  • My Top 10 Christian Songs of All Time

    ,

    This list might stir some controversy. Not just because having any ‘Top 10’ list is bound to generate a bit of discussion, but also because I’m excluding contemporary Christian music from this list and sticking to the classical hymn style. Hence, one of the points of disagreement I’m expecting are that I’m not giving modern…

  • Moka Pot Coffee Guide

    My housemate is italian. He bought me my moka pot (or as he calls it, my macchinetta). So I consider myself uniquely qualified (both as a coffee nerd and honorary italian) to write this short guide on making perfect Moka Pot coffee. About Moka Pot coffee Moka pot coffee is for black coffee lovers who…

  • My Impossible List

    Call me a copycat if you like, but I’ll take it as a compliment! I took the idea of turning a bucket list into an Impossible List from Joel Runyon. He’s the type of psycho who puts psychos like myself to shame. (I mean that with all love and respect, Joel). Joel’s core message is…

  • John Calvin’s Prayer for Study: A Reflection

    ,

  • The Cost of Ambition

    I’m sick right now. Not throw-up-in-the-toilet sick, but stay-at-home-don’t-talk-to-anyone type of sick. 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…
