I saw this picture recently and couldn’t help thinking of my daughters. Deborah is still that verbose and is picking up a wider vocabulary with each passing book she reads. Abigail may not be as dexterous verbally but she knows how to use her ‘cute’ looks and sheer force of nature to convince her parents […]
Read More The Baby EvangelistMy youngest daughter bounded toward the child protection gate and jigged up and down with power and zest and the world’s most adorable smile. So full of life, so full of joy. That God would grant me an opportunity to see her grow was so marvellous to me. To see her as well as her […]
Read More A Little Reminder Of GraceJust enough time to share a word of thanksgiving to God for the birth of the second daughter of the Dryden Family Abigail Elizabeth Danielle. Today she celebrated five years on the planet. Those years have not been easy for her and the last one in particular has seen her endure quite a lot. Through […]
Read More Celebrating the Life of Awesome AbigailThe issue about prayers is not just about asking for things as one particular point will highlight and it’s a good time to remind you that Prayer-Points Plus is still on the way with answers to prayers. For the time being, though here are thus weeks points for prayer. Abigail’s Trying Season I am always […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110212)Due to the nature of this blog, it’s not always clear what actually is going on in my life at any one time. I’ll have a thought about something, I’ll create a series about something else and only occasionally will the actual substance of significant aspects of my life emerge. That’s not a bad thing […]

It was my birthday month and me birthday itself was alright – thanks again to those who remarked on it on me Facebook wall. I managed to get back to Stoke-on-Trent for the first time particularly since I moved to Bletchley. […]
Read More Loving Jesus in DecemberThis is the last in a three part blog series today reviewing the state of my being as I turn 33. It obviously makes sense then that reviewing a year of three’s and how it’s been all about that number that I do a three part series. Following the look at how life has been […]
Read More The State of DMCD Address – Part ThreeI love my daughters. One of the things I love doing is sharing with them a little story before they pray and go to sleep. I don’t always read from a book, sometimes I enjoy making up stories for them to get involved with and engage with. Deborah as the oldest is getting into them […]
Read More In The BeginningWhen I read back on some of the things I’ve said in this blog, I recognise that I can run the risk of sounding rather pompous, long-winded, pious and talking out of particular orifice not created for conversation. I really don’t take myself too seriously though, however ‘deep’ or ‘heavy’ some of these posts tend […]
Read More Being DadI believe I’ve mentioned the power of story before, but very recent events bring me back to it. In as much as I’ve been a part of a family before – after all I grew up with my brother, sister, mother and father – I’ve never been in this position in a family before, namely […]
