A friend of mine has a really keen sense of smell. To such an extent that she is able to detect someone’s presence by the smell of a jacket they have worn. She can smell them. I know what she means. It’s not always so much about the natural body odour, but the regular smell […]
Read More Picking Up The ScentAll expenses paid. I love that aspect of work. The task needs you to spend a period of time away from home. You’ll need transport, accommodation and food covered and some might even allow something in the way of entertainment. You keep a record of what you’ve spent and as long as it’s reasonable, those […]
Read More Your Expenses Are CoveredThe way we treat people is an expression of who we are. There’s something about the customer service industry and the consumer culture that reveals the values that matter to us. As the sentiment of ‘the customer is always right’ still lingers, it prioritises the offer of giving the customer the best possible. Not only […]
Read More Serving and RespectingSeeing my daughters get into their teenage years is an interesting experience. By daughters, I mainly refer to the first two, the second of whom will hit those years at her next birthday. It’s interesting watching them because they’re good girls on the whole (as a number of parents are honour bound to say). Yet […]
Read More About Freedom To ServeFrom time to time I come across something that in the light of it, I am desirous to live in line with it. There were three episodes that made me perk up and take notice of Him again. Familiar episodes, to a degree, but always worth watching again. In the first episode, four guys ripped […]
Read More Something About Meeting Real NeedsWhat’s the point? Discouragement. They don’t turn up like they used to. The numbers are dwindling. The effort was dismal. The performance was dreadful. Maybe I’m not effective anymore. The enthusiasm is just not there anymore and perhaps I’m the one who is stopping things progressing, Maybe I don’t belong here anymore and it’s time […]
Read More Something About Start Again And Keep GoingSome people are comfortable with Jesus doing good things to people. As long as that’s all he’s doing, to a large degree he doesn’t pose a threat. Why he does pose a threat, even for those who benefit from the good things he does, is because all of those good things are indicators to a […]
Read More Ready For The MasterMy name is Christopher Dryden. I am a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying that can sound rather conceited in certain religious circles. Calling yourself a minister comes with certain expectations and perceptions derived a great deal from various traditions and cultures. So allow me to be clear in what I mean. I am […]
Read More MinisterThe character of Jesus is marked by humility. That character was marked by an activity of serving. Serving His Father and serving others. Indeed He served others for the sake of His Father and how He served others reflected His desire to be pleasing to His Father. It was a remarkable quality for the one […]
Read More Holy Habits: ServeHe is the leader, but he does not make a big deal of it and flash it around like folks are supposed to bow down when he is around. On the contrary he is eager to acknowledge the good that others do. Recognising it and encouraging it, he goes around and highlights it for the […]
