I don’t keep a daily diary of my activities. Sometimes I wish I did. Though I don’t keep a daily diary I am grateful for Evernote where I have kept occasional notes of what’s going on with me at intervals. That has helped me seen just how much has happened this year. It has been […]
Read More YIR15 – 01 – First TimeThe year is nearly over. This time of year is good for reviewing what has happened, what could have happened and where it’s brought me. I look forward to sharing some of the episodes that have made this year another significant one in the coming entries. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Countdown to Year EndOne moment we are helping vulnerable people who find themselves fleeing the effects of violence and oppression. The next moment we enact decisions that will bring about more violence and oppression. One moment the sight of those dying of malnutrition galvanises us to supply whatever we can to improve their situation. The next moment we […]
Read More No Wonder We Need So Much HelpThere is truth. What that truth is makes for fascinating exploration. As that takes place people chip in with their findings and the consequences of that to life. Some perspectives may differ and because they differ some find them contradictory, but a closer inspection uncovers the deeper reality that rather than contradictory, they can at […]
Read More PerspectivesIt’s a challenge to say that there are certain things that are right or wrong absolutely.

It happens in all spheres of life including church. In it all is […]
Read More Grace and HolinessThe world is upside down. Sometimes it feels that way. It feels messed up and in disarray and all I am doing is putting a brave face as the mess gets messier. In the middle of this Jesus does not come in and say it’s all calm. On the contrary, His Kingdom mission heavily disrupts […]
Read More ChangeRecently I have been reminded of how it’s worth reviewing a term or phrase so that it doesn’t always trigger a negative connotation. Take the word ‘judgment’. I am sure a number of people would literally like to do that. This is usually because of the bad rep the word has. Judgment – a decision […]
Read More It’s Not All BadI have never read the book, watched a film or otherwise completed any sort of media about The Invisible Man. But I am a big fan of the concept. There’s a question that’s asked in the circles I frequent about which ‘super power’ would you want if you could have any. After joking that I […]
Read More Inspired By The Invisible ManApparently, I heard it said, that Marvin received the news that made him just about to lose his mind on the grapevine. The concept of the grapevine remains a very rich one in my understanding. That whole web of intrigue and gossip feeds a frenzy of misinformation and manipulation to people far and near, related […]
Read More The Grapevine vs The True VineI love the phrase life is full of swift transitions. I was debating if that’s really true. Then I had a conversation with a friend who informed me that a mutual acquaintance who used to be the in-person in certain church circles was now not so loved because of some trifling matter. As it affected […]
