So the other day I celebrated my birthday. To be fair, it was the longest birthday of my life. Most birthdays I’ve had last for a day – which is kinda what the point is meant to be. On this occasion, though, it felt as though my birthday lasted an entire week. This was largely […]
Read More He Is Forever FaithfulOver the past ten days three very special people in my life celebrated their birthdays. Two of them usually get a mention on here and the third is new to this in terms of me saying something. As I had the opportunity to sit back and consider them, I was moved to write something about […]
Read More Reflections On Three People Making A Difference In My LifeGod has been so good to me. In any given moment there is a friend who can say something that will get me laughing. In the childhood days there were competitions between us as siblings to see who could keep a straight face and not laugh at the efforts of the others. Though I loved […]
Read More A Word On LaughingThere is no Psalm 151. Unlike the continuation of the book of Acts where the good news is still being shared around the globe, there isn’t the same thing with the collection of Psalms. The collection ends at 150. That’s not to say there are no other great works written and included in this collection. […]
Read More A Brief Word On A Big BookThis Psalm right here is a great song to remember that you are not as self-reliant, independent, self-sufficient and all that which you like to believe from time to time.

Read More Psalm 124 – If It Had Not Been …It is very difficult for me to read this Psalm. Very difficult. It’s difficult because to read of someone who knows what it is to be rescued and so express this great love for God reminds me of what God has rescued me from. The darkness of depression, the despair of feeling worthless, the delusion […]
Read More Psalm 116 – A Very Good Reason to Love HimJanuary 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 […]
Read More Dryden Update – February 2017Yeah, I know it’s not December, but I am reaching the conclusion of the challenge I set for myself back at the beginning of December. 30 Days of Thanksgiving. Not that the Thanksgiving is coming to an end, though. Therein lies the meaning of the last entry on December Thanksgiving. It is truly something wonderful […]
Read More December Thanks #30: EternityI will not forget what God has done for me and my family in 2016. He has definitely exceeded my expectations in ways I truly never even contemplated before. On this basis I am grateful for the memories of His faithfulness and goodness and look forward to discovering more of His greatness to those that […]
Read More December Thanks #29: Memories2016 has been another year of my growing appreciation for WhatsApp, YouTube, Twitter, WordPress and other means of electronic communication. They have been means by which I have been a recipient of the word and been a conveyor of the word. The word has come in greatly through those means. It has been a reminder […]
