John Calvin’s Prayer for Study: A Reflection
As a uni student struggling with the balance of work, life and study, stumbling across this prayer has been a huge blessing for me. Only a few months ago, I acquired a prayer book with recorded prayers from saints throughout history. From Polycarp to John Wesley, the book, although short, contains a richness of petitions…

Tim Lyddy Reviews
This is my master page for all of my blog posts where I review something, be it a product, a book, a music album, or something else! Right now, I haven’t reviewed anything yet, so all you’ll see are placeholders – I’m still working on this page. But keep an eye out, things will come…

It’s the irritating scratchy feeling at the back of your throat, the clouded thinking sensation and the frustrating, never-ending congestion. I’m sick of the blocked ears and the throbbing in my head and eyes, sick of the soreness in my legs. Ok, you’ve…

A Second
So much I can write about for my second ever blog post! One of the aspects of being Tim Lyddy is managing all of the interests I have. Do I spend my time making new friends and serving the needs of people at church? Sit down and listen to the latest Avishai Cohen album? Fry…

A First
I’ve had this site for 2 years. A total of zero views, and a total of a few hundred dollars I’ve spent without once using it. Perhaps I’d better start make my money’s worth with a website that proudly bears my own name! Do I know anything about websites, coding or technology? No. Do I…
