Some songs I remember because they remind me of growing up. This is one of those songs. Yes it was sung in the local church, but more importantly I remember both my parents singing it with a passion and a reality that still chokes me up today. What my Mum and my Dad took as […]
Read More CD Songs: Each Step I TakeSo I started something when I considered realising potential and then I went a bit further when I explored a little about playing out of position. This is not so much the conclusion of a trilogy as an exclamation point in an ongoing paragraph of life. Most parents would understand the sentiment of wanting the […]
Read More Wanting The Best For Your Children Means Living The BestChildren are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. (Psalm 127:3-5a) Fatherhood eh. I have one good friend who is close to becoming a Dad, another who has had the privilege for a few months, […]
Read More Another Thing About Being DadMy Dad went to work five days a week, helped in organising and officiating services for another of those days and would also help out with the Sunday evening services. As well as that he was married and had responsibilities for one daughter and two sons. At the time growing up I certainly didn’t appreciate […]
Read More A Quiet Place: The Story Of My Dad’s AllotmentI grew up in a good Christian home. Two loving parents who did their best by their children and three children who did their best to get the worst out of each other, but behind which there was a bond and an affection that was really realised when we all left the family home and […]
Read More Across The BridgeOne of my favourite female vocalists – whatever genre. Gifted is an understatement. So to put that good use in this scenario is just the ticket. Also the song reminds me of the old days back in Wellingborough. It’s a song that would come from my dad’s lips on a Sunday afternoon as he comes […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Because He Lives – Kim BurrellThe other day I had a phone conversation with my Dad. Usually telephone conversations with my Dad are known for their brevity. My Dad isn’t given to much speech, and to be honest, hard though it may be to believe, neither am I. If I don’t have to talk, I won’t. I enjoy the quiet […]
Read More Why Worry – Part OneMy youngest daughter Zoë is 8 months old and as long as she is fed and changed at the appropriate times she is the very picture of contentment. She is not as sophisticated as her sisters who are now aware of the ‘treats’ economy and are already developing their own agenda for what they want […]
Read More ContentmentYou know certain songs remind you of certain places and certain times and certain people. I hear this song and I think of Wellingborough, I think of my younger teen years and I think of my Dad. Back in the day I couldn’t care less about praying. Especially prayer meetings, they were good times to […]
Read More Sweet Hour of PrayerThis may come as a shock and a surprise to you, but I can often be found thinking about things. (Yeah, there you go for the shock of the day – take your time in recovering from that.) As in contemplating them and pondering and wondering. For example today I was minding my own business […]
