It Started With Columbo … At home with the Drydens is an interesting place to be. It is the environment from which most of these blog entries … these type of blog entries are often inspired. We are not addicted to the television – there are so many more things for us to be getting […]
Read More Killing You Softly – Why Do We Commit Murder?That Bible, eh. It is a good book isn’t it? OK it is a volume that is a collection of books. Still good though. This morning’s post on Jesus as the Bread of Life was, as with the others, something that came out of hours of meditation, deliberation and contemplation. I’m not so swiftly inspired […]
Read More So Jesus, What Have You Done For Me Lately?The assumptions we make, eh. It’s like every now and then certain things that I take for granted crop up and challenge me to rethink whether or not it’s worth accepting. Often the case is that it is worth accepting on amended terms. Sometimes the case is that they are not to be accepted at […]
Read More Expect Respect?It is very difficult to be a follower of Jesus Christ and not be an irritant to your culture. Some succeed in not being a full-blown offence to those around them, but most in one or shape or form make those who live in their culture rather uncomfortable. This is not a deliberate ploy to […]
Read More Upsetting the Status QuoDeborah, my beloved first-born, asked me recently why she would have to be quiet after break today (Thursday). I thought that was a bit of an odd question to ask until my wife helped me understand that it was Remembrance Day with the poppies and the things related to it. When that finally clicked, it […]
Read More Always Remember: Keep This In MindFrom time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
Read More Community of Compassion or Community of Hypocrisy?I am a blogger. I’ve been a blogger since the end of 2005. I’ve taken the blogging even more seriously over the last year or so. I like blogs. Blogs are like people – they have a voice, they have an opinion, they have an idea and they have a variety of creative ways of […]
Read More Thank You For The Benefit Of Your IgnoranceI’m not in a tricky position, but I am in an interesting scenario that I reckon one or two people might understand. I’m working for a training organisation that respects equal opportunities and celebrates diversity in no way looking to enforce one view over another (although even that is enforcing the false view of not […]
Read More Anything Wrong With Person-Centred Counselling?I’m currently in between jobs and to bring that era to an end I recently had an interview for a post. On my journey there I was reflecting on different things and my mind came onto again the sin condition. I think it’s really sad that this language is only used among certain people with […]
Read More I Digress – The Sin Condition: Prone To WanderYou shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s. (Ex. 20:17) Some people can never be satisfied. Their quest for glory seems to be unremitting. No sooner has one accomplishment […]
