The Lord has done great things for me, and so I’m very glad and keen to celebrate Him for His goodness. One of the great things He has done is allow me to blog for 20 years this month. 20 whole years. It wasn’t every day for those 20 years, to be sure, but it’s […]
Read More 20 for 20 – IntroductionI thank God. He is amazing and has shown tremendous grace and mercy to me over the last year or so. A lot has happened in that time and a lot has changed. The journey has not been easy or straightforward, but the presence and power of God has helped considerably and I have much […]
Read More Dryden Update: Return of the Journeyman JournalJust for today. Before today, I had never seen it before. After today, I will never see it again. During today, however familiar an activity may appear, it will be the first time that I’ve ever done it today. Yet the cycle does not change – evening and morning go on as they always have. […]
Read More Write OnSo, this is November. You come across this month and you’re facing the tail end of the year. Not quite time to get all reflective on how things have gone.

It would be interesting to see what my daughters would say their parents enjoy doing. What I do know is […]
Read More Dryden Update: Review and PreviewConsistency. Before I appreciated faithfulness, there was the term consistency. My Dad is the first model of consistency I have. Subsequently I’d appreciate the faithfulness too, but it was the consistency at first. Certain things would be done every day. Certain things would be done every week. Certain characteristics could be expected in response to […]
Read More Celebrating Consistency: A Blog RetrospectiveIt occurred to me that apt is probably a shortened way of saying appropriate. The sentiment behind both words are similar – it’s fitting, it’s on point, it’s right for the context. It occurred to me when I was reflecting on life at the moment and how March went.

Read More Apt for April: A Dryden UpdateThis blog is not automated by robots. As yet I don’t think there is available technology to produce entries automatically and post them. From that you can be sage that I am still populating this blog with the updates its received. I’ve read a little bit here and there about how blogging is dead. I […]
Read More Change and Blogging: A Dryden UpdateThere is nothing new under the sun. That is a great relief for me as a writer who endeavours to be creative.
