No one knows how long they will live. The invincibility of youth is only pierced by the occasional reminders of mortality when the peers are cut off in their prime. Other than that it is a time for planning and achieving and being everything great without a hint that will ever end. But it will […]
Read More Reaching Half-WayPutting words together is why I love blogging and from time to time I have a lot to write. Not on this occasion. I simply want to thank God for Jesus Christ. God has given me experiences, people and stuff and I’m grateful. These have been precious gifts and have enriched my life beyond words. […]
Read More Thank You Jesus – A Simple Blog EntryAn ‘open letter’ to my Dad. Dear Dad: Hope you and Mum are well in your crib there in Jamaica. On this yet another birthday that God has spared your life to see, I just want to thank God for all His blessings in allowing you to stay in the land of the living so […]
Read More For My DadThe writer of Hebrews in some verse referred to being surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. His point was about the heroes of faith who had been the platform for those now in Christ to keep pursuing life in Him with all their might. I’ve not really seen myself as someone with a lot of […]
Read More Thanks For Brothers and SistersChildren are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. (Psalm 127:3-5a) Fatherhood eh. I have one good friend who is close to becoming a Dad, another who has had the privilege for a few months, […]
Read More Another Thing About Being DadI wanted to post the version of this song that Andrae Crouch did on his brilliant Finally album. Alas I could not find it (the search continues, though and if you find it, let me know). These will do, though. I love this version for the mellow chilled out beginning. I remember one of the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: My Tribute (To God Be The Glory) – Andrae and IsraelOne of the beautiful things about end of year shin-digs is the opportunity it gives you to reflect on the year that was. Last night’s blog post was very important for me to write to encourage myself more than anyone, and thus in as much as I write in the hope that others will be […]
Read More Giving Thanks For What Went On BeforeTime waits for no man (OK other than Joshua, but that was a one off. Alright, so Hezekiah got a bligh as well … but in general it waits for no man). No sooner am I getting over the introduction to responsible adulthood than I’m inducted in the enjoyment of marital bliss. No sooner am […]
Read More Deborah Dryden – Seven Years Old TodayApparently as a song of thanksgiving I’m a bit late posting this song. Balderdash to that!! I’m right on time. I believe I’m alive and the ones I love dearly also remain in the land of the living and thus it’s a time of thanksgiving. This is a superb hymn of thanksgiving especially with the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Come Ye Thankful PeopleI don’t usually remember my dreams. Mine tend to work on the bath principle. Namely when I sleep the dream is the water that fills the bath and then as I move into the waking moments, someone has let the plug out and by the time I’m awake the dream has drained away. That is […]
