It's quite surprising how much the port has changed in 8 years. Everything's bigger, the ships, the ship to shore cranes and the new berths at Landguard. Some things are still familiar, but there are some views on these stills taken on a trip round the harbour on the Brightlingsea in May 2008 that are gone forever. There's the old car ferry ramps, the dock basin entrance, and the oil terminal.
Also in this video are some shots of the old Landguard Terminal with ships loading and unloading, now stripped of cranes and languishing in disuse whilst it silts up. Trinity Terminal looks much the same but people who know the docks will see minor changes such as replacement of cranes.Webministries TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14724152418303807507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138800403914078936.post-58270213813435092502016-01-28T11:38:00.006+00:002016-01-28T11:56:49.340+00:00Continued erosion brings danger at Landguard Viewpoint<iframe width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8WGLGffnRAw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br>It's 28th January and storms have breached the defences and created a hole behind the plates near the steps to the coast path at Landguard Viewpoint.

<br />
I've had the footage for this for quite a while as I find this road a fascinating one to drive on as it always reminds me of Jesus' words about the wide gate and road and the narrow gate and road. If you've been to the Costa Del Sol, you'll know the road and if you've driven on it you'll never forget it.<br />
<br />
It's a living illustration of the choices we have on the journey through life: to go our own way or follow Jesus It's a simple and clear. We can follow Jesus and go His way or we can go our own. The bottom line about the Christian faith is that it is an opt-in faith. Our way or His? Which road are you on?Webministries TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14724152418303807507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138800403914078936.post-60319176895847799962016-01-05T19:13:00.001+00:002016-01-05T19:13:09.709+00:00Landgard Viewpoint: Beach Erosion January 2016<iframe width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n081ulPwO78" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br>It’s still early in the winter and there has been significant erosion from the beach at Landguard Viewpoint.

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
“Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied:
“Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”
Minnie Haskins (1908)

As many of you know, I've been following the story of Martello Park from waste ground to park and housing development. The centrepiece is Martello Tower P which has undergone a restoration to something nearer its original appearance. The tower was originally built in around 1813 as a defence against possible invasion by the French. A whole series of these were built on the south and east coast between 1805 and 1815, with the larger east coast ones being built last. Each had a large gun on top and towers were usually built within view of one another. There were originally seven on the Felixstowe Peninsula but only four complete ones survive. There are the remains of a fifth incorporated in the Bartlet and the foundations of a sixth under Trinity Terminal.
<br><br>
Tower P originally had a dry moat which was filled at an early stage after the Napoleonic Wars and it appears to have been used as some sort of lookout afterwards. It found use in both World Wars as a wireless station and after 1945 was used by the Coastguard Station. It is now in the possession of Suffolk Coastal District Council and the lookout position on the top of the tower is still used by National Coastwatch. <br><br>
Funds have been made available through WREN which channels environmental and heritage money which is given by the landfill industry for the restoration of the tower as a visitor centre, which includes, roof repairs and windows. The main bulk of the money has gone one replacing the flaking pebble dash with lime render, which would have been there originally. Lime render takes months to set and I understand that the covers were on for nearly a year because the first attempt didn't take. <br><br>
Storm Barney in November damaged the covers and scaffolding, so they were removed to reveal Martello P's new look - and good it is too. I'll be taking the camera inside when it opens to the public.Webministries TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14724152418303807507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138800403914078936.post-74963039959112577742015-11-25T23:30:00.000+00:002015-11-25T23:54:41.387+00:00A breezy morning at Landguard<iframe width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3ClxrPbY1sE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br>Webministries TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14724152418303807507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138800403914078936.post-39990830914652709982015-10-28T13:42:00.000+00:002015-11-25T23:36:27.837+00:00El Toro Negro (The Black Bull)<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="576" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UQaRn3O8Odg" width="1024"></iframe><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the years I've travelled to Spain I've seen Osborne Bulls many times. As well as on hoardings, I've seen them on towels, bumper stickers, t-shirts, flags and a whole host of other souvenirs. It seemed it was a symbol of Spain - well it is actually and sports supporters in particular wear it with pride!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was whilst on a visit to El Puerto De Santa Maria near Cadiz that I saw the Osborne HQ and black bulls everywhere that I made the connection and did the research and found that the black bull isn't as traditional as I thought and that it was the trademark of albeit one of Spain's oldest companies - founded by an Englishman in 1770 to produce sherry for the British market.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The bull is a symbol of strength and vitality - no wonder that the Spanish and other cultures developed a love of battling and trying to tame, even to humiliate them. It was what made the bull a target for animal sacrifices.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the Jewish system, bulls were slaughtered in respect of many kinds of offering, including sin offerings. The problem with that system was that it was only there to cover sin in certain circumstances and not deal with the problem that most human beings are going to offend a holy God most of the time. It made people ritually acceptable to God but not personally which is why the writer to the Hebrews said: <i>. it
is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.</i></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So what can take away sins? Not a lot really, which is why God had in mind a better way and that was to deal with the problem of human sin himself and he did that by coming a human being an paying the price for human sin himself.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And that's the story. All he wants of men and women to realise is that Jesus has opened a way by which people can know him. He offers it freely to anyone who will come and trust and follow him.</span><i><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></i></span></div>

<br><br>I produced these two shorts as an introduction to a series on Failure. The first was a light hearted look at failure towards the conclusion that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Having completed that, I realised that the consequences of human failure - brought on by human sinfulness - have serious rather than amusing consequences. The video uses the war in Syria to show some of the consequences of of human failure and the tide of human misery it causes.
There is an invitation at the end of the first video: have you accepted the free gift? What one? The free gift of forgiveness and life that God offers each person because of the death of Jesus Christ. The people that executed Jesus thought that he had failed when they killed him. He hadn't because through his death God is able to forgive our sin - our failure - and offer us forgiveness, relationship, hope. To underline this victory rather than failure, Jesus rose from the dead three days later.

So here we are, a year on and I'm on the same roundabout filming the 2015 Carnival. There was the largest number of entries in the parade for many years and a great time was had by all by the looks of it.

<br />
It's a roller coaster ride from birth until death. That's life. Sometimes there are ups, sometimes downs. Some people have charmed lives, others have the most awful existence. But we all have one thing in common - death.<br />
<br />
Depressing isn't it? Just what is life all about? Is there any purpose, meaning? More people than ever before say they are atheists in western society. For them, there is a very simple answer to the meaning of life - there isn't one - except perhaps any meaning you make for yourself. One of the foremost atheist thinkers is Richard Dawkins and he made a famous quote about the meaning of life: <br />
<div class="copy-paste-block">
<br /></div>
<div class="copy-paste-block">
<i>The universe we observe has precisely the
properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no
purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.</i></div>
<div class="copy-paste-block">
</div>
<div class="copy-paste-block">
</div>
<div class="copy-paste-block">
<br />
I find this one of the most depressing views of life, because in the end it makes it totally pointless. There are no rules, no boundaries, no morals if you don't want to have them. You can be as good or as bad as you like depending on just what you can get away with in the society around you. <br />
<br />
Actually, most people do find this view of life depressing. Many people who are not atheists don't find themselves religious in the traditional sense, but see themselves as spiritual, saying that there is meaning, value and purpose as a human being and we are influences by spiritual forces beyond us. But what are they? Who are they? People search for truth in spiritualism, eastern religions, Islam and other places, but answers are often elusive, a clutching at straws to find strength through the difficult phases of life. They want spirituality but don't have the answers - it's a blur, a set of dead ends, a lack of knowledge.<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be good if the supreme being actually came and made himself known to people and showed them the way. He has. That's the message of the video - and that was in the person of Jesus Christ. God can be known. You can start to address some of the issues of life, the universe and everything. Jesus came so that you may have life, life in all it's fullness (John 10:10). Ask him to open your mind to finding the real meaning of life today.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wars are full of disturbing stories - every war has San Sebastians. After two months siege in 1813, the city fell and as it did, a large proportion of its inhabitants were massacred at the hands of the invadersThe unwelcome visitors were predominately Biritsh. It's an episode that was made light of at the time and effectively forgotten by the British and French. I found it a sad irony that the civilians were massacred but the French were honourably allowed to march home - the officers were even allowed to wear their swords as a mark of being an honourable foe.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I found Spanish histories of the event fascinating. It's all blamed on the British and their Portuguese allies - yet the Spanish were part of the alliance that took San Sebastian, which had been in French hands since 1807. Of course, the British blamed the French. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Perhaps more was not made of it because the people in the city were seen as French collaborators, or at least not as faithful to Spain as they should have been. So at the time the French were blamed and the Spanish were left to pick up the pieces of the British massacre and turned the city from devastation into the fashionable Basque city it is today.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">War is full of stories of massacre, inhumanity and irony. However much we don't like war, it seems something difficult for us to avoid in any generation. We are fortunate in Western Europe to have been largely free of serious conflict - the EU being one of the main vehicles for keeping the peace and developing friendship.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But there still have only been 5 days since 1945 where war has been absent and even in Britain we have been involved in foreign wars and insurgency in our own land. As I said in the video, we always have to justify war - and in our modern democracy it is seen as an imperative - although we are still waiting to hear about Iraq even after a decade.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We know that some wars had Christianity as its "excuse". But as we know even from the present conflict with ISIS, people will use religion as a moral justification for even the most horrible atrocities, despite it teaching something completely different.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The teaching of Jesus cuts through all the rhetoric of those that prosecute wars and gives us a more hopeful message: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><style type="text/css">p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }</style>
<br />
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour]
and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies,
bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray
for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be
children of your Father who is in heaven.”</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's a message that speaks to human relationships at every level. How different a place the world would be if we started to practice the principle of love - agape - in putting the needs of others before our own. Of doing to others that which we would want done to us. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And that's nowhere more practised by God Himself who was prepared to pay a high price in order that peace may be found between human beings and Himself though Jesus. That peace is available right now and it's a peace that could and should change lives and communities if those who follow Jesus take Him seriously.</span></span></div>

<br />
I first came across the Brotonne Bridge when I needed a route to avoid Rouen. The Seine west of Rouen is wide and up until 1976, there was no crossing for through traffic from the channel ports southwards until the Tancarville suspension bridge near Le Harvre. The sheer size of the river meant that a large bridge was needed and cheaper concrete bridge techniques allowed architects and engineers to design a cable stayed bridge that mixed the advantages of a suspension bridge with the cheapness of a conventional bridge in having a tall bridge with a significant span.<br />
<br />
This was an early example of a concrete cable-stayed bridge and they are now very common, including a massive one further downstream on the Seine. But Brotonne was one of the first, although it never became integrated into the autoroute network like its larger neighbour, the Normandie Bridge. It's now a huge bridge on a quiet network of departmental roads - quite out of scale with the local road network. If you are into big bridge engineering, it's well worth a look. <br />
<br />
For me the message is that big bridges like this allow us to cross between two places easily. In Jesus, God has provided His crossing place so that we can know Him and find life and hope. What's impressive is that God cares about each person and He was prepared to go to great lengths to make a way to cross over to Him. <br />
<br />
But big bridges like Brotonne aren't just about admiring the engineering; they are functional. They are to be crossed. That's what they are for. Do you want to know all about God? Do you want to understand how it is that a God who is great and powerful and huge would be interested in you? These are big questions I know. But all God asks of us is to make a first step - a step of faith - and trust Him and follow Jesus. When that happens, in my experience, is that all the other things make sense and answers start to appear.Webministries TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14724152418303807507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138800403914078936.post-49793305019710122542015-05-04T21:19:00.000+01:002015-05-04T22:06:04.242+01:00Partial Opening of Spa Gardens<iframe width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EM4O61MWq1E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br>

The contractors opened gardens 7 and 8 in time for the May Day Bank Holiday weekend, although there is still much planting to do. It's been a controversial scheme, which saw a dispute with the first contractors, which held up work for over a year. Then when the present contractors Breheny were appointed, the cost had nearly doubled, the council tax payers having to foot the increase. Mind you, the gardens are starting to look good and the parts of the gardens that are getting the most work done on them should be open later this year.Webministries TVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14724152418303807507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138800403914078936.post-89698983020803713162015-05-04T21:14:00.002+01:002015-05-04T21:14:48.254+01:0045th Ipswich- Felixstowe Vehicle Run<iframe width="1024" height="576" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9kI_DLe8GYI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><br>

<br />
I have been fascinated by this story ever since I heard about it a few years ago. Why should Anthony Allington be forced to leave a church just because he had sung a song about "brave Lord Nelson" even if the song was probably a satire, and it was quite common for soldiers to sing insulting songs about the Navy. Yes, he had been drunk at the time and it was considered conduct unbecoming for Baptists to behave that way, but it would not have led to him being asked to leave the Baptist Church.<br />
<br />
But these were different times for Dissenters like the Baptists and also Methodists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians and similar. They opposed the established Church of England, desiring instead to worship according to their conscience and in a way they considered more Biblical. As a result they were disenfranchised from the political system, had limited progression in employment, had little access to education, and still had to pay taxes to the Church of England (the tithe) even though they wanted nothing to do with it. Worse, their Anglican opponents were accusing them of being unpatriotic because they would not support the state church.<br />
<br />
But most Dissenters like the Walton Baptists were patriotic. In fact for Dissenters nationally, they expressed their patriotism by talking up the memory of Lord Nelson, naval hero, military superstar and legend who had died in one of the earlier conflicts in the Napoleonic Wars at Trafalgar in 1805. By 1813 when the incident in the video took place, insulting Nelson's memory was very unpatriotic - unless you were a soldier!<br />
<br />
The drunken Allington sang a song about Brave Lord Nelson. The only one I could find was a satire about Nelson making wives husband less and children fatherless. Not a great advert and as Allington had been witnessed by many locals singing it, the Baptists took a dim view because everyone knew Allington was a Baptist and it could have landed the church in hot water. They couldn't afford politically to have been thought of as anything other than totally patriotic - which they probably were anyway.<br />
<br />
This was not an isolated story. Up and down the country, dissenters used the "Nelson factor" to silence their critics. But should they have had to behave in this way? The Church of England actively opposed enfranchisement and rights for dissenters. Before the wars they dissenters did not get very far. But after the war things changed as dissenting churches grew and they began to engage with the political system. Many of the great reforms of the nineteenth century and values like freedom of religion, freedom of speech, widening of voting rights, social reforms and the like were strongly influenced by dissenters. That was quite a turn-around from the marginalisation they suffered before and during the Napoleonic Wars.<br />
<br />
For me this little story raises two issues. For Christians, it's a challenge to always behave in a manner becoming of whom you follow. We should be good news to people. If not then it reflects on your church and other Christians and on Jesus. There's been too much focus in recent years on those that have been harmed by failures of the church or by individuals. Christianity is about bringing high values of integrity to all areas of life where Christians are found. As I said on the video, Christianity should be good news to anyone who comes in contact with it. Pity that it's so often not.<br />
<br />
The second issue is that is you value freedom of religion (or freedom to have none), freedom of speech, democratic rights and social justice then these were hard won, but can easily be taken away if good people do nothing. You've got a vote - use it. You have the opportunity to interact with the political system in many ways - use it. Bring politicians to account. It's a universal right for all citizens in Britain. None of us can afford not to bother, because people who have axes to grind or extremist views are always bothered.<br />
