Importint debate

Wel yeserday we had a reely importint debate abowt penshuns. The debate wos abowt the fakt that the civil partnurs of gay vicars are not gettin the same penshuns as the husbunds and wifes ov married vicars wot aint gay. I admits wot I didint fink the peepel in the Genrul Sinod wud votes to make it mor fair. I fowt they wud votes for it not to happin. Ther wud be two reezuns they mite dun that; that they is not happy abowt peepel being gay and wot they is wurreed they aint got enuff money.

Wot made the debate reely eggsiting wos that most ov the peepel wot got up to speek tawlked abowt making fings fair and rite and abowt Jesus finking justice and compashun wer reeeely importint. Most importint. Me humin actually got up to speek as wel - wot wos eggsiting for us.

We wos so happy wen the sinod voted in favur ov making it awl fare! We wos happy becos it wos the rite fing to does. We wos awlso happy becos it helped a littel bit to make gay peepel in the Church ov Ingland feel wot they is loved and acceptid. They dunt awlways feel that. In fakt they dunt feel it kwite a lot!

Annuver fing wot wos reely importint wos that the peepel decided that justice wos mor importint than money. The Church dun need to says that I fink. Uvverwise it looks like hippocrits! Aint the peepel ov the Church suppost to trust God and put the importint fings like farenuss and justice before money? Wel dun Church ov Ingland but dunt forgits you has a long way to goes yet.

Off to find sum nice cofee and cake.

General Synod in Lundin

Wel we is now down in Lundin for a few days at reely importint meeting called General Synod ware the Church of Ingland do makes awl its decishuns. It is very intressting! The bilding is very nice and the food is kwite tasty and the peepel are very nice too - evin wen they dunt agrees wiv each other.

Archbishup Rowan Willyums is a very luvly man and he do hav a wunderfuls voice as wel as being very cleva. Archibishup John Sentamoo is awlso very nice and he do hav a briwliant smile wot do usis up his whol face wen he does it. They is rathur cool.

Today we dun hav a discushun abowt the brake up ov sum churchis in Amerika. I dun fownd it complikated. I fink it is awl abowt womin and gay peepel. Wel fancy braking up a church ova that? I bets God is a bit unimpresst wiv it. Dunt he hav the rite to make sum peepel gay and to choose sum womin to be bishups? I meen aint God in charge?

I do get a bit confused wiv humins sum time; why does it mattur so much wevver evryone beleevs the same fing? Why cant they livs togevva? Why does they hav to be right? And why is they fritened ov being wrong?

I is shoor wot, so long as you is bizzy trying to luv each uvver, it wil awl wurk owt fine wivowt braking up Churches. But I is jus a bear. Stil I do nose wot God is big on love.

I gess we is back to me last blog abowt Amy - saying I love you reely is THE most importint fing.

Long time no rites.

Sorry wot I aint ritted on me blog for so long. I dun hav so much to does and then I dun get pawly and then ther wos a holiday and then I dun hav so much to does agen.

Enyways. I is riting now. We dun hav a brill Christmas and I dun vizit Santa and evryfing. He is luvly is Santa. We dun see him in Stourport on Severn grotto. Wel cool. We dun sing Carol's songs befor. I dunt nose who Carol is but she hav sum nice songs.

Since 2010 dun begin we dun hav sum sad stuff happin. The biggest sad fing wos wot a luvly young gurl dun die. Her name is Amy and she wos jus 15. Very sad and evryone missis her lots.

We dun hav a speshul birfday party for her wen it wud hav bin her 16th birfdee. We dun go to the park and let balloons go and sing Happy Birfday to her.


I fink wot maybe she cud see us and hear us and wot she had a good birfday evin thow she cudint be wiv us and we wos awl sad and missin her.

It dun make me fink abowt how peepel do rush abowt and not reely liv ther lives as they wants. They sumtimes missis the reely importint stuff like saying I Luv You and being wiv the peepel wot meens most to them. Maybe it is cos they is afrade to say I Luv You in case the uvver person dunt says it back. Wot I nose is that Amy dun awlways say I Luv You to evryone she loved and they is reely glad she did now cos they can rememba that wen they is sad.

I fink I is gonna says I Luv You to evryone I loves jus like Amy dun. I hopes you wil as wel.

Nice

I aint a fan of the wurd 'nice' actually. I finks it do be a rather empty wurd. It is the wurd wot peepel use wen they wants to pretend they likes sumfing or they is happy. In fact I fink wot it is a pretend wurd, comes to finks of it. It is a wurd peepel oftin uses wen they dunt wants to tel the trooth or wen they cant be bovvered or intresstid enuff to fink of annuver reel wurd.

Nice is sumware between ok and boring. Nice is neithur luvly nor horrid. Nice is wot peepel say abowt sumwone they aint reely got to know - sumwone they fink ov as pleasunt and harmless and wot wudint make them hav to fink hard or do anyfing difficult but jus let them carry on doing wot they does and finking wot they finks wivowt eva challenging them. Nice is comfortable and safe and lazy and not reely living.

I fink we shud consines 'nice' to the bin and finds uvver wurds to use.

Wot is more I fink peepel shud stops being nice and starts reely living. Insted of always trying to pleese peepel and always pretending to be sumwone wot they aint, peepel needs to be themselves and lives ther lives and not wurry awl the time wot peepel is finking and saying cos life aint so very long and wen it is over they dunt wants to wish wot they dun it diffrint.

I says dunt be nice; be kind, funny, naughty, loving. Takes risks and laughs a lot. Dunt lives in a prison of being frited wot peepel will says or wot will happen but trys life out and if it goes a bit wrong you can awlways says sorry and hav annuver goes.

I fink too many peepel spends ther lives doing wot they fink they shud insted of wot they wishes they cud and in the end they is gonna be dissipointed and sad.

I is gonna raze me cup ov hot choklit and says a toasts to awl of you wot is brave enuff to takes the challenge and says 'no mor mistur and missus nice guys'.

Me hollyday in Germany

I dun vizit Germany on a special vizit. Owr Church is linked wiv a Church in Germany and we dun go and stay wiv peepel ther and they dun took us owt on trips and it wos wikid!

I have put sum fotos on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/midlander2009/

We dun goed to Dresden for one day and that wos very speshul cos one ov the men do rememba wot it looked like aftur it dun get bombed. He wos very sad. They fink wot 40,000 peepel dun die in a cuppul ov days and ther wos so meny bodies wot they dun hav to burns them in a big fire in the town square. That wos a very sad fing to heer.

Wen the peepel from Germany dun vizit us a cuppul ov yeers ago, they dun vizit Coventry cos they dun want to heer abowt the story and vizit the city wot wos bombed like wot Dresden wos.

They dun take us awl to a very nice tradishunal restawrant for dinnur wot wos luvlee!

Aint it sad how peepel do hav terribul wars? We is awl such good frends and we is very sad to fink ov the horrid war wot dun so much hurt!

I fink it is reely importint to make as meny frends as possibul in uvver cowntrees cos then, wen the leeders do trys to start wars we can stands togevva to say no.
