There’s much to be excited about Word In, Word Out. There’s the thanks we give God for the successful launch of the series last year. There’s the way it has successfully covered the two books of Timothy and the book of James. There’s the next series we’ll embark on in Mark. That was scheduled to […]
Read More WIWO – Returns in FebruaryThe greatest day of the week is Thursday. I hope that’s established now. What makes Thursday the greatest day, among other things, is the opportunity to enjoy a treat, and what a treat it is to spend the day reflecting and considering. Reflecting on the goodness of God over a year and considering the goodness […]
Read More Dryden Update: The Way Forward is DelightI am choosing to use this entry to offer an update on how things are and how they are set to go in the immediate future. First of all, I’m grateful to God for the blog. I am grateful for the run of consistency in the blog entries, which have been able to go up […]

If that attitude lasts too long then I get to be really ratty and unpleasant to be with, like a dark cloud is ever hanging over me and a growl acts like the lightning in that stormy mood. There will be something […]
Read More Dryden Thanks 2022: ProvisionThere is a precious hymn that was rendered particularly superbly by James Moore back in the previous century (Moore’s version came in two parts – the first one here and the second one here – you get the link to hear it and enjoy it).
