You may recall that at the beginning of the month I asked the question, who is Jesus and this has a bearing on what follows. Also on the ‘do you remember’ trip, back in May this year I wrote an entry on this here blog about the truth that God loves. Reading it again in […]
Read More Introducing Jesus Is …So, recently it was my Dad who was getting props for how his example influenced my faith and allowed me to take prayer that bit more seriously. At this time I now think of my mother as I listen to this song. There is the tendency to worry. Doesn’t take much to see why – […]
Read More Be Still My SoulThis life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do. There was little room for questions and definitely short shrift for any rebellion or refusal (especially from the big sister). As I grew up though, […]
Read More Some Reasoning Going OnYou know certain songs remind you of certain places and certain times and certain people. I hear this song and I think of Wellingborough, I think of my younger teen years and I think of my Dad. Back in the day I couldn’t care less about praying.

Often the case is that it is worth accepting on amended terms. Sometimes the case is that they are not to be accepted at […]
Read More Expect Respect?This is a brilliant example of what happens when you put three great singers on a stage together. Typical americans and their penchant for celebrating to the hilt and beyond that people get trippy over the three singers, but to be fair they are outstanding singers who happen to be singing about someone even more […]
Read More Nobody But JesusWhat’s in a name? Why’s it so important? What’s the big deal? Familiar opening? In a very recent blog I was establishing the death of the name ‘Chris Dryden’ in reference to myself. Now I can imagine one or two reactions to that might be along the following lines. “Oooooohhh look who’s gone all la-di-dah. […]
Read More The Birth of Christopher Dryden – What’s In A Name?Man, it’s been a while since I got some good stuff from Kim Burrell – what is my problem? Now excusing Kirk’s ever dramatic expression of approval you get a glimpse as to why Sis. Burrell is so highly regarded for what she offers in singing and in conveying some real gospel truths, such as […]
