I used to love splashing in puddles. Big or small, it used to be fun to see it and then think about what I would do with the upcoming puddle. Would it be a running launch and two-footed splash? Would it be a sly one-foot splash to wet someone else? Oh puddles were such fun. […]
Read More Loving Puddles AgainEarlier in this look at Matthew I had the temerity to suggest that Jesus could get angry and it would not be in our best interests to be on the receiving end when Jesus is angry. I had to read it several times to begin to consider the level of charges that Jesus makes to […]
Read More Insights From Matthew – On The Flipside Of The WoesDMCD and The Reading Plan There is this really healthy spiritual exercise that brothers and sisters in Christ apply through the calendar year and that is to go through the Bible in a year. The scriptures are arranged in such a way so as to ensure all 66 books are covered in the 365 days. […]
Read More What Is The Deal With A Reading Plan?So Jesus is the Teacher, and as the Teacher there should be some lessons that I’m learning from Him. Every day there are lessons to learn … but I’m not always aware of them. After a certain period of time, though, I do become aware of some lessons to be learnt over that time. For […]
Read More It Doesn’t Really MatterJesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” (John 1:38) Teachers.

Read More Jesus Is … The TeacherI love words. That’s not the first time I’ve said that and it won’t be the last. It is hopefully something that is fairly obvious from this here blog which is driven by them as well as the Other Place. In as much as I wouldn’t class myself as a high intellectual, I acknowledge that […]
Read More The Word In The Flesh – Not On PaperI am still on an enforced sabbatical from blogging and am slipping this one through the net by means of good resources. I am hopeful that this enforced sabbatical will come to a close sooner rather than later, but I cannot say when that will be and just ask that you continue to hold on […]
Read More Just and OnlyDon’t worry if you’re not into football. this is not a big footbally blog. It’s not going to be a blog entry of any significant size anyway, because I’ve got some ‘family ministry’ to do. I’ve been banging on a bit about family life and one element that has been interesting in my family fortunes […]
Read More The Role Of Football In The Dryden FamilyI’ve always been asking questions since I can remember. And usually the reason for the questions are for answers. (Sometimes I ask to be awkward and make other people work hard or put people off questions. Hey, it does its job.) I want to know answers so that I can know what to do with […]
Read More MTP01 From The BeginningThere’s quite a lot to consider in teaching those from the post-compulsory age (i.e. post 16). No wonder some go crackers when you consider the level of paperwork involved. In fact there is so much involved I wouldn’t be surprised if teachers are responsible for most of the trees decimated. It is understandable to some […]
