This is not meant to be a facetious blog entry but I can appreciate those who might see it that way. This afternoon I had the privilege of engaging in the annual ritual of parent-teacher evening. Once more I sat across the teacher who has the horror/honour of teaching my beloved daughter. As I sat […]
Read More Just Wondering … If Our Father Went To A Parents’ EveningI like walking. By walking, I’m not rejoicing over the act of merely walking like from my armchair to my fridge to get a drink and back to my armchair. Though I do obviously rejoice in this act, especially if the drink is ginger beer. What I’m referring to is a slightly more extended walk […]
Read More Get Rid Of The ClutterI was just wondering again … Why are a lot of churches inclined to stick to ‘their own kind’ and not be multi-racial, multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual expression of the life-changing power of Jesus that celebrates the diversity of humanity in the oneness we share in Christ? Just wondering. Carry on. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More Just Wondering … About The ChurchOne of my favourite albums is Colorblind by John P. Kee. This is a good album to go to for reference to how Kee established himself as truly the Prince of Gospel music and he was able to do it on his own … OK with a little help from his friends. It’s a quality […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Watching You – John P. KeeYou know when you’re reading a book – or imagine you know when you’re reading a book if you don’t read a book – and you’ve got to a good bit but you have to nip off to do something important, so you leave a bookmark on the page to remind you where you were […]
Read More The Gospel SharingThere was a time when I hardly mentioned my family life. It appears as though every other post has to mention someone in the Dryden Household. Ho hum. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but with the development of Zoë Dryden – our third daughter – who has only recently turned 2 years […]
Read More All DoneWhen considering life in Christ we come to another tricky, sticky issue. In coming in touch with Jesus there is a quandary about now that you’ve met Him, what do you do? Being brought up in church, after my first personal encounter with Christ that lead to my baptism, I fell into the comfortable routine […]
Read More So You’re A New Believer … God Help You!So I started something when I considered realising potential and then I went a bit further when I explored a little about playing out of position. This is not so much the conclusion of a trilogy as an exclamation point in an ongoing paragraph of life. Most parents would understand the sentiment of wanting the […]
Read More Wanting The Best For Your Children Means Living The BestListen carefully to the lyrics of this song. Sure I could say that for any gospel song worth its salt, but in this case it is worth paying careful attention again. In my humble opinion this song could not be written without walking through a number of life’s paths where there were significant obstacles that […]
Read More DMCD Songs: No Other Choice – Tye TribbettLet me see if I’ve got this right. When people get married the deal is that this arrangement is til death do us part. Yet some stats somewhere suggest that Christian marriages are just as likely to end in divorce as non-Christian marriage. Whatever the stats say the reality is it is not uncommon to […]
