According to the records, I’ve posted over 5,000 blog entries since the launch of the blog in 2005. I have not gone through every single one of those entries to reach this one and there’s every chance that another one might be worthy of selection. Yet when I thought about one entry I’d choose for […]
Read More 20 for 20 #20 If There Was One …You are God’s gift. I recall some people having a problem with the phrase “being God’s gift”. I know some people use it to disparage others who they consider to have a high opinion of themselves. The reality is, though, that you really are God’s gift. You’re God’s gift to me. From the time you […]
Read More Dear Firstborn:The journey is not possible without the contribution of others. It’s quite a remarkable thing to have so much support from people who have been dead for years. Recordings and writings as well as the legacy left in the lives of others, it is a great help to have that handy to assist in the […]
Read More Journeyman Journal: Tributes to the LivingShe doesn’t get the headlines. Her name is rarely mentioned. Others get the media attention. Others are approached at the end of the meetings. Others get the emails and letters. Others get the plaudits. Those others, though, in their quiet time and when they are asked privately will say without hesitation that she is the […]
Read More Diligence: Thoroughly To The Best Of Your AbilityThe loss of a loved one is like a light going out in the world.

Recently I heard […]

It was beautiful to see gifts and affection shown for the women who do so much to nurture and care for their children and others as well. It […]
Read More The Marvel of MothersWhen you read the title, you might be forgiven in thinking that my sister has passed away. Thankfully that is not the case. I am just a big fan in paying tribute to the people who have made a great impact in my life, while they are still alive to read it. Oh and of […]
Read More My Tribute to Ruth Dryden: A Model of ConsistencyToday my beloved wife celebrates her birthday. Now today is not about looking at my marriage and how well that’s gone so far. It’s not the day also to be hailing the qualities of my beloved as a mother – there are plenty of opportunities to do that over the days, weeks and months that […]
Read More Another Thing I Love About My Wife …Trawling through the archives I discover I can neither have a title that says ‘He Ain’t Heavy‘ because that was taken. Neither can I have a title ‘He’s My Brother‘ because that’s taken. I cannot even have a title called ‘Man After God’s Heart‘ because that has been taken as well!! So for the time […]
Read More Oh BrotherI can get away with a post like this now because it’s nowhere near the awards season! If it was January or February you would understandably think me somewhat opportunistic.
