Two incidents in the space of a week has me thinking again about how we should remember people. Former radio and television personality and charity worker Jimmy Saville, who died a year ago, has not been accused of a number of incidents of sexually inappropriate behaviour. The charges and allegations have caused quite a stir […]
Read More How Should We Remember People?October is a significant month for the Dryden family. It’s my brother’s birthday this week and the day after that a highly cherished and valued friend of the family (making them family) also celebrates a birthday. So that’s significant in itself. Also October kicks off the final quarter of the year. Nights draw in, temperatures […]
Read More A Love Medley with a Dryden UpdateI love Stevie Wonder, as in I love what the man has done in music and all of that stuff. The man is a genius as far as I’m concerned. Got to be honest with you, though. I actually prefer JPK’s version of this song than the one he placed on his huge Songs in […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Love’s In Need – John P. KeeRemind me to tell you of the remarkable story of my wife, her son and my surname. Fascinating stuff, and it’s a true story too. In the meantime all you need to know is that my beloved wife has an equally precious and highly valued son. Indeed to date he is the only son from […]
Read More Appreciating Family In Ever Changing TimesThe mistake I made was going to the service thinking I could just slip in, sit and take in the God-stuff and slip out again without anything major happening. It’s not a mistake I make often, but it is a mistake I made that day. The preacher was passionately declaring what God had put on […]
Read More He Won’t Leave Me AloneWhat an abused word ‘love’ is. We apply to talk about cars, clothes, pets, food (chocolate is excepted, it’s good to love chocolate), people we’ve hardly ever seen and of course for the mother-in-law (blame Les Dawson for that one). That is why of the defining attributes of God it is reassuring to know that […]
Read More DMCD Songs: I Want To Love You – John P, KeeI just cannot tell you how often being a parent, I feel like I’m parenting myself! I see my attitudes towards my parents in the way my children behave. Though it’s a completely different context and they are genuinely very different people to me (for starters I was never the daughter!) it is amazing how […]
Read More Child Of God, You Will LearnThis is the third and final part of a small series looking at lessons I’ve learnt from being on both sides of the door-to-door experience. The first part looked at my responses to being the recipient of the service. The second part looked at what I was like when I did door-to-door work for Jesus […]
Read More Body Building and the Door to Door Experience – Part ThreeIn the last entry I introduced this brief series with some door to door experiences I’ve had recently. As I mentioned, those experiences reminded me of my own brief foray into door to door life. Back at the end of the 20th Century I had got meself heavily involved in church work on a voluntary […]
Read More Body Building and the Door to Door Experience – Part TwoIf you knock about with me long enough, you’ll discover one of my favourite verses to whip out is the first part of 2 Peter 3:18 (worth checking the context). It still hits me as a priority to new believers to realise that in everything that happens, knowing Jesus Christ must remain the most important […]
