Pilgrim’s End 

Among other things that have happened this year has been the growing appreciation for others who excel in the areas I love.  I have come across some brilliant creative types who have helped me considerably by displaying their creative prowess.

Coming To An Agreement

Two people agreeing on something is in itself something not to take for granted. That’s because it is easier to eventually reach a position where disagreement leads to division because of the disunity. That’s just between two people. Imagine what it’s like when the numbers increase. I was reminded of two incidents in the book […]

There’s More To It Than That

Sometimes I can have an extended season of interest in something. I’ll be all over it and fascinated to find out about it. Some of those things become a regular standby for me.

Dryden Update – February 2017

January is over. Thank God. I did not hate January. Lots of positive steps occurred in the month, developments in one or two pursuits I have had in mind. One of my favourites is coming across the Anchor app. It’s not about ships at sea, thankfully, it’s a brilliant device for conversations and audio snippets […]

December Thanks #16: Church

(HT: Tim Marshall Photography) My parents nurtured me in a church environment. I know of other environments like work and school, but the church one is something I was familiar with. As a human collective, it is something with good points and bad. The thing about church, however, is what has been written about it from […]
