I 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 […]
Read More Returning to the Power of the StorySo yeah I’ve got the laptop back and it’s not as though there’s a drought of ideas or words to reignite the ol’ blogging quest and stuff. It’s just that at present getting things back in the order is taking a bit longer than expected because of the new context in which this blogging season […]
Read More Readjusting and RenegotiatingQuite a bit to say in the blog at this time, but what I want to start off with is a big thank you to God. On the one hand, I really did miss regular blogging and internet activity and me own laptop. I liked the level of regularity I’d built up over the months […]
Read More To My DadI’m not writing this LIVE. When it comes to a Friday evening, sometimes I just prefer to do what it says on the tin (my tin, not yours, it works for me, doesn’t have to for you) and just rest. It’s the end of a working week, it’s a time to relax in the knowledge […]
Read More Oh Yeah That Moving ThingHuge thanks to my sister for sending this recommendation my way.

Read More Safe and Sound(He looks left to see if there’s any emails not yet sent that might get in his way – none there. He looks right to see if any great gospel artists have passed on deserving a special tribute – none there. It is safe to blog and so he begins …) There is a convention […]
Read More I’m Packing UpThe Dryden family have visited the other Dryden family in Milton Keynes over the weekend. We needed to stop over to come back to Little Hulton last night. So that’s a weekend and a Monday and it’s not the first time we’ve done that, but there was definitely something different about this visit. Quite a […]
Read More All DisorientedI was just informed by my sister recently that my Aunt Nalda has died. She was suffering for quite a while so in one sense it’s the end of the suffering, on the other hand though, more importantly, someone in the family has died. My mum’s sister has died. Life is for the living. Life […]
Read More For The Living – In Times Of ConsolationNot going to be long with you at all just putting in a post thanking God for taking me through the first half of the year.
