Children 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 DadI wanted to post the version of this song that Andrae Crouch did on his brilliant Finally album. Alas I could not find it (the search continues, though and if you find it, let me know). These will do, though. I love this version for the mellow chilled out beginning. I remember one of the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: My Tribute (To God Be The Glory) – Andrae and IsraelOne of the beautiful things about end of year shin-digs is the opportunity it gives you to reflect on the year that was. Last night’s blog post was very important for me to write to encourage myself more than anyone, and thus in as much as I write in the hope that others will be […]
Read More Giving Thanks For What Went On BeforeTime waits for no man (OK other than Joshua, but that was a one off. Alright, so Hezekiah got a bligh as well … but in general it waits for no man). No sooner am I getting over the introduction to responsible adulthood than I’m inducted in the enjoyment of marital bliss. No sooner am […]
Read More Deborah Dryden – Seven Years Old TodayIn the month of November I got back into chess. I used to love chess when I was a lot younger. I have not played for a while, but I got back into playing. As I got back into that I also picked up a book about chess genius Bobby Fischer. There was a documentary […]
Read More Thankful For NovemberI love Twitter especially following people who tweet regularly with quality stuff more often than not. One of those who fit this like a glove fits a hand is called Kevin Bond who has an extensive portfolio of gospel albums and evidently knows how to tweet. He does a series of shout-outs to people and […]
Read More Word Of Thanks To The Men And WomenIn April 2010 God in His infinite grace and wisdom granted onto my wife and I a third daughter. At that time on this blog I paid tribute to taxi drivers. Now in November 2011 … No, no more daughters, but time to give thanks for another servant of transport. I believe I got into […]
Read More Thank You Bus DriverAs I understand it, yesterday was a celebration of All Saints according to church tradition. Of course those of you in my age group will think that it is a celebration of an all-girl pop/RnB group know for among other things slowing down the tune to Amazing Grace and putting some sort of ballad groove […]
Read More Thanks To All (the) SaintsI have been reliably informed that Monday is the worst day of the week. This I am also informed is because the weekend is over and so it’s back to work. I don’t subscribe to that view. Wednesday is the worst day of the week. Just saying. One of the reasons for not having a […]
Read More Thank God For WorkMy youngest daughter bounded toward the child protection gate and jigged up and down with power and zest and the world’s most adorable smile. So full of life, so full of joy. That God would grant me an opportunity to see her grow was so marvellous to me. To see her as well as her […]
