Don’t worry if you’re not into football. this is not a big footbally blog. It’s not going to be a blog entry of any significant size anyway, because I’ve got some ‘family ministry’ to do. I’ve been banging on a bit about family life and one element that has been interesting in my family fortunes […]
Read More The Role Of Football In The Dryden FamilyYeah there’s the Jesus stuff which is very important to me. There is the church stuff, which is also very important. There are the ideas that knock around my head on other issues to talk about (for example I’m thinking about a series on All My Working Life). Yet from time to time it’s just […]
Read More Just Free-BloggingFinally we complete the mini-series that I’ve been writing about the family and my developing understanding of the this crucial foundation of society. It would be useful to summarise how I came to this point with a couple of dating scenarios. In January 1990 I was a 12 year old boy whose concept of family […]

Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Living With The LawrencesI’d like to thank my sister for this particular video. She made me aware of it and it is living proof that not only was I in a choir at some point in my life but for reasons known to the Lord Jesus Christ and Reuben Harris I was given the opportunity to do the […]
Read More You Should Let Go – CAMP ChoirRecently I gave a little preamble to the amble through my journey in family. (Come on, what else is a preamble there for if we’re not going for an amble, it beats going for a logue whatever that is.) Have a read to refresh yourself. Where I left it was as a 18 year old […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Pukka In PeckhamIt’s funny in a lot of ways. I mean the kind of funny that makes me chuckle whimsically and somewhat ruefully.

Read More He Ain’t Heavy …I was challenged not too long to explain the reasons for my position on the identity of Jesus Christ.
