The Holiday Report

Well as someone who hasn’t read the Bible has said, all good things must come to an end. That is definitely the case for my holidays as tomorrow sees me return to work.  School also kicks off again so there’s all the fun for the children as well. The Hols – In The Beginning It’s […]

Looking Ahead

On the one hand I’m not into New Years Resolutions. Anything worth planning for or resolving is something that should be part of every day life, so I have no recollection of any New Year’s resolution I’ve ever made and I have no recollection of making any in the last year or so. On the […]

Thanking God for 2010

I was sorely tempted to run a series of posts this evening, but I thought otherwise, because on a day like today, it’s all about relaxing. There is still enough time to reflect on the year 2010 and without going into great detail my recollections are as follows: January: Having moved to Little Hulton at […]

Deborah At Six

Deborah 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 […]

[…]

Loving Jesus in December

I am really grateful to God for November. Overall, it was a good month.  It was my birthday month and me birthday itself was alright – thanks again to those who remarked on it on me Facebook wall.  I managed to get back to Stoke-on-Trent for the first time particularly since I moved to Bletchley.

Be Still My Soul

So, recently it was my Dad who was getting props for how his example influenced my faith and allowed me to take prayer that bit more seriously.  At this time I now think of my mother as I listen to this song. There is the tendency to worry.  Doesn’t take much to see why – […]

Sweet Hour of Prayer

You 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 […]
