What I recall most about February was the need to deepen relationships. I was blessed to be visited by a dear friend who spent quality time opening my eyes to the riches of Kingdom Living. Having those experiences was a highly inspiring experience and it enthused me even in my work life where I began […]
Read More YIR15 – 02 – Getting DeeperI don’t keep a daily diary of my activities. Sometimes I wish I did. Though I don’t keep a daily diary I am grateful for Evernote where I have kept occasional notes of what’s going on with me at intervals. That has helped me seen just how much has happened this year. It has been […]
Read More YIR15 – 01 – First TimeThe year is nearly over. This time of year is good for reviewing what has happened, what could have happened and where it’s brought me. I look forward to sharing some of the episodes that have made this year another significant one in the coming entries. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Countdown to Year EndThere are things that bother me and I get caught up with it sometimes. This week for example, there’s a football club doing poorly, so they sack the manager.

I enjoy the preparation for it, the delivery and the reflection afterwards. It’s a blessing to be in that line of work. As such certain phrases are bandied around and one of those is the phrase […]
Read More Out Of The ShellThere is truth. What that truth is makes for fascinating exploration. As that takes place people chip in with their findings and the consequences of that to life. Some perspectives may differ and because they differ some find them contradictory, but a closer inspection uncovers the deeper reality that rather than contradictory, they can at […]
Read More PerspectivesIt’s a challenge to say that there are certain things that are right or wrong absolutely. It takes one person to differ and with enough intellect, passion and intensity for any statement to be considered as strong but not applicable to all. It happens in all spheres of life including church. In it all is […]
Read More Grace and HolinessThe world is upside down. Sometimes it feels that way. It feels messed up and in disarray and all I am doing is putting a brave face as the mess gets messier. In the middle of this Jesus does not come in and say it’s all calm. On the contrary, His Kingdom mission heavily disrupts […]
Read More ChangeRecently I have been reminded of how it’s worth reviewing a term or phrase so that it doesn’t always trigger a negative connotation. Take the word ‘judgment’. I am sure a number of people would literally like to do that. This is usually because of the bad rep the word has. Judgment – a decision […]
