An Irish personal evangelistic site. I'm not representing a particular church, but it's broadly evangelical in tone. My aim is to cover topics I've encountered in discussions I've had over the years, mainly here in Ireland..
I don’t really do the shopping in the house. I sometimes like to treat myself by eating chocolate, but for the most part, I’m trying to eat more healthily, so I do pop down and buy fruit a bit more these days. And this is my opportunity to present a rare Pink Floyd song. It … Continue reading Apples and Oranges
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen Once in Royal David’s City. I watch Carols from King’s every Christmas Eve – or listen to it on BBC radio. This hymn has opened it since since 1919. The service … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: Once in Royal David’s City
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen Away in a Manger. It’s not among my favourites, but it’s one of the carols that we all learned as kids in Ireland. It was first published in the 1880s, often … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: Away in a Manger
I don’t like to describe people that everyone knows, and I don’t like to describe friends and family. I’m not sure that I’d be happy if someone described me on the web. Maybe it depends on what they might say 😄. Wayne Grudem is one of many authors/speakers that have had a positive impact on … Continue reading Wayne Grudem
Yes, my life is pretty much what I pictured a year ago. Maybe I’m at the stage where no news is good news. It’ll be interesting how I answer the same question this time next year. Hopefully I’ll be here to answer it 😀. Sorry for such as short posts, but I’ve plenty of longwinded … Continue reading Yes It Is
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen Good Christian Men, Rejoice. “Good Christian Men, Rejoice” is a medieval Christmas carol rooted in both Latin and German traditions, later translated into English in the 19th century. I first heard … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: Good Christian Men, Rejoice
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen the Victorian hymn See Amid the Winter’s Snow: It’s funny that snow is such a dominant theme, given that we don’t know the time of year in which Jesus was born. … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: See Amid the Winter’s Snow
I have been reviewing some modern worship songs, but I’ve taken a break to explore some Advent and Christmas hymns. 😀. Today, I’ve chosen Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne: I think that I first heard this hymn at the YMCA in Cork at Christmas 1981, sung by a Salvation Army lady. And that Christmas, I … Continue reading Christmas Hymns: Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
I visit many cities virtually, through YouTube and various Google Earth-based applications on my Meta Oculus virtual reality (VR) headset. But for actual travel, I like to stay near home. I live in Limerick, Ireland and I’m originally from Cork. And, I’d be happy to visit any city in Ireland or the UK. I might … Continue reading London Town
Honestly, I don’t imagine that anyone would ever see me as the greatest dancer. I remember that song back in 1979. I was always a bit nervous about dancing. I wasn’t really into disco music back then. I was a bit of a punk, and we used to do the pogo, but it was hard … Continue reading He’s the Greatest Dancer
