I must confess that I have been guilty of taking some scriptures out of context. One is the glorious saying in scripture “Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord.” (Zechariah 4:6) It is worth checking that verse in its context for yourself. My misuse of the verse has seen […]
Read More Is It Fit To Fit?I have not looked at the midpoint of the year so intently before. Time has tended to pass by and I have only tended to reflect and consider things at the year’s end. The reason why this is different, however, is probably down to a different intentionality to the year. So from the end of […]
Read More Working It Out – Dryden July UpdateIf you browse through this blog you will not find many photos of me. That’s because I don’t like posting photos of myself. Primarily because I don’t see the need. So it takes much for me to voluntarily do so. The two human beings on the left are two people I have a great deal […]
Read More A Couple of ThingsRecently I reflected on the role of walking with my Dad. In it I referred to how my brother and I would often walk with him when he went for his walks. Looking on that in the light of life today got me thinking about the beauty of praying together. It never fails to amaze […]
Read More Journeyman Journal: Pursuing in Prayer TogetherIt’s interesting to me to see well meaning people propose and promote positions with passion that essentially are pointless.

The immediacy and urgency of the now in me and the needs that drive me from outside and within can allow perspective to be very small. changes take place that appear to put me at a disadvantage while others who don’t share my beliefs are […]
Read More Psalm 33 – Get Some PerspectiveIt’s one thing for Joshua to get his call from God to go forward and possess the promise. It calls for something else for the people to go with him. Hearing the East Jordan tribes suggest that they would commit to the cause they were called to and encouraging Joshua to do what he needed […]
Read More Confronting the Challenge of the Community Commitment to ChangeThere is a treasure greater than any other. There are chores that I am given to do as part of my life. Whether it’s washing the clothes or washing up the plates or vacuum cleaning or whatever, these chores are done and I can do them almost on automatic pilot. Yet sometimes I am able […]
Read More Treasure Greater Than Any OtherIt’s not a hopeless quest. Among other terms I enjoy, there’s the term ‘ideal’. Whenever anyone starts a statement with the phrase ‘in the ideal world’, I buckle up and get ready for a lesson in the real world ain’t like we like it and we just have to lump it. ‘In the ideal world, […]
Read More It’s Not Always That StraightforwardPrayer. I find it fascinating. I learn something about it and there’s more to learn about it. Jesus models it in such a way that His disciples look to learn from it. There was something about His prayers that made that sort of impact. What’s clear to me at the moment is that sometimes our […]
