I interrupt the regular stream of blog posts that have been going up like clock-work at 20:10 every day for quite some time (almost as if I had pre-arranged it …) to report on some changes. Now you’re aware that this is quite a busy season for changes for me over the last few months […]
Read More Important Changes To Note!I’ve been outlining where I go from here and did so on the basis that God is one who gives direction and to receive it requires humility and excitement in the knowledge that life isn’t aimless and pure drudgery. In the last entry I also shared some of my hopes about where my writing goes from here […]
Read More Where Do I Go From Here? Beyond TextSo yesterday gave the basis of how important it is to realise that whatever happens in life, it is important not to be presumptuous but likewise to seek guidance and direction in knowing there is somewhere I’m meant to be going. This brings me back to the issue of where I am now, where do I […]
Read More Where Do I Go From Here? TextSo where are we now? The first entry of the year gave a good indication that things would be new in a lot of different areas in life. Stepping into this new was not straightforward and some indication of how to get there began with an ongoing awareness of God in all of life which formed the […]
Read More Where Are We Now?I don’t usually do blog entries about other people … alright I often do blog entries about other people, but I don’t often do blog entries about where I work. (There see you can’t get me now!) Today’s a very special day in my time working for the North Staffordshire Young Men’s Christian Association as […]
Read More To The North Staffs YMCA FamilyI was having a laugh at my sister’s text message today. She was saying how proud we Drydens are of being so humble! My sister is funny and that humour has been a source of much comfort and humour in our time growing up and when things aren’t always working out, it’s brilliant to have […]
Read More Think On These ThingsAnother reason why I’m not too taken up with people’s engaging of the New Year festivities is because in most cases it is a pretty superficial event. Sentiments are given about how much we hope it’s a happy one, resolutions are rustled up, but even by the end of the month they are soon forgotten. […]
Read More Out With The OldAs much as I want to ignore the goings on of this particular time of year I don’t need to on this occasion – it plays into my favour. My dad was never one for these kinds of thing – not a party man, not one for the big festivities and all that kind of […]
Read More Another Step On The JourneyFor some reason when I thought of the title for today’s blog I was thinking about a fruit juice that I think was called the same name because it had five different fruits that contributed to the juice. I’m not sure if it’s still around or if it’s been taken off the market. It would […]
Read More Five AliveAs I’ve noted before I’ve just suffered for the umpteenth time the fact that me hard drive has been corrupted seeing the end of a lot of work over 2009 and usually bringing on a season of mourning and great sadness. It did cause considerable inconvenience over the time I was without it and I […]
