So 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 GloryThe Psalms are usually set to music and we don’t have the music notes to hand, which is why I love it when people actually do that themselves, especially when it works like a treat. In preparation for my brother’s birthday tomorrow, it’s definitely worth taking this in – to me it is a remarkably […]
Read More Psalm 142The Dryden family have visited the other Dryden family in Milton Keynes over the weekend. We needed to stop over to come back to Little Hulton last night. So that’s a weekend and a Monday and it’s not the first time we’ve done that, but there was definitely something different about this visit. Quite a […]
Read More All DisorientedFinally we complete the mini-series that I’ve been writing about the family and my developing understanding of the this crucial foundation of society. It would be useful to summarise how I came to this point with a couple of dating scenarios. In January 1990 I was a 12 year old boy whose concept of family […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Where I Am NowIt’s funny in a lot of ways. I mean the kind of funny that makes me chuckle whimsically and somewhat ruefully.

In the world of being a pedestrian even I can’t walk everywhere and sometimes the bus is not suitable for the requirements. […]
Read More Taking Me For A Ride – Part TwoTo keep you aware, some of the posts I do have been pre-scheduled sometimes days in advance. Some of them are worked on during the day in a nice neat Word file (OK OpenOffice Writer now) then put up on here. Sometimes however, it’s just good to freestyle blog, almost as if there doesn’t have […]
Read More Just Free-StylingI won’t have time to blog properly tonight especially in continuing the fasting series although the good news is there that more material has been developed for it and I’m excited to publish it as soon as I can. Also on the good news front this is a very important week for me writing wise […]
Read More DMCD Family & FriendsWith seven days to go before my wife and I celebrate six years of marital bliss (?) my brother only goes and celebrates his marriage publicly thus raising the bar for anything I have to offer. No pressure there then. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Precious Memories – David and Nicola’s 4 Year AnniversaryHi people, Well it ain’t Chris today. I’m his brother, David. I’m here visiting my bro over the holidays. Don’t get no ideas. I don’t celebrate xmas. To be totally blunt, I hate the celebration. Added to that is the fact that I’m not christian. I’m just an “old testament” guy. I call them the […]
