Procrastination. It has been a safety mechanism for me for years. Not only that but over time I have developed a reliable set of explanations to assist with it. After all, I do have responsibilities. I don’t have the money. Time is not on my side. Someone else can do it better. I have never […]
Read More It’s About Time…Tomorrow is scheduled to see the last important football match of the season. It’s the Champions League final. After that there will be a few international matches here and there with some youth tournaments around, but to all intents and purposes those of us who enjoy feeding from the game of football will engage in […]
Read More Dryden on the FreeflowThe last time I gave an update on things was back in the beginning of April. That feels like a long time ago. It’s just two months, but that has been a packed two months. You may have gathered that the vast majority of that time on this blog has been dedicated to continuing and […]
Read More June Check Up: A Dryden UpdateThere 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 BookIn the relatively short period of time that I have breathed the breath of life on planet earth, I have come across a number of ways and means to highlight the worth of something. Without in anyway suggesting I am at the Grandmaster level of expressing myself in the English language, I do take pleasure […]
Read More Psalm 150 – Praise Him, Praise Him!Here’s a good Psalm to pay attention to carefully. Reasons to praise God? Sure, they are there and offer strong encouragement for the readers to remember how great God is and what He does for His people. It’s all going well and then … “Two-edged swords … execute vengeance … punishments … bind with fetters […]
Read More Psalm 149 – Call To Praise … And …Heaven and earth encouraged to praise God. With good reason. Once more I like how the Psalm is set from the big picture of the universe to the smaller picture of the earth and then the more intimate picture of the relationship with a people on the earth. At every stage there’s a reason to […]
Read More Psalm 148 – All Creation Praise HimI had the great privilege of being on a road trip with some saints. As the sun set and night settled in, rather than snoozing off after an exhausting day, those saints saw it fit to sing songs to God. There were songs of adoration, songs of praise, songs proclaiming the wonders of God. In […]
Read More Psalm 147 – In AweThis is something I maintain vigorously: It is easier to say, “I love you,” than “I trust you.” I am not saying trust is better than love. I am saying that there’s no more significant expression of love than trust. That takes a lot especially as we get older and some become more wary and […]
Read More Psalm 146 – Praise the Trustworthy GodOne of the many reasons why I love this Psalm is how it shows very good reasons to praise the Lord. It’s a great exhibition of praise. It’s all based on both what the Lord has done and who the Lord is. I could run through the list and would I love to do that! […]
