    ''I wonder if God would like to step back in''?

    You have always been able to rely on me to ask the BIG questions Balan.

    Now can you please tell me if Burnley are going to sign anyone of any significance in this current window?

    Easy one that BT-no, only if we sell someone of significance.

    I hoped for better CiB, but being disappointed is the norm for us Burnley fans.

    Pace stinks.

    The Western Wall is in Old Jerusalem. Jerusalem was originally founded as the City of David in 1010 BCE, but according to archaeological evidence the area may have been settled and inhabited as early as 4500 BCE.

    This ancient city is rich with cultural importance, ancient history, archaeological sites, religious importance and world-renowned artefacts including the Western Wall. Jerusalem is a walled city, but none of the walls of the city get the attention that the Western Wall does. The city is home to over 300 Jewish Synagogues, 33 Mosques and 50 Christian Churches.

    The museums in the area are home to some of the oldest biblical texts in the world. There are over 50 museums in Jerusalem. Many people come specifically to see the Western Wall and take advantage of all the other historically significant places through out Jerusalem.
    The Western Wall is sometimes referred to as the “Wailing Wall” by the Christians or the “Kotel” in Yiddish or the “Buraq Wall” to Islam is an ancient structure; one of the last remaining walls of the exterior structure of an ancient temple in Jerusalem.

    It is considered a holy place by both Jews and Christians and by the millions that visit the wall annually. The original temple that stood on the spot was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. The site is historically relevant. This section of wall is the exterior wall of the temple and not a wall that held up the temple. It encases the Temple Mount and was built by Herod the Great. Herod the Great built a promenade around the Temple Mount, the Western Wall is part of that promenade but is largely all that remains of the ancient structure surrounding the temples.

    The Muslims believe that this is the spot where Mohammad tied his horse before ascending into heaven. His horse was named Buraq hence the name the Buraq wall in Islam.
    Many people that visit the wall leave notes tucked in the stone addressed to God and pray fervently that the temple will return to the spot. There are over one million notes collected annually by keepers of the wall. The notes are collected and buried. It is a moving experience to visit a spot that is so historically significant to one of the largest religious organizations in the wall. Jews come to the site to mourn the loss of the temples. It is a very touching site to see such true believers’ centuries later lament over their lost temples

    You ask, you get?

    How would a son or daughter turn out if the father gave all the time? I would think a spoilt kid!

    Lets say a good father ,may not give ,but here the action is to teach the child, how can we learn if we do not face hardships?
    If we do not see or feel poverty etc, how can we feel compassion, empathy, the sufferings or misfortunes of others? Life is a pathway, and where we are today is where all the collective teaching we have collected, absorbed on that path.

    BT: Oh! great wise one, and composer of great stories. I have told you patience! You ask.....

    Now can you please tell me if Burnley are going to sign anyone of any significance in this current window? I feel, NO...... but,who am I to say. We have hope.
    Now in Jerusalem ,on the Temple mount is the 'Wailing wall'. The religious Jews say that the Divine Presence never leaves the wall, as many people come to visit it ,they leave notes to God, requesting help.
    It is such a small request, to ask ,to place a note inside the wall. What you want .

    ''Now can you please tell me if Burnley are going to sign anyone of any significance in this current window''?

    I hope the answer comes quickly to you.

    Prayer at the Western Wall ,or the Wailing wall, notice the notes placed inside cracks in the wall, all asking a request.

    "Given the above I'm more interested in the preseason. Wanderers are fielding the fringe players and kids against Barrow this afternoon - hopefully God is still a Wanderer"

    God who created and ran the Turfites tribe, decided to smite down the Wanderers tribe and they have not been quite the same ever since...

    ...until Sharon of Burnley went into the temple of Macron, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold pasties, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

    Matthew 21: 12 - 13
    And making a whip of cords, she drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And she poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And she told those who sold the pasties, "Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade".

    — John 2:13–16
