So as you know it was me birthday the other day and what a wonderful time it was too. Of course, because of the huge personality I am, not all the presents and goodies could be received on that day and one of the big deals that me loving family put together was a chance […]
Read More Having A Feast Of FunMy Dad went to work five days a week, helped in organising and officiating services for another of those days and would also help out with the Sunday evening services. As well as that he was married and had responsibilities for one daughter and two sons. At the time growing up I certainly didn’t appreciate […]

Read More Message To Me WifeIn my opinion it is by no means his best song and that it was so popular is still something of a mystery to me. For all that I don’t begrudge the fact that Stevie Wonder’s biggest single was called ‘I Just Called To Say I Love You’. The lyrics are interesting in as much […]
Read More Being In LoveTrawling through the archives I discover I can neither have a title that says ‘He Ain’t Heavy‘ because that was taken. Neither can I have a title ‘He’s My Brother‘ because that’s taken. I cannot even have a title called ‘Man After God’s Heart‘ because that has been taken as well!! So for the time […]
Read More Oh BrotherI 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.

Their firstborn together was the daughter and today she celebrates her birthday. Another year on the planet for my big sister, Ruth Dryden. There was a time when I resented my sister. […]
Read More My Big SisterMy youngest child is not quite 18 months. She can walk and she can climb. (Can she ever climb!) She is not quite coherent in talking, but she can give indication noises and can utter some words. One of those words is ‘Dad’. I have two other daughters who are able to say that word […]
Read More DadWhen God speaks, what does He mean? Not what I think He means, but what His actual meaning is and His intent, can we ever know? My brother’s spiritual journey is very different to my own, but this series is fascinating to consider. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More What Did The Authority Mean?My 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 […]
