So yesterday gave the basis of how important it is to realise that whatever happens in life, it is important not to be presumptuous but likewise to seek guidance and direction in knowing there is somewhere I’m meant to be going. This brings me back to the issue of where I am now, where do I […]
Read More Where Do I Go From Here? TextI have heard it said that we live in a country that at least used to be a Christian country. There is shock and alarm at the way the faith is being marginalised in this ever changing pluralistic society in which we live in. The issue is all the more to people’s mind as the […]
Read More Taking God Out Of School! (Was He There Anyway?)I’m notoriously rubbish at saying proper goodbyes. By that I’m not referring to that farewell you give to someone that you expect to see tomorrow or soon. I’m talking about the goodbye that suggests that to all intents and purposes you are leaving that person/organisation/group of people for good. Not to say that communications will […]

Read More Things to Look Out ForSo much to say, so little time as Take 6 once put it. In many ways it is the culmination of a number of strands that have been buzzing around in the atmosphere for the last two years or so. I would love to be able to write at length, but time does not afford […]

OK, you may not being the ever observant, considered and thoughtful person you are, but until I grow up to be just like you, I’m left with these occurrences. […]
Read More You Don’t Have To Roll The Old Chariot AlongOn this day a child was born, at this time a son was given and his name was called Christopher Luketon John Dryden. Up until last night I wasn’t particularly bothered about putting together a blog about a day like today. I don’t think I’ve done it in the past. That all changed when I […]
Read More Happy ChristophermasReading. I love it. I was sitting down the other day in one of those neat straw made deals in a conservatory in Salford and for the best part of an hour or so I was just chilling and reading the Michael Foot biography. Kenneth O. Morgan (I wonder if he get upset if we […]
Read More Playing Out Of Position – Part TwoIt was a pity, really. I didn’t plan to end it that way at all. As I’ve noted on a number of occasions I love the writing gig and particularly the rhythm of blogging. So to have it abruptly cut short with apparently no explanation was not of the plan at all. Here is an […]
