They told us that we were celebrating the crystal anniversary. Obviously that got me asking the question: What is a crystal? Meanwhile, what makes this anniversary particularly special is that this will be the only time we celebrate the year of our wedding on the date number. We thought about what we could do to […]
Read More Year Fifteen – What’s A Crystal?We are into May now. No doubt about it. Sure, the first week is still here, but if we needed any more doubt that April is over it’s the mere fact that here in Britain it’s the May Day Bank Holiday weekend that goes from here to Monday. Three days off work. Apparently it’s a […]
Read More Dryden May UpdateOur family is privileged to live in a house which has a fairly spacious lounge area. There are a few sofas and it get really cosy and snug even though it’s spacious. I love spending time there with my children and my wife. Sometimes I love it when it’s just my wife and I. Recently […]

My initial reaction to that was, obviously no one was paying attention to what had been going on in the previous 39 years.

Read More Now Where Do I Begin?It’s an honour to have parents. Love is not about having warm feelings inside and feeling all gooey at the thought of the one we love.

Read More The Greatest Commandment (8): Giving Honour Where It’s DueThere’s a bit of a run going with the series of entries of recent weeks. That run will continue in the coming days. It’s worth just putting in a brief word here to give an update on how things are with me. First up, it’s worth thanking God that life for me at the moment […]
Read More Hello November – A Dryden UpdateImagine that you and I are seated in the front room. We’re in those couches are armchairs designed to help you relax.
