Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17) I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, that growing up we as a family never bought into the whole ‘special days of celebration’ deal other than for […]
Read More Father GodThis blog entry was written yesterday. A fair bit of preparation has gone into today’s proceedings, there’s the highlighting of the previous blog I wrote on this very subject. Earlier on today I posted the first musical tribute about today based on my heart’s desire and then around lunchtime I also put together another musical […]
Read More Thank God For MarriageYeah there’s the Jesus stuff which is very important to me. There is the church stuff, which is also very important. There are the ideas that knock around my head on other issues to talk about (for example I’m thinking about a series on All My Working Life). Yet from time to time it’s just […]
Read More Just Free-BloggingAbigail Elizabeth Danielle Dryden. The initials were deliberately set to be a constant reminder of the most beautiful woman in the world. Thank God so far Abigail herself has been such a tremendous blessing in our lives that she will undoubtedly be recognised as the most beautiful woman in someone else’s world. It was 3:27am […]

Read More Gratitude – Being ExtraI remember from a very early age singing a hymn called Count Your Blessings. Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. As ever with the hymns that are sung time and time again from childhood […]
Read More My GratitudeI was walking home one evening recently and as I was walking home I knew I needed to go get some little groceries to tide us over as a family for a little while longer. As I made me way to the place it occurred to me that nothing beats marriage. Now this is not […]
Read More Nothing Beats MarriageWisdom is for life not just for reading in a book called Proverbs. It’s all well and good to get stirred and inspired by words on a page, but there’s something inspiring when it comes alive in the human experience. Take for example … Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his […]
Read More MTP19 Wisdom Has You CoveredAs much as I want to ignore the goings on of this particular time of year I don’t need to on this occasion – it plays into my favour. My dad was never one for these kinds of thing – not a party man, not one for the big festivities and all that kind of […]
