This blog entry was written yesterday. A fair bit of preparation has gone into today’s proceedings, there’s the highlighting of the previous blog I wrote on this very subject. Earlier on today I posted the first musical tribute about today based on my heart’s desire and then around lunchtime I also put together another musical […]
Read More Thank God For MarriageToday is the seventh year wedding anniversary of the marriage of Authrine Elizabeth Burton and Christopher Luketon John Dryden. That marriage has been based on a love supreme. (So why didn’t I put that track on, eh? Wait for it.) that love is one that goes beyond affection and domestic bliss. It has lead to […]
Read More Charge It To My Head – CommissionedThe sentiments of this song strike the chord of the message that I’d love people to get from me in my engagement with them, that in the light of the love of Jesus that has made my life what it is that it’s worth getting to know Him for yourself to discover that really you […]
Read More Can’t Live Without Jesus – Jon GibsonSkeletons in the closet. What a wonderful phrase and a concept that says so much about our tendency to not be completely transparent about who we are. It doesn’t have to be anything major, but it’s enough for us to store it away in the hope that no one will ever choose to investigate that […]
Read More Skeletons in the ClosetYeah there’s the Jesus stuff which is very important to me. There is the church stuff, which is also very important. There are the ideas that knock around my head on other issues to talk about (for example I’m thinking about a series on All My Working Life). Yet from time to time it’s just […]

Listen to this track and resonate with the quality and the sentiments in the lyrical content that remind us again – […]
Read More Desire Of My Heart – Vanessa Bell ArmstrongFinally we complete the mini-series that I’ve been writing about the family and my developing understanding of the this crucial foundation of society. It would be useful to summarise how I came to this point with a couple of dating scenarios. In January 1990 I was a 12 year old boy whose concept of family […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Where I Am NowI told you yesterday that sometimes concepts and ideas for blog entries can come in like a flood. So for example we have the family development series yet to be completed, and I started off something yesterday about reading and writing that I’ve yet to finish off. Now for these two I already have it […]
Read More Because Who’s Worth It? My Problem With Self-EsteemWe are continuing the series on me growing journey of understanding what family is. As a recap there was the early days back in Wellingborough. I saw a wider world of family church wise when I went to Peckham during the university days. There was the dramatic shift in fortunes from the comforts of church […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Broader HorizonsThe eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honourable we bestow […]
