No 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-WayThis entry is simple. Yesterday was my brother David’s birthday. My parents only gave me one brother. My heavenly Father gave me some others who are brilliant men. Yet David remains my number one brother, and number one man. God bless Him. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More For My First BrotherWhen you read the title, you might be forgiven in thinking that my sister has passed away. Thankfully that is not the case. I am just a big fan in paying tribute to the people who have made a great impact in my life, while they are still alive to read it. Oh and of […]
Read More My Tribute to Ruth Dryden: A Model of ConsistencyAn ‘open letter’ to my Dad. Dear Dad: Hope you and Mum are well in your crib there in Jamaica.

Read More For My DadToday my beloved wife celebrates her birthday. Now today is not about looking at my marriage and how well that’s gone so far. It’s not the day also to be hailing the qualities of my beloved as a mother – there are plenty of opportunities to do that over the days, weeks and months that […]

I had the privilege of having three good men accept becoming my groomsmen […]
Read More Still Crazy After All These YearsI love how God works. In my eyes I dedicated my life to my wife in April 2002. We then had two engagement services (one for her people, one for my people … who happened to be her people as well, just because that’s how she stays) – the first in August, the second in […]
Read More Celebrating A Birthday Of SortsTrawling through the archives I discover I can neither have a title that says ‘He Ain’t Heavy‘ because that was taken. Neither can I have a title ‘He’s My Brother‘ because that’s taken. I cannot even have a title called ‘Man After God’s Heart‘ because that has been taken as well!! So for the time […]
Read More Oh BrotherSaturday 17 July 2010. Location: Little Hulton, Greater Manchester. Everything that could be packed was packed, there was uncertainty as to whether everything would go in one trip, but there was certainty that we were moving. Again.
