The power in the testimony is not the person whose life has been transformed. The power in the testimony is what caused that transformation. What force was unleashed to allow a person’s situation turn from tragedy to testimony. Recently I sat in on a group of believers who gave time for people to share their […]
Read More The Old Rugged Cross Made the DifferenceOne of the pivotal moments in my wall with Jesus took place in a church building in South London. It happened almost 20 years ago. The place was old and the inside was typically cold. Not many of us were gathered and that gave the place a sparse look about it all the more. Nevertheless […]
Read More What’s So Sweet About It?Thank you, Lord. July is over. I did not dislike July. Quite a number of beautiful things happened over the month. Flicking through the blogs written over the month, I like quite a lot of what I wrote. Yet July is still a wilderness month in the summer. Never been a big fan of the […]
Read More A New Month A New Season: Dryden UpdateI salute and applaud the committed few. When certain initiatives begin with the hype and excitement it can draw a crowd. People get caught up with promises of great benefits if they subscribe, participate and contribute. That all sounds good at the start. There’s also the appeal because there’s a crowd, so it must be […]
Read More Talk About The Committed FewIn recent times things have been a little busy for me. Family life is still the priority for me and that expresses itself in different ways. Paid work takes its time, then there are other responsibilities that demand my attention. In it all it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and then I remember. There […]

I love contemplating on that beautiful account of God and the world we live in. I was thinking of lessons to learn from the account, like things starting in a mess but ending up very […]
Read More Looking Back, Going ForwardAthletics? Nah. I used to run a bit at school, but in my younger years. Then I got to the stage where I didn’t like running so much. I much prefer walking. As for watching athletics, it was one of the few things my Dad would watch on TV. So I watched races and was […]
Read More Run to Win but not be DisqualifiedI look at myself sometimes and think what a lethargic, lazy slob I am. I quickly shake myself from that and get to the meat of the matter of how I am to be. This week in particular, scriptures about training have come up big time. Like this one. I read this and in line […]
Read More In TrainingHis tone was deliberately provocative and accusatory. He was talking about wider issues, but he was still talking to me. “Can you not see?” People are there who are more than capable of helping in the situation. Opportunities are wide open for exploring and maximising. Relationships were there to be developed and invested in. The […]
Read More Can You Not See?When I come across videos like this it can be challenging at the best of times. When I watch a video like this in a time like this time of my life, it has great potential to make matters worse. So rather than go into it in any great detail, it is worth saying that […]
