SUNDAY BLOG: Goodness Gracious Me

Time is Ticking, the Evenings are Lengthening and Spring is on the Way.
Time is Ticking, the Evenings are Lengthening and Spring is on the Way.

 

What a few days it has been.  After holding a secret for a month, last Wednesday night at 10.30 the news of the New Year’s Honours was published and I was able to tell family and friends that I’d been given an MBE for services to journalism, broadcasting and to the community in Northern Ireland.  And I’m in good company with the other recipients from this beautiful corner of the world.

I don’t mean to be boastful but it was a shock to the system and a great delight that so many people approved, old friends in Auckland, New Zealand, Australia, America, France, England, Ireland and Scotland.  But then so many people are part of this award, you can’t be a journalist without family and friends and especial those people who trust you with their stories, come to you with suggestions and ask for some kind of help.

I joined Ulster Television in 1959 three weeks before the station went on air on Hallowee’n night and that kicked off a career that has given me joy ever since.  It was much easier in those days.  I came straight from school, no exams to my credit and having been asked to leave at 15 as I was taking up space and would be better doing a secretarial course!  How right the headmaster was, my year at college taught me so much and prepared me for the world of work.

An interview, ability to start right away and a raw enthusiasm convinced some one somewhere I was the right material for a new and somewhat innocent television station.  I grew with the company from the lowliest clerk to a production assistant and years later a producer/presenter.  Between times I worked in industry writing copy for commercial  magazines, for the BBC both on radio and for the World Service, for all the local newspapers at some time or another, for a public relations firm and for the Ulster Actors company at the Arts Theatre.  Now if that’s not learning I don’t know what is.

Yesterday I had a great time at 89FM radio station in the centre of Belfast chatting with Heidi McAlpin and her dad Colin on their radio programme.  We were lamenting that it wouldn’t be possible for a young adult to climb the ladder in this way in this day and age,  too many young people  looking for too few jobs, employers  want to see qualifications before even giving an interview all by way of filtering the numbers I suppose.  But it means many  won’t get a chance even though they have flair and ability and an eagerness to achieve.

Even in the Middle of this Dreadful Weather there is Beauty

I’ve been fortunate to work with young women over the years and being someone who began at the bottom of the heap was a help to them and we’d often talk and talk about coping in a man’s world and not getting depressed – today it’s much better but 25 years ago women were very much second class citizens and there were some men in positions of power who  didn’t like to be challenged by a feisty woman.  For instance.  When I married ‘within’ the company I had to leave, so had other girls, we were young and there were lots of romances that developed into marriage.  We just left!  A pat on the head from the managing director, a wedding gift and cheerio.  We took it for granted.  We thought it was they way things were done until, years after I left, one bride to be did a bit of research and discovered there was no rule or regulation that said one of the couple had to leave their employment – it was of course always the woman – and she broke the mould and made it possible for couples to work together in the future.

Pat and Christine Toner
Pat and Christine Toner

At this time of year I like to look back at some of the people I’ve met and their stories.  In May I found myself in Forkhill in the cosy kitchen of Christine and Pat Toner.  I was there to talk about Christine’s book A Different South Armagh.  Over delicious sandwiches and cream cakes she told me about her growing up in Crossmaglen, the eldest of 12 children, and about a conversation she remembers in the local butcher’s shop.  “Daz washing powder had just been introduced and the advertising slogan, ‘It’s new, it’s blue and it does wonder for you’, and  how when a newly married young man came into the shop he was quizzed about how he and his wife were finding married life.  He announced that she was pregnant adding, ‘She’s doing well, she washed her knickers in Daz and it’s done wonders for her.’
She writes about meeting Pat when she was 15, eventually marrying and coming to live in the house where he was born.
Christine’s first book takes us through The Troubles, the border campaign, the helicopters skimming the washing line as they swooped down into the British army barracks.  Mortar bombs and  bullets.  This couple worked hard through the years to bring up their family but also to bring peace and understanding to the area.  Certainly today this is a different South Armagh thanks to the dedication of people like the Toners.

Matthew Alderdice

It was also May when I visited Queen’s University Belfast Centre for Cancer Research and Cell Biology on Lisburn Road.  There I met Matthew Alderdice, a young Belfast PhD student working on ‘personalised medicine’ which means tailoring therapy to the individual patient rather than a scattergun approach.  “Some people will respond to a particular drug where other are unable to.” he explained. “Our research will help establish who will be physically able to accept drug treatments like chemotherapy and who won’t, then its a case of looking for other ways of approaching the situation.”
In fact, just that happened to a friend of mine, whereas she responded badly to one drug, another line of attach was worked out and today she is well.
I’m not the only one to think Matthew is special.  Last month at the prestigious National Cancer Research Conference in Liverpool he received The Teenage Cancer Trust Stephen Sutton Prize awarded to researchers who are judged to have submitted top quality research in colorectal cancer and/or research in the field of teenagers and young adults.  There’s no holding this young man.  Next month, he and his dad David Alderdice will set off for Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and together will scale this highest mountain in Africa, not only to raise funds for the Sean Cummey Memorial Cancer Fund, the fund that supports Matthew’s work, but for another good reason.  “Just me and my dad and a special life experience.”

Loneliness of widowhood
Loneliness of widowhood

Then there was the sadness of a woman who lost her husband at an early age.  “Don’t let anyone tell me they are sorry for my trouble or they know how I feel.  Unless you go through this you’ll never know the pain and the isolation.  Thank goodness for my close friends who kept me going although they didn’t know the number of times I lay lonely in bed and cried my heart out.  Ken was special.”  On that day she had no expectation of a relationship in the future, indeed she laughed at the idea.  “No one could ever compare, I’m not looking and never will.”  I saw her again a couple of weeks ago and 14 years after her bereavement she was looking stunning and in great form.  “Yes, you’ve guessed, I’ve met someone!”  She was so excited.  “I knew him years ago and suddenly we’ve got together and the important thing is I know Ken would approve.”  It was a joy to see her so happy.

It was a year when the marvel of space travel hit the TV scenes again, of EastEnder’s undertaker Les Coker letting his back hair down and his wife still coming to terms with his cross dressing – is she coming round?; the year of Fifty Shades of Grey although 10.30 in the morning of the launch isn’t the ideal time for such an experience also dreadful financial cuts to culture and essential services.  We have all lost people we love, public figures have passed on, playwrights, poets and painters have died and new artist’s works have been born.  Northern Ireland has hit the headlines for great reasons, last week’s Sports Awards were a triumph with the local audience surpassing themselves with their reaction, even magnanimous when Tyson Fury manned up and apologised for some of the  opinions he has voiced.  And well done to Cinemagic and their first feature film, A Christmas Star and the fascinating UTV documentary about the making of the production, mainly staffed by enthusiastic young adults many of whom have since gained employment thanks to the experience and training they have received from Cinemagic.  It was thoughtful and so well acted.  Talent is in abundance in this little part of the world.

Glenn Carter
And we’re a witty bunch.  When I had a date to interview Glenn Carter (above) who played the lead in Jesus Christ Superstar I asked a waiter in the Europa if I could have a quiet table in a corner.  He looked at me suspiciously, did he sense an assignation?  “I’m meeting Jesus Christ,” I explain under my breath.  Quick as a flash, straight faced he asked, “Do you think he’d turn our water into wine?”

Well, so much for looking back.  When you’re young the limbo time between Christmas and the end of the New Year holidays is hopeful and exciting, as you get older it’s a time of thinking ahead to another year and what it might hold.  For you my wish is it will hold happiness and peace.

  2. Congratulations! I, too, remember the “old days” at UTV. Lots of fun. I now live in Armstrong, B.C., Canada, which has recently been twinned with Rathfriland, N.I. Catherine Schubert was born there and emigrated to the States where she met her husband. They later worked their way east to Winnipeg and as one of the “Overlanders” walked from there to B.C. She was pregnant with their third child and Rose was the first white baby born in B.C. They later moved to the Armstrong area and we have a mountain named Rose Swanson after that girl.

    Simple but very precise info… Thanks for sharing this one.
    A must read post!

  191. Hey, how’s it going?

    I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!

    In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.

    Jewish Rabbis have publicly announced that their Messiah will be revealed in the coming years who will be a leader and spiritual guide to all nations, gathering all religions under the worship of one God.

    Biblical prophecy tells us that this Jewish Messiah who will take the stage will be the antichrist “who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4). For a time he will bring about a false peace, but “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (Matthew 24:15)…then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21).

    More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically in Revelation 13:16-18:

    “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

    Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. This Mark couldn’t be spiritual because the word references two different physical locations. If it was spiritual it would just say in the forehead. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it. Revelation 13:11-18 tells us that a false prophet will arise on the world scene doing miracles before men, deceiving them to receive this Mark. Do not be deceived! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!

    “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).

    People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we needed two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.

    If you haven’t already, it is time to seek God with all your heart. Jesus loves you more than you could imagine. He wants to have a relationship with you and redeem you from your sins. Turn to Him and repent while there is still hope! This is forever…God bless!

    “EITHER HUMAN INTELLIGENCE ULTIMATELY OWES ITS ORIGIN TO MINDLESS MATTER OR THERE IS A CREATOR…” – JOHN LENNOX

    We all know God exists. Why? Because without Him, we couldn’t prove anything at all. Do we live our lives as if we cannot know anything? No. So why is God necessary? In order to know anything for certain, you would have to know everything, or have revelation from somebody who does. Who is capable of knowing everything? God. So to know anything, you would have to be God, or know God.

    A worldview without God cannot account for the uniformity and intelligibility of nature. And why is it that we can even reason that God is the best explanation for this if there is no God? We are given reason to know or reject God, but never to know that He does not exist.

    It has been calculated by Roger Penrose that the odds of the initial conditions for the big bang to produce the universe that we see to be a number so big, that we could put a zero on every particle in the universe, and even that would not be enough to use every zero. What are the odds that God created the universe? Odds are no such thing. Who of you would gamble your life on one coin flip?

    Is there evidence that the Bible is the truth? Yes. Did you know that the creation accounts listed in the book of Genesis are not only all correct, but are also in the correct chronological order? That the Bible doesn’t say the Earth was formed in six 24-hour days but rather six long but finite periods of time? That the Bible makes 10 times more creation claims than all major “holy” books combined with no contradictions, while these other books have errors in them? The Bible stood alone by concurring with the big bang saying, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1); and says our universe is expanding, thousands of years before scientists discovered these things. Watch a potential life-changing video on the website listed below with Astronomer(PhD) Hugh Ross explaining all these facts based on published scientific data. He has authored many books, backed even by atheist scientists.

    Jesus came to pay a debt that we could not; to be our legal justifier to reconcile us back to a Holy God; only if we are willing to receive Him: “For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23).

    God so loved the world that He gave us His only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him, through faith, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus says if we wish to enter into life to keep the commands! The two greatest commands are to love God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind; and your neighbor as yourself. All the law hang on these commands. We must be born of and lead by the Holy Spirit, to be called children of God, to inherit the kingdom. If we are willing to humble ourselves in prayer to Jesus, to confess and forsake our sins, He is willing to give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking of Him; giving us a new heart, leading us into all truth!

    Jesus came to free us from the bondage of sin. The everlasting fire was prepared for the devil and his angels due to disobedience to God’s law. If we do the same, what makes us any different than the devil? Jesus says unless we repent, we shall perish. For sin is the transgression of the law. We must walk in the Spirit so we may not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, being hatred, fornication, drunkenness and the like. Whoever practices such things will not inherit the kingdom (Galatians 5:16-26). If we sin, we may come before Jesus to ask for forgiveness (1 John 2:1-2). Evil thoughts are not sins, but rather temptations. It is not until these thoughts conceive and give birth by our own desires that they become sin (James 1:12-15). When we sin, we become in the likeness of the devil’s image, for he who sins is of the devil (1 John 3:8); but if we obey Jesus, in the image of God. For without holiness, we shall not see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

    The oldest religion in the world is holiness through faith (James 1:27). What religion did Adam and Eve follow before the fall? Jesus, Who became the last Adam, what religion does He follow? Is He not holy? He never told us to follow the rituals and traditions of man but to take up our cross and follow Him (Luke 9:23). There are many false doctrines being taught leading people astray. This is why we need the Holy Spirit for discernment. Unlike religion, holiness cannot be created. It is given to us from above by the baptism of the Spirit. Jesus is more than a religion; He is about having a personal relationship with the Father. Start by reading the Gospel of Matthew, to hear the words of God, to know His character and commandments. Follow and obey Jesus, for He is the way, the truth, and the life!
