Relentlessly working appears to be an admirable quality in some. Activity to activity, program to program, the energy required is unceasing and the ability to manage hectic schedules is seen as a strength. I am glad that God did not design creation to operate on such a basis. The cycle of work and rest remains […]
Read More Having A BreakThere are times when I have a dim outlook on the way things are. Take the Pastor-centric perspective on church. So much is expected of an individual far beyond any biblical outline for a role. In some contexts such is the exalted position that it’s almost like they are gods among mere mortals whose diktat […]
Read More Having A DifficultyThe 70’s was a good decade for music. Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye did their best stuff in this decade, so that settles the matter. This beauty by Andrae Crouch captures the musical vibe of the time excellently and thus offers a great platform to convey a great message far beyond the normal circles. That’s […]
Read More CD Songs: Andraé Crouch & The Disciples – You Don’t Know What You’re MissingSomeone pointed out to me that the Garden of Eden was the first restaurant in creation.

Read More Having A ConversationThe hymn O To Be Like Thee becomes harder to sing the more you realise who you’re singing about. I do enjoy hearing the bluster and bravado of well meaning, gung-ho followers who like Peter will impulsively say they will do anything for Jesus. I enjoy hearing it. I don’t question the sincerity, I don’t […]
Read More A Word On MaturityPlans, on the whole, in the main, as a tool, are tremendous. Having a goal in mind and knowing what to do to reach it, then following through and achieving is terrific. It’s not about the ease with which something gets done, it is the manner in which it is done as well as the […]
Read More A Word On InconvenienceRecently I discovered again the cost of not being diligent. Needless to say, it pays to be diligent. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More A Word On DiligencePeople would do anything to get in. Poor, abused, hungry, destitute, alienated, damaged and afraid. Told for ages that only the elite can succeed, that only the rich, intelligent, resourceful and well connected will only truly thrive. Injustice and inequity rampages unchecked. They will be the trodden, they will suffer first. So if you pointed […]
Read More A Word On OpportunityHanley Park located in Stoke-on-Trent is a pleasant Park overall. More or less. Kinda. When I walk to the train station I tend to go through the park and do enjoy strolling through it. Yet the Park is not in peak condition. Some families are hesitant to walk through certain areas of the park due […]
