In the first part of this here little story of mine I gave the historical context of driving and me. Read it once more to refresh yourself on how we find ourselves here. In the world of being a pedestrian even I can’t walk everywhere and sometimes the bus is not suitable for the requirements. […]
Read More Taking Me For A Ride – Part TwoIt’s a bit difficult being a follower of Christ, a married man, a father of three and a loner. The odd one out in the pack, funnily enough, is the loner gig. I’m growing out of it ever so slowly and ever so surely, but there are times … Anyway the reason for putting this […]
Read More DMCD Songs: He Won’t Leave You Alone – John P. Kee and NLCCThe story often referred to as the Prodigal Son is a brilliant example of what the ministry of reconciliation is all about. In that story a fair bit of credit is given to the wastrel son as he comes to his senses and realises that he could get better quality food back at his home […]
Read More RestorationI’m not in Christmas – you know that, I know that, we all know that. But I remember when I moved to Stoke-on-Trent coming across the album version of this song and I realised I didn’t have to compromise my stance on Christmas to enjoy a good Christmas song with a great sentiment and of […]
Read More Jon Gibson – About A New BirthWait for it. No seriously, you’ll still have to wait for it. If you told me that I would have been putting a four part series on monitoring Authrine’s condition then I would have laughed in your face. (Although if you’d have told me it would have got that many more views on the blog […]
Read More How’s Authrine Watch – Part FourI’ve been banging on about faithfulness fairly often this year and I guess for good reason. In a time when everything dear to me has been put up for grabs and uncertainty is the only certain thing in my life, appreciating the quality of faithfulness and how I often fail but can succeed at it. […]
Read More Let’s Stay TogetherI remember from a very early age singing a hymn called Count Your Blessings. Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. As ever with the hymns that are sung time and time again from childhood […]
Read More My GratitudeRecently I did the quarterly review of the kind of stuff that’s been published over at the over place. As I mentioned in that report though, whereas that blog is an open access blog with a lot of stuff easily accessible to people interested in the things I am, this here blog, the older blog, […]
Read More State of the Blog Address: Jan-Mar – DMCDI often wonder about real love. I listen to stories of relationships where people have been used and abused and they’ve stuck around longer than is healthy because of love. A love they have for the person and a love they perceive is reciprocated in some bizarre fashion by the one claiming to love them. […]
Read More Everlasting Love – Cece WinansComing from a Sabbath-keeping church tradition and then seeing things from a different perspective, it’s sometimes shameful seeing some of the conduct that we maintain in that tradition. One of them that’s particularly shameful is on a typical Sabbath service at the end of the morning study and the moderator/superintendent looks to give a welcome […]
