A mother’s love gets a lot of hype in our society. The balance is wrong I think. In as much as the nurturing love of a mother is important to a baby’s healthy upbringing, my reading on the situation was that it required both the father and the mother. Neglecting one and heightening the role […]
Read More Love To My MotherI am thoroughly enjoying the series on insights from Matthew, and although it appears as though I’m behind schedule with the chapters, trust me when I tell you it is all in hand and come Monday 28th February, it will be alright and all complete. It gives me sufficient time, however to address something that scandalously […]
Read More Remembering My BaptismDeborah Dryden, my firstborn, is 6 years old today. Birthdays are a great time to celebrate God’s goodness in life and act as a milestone to measure just how far we’ve come and how to still make it is a tribute to God’s grace. For example I was reflecting the other day how gospel legend […]
Read More Deborah At SixI am surrounded by amazing people. Just when I get all introspective and think that I’m going through this life thing on my own, God reminds me of some crucial people in my circle of influence without whom I wouldn’t even be in the privileged position of being able to mope around being all introspective.

I needed somewhere to express my gratitude to God for his life and here seemed to be the best place. The years in which […]
Read More Goodbye Grandad – Tribute To My PatriarchThis is the last in a three part blog series today reviewing the state of my being as I turn 33. It obviously makes sense then that reviewing a year of three’s and how it’s been all about that number that I do a three part series. Following the look at how life has been […]
Read More The State of DMCD Address – Part ThreeYes indeed, to repeat something that’s been mentioned one or two times today (maybe even three if we want to be technical) it is my birthday. I have a Facebook account and it was pleasant to read those who’d left a comment on there regarding the birthday and seeing the names of those who did […]
Read More The State of DMCD Address – Part OneSo it’s my brother’s 32nd birthday today and it’s an honour and pleasure to celebrate such a significant step in his life’s journey. It’s also fitting to start his day with something he put together himself – as in wrote the song, performed the instruments, sang all the parts and compiled, edited and produced the […]
Read More Where He’s Coming From – All GloryToday I was thinking about what it is to be blessed. Some people would look at the list of good stuff going for me and think I’m lucky. A loving, loyal and devoted wife, three beautiful, healthy and intelligent girls, a roof over my head, a fair-paying job using the best of my skills, modern […]
