Recently I was reminded that the basis of good living is to know it, live it and teach others to do the same. Reflecting on any progress I’ve made in life, I’ve noticed these have tended to take place when I’m in the company of others who mean to progress. As they live it and […]
Read More Know It Live ItWhoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. (Proverbs 28:13) Growing up, I was very accustomed to a culture of concealment. People showed what they wanted to show to keep up appearances. In church gatherings people had no problems doing the praises and hand waving and all that stuff. […]
Read More Confess Or ConcealIt seems like a long time since I posted a personal update on this my personal blog. So I’m delighted to take some time to update you on things. First of all, I’m delighted to say that I am doing well health-wise. In the second half of February I had some brief skirmishes with flu […]
Read More Dryden Update – MarchJesus and the Pharisees. It’s fair to say they were not the best of friends. It’s also fair to say Jesus did not have a problem expressing what his problem was with the Pharisees. Get this though. Why did Jesus spend so much words and efforts on folks evidently hell-bent on seeing Him as a […]

In fact so assured was he that he was even able to suggest strongly that all his audience had hoped for was summed up in Him. He even had the boldness to state that the […]
Read More Something GreaterJesus says things simply. Jesus does not say simple things. Some people can rightly be accused of trying to bamboozle others with jargon ans fancy words. Some think that a sign of being educated is saying big words. Jesus astounded witnesses because He evidently didn’t go to the same school as religious rulers, yet the […]
Read More Shining LightJohn D. Baptist was very brave. I mean who eats locusts? And honey? Who does that? But there is John having them as his diet. I wonder if he had Locust Pies? Locust Fillet? Pomme du Locusts? It’s a tough diet, but the brother stuck to it to his credit. So it’s got to take […]
Read More Do ItPaul’s Brief Chat Acts 20:7-12 is amazing and hilarious. It’s obviously very important to Paul to share with the brethren at this location. It’s so important that Paul, after having something to eat, tucks into the word he has to share. My favourite verse is 9 which introduces us to Eutychus. He falls into a […]
Read More TimeGod created a world at peace. Everything about the set-up and framework of the creation order was about harmony. A beautiful interdepedence of species and organisms that got an entire ecological system moving even more gloriously than a brilliant choral and orchestral arrangement. Indeed the music we created was a reflection of the harmony of […]
