It has been a quite remarkable week in the life of Christopher Dryden. Faced a few unsettling home issues, but the family have remained exuberant and lively. In and among all of this I called my mentor who has been looking after me for nearly 20 years. I love my mentor. It is one thing […]
Read More Compassionately Constructive FeedbackThis is a superb song rendered in its brilliance by what is turning out to be one of my favourite singing groups. Take time to listen to the lyrics of adoration and proclamation describing the Saviour. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More DMCD Songs: You Are My All In All – Gaither Vocal Band and Eden String QuartetThe thought of waiting is not one of life’s exciting prospects. Understandably, then, we try to make it more exciting. While we wait, we can remember God and all that. We can anticipate what God might have in store. These things indeed can keep us occupied. That’s a good thing. We can do what we […]
Read More Sometimes Waiting On God Means …Something before I get going with this entry. People are in varying states of brokenness. Sometimes their confidence and self worth is so battered, it is here that the great work of healing needs to take place. I appreciate that. So what I’m writing is not about this group of people.

Read More Can We Be Too Idealistic?I was thinking about my wife today. Yeah, I know it makes a change, but I was. As I thought about her, I thought about how much of a big deal she is to me and compared her to other things that I’m likely to be passionate about. I love me football, I love reading […]
Read More Big DealIn the last entry I started sharing a little bit about my story of understanding about money and its relation to what it is to be meek. That is to say that the real temptation in approaching the blessings of God is to contort them into things that should glorify me. Oh look money get […]
Read More Meekness and Humility – Real Keys to the Kingdom (Part Two)I’m not so sure if it’s power that corrupts. But evidently there is something about being a human that can be prone to corruption and power certainly helps. I was recalling my journey with money. Money didn’t do anything to me, but attitudes and influences about money certainly affected my approach to money. In my […]
Read More Meekness and Humility – Real Keys to the KingdomPutting words together is why I love blogging and from time to time I have a lot to write. Not on this occasion.
