In The Deal Is In The Meal, I set the background for this short series of entries outlining my journey into appreciating the Lord’s Supper. As well as Lord’s Supper, it is referred to in other Christian traditions as The Eucharist and as Holy Communion. I’m not bothered about the interchanging terms though I love the […]
Read More Journey into Joy in Communion – Part 1 Blind BeginningEarlier this week good news came to the Dryden Family. What did we do? We had a slap up meal featuring all our favourite cuisines. Girls had what they like. My beloved had what she liked. I had what I liked. Some might call it indulgence, but to us it was not a regular event, […]
Read More The Deal Is In The MealNot sure if I’ve told you, but recently I started playing squash again. Yeah. I am. Love it too. Playing it with a brother in Derby who really looks out for me, and is a quality hombre. So I’m doing my squash thing and feeling good about doing something relatively physical. Right in the middle […]
Read More Congratulations to the Marathon Man and Expository DiscussionThere is the old television Catchphrase based on the premise that contestants watch an animated enaction of a famous catchphrase and they say what they see. I sat in a church service recently where there was talk about wanting to see the Holy Spirit in action in the lives of people bringing deliverance to support […]
Read More Church Life: Say It and See ItIt remains bizarre to me that followers of Jesus Christ at times segment their lives to suggest that there’s stuff that they do for God – the spiritual bit, the religious bit, the worship bit.

It’s not the first time I’ve read about an author and their various works, but on this occasion something really stood out about the list of responsibilities and achievements. There was something in it that struck me. I […]
Read More Who Are You Trying To Impress?A beautiful scene of what the Lord’s Supper means to me was enacted before me a few years ago. John (not his real name) was high up in the organisation, among the senior management team, he was a good nominal Christian, but had recently appreciated how shallow his faith was and wanted to deepen it.

Read More Enjoying The Lord’s Supper: The Great EqualiserBack in the early 1990’s a few years after this album was released, the Dryden family caught up with what everyone had heard for years. That was the way, and it didn’t give me sleepless nights. Also back in the day it was not unusual to take a song and see if you could sing […]
Read More CD Songs: No Time To Lose – Andrae CrouchAt the end of Januray I informed you of a job prayer request, and then early last month I updated you on the situation where I was concerned. On Friday my contract officially came to an end and I am in the position of being in between jobs. There might be a short term opportunity […]
Read More Another Job UpdateYesterday I sat in a church service and in advance of today’s celebration there was a tribute given to the mothers among them whether members or not. It was beautiful to see gifts and affection shown for the women who do so much to nurture and care for their children and others as well. It […]
