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 remember first hearing John Lennon’s Instant Karma when someone lent me the Shaved Fish album back in the mid seventies. It’s Lennon dreaming of an immediate moral cause-and-effect — what you put out into the world instantly comes right back to you. When I used to hear of awful terrorists atrocities in Ireland, I … Continue reading Instant Karma
I’ve been exploring some of the very modern worship songs as an old guy 😀. But now, I’ve decided to alternate between very modern hymns, old hymns, and in-between hymns, namely the worship songs from the 60s to the 90s that feature in hymnbooks such as Mission Praise. Today it’s the turn of the old … Continue reading Hymns: Give Me a Sight, O Saviour

I like how it’s been here in Ireland for the last couple of days (after weeks of cold and rain). It’s sunny, with a slightly cool breeze. It can get a bit muggy/humid in July and August. The weather is often best in June, the time when I would have been doing exams – wishing … Continue reading Here Comes the Sun
When I think of teachers, I can consider the following: To answer the “why”, it’s simply because they were effective, friendly, and enthusiastic. I’m never at ease with mentioning names on my blog, apart from public names. I wouldn’t like people to write about me 😀. Do unto others as you’d have them do to … Continue reading Wayne Grudem

Back in the spring of 1980, Madness released an EP called Work, Rest & Play. The title was based on an advert for Mars Bars. The phrase stuck with me. It’s all about balance. But I do want to spend more time engaging with God. Whenever I worship or pray, I think to myself, “Why … Continue reading Work, Rest, and Pray

I never saw much point in tattoos. I do remember bubble gum as a kid, where you’d get this piece of paper that you licked and placed on your arm, and it left a temporary tattoo. It might have been called Clown chewing gum, but that was way back in the 1960s. It’s just a … Continue reading Keep Praying
