Happiest Day of My Life?

Funny, I've been avoiding this question, it was put to me by my daughter Amanda, several months ago she asked me "What was the Happiest Day of your Life?" I think she was upset when I couldn't say! Well, was there one or many? Is there a single answer? If there is it shouldn't be that hard to figure it out! Maybe I have a memory loss? I don't totally remember! Was it finding or winning something or someone? Was it when I married or when each one of my three children were born? I celebrated that! There was also the times when I successfully got the job I'd interviewed for? My Holidays on beautiful sunny beaches, or skiing down snowy mountains, seeing a show or eating out, or meeting up with family or friends, and smaller things, as when In 1964 I bought the best motorcycle in production (a Norton Atlas 750cc), or when I passed my driving tests, also the many cars, houses, clothes... I can go on, and each brought a Joy, a Highlight into my life, but all of the above comes from The Above, so I thank God for all of them remembered and maybe some forgotten and for my renewed Life as a Christian, when I was "Born Again" in the USA (but thats another story). So to conclude, my Happiest Day is always the time I'm blessed with GOOD relationship within my Family and with my Friends and to get that right from time to time is Great.

The Life of Matt Moore (part two)

"What is your Name?" ... Matt Moore!
"And your abode?" ... No home, just a cell door!
"You are charged with TREASON - how do you Plea?"
Not Guilty, for a reason, I just didn't see, or understand the meaning for me!
"Silence in Court, keep it short, Just your Plea is what we ask, save the story for the Jury it'll be their task
to find you Guilty or not,and it's for them to spot, 'The Truth, The Lie, The Plot!
The Judge will decide your fate, with no malice - Love or Hate"
So here I Am at your Palace, your Heavens Gate!
Father God, will I be let in on your Judgment Day?
I failed, I'm sorry - but please let me stay,
your Mercy , your Honor just let me see,
my Mother and Father who died before me.

Half Life

I'm so tired, yet I'm not working! I've set myself the task of "Blogging" today, and the days almost over! It's not because Im half asleep or anything to do with the Game of the same name that I've titled this "Half Life", It was a concern to a short, yet repeated news bulletin while in a background showing of the Presidential Election, but the news story had been running for a few weeks, the USA/Nato and Russian missiles being deployed on each side of the Polish/Russian boarder, it reminded me of the previous near disastrous consequences of times like the Cuban Missile Crises when John F Kennedy was President in Oct.1962, it scared most people at that time, me included, I remember, I was 18 years old, and thinking that there was no future and I wouldn't want to bring children into this broken world like it is (was then), we had seen what these weapons could do when the USA released bombs on Japans cities of Hiroshima (many civilians killed) and Nagasaki, the most populated with Christian Japanese (killing 150,000) in Aug.1945, at that time I was just 1 year old.
After WW2 (World War 2) the USA's "Manhattan Project" at Los Alamos, that produced the worlds first Atomic Bomb was run down after completion and testing and the many recruited "Scientist Allies" from various European countries, included; Britain, France, Germany, others from Canada and USA "patriots" went on further to expand the "trade" around the world, USSR(Union of Soviet Russia), Britain, France, USA, Germany, Israel, India, China, Pakistan, North Korea, and others have started projects, (including places on the South American Continent and some also have closed down or in "Limbo") including; South Africa, North Korea, Iran, some others are seeking assistance, main players include France and Russia and to a lesser degree Israel and Germany, some only supplying "Heavy Water" to process.
The USA, New York, 3 Mile Island incident (Mar.1979) and the (USSR) Ukraine, Chernobyl Incident (Apr.1986), both had "Meltdown" in their Nuclear Reactors, Chernobyl causing radiation "fall-out" locally making Chernobyl a "Ghost-Town", the winds then took the radio-active "dust-clouds" all around the Northern Hemisphere and here in Britain in areas such as Wales, the grass feeding animals ie sheep and such were made restrictive to sell for butchering by order of the Goverment for some years. Plutonium is a radio-active metal element with an Atomic number 94, a man-made element, it in its natural form, as in some Pichblende ores, once a main source of Uranium and Radium, contains only 1 part per trillion natural Plutonium, this element is greatly upgraded, so from Pu-233 (with a 20.minute 1/2 LIFE) going on to make "Fusion-Grade" Plutonium as Pu-239 calculated to be: 24,100 years 1/2 LIFE, so what are we doing for future generations? There are uses that have been put to good use, like X-Ray Machines & others that "Zap" Cancer Cells, but even these are now being over-taken by new "Nano" technology and although expensive are by far more efficient by targeting only the cancer cells by Ultrasound (HIFU) machines, and MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for display of inner body parts.
So there is some light on the horizon after all, thank God it's the Sun, another day, what a wonderful blessing.

i5 Life Story (short version)

I woke up this morning very early and thats great because I get to live another day (sounds like a Bond movie!)
and anyway what's the other option?
But "Life" has a story from each of us, and in a way it has one its own!
When The Word created "Life" and gave us our own inner spirit (soul) to make choices/decisions along our life's journey.
In life (apart from Taxes and Death) are life's uncertainty, you get to choose the route you'll take.
I believe from the start that God has put a good heart/spirit in all of us (and a funny bone in me, but thats another story!).
In the word of "LIFE" the "EL", that is in Hebrew (meaning "Of God") encapsulates the Beginning and End of "LIFE"(L+E), so too the "mid LIFE crisis" of choices; the condition of uncertainty is "IF" (I+F), the choice is ours, to decide the Way we go, I've made my choice, I have to hand it to God and give Him a "High Five", and a high-ten ed, whenever I remember!

Money or Your Life

I've got to a time in Life when I can balance my bank account with out-going bills, so after 49 years of working for a living I think it's time to have a year off, like a Sabbatical Year, a year of Jubilee! YIPPEE! I'm off to the U.S and A! and also Israel, that is provided the banks don't go broke! I've booked my time away for Spring as it will be beautiful with plants blooming and the Sun not too hot, but first I must put my house in order, finish off a bathroom and the kitchen but also the front room and fit the conservatory! hold on, I'm retired, where's my spare time, I'm still working, but not earning, still, I'd rather be doing this, yes this is the Life, what is the value of a bank account if you cant use it? and they do say money makes the world go round... Why is it flat?

Isn't Life Strange

I, after some thought excepted a redundancy package in September this year and so this 'silver' handshake would take me through a year to when I would reach 'Senior Citizenship' at the age of 65, and in this earlier period I planned to reorganize the house suitable for a less able body of coming days with easy maintenance for both home and garden.
In the early weeks of my leaving work I had to sort out and send off various forms to retrieve several small pension funds and share savings, in the two months it took, due to financial chaos in the Banking, Bonds/Shares, Insurance, Money Trade Markets I took a major loss, but I haven't lost my smile yet, I'm still progressing along with the house, I'm still reasonably healthy, and my new hobby I'd planned, more than two years ago, in Photography is now up and running, and so last weekend I had my first photo shoot for a friends Wedding and it never rained! But on a more somber note, there are many people 'out there' in a bad situation and while Governments are struggling with their economy, health care and infrastructures it is only in God we can put our trust to help the poor, the sick and the homeless, they are, all of them and us, so very precious to the eye of The Almighty God.
Thankfully he also has His hand on my Life, and I owe so much to my daughter Amanda for her many prayers over the thirteen plus years, so thank you Amanda, but it's no secret, God loves to listen to a child's prayer, God's Love ... xtx
