Usually I prefer the understated, reserved and contained approach to matters. Rather than look for a raucous laugh by a loud suggestion I prefer the power of the quip, just slip it in the middle of a regular sentence to elicit a wry chuckle to those who pick it up or that little groan by […]
Read More Gratitude – Being ExtraI’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 BirthSo I was there minding my own business, just got home from seeing the wife for another day. She was scheduled to be going to the delivery suite but like the second coming of the Messiah no one knew the hour that this would take place. Yet no sooner had I settled down to some […]
Read More How’s Authrine And the BabySo following last week’s enjoyable journey down memory lane, we have another nostalgic reminiscence of some of the what is now to be considered as old school gospel choir style stuff. Except, this isn’t exactly the mould breaking stuff that all the choirs sought to emulate. Sure they sang the song, but when folks over […]
Read More Speak to Me Lord Jesus – Kirk FranklinWait 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 FourThis song means so much to me on so many levels. Just knowing that Jesus Christ came died and rose again to redeem me from sin is truly overwhelming. To know that the story goes on to see me reunited with the divine family and eternally live with them surpasses words in description. I am […]
Read More Keith Green – There Is A RedeemerIn this extended update on what’s going with Authrine we have indepth analysis into everything that’s been going on in her situation. Nothing. All that to say things are scheduled to be kicking off real soon, indeed it has to because of the timing of things and what the medical experts have said on the […]
Read More How’s Authrine Watch – Part ThreeI’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 TogetherOK from the top, this is not what you’ve been waiting for. The popping has not taken place … yet. Here’s how it all went down. Mrs Dryden, in the hospital scheduled to be delivering over the initial 24 hours since she was admitted to hospital. Well that didn’t work out despite some contractions on […]
Read More How’s Authrine Watch – Part TwoI 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 […]
