As 2016 faces its final ten days, it’s a good time to review what has happened this year. Following the series last year, there will be a series of posts about my Year In Review (YIR) going one month at a time. January was a very interesting month for me. In retrospect I was still […]
Read More YIR16 – 01 – Starting with ExodusChildren are brilliant. A set of siblings have a unique understanding of how they operate and are able to get away with certain things because of what they can communicate between each other and then to the outside world. It’s so fascinating getting insight into their thinking and their dynamic. I was watching a set […]
Read More Contrition, Confession, Repentance and Thanks For NovemberThanks. The expression of gratitude is a great habit to practice and when it comes to birthdays it’s an even better time to put that habit to good effect. I Was There I have little to no great recollection of where I was about this time last year. In general, however, I know that I […]
Read More I Was There, I Am Here, I’m Going SomewhereFor the past few entries I have had the opportunity to explore the letter to the Ephesians. That’s been a great exploration and as I mentioned I am looking to work on the findings from the study and share those developments as they happen here.

Read More Dryden Notes November 2016 Part 1I love me some October. It’s a great month. It’s the official end of any hope of summer lingering.

Read More Hello October: Dryden Thinks Out LoudJust some things that came to mind recently: The way we do things, is not the way things have always been done. Some of us worship the practice of the singing and dancing in that section of church services referred to as ‘praise and worship’. It’s not easy returning to something that was the cause […]
Read More Some Short ReflectionsTrue story. I don’t like the month of August. Mainly because it’s a summer month and I am not a fan of summer. Meeting Authrine remains one of the greatest things to happen to me in my life and marrying her was also a remarkable decision. In doing so it so happened that August would […]
Read More Grateful for AugustSomeone sent a message to me that the month should be about Ask Until God Unveils Something Tangible. I thought it was inspired and shared it with close friends and family. Thinking about it further and talking about it with my firstborn daughter, it was also clear that that mindset could lead into a healthy […]
Read More About August As An AcronymI was thinking recently that it must have been a pastor who thought that Paul’s letter to Titus was a pastoral letter. Reading chapter two, in as much as I can see the pastoral element and instruction, this heart of the letter which can also be seen in the building up in the previous chapter, […]
Read More Specialist Subject – Thinking Out LoudAnother day another month. Half of 2016 has already elapsed and it has been an intriguing first half ofof the year. There has been a lot to be thankful for – a good marriage, healthy growing children, great supporting network of friends who motivate and inspire. The blog has proven to be a great outlet […]
