It is very difficult for me to read this Psalm. Very difficult. It’s difficult because to read of someone who knows what it is to be rescued and so express this great love for God reminds me of what God has rescued me from. The darkness of depression, the despair of feeling worthless, the delusion […]
Read More Psalm 116 – A Very Good Reason to Love HimMy friend asked me if I was going to say anything, I shook my head. Eventually he got up and shared an aspect of his testimony and he simply gave thanks for being redeemed. It had a powerful impact on the listeners. It had a powerful impact on me. He knew where he had been […]
Read More Psalm 107 – Stories of the RedeemedThe Psalmist knows the Lord is good. You don’t have to tell him twice. In fact he will help you out with one or two (or twenty) benefits we get from the character and actions of the Lord. Check those benefits from verse 3 to 19. You can write a book on each individual benefit […]
Read More Psalm 103 – Don’t Forget All His BenefitsOn Saturday 10th April 2010, Authrine, Deborah, Abigail and I welcomed the final birth member of the family – Zoë Anya Cheryse Dryden. For Authrine and I all of our children (Hey yo Kevaughn!) are precious. Vitality, uniqueness, brilliance and wonder are a few words that begin to explain why they are all beyond value […]
Read More Why Zoë Dryden MattersLooking back on February, it was a very good month indeed. One weekend I spent it with three brothers I don’t see that regularly at all. We met in Stratford-upon-Avon, where William Shakespeare was born … Shakespeare apparently wrote a couple of decent plays back in the day. He wasn’t there when we met, though, […]
Read More Farewell February, Marching OnJanuary is over. Thank God. I did not hate January. Lots of positive steps occurred in the month, developments in one or two pursuits I have had in mind. One of my favourites is coming across the Anchor app. It’s not about ships at sea, thankfully, it’s a brilliant device for conversations and audio snippets […]
Read More Dryden Update – February 2017Yeah, I know it’s not December, but I am reaching the conclusion of the challenge I set for myself back at the beginning of December. 30 Days of Thanksgiving. Not that the Thanksgiving is coming to an end, though. Therein lies the meaning of the last entry on December Thanksgiving. It is truly something wonderful […]
Read More December Thanks #30: EternityI will not forget what God has done for me and my family in 2016. He has definitely exceeded my expectations in ways I truly never even contemplated before. On this basis I am grateful for the memories of His faithfulness and goodness and look forward to discovering more of His greatness to those that […]
Read More December Thanks #29: Memories2016 has been another year of my growing appreciation for WhatsApp, YouTube, Twitter, WordPress and other means of electronic communication. They have been means by which I have been a recipient of the word and been a conveyor of the word. The word has come in greatly through those means. It has been a reminder […]
Read More December Thanks #28: CommunicationA great friend of mine visited us recently. She lives a way away from us but was visiting the area and blessed us with her company for a few hours. As we often do when we haven’t seen each other in a while, we got to talking on a range of topics. Then we dropped […]
