I am blessed. To reach 48 years with the stories I can tell about those years is living proof that I am blessed. I am primarily blessed because I am loved by God, and that love enables me to love in ways that I’ve never experienced and could never experience. I am a loner and […]
Read More 20 for 20 #15 My BrotherIt’s good to know that I can confidently refer to a brother who really is a brother. I can do that from the blood family perspective.

Read More Dryden Shorts: Good Father and Good BrothersThere is something enriching and refreshing in working on something together with someone else. God recently brought along a particular brother who may not have had much confidence in himself, but proved to be one of the best collaborators I’ve worked with.

Whatever you think of the historicity of the episode in scripture, there […]
Read More Keeping a BrotherOK from the get-go all Dryden Family members at ease. I ain’t defecting. (Yet) I was watching Captain America: Civil War for the second time, recently, and I intend to watch it a third time as soon as I can. I love it for a lot of reasons, but this is not a movie review […]
Read More Who Are My Family?This entry is simple. Yesterday was my brother David’s birthday. My parents only gave me one brother. My heavenly Father gave me some others who are brilliant men. Yet David remains my number one brother, and number one man. God bless Him. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More For My First BrotherHo hum, the end of another month and indeed the end of the first quarter of the year. Thank God for that. It’s been a fascinating quarter moving from the cold of winter into the inklings of warmer climes and hibernation days over and real action beginning. As you’ve noticed on the blog this month, […]
Read More Living With RegretsToday my only biological brother celebrated his 31st birthday. David joins my father and I in not being that much bothered about birthday celebrations.
