It is out in the open then. Once again the Drydens are on the move. This blog started in 2005 back on Blogger and in the seven years since it’s begun I have lived in five different houses! Five! In the first 18 years of my life I lived in just two properties. Times have […]
Read More No Turning BackMy introduction to the Bible was through the Old Testament. When I was a child I read aspects of the Old Testament like a story.

Read More Learning From History: We Want One To Rule Over Us (But Not That One)The eye that mocks a father, that scorns an aged mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures.

Read More Never Go BackThis 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 […]
Read More OriginsThis is Chris Evans. You may know of him. You may not know of him. His profession is known as a radio disc jockey. That can also be referred to as a radio broadcaster, or a presenter for the audio medium known as radio. I was interested in radio when I was a younger lad, […]
Read More About That Hero …I’m currently in between jobs and to bring that era to an end I recently had an interview for a post. On my journey there I was reflecting on different things and my mind came onto again the sin condition. I think it’s really sad that this language is only used among certain people with […]
Read More I Digress – The Sin Condition: Prone To WanderI have heard it said that we live in a country that at least used to be a Christian country.
