The Reckoning based on a true story
She stared at the little crosses
they had been placed where her family had died,
they had been made to dig their own graves
then pushed into it and buried alive.
She had managed to creep away, and hide
she ended up in Canada a far away place
her foster parents were good,
but she longed for her own Mother.
She remembered the soldier laughing,
now was time to visit him
how would he explain his actions
following rules, ah but he was laughing.
She was told to forgive, but how could she
every night she relived the horror
she had run away and hid
while her family cried and died.
He was married with children now.
But for her she could never love again
Love was too painful,she cried at night
oh the anguish, oh the hate in her heart.
Now they sat across the table from one another,
he spoke of his shame, has his tears flowed
she saw he had suffered too
And then God gave her the grace to forgive.

Prostitute's deserts
'Well he didn't really kill the first one, it was just an accident.he backed her up to the platform and she fell onto the rail and was electrocuted.They'd had an argument about him smoking on the platform. He ran off but the police caught him.
'but the second one was murder, he'd gone into this bar and got into an argument with a prostitute and he just lost it, he saw red and hit her, she went down like a sack of potatoes. She hit her head on a step and it cut her head open. it was a terrible sight they said. The police were a bit rough with D an, probably because of the other incident, he was out on bail for that. It's a shame really, his wife was barred from the local supermarket she'd probably been shoplifting'.
Cheryl was nodding 'Yes a right pair them two are and the kids just run riot, if you say anything to them you get a right mouthful'.
'I wonder what will happen to them, probably better for them if they go into care',said Sadie.'It will be better for the neighbourhood', she laughed.
They had met Dan and his wife Juliette at a barbecue last summer at a neighbours house.They had been the life and soul of the party,but their kids were a menace charging round on their bikes and nearly knocking people over.
Dan was covered with tattoo's he looked really menacing, but she was quite pretty. They both drank too much and it wouldn't surprise me if they were on drugs, you hear about these sort of people.but later when they met they always spoke to them, tried to be neighbourly like.
Well it seems last year Dan had been out with this prostitute, and Juliette found out and she went berserk and threatened to castrate him and well what she would do with her wasn't quite what you talk about if you know what i mean.
Well the barmaid was a friend of Sadie's and she told me what happened, it seems he went into the bar and that prostitute was in there.She started mouthing it off about him and Juliette and he just went mad and hit her, she let out a scream and just crumpled like a concertina, blood was everywhere she'd hit the step and blood spurted right up the walls it just looked like a massacre. He stood with a look of horror on his face, I don't think he meant to kill her but it just happened. The police were called and he still just stood there with a gormless look on his face. The police wouldn't let anyone go till they'd questioned them. it was awful.
She said I'd never seen a dead body before it was unreal one moment she was mouthing him off and the next moment she was on the floor, she gave a funny gurgling noise and then she was still, her looked to be at a funny angle and her eyes were staring like saucers.It was awful I'm still having nightmares about it.

Did God really say !
sorry about last week had digital problems.
I just read about someone being told by god to move to a new location and the doubts that came in ,well I remember in 1986 we believed that god was telling us to move away from our home location in west Yorkshire UK we looked around and went to bible weeks in a different area and wondered about moving to Dorset but nothing opened up job wise, so we carried on praying and looking. At the time i had a mother with dementia in a residential home i spoke to the staff there who reassured me that she no longer recognised me and didn't like to be taken out has she became panicky when we tried. So with the reassurance that it was the best time to move . My children were teenagers the eldest said she would stay with her Grandfather and my younger daughter was at grammar school and insisted on staying with her friend whose family were in the Church, so we thought she would be alright.Our son was only fourteen so he would come with us.
Still wondering where god wanted us but feeling more and more we were in the wrong place I was looking in the window of the Job centre in Bradford when I saw a post advertised for a deputy matron at a Nursing Home in Hastings East Sussex.I knew I was qualified to do the job has i was a Registered general nurse and had been nursing the elderly for some time. So after a discussion with my husband I applied for the post, I was successful has the owner came from Bradford and wanted some of his staff from that region, it also came with a three bed roomed flat looking over the sea it sounded perfect, but we had to make sure their was a church there similar to the one we were presently in So we decided to go down for the weekend my husband .found out their was a church in Hastings which was part of a group called coastlands and the Leader in charge of it was known to us so we contacted the one of the Elders and he arranged for us to stay in a cottage owned by one of the members. It was beginning to feel right. We went down and explored the area and was really delighted with it, we then visited the Church and we just Knew it was right we were invited out for lunch everybody were so friendly. The cottage we were staying in was delightful..
So it happened in January 1987 we moved to Hastings we had to sell everything we had so we arrived with no car but a caravan not that useful without a car The enemy kept whispering are you sure god said But we were there the flat wasn't ready and we just laughed they put us up in a bed and breakfast .hotel which was not very good, so we managed to stay in the cottage we'd stayed in when we came to look.
The next morning their had been a snowfall and all the buses had stopped so for my first morning I had to walk to work, and the enemy kept whispering in our ears, but we believed it was the right move.
We got our son into a school and my husband found a job and eventually the flat was ready.
Our eldest daughter came down but said she would return every weekend, but of course she didn't Then My other daughter came down after she had finished her Exams she eventually got a place at Guy's Hospital to do her training.My Eldest daughter started at Hastings college for catering My Son had learning difficulties and went to special school he eventually left and started working in the home has a kitchen assistant and later has a carer.
So twenty seven years later we are still in the area and in the same church We have been cared for and well shepherded God new what he was doing .
