the people, regarding so much of what is going on in this time, is evidence of the frailty of all that people without God in their lives put thier beliefs into.
All the battles raging in Syria and Iraq are being attributed to those who are afraid in this time and tailor thier beliefs to destroy those that are other to them, they are afraid and are being fed evil, not by my Papa God, who loves all and cares for all and has been working towards getting us back from the one who kidnapped us, many millenia ago when he sold his lie that we as human being were not enough for the one who created us. This is not the truth.
And that lie has cost us much sadness, destruction, pain, down the ages  since but it is our responsability because, we believed the lie and became dependent on the one who kidnapped us with a lie.
However, the one who created us sent Jesus Christ to rescue us from the one who wants to damage us.
