Your Eyes make you Vulnerable

Did you know that your Eyes work to bring both good and bad to you.
The Human body is largely sealed apart from areas like Ears, Nose,Mouth and Eyes.
Its these areas that enable viruses to enter your body.
The Eyes are accepted as a key area of Intrusion because we are prone to touching them a lot.
Its an interesting analogy then that the eyes also trip us up in other ways too.
What we see with our eyes produces desire.
They produce an early reaction of want with no thought to whether we actually need what we see.
Before long we can be paying the price.
It seems we need to see our Eyes as leaving us vulnerable in many ways....but how will you keep an Eye on them!

Slavery...still around in the 21st Century

One aspect of Inhumanity that has always bothered me is the dominance of some World powers that enslaved people.
Roman and Greek societies are typical of cultures who demanded slaves.
It was as common then as having a car today.
A slave would be owned and could only be freed with consent or by payment of their agreed value.
Today I find one form of slavery unusual, that of smoking.
A person volunteers to become a slave to tobacco and then pays the Master for the privilege!
Volunteering to be dominated goes against all sense.
The outcome is self Inflicted hardship.
It seems that slavery, having been legally abolished, has found more subtle ways to take control of lives for convenience and profit.
Smokers are one step from Freedom...so take it.

One accident I do not believe in!

Today I was told I was an accident!
I should hasten to add that this was in no way a criticism of my parents.
It was an assertion that I Evolved.
Apparently its a scientific fact.
Really?
What happened to the accepted principle of cause and effect then?
Simply put, an effect must be at least the same or greater than the cause.
If I Evolved that means something Inferior produced something superior.(No jokes please)
The Human Body is very complex, something we pay little respect for.
A watch,a car or a plane has much less complexity but I have never doubted they each must have a designer.
You dont know the designer of your house but would you doubt there was one!
Trust me..I am no accident.
And neither are you.

Friend of Barnsley

  Tim Cheetham
Classic Yorkshireman.Dad to 3 Human/Stress hybrids.
Thats how Tim describes Himself on Twitter @CllrTim
It reveals, yet also hides much about Tim.
He is Certainly a Classic Yorkshireman and I dont think He is referring to His age!
He Loves His Family and in His Wife Tracey they make a formidable couple.
He is both strong minded and strong willed.
Happy to accept not everyone agrees with Him, He retains a sense of Humour.
Beyond His Family He has one very clear passion.
A Love for His Town....Barnsley.
Sometimes it may seem to Tracey that there are days She comes second to this Town but together they work hard to better peoples situation.
Tims the sort to be a best Friend. He will accept the rough and smooth of you...so long as you do the same with Him.
He will tell you what He thinks and you can tell Him what you think back.
So long as you are on the side of His Town..theres a place for you in Barnsley.

Huge respect for "The Man" - Dan Jarvis MP

One good thing that comes from meeting many people is that from time to time I meet remarkable people, Impossible not to respect.
Its no stranger to people who know me that I do not like stereotypes who are one person on the outside and another on the Inside.
Good friendships are often formed with people who have shared goals but occasionally they come about with some who share philosophy but rely on a different means to arrive at solutions.
Politics to me is a temporary solution to providing Societies needs but provides much needed things like law, Schools, Hospitals and Emergency Services etc.
I once met a famous Film Star. She searched me out.
The reason?
I treated Her as I would anyone, never treating Her as a Celebrity.
She said It was refreshing and allowed Her to be more "Normal and relaxed".
That might explain why I get on so well with Dan Jarvis MP.
Not that He sees Himself as a Celebrity!
Far from it but of course people often see His position rather than see the Man.
He is devoted to His young Family having lost His Wife Caroline to Cancer. She would be proud how Dan is handling His new prominent role but with His children as His fixed priority.
He is no stranger to "Service", having a background in Military Service that would make a good Film.
He is highly competent but modest. Under pressure or tired He is patient but most of all, He does not allow His Politics to steal Him from reality.
He respects the opinions of others and Is perhaps happiest when people deal with Him as an "Ordinary Bloke".
In truth He is not ordinary in character but nothing in His manner seeks to draw attention to Himself.
Whatever He does in life He will seek to serve. Its in the nature of Him I suspect.
Just today I found out He was born in the same Town as me.
Whats the betting He was a County Fan and me a Forest Fan!
Somehow, In His case, differences shared seems to be part of the Bond.
One thing we both need to be is a Barnsley FC Fan.....so we are on our way to a long Friendship!

Where will promised Jobs in Barnsley meet the growing needs?

Barnsley has 97.6% of small businesses having fewer than 50 employees and 99.5% of SMEs having fewer than 250.
It makes the maths difficult to suggest the Town will see Increased availability of jobs for the sharp rise predicted in the jobless figures.
Our prospects, in part, rely on educators like Barnsley College turning out creative people who will find their personal niche and radiate some local wealth.

Respect the good name of others

A renowned "wise Man" lived in a Town.
Some resented His Wisdom and popularity and one Man decided to act against Him out of Envy.
He created a rumour to discredit the "Wise Man" that had no truth at the Heart of it.
He quickly realised His foolishness and feared the backlash.
He went to the "Wise Man" claiming remorse for this foolishness and sought forgiveness.
The "Wise Man" said before He could forgive this wrong and unkind act His accuser must do something.
He gave Him a pillow full of 1000 feathers and asked that it be ripped and spread in the Town Square.
This was done in search of forgiveness.
The accuser returned and was told one more act would gain full forgiveness.
"Go back to the square" asked the wise Man.
"Collect every last feather and bring them back to me and my forgiveness is complete"
Moral of the Story:
Its almost impossible to stop the damage once we act deliberately against the reputation of another.
The action can seldom be taken back and relationships and our own reputation become severely damaged.
