Quite a bit to say in the blog at this time, but what I want to start off with is a big thank you to God. On the one hand, I really did miss regular blogging and internet activity and me own laptop. I liked the level of regularity I’d built up over the months […]
Read More To My DadAbigail Elizabeth Danielle Dryden. The initials were deliberately set to be a constant reminder of the most beautiful woman in the world. Thank God so far Abigail herself has been such a tremendous blessing in our lives that she will undoubtedly be recognised as the most beautiful woman in someone else’s world. It was 3:27am […]

Here we have the nerve centre for the online thinking and blogging on everything to do with the life of Christopher Dryden There are blogs regaling my brother, there are blogs regaling my sister, there are blogs regaling my father, there are blogs regaling […]
Read More For My MumThere are some things that I’m really surprised about concerning this blog. One of them is that I’ve only mentioned Hughie Lawrence once before. I struggle to believe that in all that I’ve written in well over 500 posts I’ve only mentioned him once when he’s been fairly pivotal to the Christopher Dryden Story over […]

Read More Thanks Father For My DadAuthrine. I had never come across a name like that before I met her and it’s not been that frequent that I’ve seen since I’ve met her. Indeed I’ve not come across an Authrine since. She is as unique as her name. I’ve known her for nearly ten years now. In that time I’ve continued […]
Read More SheAs it’s so close to the time I still remember the events leading up to the birth of my second child and Authrine’s third child. As with Deborah the second birth did not arrive on time.

Read More Abi BirthdayOn Friday my friend Hughie celebrated his birthday. I would tell you how old he is, but then he’d have to kill me, and Deborah says I haven’t got enough money for her inheritance for me to die now, so you’ll just have to ask the guy yourself. The history of the relationship between Hughie […]
Read More Thank God For … Hughie LawrenceLuke 9:23-26, 57-62; 14:25-35 These are two scriptures that came to me yesterday while I was in a men’s meeting.
