Missed me? Yeah I missed you too. Since the move, I’ve not had a proper net access for online for me laptop where I prefer blogging, so I’ve had to endure an enforced leave of absence of regular blogging. This entry is being composed from my brother’s crib in Milton Keynes. By the way speaking […]
Read More Getting Used To The ChangeNo one knows how long they will live. The invincibility of youth is only pierced by the occasional reminders of mortality when the peers are cut off in their prime. Other than that it is a time for planning and achieving and being everything great without a hint that will ever end. But it will […]
Read More Reaching Half-WayChildren are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. (Psalm 127:3-5a) Fatherhood eh. I have one good friend who is close to becoming a Dad, another who has had the privilege for a few months, […]
Read More Another Thing About Being DadI wanted to post the version of this song that Andrae Crouch did on his brilliant Finally album. Alas I could not find it (the search continues, though and if you find it, let me know). These will do, though. I love this version for the mellow chilled out beginning. I remember one of the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: My Tribute (To God Be The Glory) – Andrae and IsraelOne of the beautiful things about end of year shin-digs is the opportunity it gives you to reflect on the year that was.

Read More Giving Thanks For What Went On BeforeTime waits for no man (OK other than Joshua, but that was a one off. Alright, so Hezekiah got a bligh as well … but in general it waits for no man). No sooner am I getting over the introduction to responsible adulthood than I’m inducted in the enjoyment of marital bliss. No sooner am […]
Read More Deborah Dryden – Seven Years Old TodayApparently as a song of thanksgiving I’m a bit late posting this song. Balderdash to that!! I’m right on time. I believe I’m alive and the ones I love dearly also remain in the land of the living and thus it’s a time of thanksgiving. This is a superb hymn of thanksgiving especially with the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Come Ye Thankful PeopleI don’t usually remember my dreams. Mine tend to work on the bath principle. Namely when I sleep the dream is the water that fills the bath and then as I move into the waking moments, someone has let the plug out and by the time I’m awake the dream has drained away. That is […]
Read More Never Forgetting A Good TeacherIn the month of November I got back into chess. I used to love chess when I was a lot younger. I have not played for a while, but I got back into playing. As I got back into that I also picked up a book about chess genius Bobby Fischer. There was a documentary […]
