EVENING POST: I am breaking free. Getting out of rut through art.

Good evening here. These are two of my latest works of art. Hope that you like them.   Your brother is for turning. Turning this world upside down. No, I am not going to do it on my own and it may take me more than one lifetime. I can be patient though as we have eternity. 

As you can see, there is Buster the GSD . Me and my drum. But I am not banging my own drum! Perhaps thats something which I can ask the universal dinner lady/ Spirit of the loving God to rectify. 
I am getting wid d program and going wid t flow. Got me head down and is working hard geezer.  Good grief. please lets not go down this awful slang lane to the mixed up manor.

How about I share with you some verse from a proper writer. Blake.
                                      "We behold
 Where Death eternal is put off eternally.  O Lamb
 Assume the dark satanic body in the Virgins`s womb!
 O Lamb divine! it cannot thee annoy! O pitying One,
 Thy pity is from the foundation of the world, and thy Redemption Begins already in Eternity."

And now for something completly different. Or is it!

                          Maybe

Okay how about a quote from funny Christian man, Milton Jones. 


               Salvation
  Salvation is like being returned to
   factory settings. But you have to
   admit there is a factory, and that
     there could be some settings.




                                    An
                          Announcement
                  Would the owner of the
                    Ferrari number plate
                       CSG 3P71 
                 please sell your car and
             give the money to the poor


Lastly, I am doing the intercessions at All Saints church on Sunday and am not sure if I shall just be reading those printed on the TESTIMONY, or if God will inspire me to add something.


Okey dokey. This is me signing off this evening post. Be well my brothers and sisters. Know that you are loved. Peter G Kimble  

FISH ON FRIDAY

Good day my brothers and sisters. To follow on from yesterday, where in my art therapy session I talked about my drinking and acknowledged having an addiction. So yesterday I didn't have a drink and that was good. I know from previous times, that when I go a few days or a week or two without drink, I start to get a lot more positive and creative. So then comes the guilt , that I dont deserve to achieve great things. So as its me who has been holding my life back, its also been me who has been going forward. The art therapy sessions, which thanks to my sister for finding Kate the therapist, have been funded out of my own pocket. These I have been going to more frequently the last couple of months. Also I started having some one and a half hour sessions. Now at a cost of £40 per hour and me being on income support, this ought to be one demonstration of my commitment to change for the better.
Its an holistic thing though. Like when I go over the park with Buster and almost everyday pick up a bag or two of litter. (a little differance for the good, is better than a little difference for the worse and believe me when I tell you there were past times I was worse for wear.)  We can make a difference in this world, for good or for bad and I am fighting the good fight! Not alone though. Using humble service and prayer in denial of ego, this servant with others alongside, becomes a better soul.

Daily Lights morning reading
Be strong and work: for I am with you, saith the lord of hosts. HAG. 2:4.
I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me ye can do nothing. - I can do all thins through Christ which strengtheneth me - strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. - The joy of the Lord is your strength.
  Thus said the Lord of hosts, let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the  mouth of the prophets. - Strengthen ye the week hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. - The Lord looked upon him, and said, go in this thy might.
  If God be for us, who can be against us? - Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not.
 Let us not weary in well doing: For in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 If I receive the photos of my work at Kates today, then I will edit this post and put some on.    

"The work of the Church in the world," says Patmore, " is not to teach the mysteries of life, so much as to persuade the soul to that arduous degree of purity at which God Himself becomes her teacher. The work of the Church ends when the knowledge of God begins." Thus in spite of persistent efforts to the contrary, there will always be an inner and an outer Church: the inner Church of the mystics who know, the outer speaking - upon the magical plane, only knows about. The New Testament is not without its reminders that this was bound to be the case.*

* See, amongst other passages, Matt. xiii. 11, 1 Cor. ii. 6 iii, 1  

Let not steadfast Love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.  Take care and love one another. Your brother Peter

Had a problem putting text where its meant to be composed!

Peace and love to all beings.

Okay now. Right; the little picture is of trees,(in earlier blog) which was taken at night without flash. I wanted to show how in a certain darkness one can just about make out the shape of some things. I spent an hour and a half at the art therapists today and took some pictures of some more of my work, but used my sisters camera - as mine is being repaired - unfortunately on arriving back at the flat she couldn't find the lead.

Its a bit unfortunate as I wanted to share my recent work with you, which is so colourful and positive.
Never mind. My late wife Tracy God bless her, used to say the following; Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace and grace is a little girl with a dirty face!

Oh yes. The big thing that I came up with at the art therapist was that my use of alcohol to self medicate is very destructive. Also it could be dangerous for others, as I dont forgive people so easily when I have had a drink and I recall that they have swindled me! Nuff said about that. I came to the conclusion that I needed help to quit drinking completely and am going to go to AA meetings. Do you see how I just kind of slipped this paragraph in there like a little aside? So, watch this space.
Anyway, back to the art, which I finished off today. Its a triptych and with some good fortune they will be on a blog in a day or two. To say that I am happy with them is an understatement. I believe the images will make good postcards, cards, and posters. You can decide what you think when you see them. The individual pieces (peace`s) are called `That's a nice day`,`The calm before the storm` and `The storm`.


ttfn, Peter        

Got some art my sis photographed it for me, but she couldn`t find her lead. So here is a miniture I took at night.

Have done some art today and maybe when Viv, my sister comes she can help me scan it and put it on a blog!

Sitting in the flat with mum, while new water heater is being installed! What more can I say!

Of course those of you who know me through my blogs will realize that I can tend to say quite a lot.


TODAY THERE IS NOTHING FROM ME!

(The above is not true, but I thought it was going to be when I started this blog!)
The following is from one of Milton Jones 10 Second Sermonds.

The Gospel
The word `gospel` means good news. But today it`s more a type of music. So when Jesus said we should go out into all the world and preach the gospel he didn`t mean we had to dress up as Aretha Franklin. I know that now.

The gospel is like a cheese and gherkin sandwich. But some people don`t like the taste of the gherkin of repentance. But without the gherkin it`s not really a cheese and gherkin sandwich, is it?

Repentance is like an antibiotic. You have to take it every day until you finish the course.

To say that Christianity is just one of several religions is a bit like saying that water is just one of many types of drink - it`s a bit more fundamental than that.

Back to me, the little old artist peter G Kimble and The Buster, worrier of cats and Nemesis of postman. That is only Buster, not me. I love postman. Especially Postman Pat and his black and white cat. I haven't seen Postman Pat since last summer , when two sisters a brother and me went to march on the anti government cuts, in London. 
I am all for government cuts,that is them cutting bankers bonuses. See I do like most cats, just not fat cats. 

Have I mentioned a good video to watch on youtube is, `The Banker`, starring Bill Nighy. Its about the robinhood tax. Of course you  could look up robinhoodtax.org.uk

Whats the robinhoodtax you ask? Its about choosing a good way to turn global crisis into an opportunity for the world.

Thats all for now folks.
Keep your chins up and dont let the Man grind you down.

Your brother Peter G Kimble.     

Good day brothers and sisters and lets spread good about.

Firstly I should like to wish people well and pray that we all have a good and productive week.
Secondly, although the blog may say its Sunday, thats beyond my control and I think that it could well be monday morning at 7.30 am!
Secondly, as a bit of light fun, look up `FastLane-The Slide` on youtube. It shows that even adults can let themselves go and have some fun!

I am in no position to judge a great man such as Epicurus was in Greek Literature more than two hundred years before Christ was born. I would have to agree with him saying that `Nothing satisfies him for whom enough is too little.`  Also he said that if God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are for ever praying for evil against one another.
I dont know if that is an accurate translation from the greek. Because surely an all knowing, all seeing God, does listen to the prayers of men. Should Epicurus have said, If God granted the prayers of all men?
Epicurus denies that a pleasurable life is possible unless lived with virtue. He denies that fortune has power over the wise. He prefers plain food to a rich excess. He denies that there can be any time when the wise man is not blessed.
 I Peter Kimble am obliged to go along with this wholeheartedly and agree that, that which is blessed and eternal may neither extend trouble to others, and thus can feel neither anger nor favour, since everything like that is a weakness. We can suffer and be more glad to suffer in place of another, yet for this a person must be endowed with strength which they will not find from within alone.
 I wrote this blog not for money, but for you; for we are enough of an audience for each other.
That which is finite - as is todays blog - has an end. That which has an end can be perceived from (a point) external to itself.
  But that which is everything (i.e., the universe) cannot be perceived from (a point) external to itself. Therefore, since that which is everything has no end, (the universe) must necessarily be infinite. Now my brothers and sisters, if we can believe that joyful poverty is an honourable thing, this does not been we shall starve, or we shall have full bellys; it will mean that our only concern will be to love others more than ourselves. Now I am getting that. Yes sometime I lose it, especially when I sleep at night and awake with thoughts for my self. More and more, like today I get up and think of others and so saying I must go and take Buster for a good run. Blessings be upon the few who read this and also the multitudes who dont. Know that I love you and wish you all a good day. Your brother Peter
