The sentiments of this song strike the chord of the message that I’d love people to get from me in my engagement with them, that in the light of the love of Jesus that has made my life what it is that it’s worth getting to know Him for yourself to discover that really you […]
Read More Can’t Live Without Jesus – Jon GibsonDon’t worry if you’re not into football. this is not a big footbally blog. It’s not going to be a blog entry of any significant size anyway, because I’ve got some ‘family ministry’ to do. I’ve been banging on a bit about family life and one element that has been interesting in my family fortunes […]
Read More The Role Of Football In The Dryden FamilyYeah there’s the Jesus stuff which is very important to me. There is the church stuff, which is also very important. There are the ideas that knock around my head on other issues to talk about (for example I’m thinking about a series on All My Working Life). Yet from time to time it’s just […]
Read More Just Free-BloggingFinally 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 NowI may have mentioned previously that part of May day’s explosion of getting paid included the purchase of Marvin Winans’ album.

Today though, I was reflecting on the nature of friends as I was looking to update me Facebook page. My relationship with Facebook has been interesting since I signed up to it about a year or so ago.

Read More Friends Now and ThenWe are continuing the series on me growing journey of understanding what family is. As a recap there was the early days back in Wellingborough. I saw a wider world of family church wise when I went to Peckham during the university days. There was the dramatic shift in fortunes from the comforts of church […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Broader HorizonsThis is the third in a series of blogs on the topic of my growing understanding of what family is. I started at the beginning – which has to be a first … probably. I established what family was in the formative years in my life. From there I went onto talk about the radical […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Living With The LawrencesYou should know by now, that I’m one to interrupt things just when the flow is on the go. So we’re enjoying the whole family feel and there’s more things to say on the subject, but something happened today that meant a little bit of a change to the flow. It’s still to do with […]
Read More Sometimes It Can Be Too LateI like the terms fiction and non-fiction. I like the two terms because when I think of the word story, I know people might be prone to think that what they’re about to hear isn’t true and is only told for the moral virtue in the story. What fiction and non-fiction allow us to remember […]
