I have not looked at the midpoint of the year so intently before. Time has tended to pass by and I have only tended to reflect and consider things at the year’s end. The reason why this is different, however, is probably down to a different intentionality to the year. So from the end of […]
Read More Working It Out – Dryden July UpdateIf you browse through this blog you will not find many photos of me. That’s because I don’t like posting photos of myself. Primarily because I don’t see the need. So it takes much for me to voluntarily do so. The two human beings on the left are two people I have a great deal […]
Read More A Couple of ThingsI was having a conversation with a very good and dear friend. We were talking about necessary changes and moves in life. Among the things I love and respect about this friend is his passion and commitment to God being the gospel. He spoke some good words to me about that focus, which reminded me […]
Read More TimelyThere are many things my parents wanted for me, but one thing that they didn’t want for me was for me to be the star of the show. They expressed this desire by living lives committed to supporting others from behind the scenes. They made it look really cool to be supporting folks and seeing […]

They’re an insight into how creation really is a work of art as well as a work from the heart. I was having a conversation with a dear friend of mine. She shared her heart to be responsive to God in […]
Read More Journeyman Journal: God and His Works of ArtThere is this thing some of us do to protect people. We don’t tell them everything. Now what is true is this – people don’t need to know everything. They don’t. It is not for them to know each and every aspect of everything we have ever done. That, however, is not what is really […]
Read More Things In The Dark Come Out In The LightIf I were to challenge some to think of a time in scripture when people were told to bow and some resisted, one of the first incidents people would refer to, would be the occasion when Daniel’s three friends – Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah – refused to bow to the image of Nebuchadnezzar.

Read More No Compromise: You Ain’t BowingOK a brief football reference, then I will move right on, honest. So, Wayne Rooney is the leading goalscorer for his club, Manchester United and his country.
