My brother, David, celebrates the birth of his third child. It’s significant to me for a this reason: Our Dad also had the blessing of three children in his household. As you may be aware I also have three children. So David being the father of three children wraps up the Dryden hat-trick of hat-tricks! Dad, David […]
Read More Dad, David and I – A Story Of Three’sJealousy is such a strange feeling. In my upbringing I never saw my parents jealous. They didn’t need to be jealous of each other, their relationship appeared rock solid.

(Authrine gives CD The Look.) What I love about our relationship at the moment, however, is the freedom for us to express ourselves and for us to react emotionally at first […]
Read More Grateful For … (7)It’s one of my favourite days in the year. It’s the day that my brother celebrates his birthday. Some people think I get a bit over emotional and sentimental about David. Some reckon I should stop it with all the words lauding and applauding him, he is after all just a man, he is not […]
Read More Ten Things I Admire About David DrydenThanksgiving is a beautiful thing. Truly a beautiful and wonderful thing. Today has been a great example of that. I have had the privilege of working under a particular organisation over the last year or so. These folks have been brilliant. They’ve helped me experience what it is to be kinda self-employed and working as […]
Read More Celebrating God in the Beauty of OthersMissed me? Yeah I missed you too. Since the move, I’ve not had a proper net access for online for me laptop where I prefer blogging, so I’ve had to endure an enforced leave of absence of regular blogging. This entry is being composed from my brother’s crib in Milton Keynes. By the way speaking […]
