He looks at his hands as they glow. The moment has been held off for long enough, he knows he cannot hold it back any further. Alone in the room that took care of him for so long, he has mixed emotions. Switching the levers to set sail to elsewhere, he knows the time has […]
Read More RegenerationWaiting for seasons to change is tough going. A friend and I were talking about a church structure we know. There are a number of things problematic with it. Every time I hear about it my instinct is to get aggressive and suggest that the organisation should be torn apart and started from scratch. My […]
Read More Waiting For The SeasonNow then, please let your servant remain here as my lord’s slave in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers. How can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? No! Do not let me see the misery that would come on my father. (Genesis 44:33-34) It’s […]
Read More Genesis: 44 – Judah’s JourneyIt’s clear and obvious, but sometimes we’re slow on the up take. When I was a child (OK, a smaller child), I was eager to grow up and be a man like my Dad. I thought that was the place to be. Getting to stay up as long as you want. Not have to do […]
Read More Some Things Will Have To ChangeIt is said that the only thing constant is change. Recent events have helped me realise there is much to be said about change. The more I know about people, the more I realise I need to grow in heart and spirit to productively engage with them. What I know about someone yesterday won’t be […]
Read More A Brief Word On The Inevitability Of ChangeIt’s complicated. I love that phrase. An excellent cop out from explaining yourself. After all it could very well be complicated. In terms of how things are going with the Dryden Family in many ways it’s not complicated. In some ways, however, it is. We have moved. Yes. Again. I have been blogging since 2005, […]
Read More A Dryden Update: What Is Going On Now?Rome wasn’t built in a day. Apparently neither was Solomon’s temple built for the Lord God of Israel. There are some real precious verses in scriptures. The fact that it took seven years to build the great monument says much. It says that the best things come to those who wait. This is hugely reassuring […]
Read More Considering A Work In ProgressI woke up really early one morning. A group of us were going (well actually cruising) through Paul’s letters to the church in Corinth. I read 2 Corinthians 3 and was struck by this verse. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from […]
Read More Not As It IsRecently I was reminded that the basis of good living is to know it, live it and teach others to do the same. Reflecting on any progress I’ve made in life, I’ve noticed these have tended to take place when I’m in the company of others who mean to progress. As they live it and […]
Read More Know It Live ItI thank God for cartoons. Back in the day … back in my day (80’s to mid 90’s), there were lots of stories and values conveyed cleverly in cartoons. Good cartoons. Cartoons that a parent could safely leave their son to watch for hours without any disturbance, There are many that could be mentioned, but […]
