My sister passed this song onto me the other day. I heard it once, then heard it again. It can be easy to get caught up in the emotion of the song and not pick up on what’s going on and what the consequences are. Having done so, it left me sober considering what it […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Holy FireMy wife and I were watching the Abraham movie this morning – yeah all three hours of it. It’s the one with Richard Harris and Barbara Hershey if that helps anyone looking for it. Anyway as I watched it, I noted Abram’s sense of not being satisfied with the gods around him and the status […]
Read More The Blessing of an Unsettled SpiritAnother entry inspired by the goings on of the Dryden Family. Deborah is 7 and Abigail is 6. The closeness in age has advantages, they are fiercely protective of each other to outsiders and are genuinely caring and generous girls. (Yeah they get it from their mother!) However as with all sibling issues there can […]
Read More She’s Copying MeWork out. I mean that in the physical sense of the term as in the work out that you would do if you were into that kind of thing. Can’t say that I am. My idea of a work out is figuring out the four women that surround my home. Working women out is hard […]
Read More DMCD Songs: I Need Your Spirit – Lamar Campbell & Spirit Of PraiseI am prone to wander. Such is the state of who I am at times that I get sidetracked from the main purpose of living. So hearing songs like this remind me that I am in a loving relationship with the Creator of the universe who has made it His point of duty to shape […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Uphold Me – Rance Allen & Various ArtistsA man of quick temper acts foolishly, (Proverbs 14:17a) Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. (Proverbs 14:29) The trick was to find a way to wind me up. Knowing me as well as she did she would easily coax me into her trap with […]
Read More MTP14 Remix – Temper, TemperI was thinking about divorce recently. Not to worry, I wasn’t thinking of it in direct relation to my current marriage to my first wife (unpick the faux pas from that!) I was thinking of it in terms of what a tragedy and a trauma it is on so many different levels. Even in the […]
Read More Compelled by Compassion, Motivated by MercyI read a brilliant tweet from Frank Viola (@FrankViola) this evening which was a quote from Ronald Reagan that said the following. “Status Quo is Latin for the mess we’re in!” Of course my small political comment would be that administrations such as his, Carter’s, Bush’s, Clinton’s and now Obama’s for all their nice words […]
Read More The Agitation And Irritation Of Righteousness“Are you happy?” That is what a dear friend of mine asked. As it was a text it was more in text speech – but this is not a text and so you get the point of the question. There were other questions attached to it which stimulated this blog entry. Apparently my cousins across […]
Read More Happiness and Joy in the Life of a Believer: A Brother’s BeliefI saw this picture (Thanks to The Meta Picture) and at first recognised it for it’s humour and then looked closer and considered how real it is. Sure it reflects the American concept of the normal life, but it’s not that different to the British version. In fact quite a number of cultures and sub-cultures […]
